A simple and effective strategy for designing a ratiometric fluorescent nanosensor was described. A carbon dots (CDs) based dual-emission nanosensor for chromium speciation analysis was developed by coating CDs on the surface of dye-doped silica nanoparticles. The fluorescence of the resulting dual-emission silica nanoparticles was quenched in acetic acid through potassium bromate (KBrO3) oxidation. Cr(VI) was able to catalyze KBrO3 oxidation, resulting in ratiometric fluorescence accelerated quenching response of the dual-emission silica nanoparticles. Several important parameters affecting the nanosensor performance, including acid type, concentrations of KBrO3, and reaction temperature and time were examined. Under the optimized conditions, the detection limit of the nanosensor towards Cr(VI) reached 1.3 ng mL−1, and pretty good linearity was obtained between 20 to 500 ng mL−1. More importantly, the sensor was found suitable for speciation analysis of both Cr(III) and Cr(VI) in different water samples with satisfactory results.

The use of carbon dots (CDs) with dual emission based on ratiometric fluorescence has been attracting attention in recent times for more accurate ion detection since they help avoid interference from background noise, probe concentration, and complexity. Herein, novel dual-emission nitrogen-doped CDs (NCDs) were prepared by a simple method for Cu2+ and ClO- detection. The NCDs showed excellent anti-interference ability and selectivity for different emissions. In addition, a good linear relationship was observed between the fluorescence intensity (FI) of the NCD solutions in different emissions with Cu2+ (0–90 μM) and ClO- (0–75 μM). The limits of both Cu2+ detection and ClO- were very low, at 17.7 and 11.6 nM, respectively. The NCDs developed herein also showed a good recovery rate in water for Cu2+ and ClO− detection. Hence, they are expected to have a more extensive application prospect in real samples.
