ABSTRACT
R-CDAs have been synthesized in a one-pot solvothermal procedure starting from 3,4-diaminobenzoic acid in an acidic medium. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that R-CDAs nanoparticles exhibited a much larger diameter of 7.2-28.8 nm than traditional monodisperse carbon dots. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) revealed the presence of polar functional groups (hydroxyl, amino, carboxyl) on the surface of R-CDAs. Upon excitation with visible light (550 nm), R-CDAs emit stable, red fluorescence with a maximum at 610 nm. Under the optimum conditions, Cu2+ ions quench the fluorescence of this probe, and the signal is linear in a concentration range of copper ions between 5 and 600 nM with the detection limit of only 0.4 nM. Recoveries from 98.0 to 105.0% and relative standard deviations (RSD) from 2.8 to 4.5% have been obtained for detection of Cu2+ in real water samples. Furthermore, the R-CDAs fluorescent probe showed negligible cytotoxicity toward HeLa cells and good bioimaging ability, suggesting its potential applicability as a diagnostic tool in biomedicine.
