A Novel Turn-On Fluorescent Sensor Based on Sulfur Quantum Dots and MnO₂ Nanosheet Architectures for Detection of Hydrazine.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, the SQDs@MnO₂ NS as the probe was applied to construct a novel "turn-on" fluorescent sensor for sensitive and selective detection of hydrazine (N₂H₄). Sulfur quantum dots (SQDs) and MnO₂ nanosheets (MnO₂ NS) were simply mixed, through the process of adsorption to prepare the architectures of SQDs@MnO₂ NS. The fluorescent emissions of SQDs@MnO₂ NS play a key role to indicate the state of the sensor. According to the inner filter effect (IFE) mechanism, the state of the sensor at the "off" position, or low emission, under the presence of MnO₂ NS, is which the ultraviolet and visible spectrum overlaps with the fluorescence emission spectrum of SQDs. Under the optimal conditions, the emission was gradually recovered with the addition of the N₂H₄, since the N₂H₄ as a strong reductant could make the MnO₂ NS converted into Mn²⁺, the state of the sensor at the "on". Meanwhile, the fluorescent sensor possesses good selectivity and high sensitivity, and the detection concentration of N₂H₄ with a wide range from 0.1 µM to 10 mM with a detection limit of 0.072 µM. Furthermore, actual samples were successful in detecting certain implications, indicating that the fluorescent sensor possesses the potential application ability to monitor the N₂H₄ in the water.

Phosphorescent MoS2 quantum dots as a temperature sensor and security ink.

Project description:Currently, few phosphorescent materials (PMs) possess a long phosphorescence lasting time and have potential for application in chemical sensors. Herein, we disclose that the incorporation of few-layer molybdenum disulfide quantum dots (FL-MoS2 QDs) into poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) matrices leads to the emission of bright green phosphorescence with a long lasting time of 3.0 s and a phosphorescence quantum yield of 20%. This enhanced phosphorescence originates from the formation of O-H⋯S hydrogen bonding networks between the rich sulfur sites of the FL-MoS2 QDs and the hydroxyl groups of the PVA molecules, which not only rigidifies the vibration modes of the FL-MoS2 QDs but also provides an oxygen barrier. Further investigations reveal that the FL-MoS2 QD/PVA composites exhibit a longer phosphorescence lasting time than N,S-doped carbon dots, few layer tungsten disulfide quantum dots, Rhodamine 6G, and Rhodamine B in PVA matrices. Since heat efficiently induced the removal of water moisture from PVA matrices, the FL-MoS2 QD/PVA composites could be implemented for phosphorescence turn-on and naked-eye detection of temperature variations ranging from 30 to 70 °C. By contrast, the carbon dot/PVA composites were incapable of sensing environmental temperature due to their weak hydrogen bonding with the hydroxyl groups of PVA matrices. Additionally, this study reveals the potential of the FL-MoS2 QD/PVA composites as an advanced security ink for anti-counterfeiting and encryption applications. The given results could open a new direction for potential application of two-dimensional quantum dots in phosphorescence-based sensors and security inks.

New Off-On Sensor for Captopril Sensing Based on Photoluminescent MoO x Quantum Dots.

Project description:Molybdenum oxide nanomaterials have recently attracted widespread attention for their unique optical properties and catalytic performance. However, until now, there is little literature on the application of photoluminescent molybdenum oxide nanomaterials in biological and pharmaceutical sensing. Herein, photoluminescent molybdenum oxide quantum dots (MoO x QDs) were synthesized via a facile method, and then, the synthesized MoO x QDs were further applied as a new type of photoluminescent probe to design a new off-on sensor for captopril (Cap) determination on the basis of the fact that the quenched photoluminescence of MoO x QDs by Cu2+ was restored with Cap through specific interaction between the thiol group of Cap and Cu2+. Under optimal conditions, the restored photoluminescence intensity showed a good linear relationship with the content of Cap, ranging from 1.0 to 150.0 μM, with a limit of detection of 0.51 μM (3σ/k). Additionally, the content of Cap in pharmaceutical samples was successfully detected with the newly developed off-on sensor, and the recoveries were 99.4-101.7%, which suggest that the present off-on sensor has a high accuracy.

A Novel Artificial Neuron-Like Gas Sensor Constructed from CuS Quantum Dots/Bi2S3 Nanosheets.

Project description:Real-time rapid detection of toxic gases at room temperature is particularly important for public health and environmental monitoring. Gas sensors based on conventional bulk materials often suffer from their poor surface-sensitive sites, leading to a very low gas adsorption ability. Moreover, the charge transportation efficiency is usually inhibited by the low defect density of surface-sensitive area than that in the interior. In this work, a gas sensing structure model based on CuS quantum dots/Bi2S3 nanosheets (CuS QDs/Bi2S3 NSs) inspired by artificial neuron network is constructed. Simulation analysis by density functional calculation revealed that CuS QDs and Bi2S3 NSs can be used as the main adsorption sites and charge transport pathways, respectively. Thus, the high-sensitivity sensing of NO2 can be realized by designing the artificial neuron-like sensor. The experimental results showed that the CuS QDs with a size of about 8 nm are highly adsorbable, which can enhance the NO2 sensitivity due to the rich sensitive sites and quantum size effect. The Bi2S3 NSs can be used as a charge transfer network channel to achieve efficient charge collection and transmission. The neuron-like sensor that simulates biological smell shows a significantly enhanced response value (3.4), excellent responsiveness (18 s) and recovery rate (338 s), low theoretical detection limit of 78 ppb, and excellent selectivity for NO2. Furthermore, the developed wearable device can also realize the visual detection of NO2 through real-time signal changes.

