Abstract
- In this paper, we report on the development of an 'off–on' fluorescent probe for the detection of hydrogen peroxide (H<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>2</subscript>) and mercury ions (Hg<superscript>2+</superscript>) using an in situ synthesized carbon quantum dot and gum Arabic silver nanoparticle composite (CQDs@GA-Ag NPs). Electron microscopy measurement clearly shows that CQDs are attached to the surface of the GA-Ag NPs. The fluorescence intensity of the CQDs was dramatically quenched in the synthesized nanocomposite via the inner filter effect (IFE) mechanism. After adding H<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>2</subscript> to the nanocomposite system, the Ag NPs got oxidized leading to the formation of Ag<superscript>+</superscript> ions, and the CQDs regained their photoluminescence (PL) property. This facilitates the detection of H<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>2</subscript> with an extremely low detection limit of 1.02 μM. Furthermore, the as-developed nanocomposite was also tested for the detection of Hg<superscript>2+</superscript> ions, obtaining a remarkably low detection limit of 1.82 μM. The developed probe was extremely selective over a wide range of interfering ions and substances. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
