Eu³⁺-functionalized CQD hybrid material: synthesis, luminescence properties and sensing application for the detection of Cu²⁺

Abstract

In this work, we develop a novel flexible method to construct a lanthanide dual-emitting ratiometric fluorescence nanoprobe with excellent luminescence properties and significantly selectivity for the detection of copper ions,...

Preparation and application of carbon quantum dot fluorescent probes combined with rare earth ions

“…Similarly, in 2021, Qiu et al successfully developed an Eu 3+ -functionalized carbon quantum dot fluorescent probe for the highly selective recognition of Cu 2+ in water. 74 As shown in Fig. 8b, Qiu and colleagues first prepared blue CQDs via the hydrothermal method and further introduced the lanthanide complex Eu-DPA in the material.…”

Green-light-emitting carbon dots via eco-friendly route and their potential in ferric-ion detection and WLEDs

“…Carbon materials are playing significant roles in the development of materials science. Most recently, as a new member of the carbon family, carbon dots (CDs) have emerged and aroused research hotspots in many fields, including biomedicine, 1,2 chemical sensors, 3–6 photocatalysis 7,8 and photoelectric devices, 9,10 due to their excellent and tunable fluorescence properties, abundant low-cost sources, low toxicity, appreciable biocompatibility and high thermal stability. In particular, the rich optical and electronic properties of CDs, which include tunable photoluminescence (PL), 11 extraordinary up-converted PL 12 and outstanding photo-induced electron transfer, 13 have attracted considerable interest in the photoelectric applications of white-light-emitting diodes (WLEDs).…”
