In this study, a novel ratiometric fluorescent nanoprobe for pH monitoring has been developed by synthesizing red fluorescent Ag 2 S quantum dots (Ag 2 S QDs) and green fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) nanohybrids (Ag 2 S CDs) in one pot using CDs as templates. The nanoprobe exhibits dual-emission peaks at 500 and 670 nm under a single-excitation wavelength of 450 nm. The red fluorescence can be selectively quenched by increasing pH, while the green fluorescence is an internal reference. Therefore, the change of the relative fluorescence intensity (I 500 /I 670 ) in the ratiometric Ag 2 S CDs probes can be used for pH sensing. The results revealed that I 500 /I 670 of Ag 2 S CDs probes was linearly related to pH variation between pH 5.4 and 6.8. Meanwhile, the Ag 2 S CDs probes possessed a good reversibility along with pH changing between 5.0 and 7.0 without any interruption from common metal ions, proteins and other interferences.

Highly luminescent silicon quantum dots (SiQDs) were prepared via one-pot hydrothermal route. Furthermore, the optimal synthetic conditions, dependence of the emission spectrum on the excitation wavelength and fluorescent stability of SiQDs were investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy. SiQDs exhibited bright blue fluorescence, and photoluminescence (PL) lifetime is 10.8 ns when excited at 325 nm. The small-sized SiQDs (~3.3 nm) possessed uniform particle size, crystal lattice spacing of 0.31 nm and silicon (111), (220) crystal planes. Luminescent SiQDs/sodium alginate (SA)-carboxymethylcellulose sodium (CMC) nanocomposite bio-polymer films were successfully fabricated by incorporating SiQDs into the SA-CMC matrix. Meanwhile, SiQDs not only impart strong fluorescence to the polymer, but also make the composite films have favorable toughness.

Multi-doped carbon dots (C-dots) were synthesized by a facile one-pot solvothermal method, and the C-dots could be used as a ratiometric pH probe directly without integrating with other dyes, which was demonstrated by monitoring the proton-producing enzyme catalytic reactions.

Nitrogen and sulfur codoped carbon dots (NSCDs) were synthesized via a one-pot hydrothermal method, and citric acid, ethylenediamine, and methyl blue were used as precursors. The obtained NSCDs were spherical with an average size of 1.86 nm. The fluorescence emission spectra of the NSCDs were excitation independent and emitted blue fluorescence at 440 nm with an excitation wavelength at 350 nm. The quantum yield of the NSCDs was calculated to be 68.0%. The NSCDs could be constructed as fluorescent probes for highly selective and sensitive sensing mercuric (Hg2+) and hypochlorite (ClO−) ions. As the addition of Hg2+ or ClO− ions to the NSCDs, the fluorescence intensity was effectively quenched due to dynamic quenching. Under the optimal conditions, the linear response of the fluorescence intensity ranged from 0.7 μM to 15 μM with a detection limit of 0.54 μM and from 0.3 μM to 5.0 μM with a limit of detection of 0.29 μM for Hg2+ and ClO− ions, respectively. Finally, the proposed method was successfully used for quantifying Hg2+ and ClO− ions in spiked tap water samples.
