Abstract:
A turn-on fluorescent sulfide probe was prepared from carbon dots (CDs; synthesized using an environmentally friendly method) and MnO2 nanosheets. In this composite probe, the fluorescence of the CDs (with excitation/emission peaks at 330/430 nm) is quenched by the MnO2 nanosheets through an inner filter effect. Introducing sulfide causes the MnO2 nanosheets to be disintegrated through a redox reaction between sulfide and MnO2. Hence, the blue fluorescence of the CDs is restored. Under the optimum conditions, fluorescence increases linearly in the 2-25 μM sulfide concentration range. The detection limit is 0.8 μM. The method was used to analyze spiked real water samples, and satisfactory results were achieved. Graphical abstract Schematic of the detecting sulfide ions using the carbon dots/MnO2 fluorescence probe based on the recovery of carbon dot fluorescence when sulfide ions are added.

Dot Product
In engineering, the dot product of any two vectors is the product of the magnitudes of the vectors and the cosine of the angle between them. It is denoted by a dot symbol between the two vectors.
Consider a vehicle pulling an object along the ground using a rope. If the rope makes an angle with the horizontal axis, the work done can be calculated using the dot product of the force applied and the object's displacement.
