Citric acid capped CdS quantum dots (CA-CdS QDs), a new assembled fluorescent probe for copper ions (Cu2+), was synthesized successfully by a simple hydrothermal method. In this work, the fluorescence sensor for the detection of heavy and transition metal (HTM) ions has been extensively studied in aqueous solution. The results of the present study indicate that the obtained CA-CdS QDs could detect Cu2+ with high sensitivity and selectivity. It found that the existence of Cu2+ has a significant fluorescence quenching with a large red shifted (from greenish-yellow to yellowish-orange), but not in the presence of 17 other HTM ions. As a result, Cu2S, the energy level below the CdS conduction band, could be formed at the surface of the CA-CdS QDs and leads to the quenching of fluorescence of CA-CdS QDs. Under optimal conditions, the copper ions detection range using the synthesized fluorescence sensor was 1.0 × 10‒8 M to 5.0 × 10‒5 M and the limit of detection (LOD) is 9.2 × 10‒9 M. Besides, the as-synthesized CA-CdS QDs sensor exhibited good selectivity toward Cu2+ relative to other common metal ions. Thus, the CA-CdS QDs has potential applications for detecting Cu2+ in real water samples.

The CdS quantum dots sensitized TiO2 nanotubes were prepared by sequential chemical bath deposition (S-CBD) method and characterized by FE-SEM and UV-vis spectroscopy. And they were used to degrade the dimethyl phthalate (DMP) in aqueous under sunlight irradiation. The results show that these photo-catalysts have the highest performance, while the initial concentration of dimethyl phthalate in aqueous solution is 10 mg / L, the degradation rates reaches above 80% in the optimum condition which is the CdS deposited 20 cycles, catalyst dosage ~3cm2, and the sunlight irradiating 180 minutes.