Oxygen accelerated scalable synthesis of highly fluorescent sulfur quantum dots.

Project description:Here, we report a facile and efficient approach for the large-scale synthesis of highly fluorescent sulfur quantum dots (SQDs) from inexpensive elemental sulfur under a pure oxygen (O2) atmosphere. The important finding of this work is that the polysulfide (S x 2-) ions could be oxidized to zero-valent sulfur (S[0]) by O2, which is the accelerator of the reaction. The SQDs prepared by this method possess nearly monodisperse size (1.5-4 nm), high fluorescence quantum yield (21.5%), tunable emission, and stable fluorescence against pH change, ionic strength variation and long-term storage. Moreover, the reaction yield of SQDs reached as high as 5.08% based on the content of S element in SQDs, which is much higher than other reported approaches (generally <1%). The prepared SQDs could be easily processed for widespread applications thanks to their low toxicity and superior dispersibility both in water and common organic solvents. These high-quality SQDs may find applications similar to or beyond those of carbon QDs and silicon QDs.

MnO2 nanosheet mediated "DD-A" FRET binary probes for sensitive detection of intracellular mRNA.

Project description:The donor donor-acceptor (DD-A) FRET model has proven to have a higher FRET efficiency than donor-acceptor acceptor (D-AA), donor-acceptor (D-A), and donor donor-acceptor acceptor (DD-AA) FRET models. The in-tube and in-cell experiments clearly demonstrate that the "DD-A" FRET binary probes can indeed increase the FRET efficiency and provide higher imaging contrast, which is about one order of magnitude higher than the ordinary "D-A" model. Furthermore, MnO2 nanosheets were employed to deliver these probes into living cells for intracellular TK1 mRNA detection because they can adsorb ssDNA probes, penetrate across the cell membrane and be reduced to Mn2+ ions by intracellular GSH. The results indicated that the MnO2 nanosheet mediated "DD-A" FRET binary probes are capable of sensitive and selective sensing gene expression and chemical-stimuli changes in gene expression levels in cancer cells. We believe that the MnO2 nanosheet mediated "DD-A" FRET binary probes have the potential as a simple but powerful tool for basic research and clinical diagnosis.

Quantum dots in imaging, drug delivery and sensor applications.

Project description:Quantum dots (QDs), also known as nanoscale semiconductor crystals, are nanoparticles with unique optical and electronic properties such as bright and intensive fluorescence. Since most conventional organic label dyes do not offer the near-infrared (>650 nm) emission possibility, QDs, with their tunable optical properties, have gained a lot of interest. They possess characteristics such as good chemical and photo-stability, high quantum yield and size-tunable light emission. Different types of QDs can be excited with the same light wavelength, and their narrow emission bands can be detected simultaneously for multiple assays. There is an increasing interest in the development of nano-theranostics platforms for simultaneous sensing, imaging and therapy. QDs have great potential for such applications, with notable results already published in the fields of sensors, drug delivery and biomedical imaging. This review summarizes the latest developments available in literature regarding the use of QDs for medical applications.

Photoluminescence investigations of sulfur quantum dots synthesized by a bubbling-assisted strategy.

Project description:Sulfur quantum dots (S-dots) emerge as promising luminescent materials owing to their remarkable optical properties. However, the mechanisms of their formation and photoluminescence remain concealed. We reveal these mechanisms by the bubbling-assisted synthesis and spectroscopic study of S-dots formed from sulfur ions produced by the alkaline oxidation of bulk sulfur under the passivation of PEG. The emission colour of the S-dots depends on the size, explained by the quantum confinement effect. The dots' luminescent quantum efficiency is strongly affected by the surface sulfur species, which is optimized by the proper surface oxidation. The simple synthesis, excellent luminescence properties, and metal-free nature attract S-dots to optoelectronic and electroluminescence applications.

Photoluminescence of PdS2 and PdSe2 quantum dots.

Project description:Group-10 transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) materials have recently attracted considerable attention in optoelectronics applications. However, so far their quantum dot (QD) counterparts with photoluminescence (PL) nature still remain to be revealed. In this study, 2 typical types of group-10 TMD material (PdS2 and PdSe2) QDs are fabricated via liquid exfoliation using N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) solvent. The absorption and PL spectra of these QD solutions are studied, exhibiting excitation wavelength-dependent behaviors and large Stokes shifts. Furthermore, the quantum yield and decay lifetime are also investigated and analyzed. The obtained results suggest promising optoelectronic applications with group-10 TMD QDs in the future.
