Microwave-assisted synthesis of cyclen functional carbon dots to construct a ratiometric fluorescent probe for tetracycline detection

Abstract

Fluorescent carbon dots were synthesized by microwave irradiation of cyclen and citric acid to construct a ratiometric probe for tetracycline detection.

A Mini Review on Carbon Quantum Dots: Preparation, Properties, and Electrocatalytic Application

“…Among the bottom-up approaches, the microwave pyrolysis method has been well-established due to the rapid synthesis and commercialization (Schwenke et al, 2015; In et al, 2017; Rai et al, 2017; Jiang et al, 2018; Shen et al, 2018). Zhu et al reported a facile microwave pyrolysis approach to synthesize CQDs by combining poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG200) and a saccharide (glucose, fructose, etc.)…”

Recent development of carbon quantum dots regarding their optical properties, photoluminescence mechanism, and core structure

“…CDs prepared from citric acid and a nitrogen dopant and also precursors which already possess fluorescence are the limit of molecular states' ability to explain CDs PL. 31,131,132 Based on the trends in recent CDs literature, it appears that a surface state controlled PL will be investigated more deeply in the future.…”

Ratio fluorescence detection of tetracycline by a Eu3+/NH2-MIL-53(Al) composite

“…Recently, a new ratiometric uorescence probe based on carbon dots was further developed for detecting TC. 12,17 Liking metal-organic framework materials (MOFs), twodimensional metal-organic framework nanosheets are coordinately assembled by metals and organic ligands. Compared with MOFs, MOFs nanosheets have many advantages, such as rich active sites, large specic surface area, high aspect ratio, adjustable porous structure and chemical composition, as well as ultra-thin thickness, which are widely used in the elds of catalysis, gas separation and chemical sensing.…”
