Abstract

En 中文
Herein, we engineered a novel pH-responsive ratiometric assay by virtue of the composite system of Ce 3 + - enhanced glutathione-encapsulated copper nanoclusters (GSH-CuNCs-Ce 3 + ) and N-doped carbon quantum dots (N-CQDs). The GSH-CuNCs-Ce 3 + and N-CQDs were fabricated using one -pot chemical reduction and hydrothermal approaches, respectively, and their morphologies as well as physical and chemical properties were testified in detail by a series of characterization techniques. At 350 nm excitation wavelength, the GSH-CuNCsCe 3 + /N-CQDs system (GCC-NC) featured the 440/650 nm dual-emitting property. The ratios of fluorescence intensities (F 650 /F 440 ) demonstrated a strong pH-dependence from 3.0 to 5.0 with a coefficient of determination of 0.9982. Consequently, the GCC-NC system was feasible for constructing a pH-responsive dual-emitting fluoroprobe. Based on the catalytic effect of acetylcholinesterase on acetylcholine to yield acetic acid and further trigger varying solution pH, the as-constructed GCC-NC fluoroprobe was satisfactorily applied for detecting malathion. Under optimized conditions, the newly developed GCC-NC fluoroprobe supplied a wider linear range (0.25 -200 mu M), lower detection limit (0.075 mu M), satisfactory recoveries (96.3 -106.2%) and higher precision for malathion in several kinds of fruit juice samples. The fortified experiments by malathion 's structural analogues and metal ions provided compelling evidence that this fluoroprobe had strong anti-interference capacity and high specificity for malathion. These findings render us to believe that the as-constructed pH-responsive dualemitting fluoroprobe holds great promise in trace malathion assay in food matrices.
