Abstract:
In this work, a sensitive fluorescent sensor toward p-nitrophenol (4-NP) integrating magnetic molecularly imprinted materials and carbon dots (CDs) was proposed. Magnetic material and CDs derived from K3 [Fe(CN)6] and glucose were simultaneously obtained through simple one-step hydrothermal process. Introducing of molecularly imprinted materials based magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE) endowed the constructed fluorescent sensor with higher sensitivity and selectivity. The significant factors affecting the sensitivity of the sensor toward 4-NP were optimized. Good linearity was obtained between fluorescent intensity of CDs and different concentration of 4-NP from 0.08 to 62.5 μg L-1. The sensitivity of constructed sensor was very low with detection limit of 0.02 μg L-1. Reliable applicability was also proved by the well-pleasing recoveries of 94.2-97.8% with different spiked concentrations of 4-NP in real environmental waters.
