ABSTRACT
Recently, the development of new fluorescent probes for the ratiometric detection of target objects inside living cells has received great attention. Normally, the preparation, modification as well as conjugation procedures of these probes are complicated. On this basis, great efforts have been paid to establish convenient method for the preparation of dual emissive nanosensor. In this work, a functional dual emissive carbon dots (dCDs) was prepared by a one-pot hydrothermal carbonization method. The dCDs exhibits two distinctive fluorescence emission peaks at 440 and 624 nm with the excitation at 380 nm. Different from the commonly reported dCDs, this probe exhibited an interesting wavelength dependent dual responsive functionality toward lysine (440 nm) and pH (624 nm), enabling the ratiometric detection of these two targets. The quantitative analysis displayed that a linear range of 0.5-260 µM with a detection limit of 94 nM toward lysine and the differentiation of pH variation from 1.5 to 5.0 could be readily realized in a ratiometric strategy, which was not reported before with other carbon dots (CDs) as the probe. Furthermore, because of the low cytotoxicity, good optical and colloidal stability, and excellent wavelength dependent sensitivity and selectivity toward lysine and pH, this probe was successfully applied to monitor the dynamic variation of lysine and pH in cellular systems, demonstrating the promising applicability for biosensing in the future.
