The strongly fluorescent and highly catalytic N-doped carbon dots (CDN) were rapidly prepared by a microwave irradiation procedure and were characterized by electron microscopy (EM), laser scattering, infrared spectroscopy (IR), and by their fluorescence spectrum. It was found that the CDN had a strong catalytic effect on the fluorescence reaction of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine hydroxide ((TMB)–H2O2) which produced the oxidation product of TMB (TMBOX) with strong fluorescence at 406 nm. The aptamer (Apt) was adsorbed on the CDN surfaces which weakened the fluorescence intensity due to the inhibition of catalytic activity. When the target molecule isocarbophos (IPS) was added, it reacted with the Apt to form a stable conjugate and free CDN which restored the catalytic activity to enhance the fluorescence. Using TMBOX as a fluorescent probe, a highly sensitive nanocatalytic method for determination of 0.025–1.5 μg/L IPS was established with a detection limit of 0.015 μg/L. Coupling the CDN fluorescent probe with the Apt–IPS reaction, a new CD fluorescence method was established for the simple and rapid determination of 0.25–1.5 μg/L IPS with a detection limit of 0.11 μg/L.

Carbon dots (CD) have excellent stability and fluorescence activity, and have been widely used in fluorescence methods. However, there are no reports about using CD as catalysts to amplify SERS signals to detect trace sulfate. Thus, preparing CD catalysts and their application in SERS sulfate-sensing are significant. In this article, highly catalytic N-doped carbon dots (CDN) were prepared by a hydrothermal procedure. CDN exhibited strong catalysis of the gold nanoparticle (AuNP) reaction between HAuCl4 and H2O2. Vitoria blue 4R (VB4R) has a strong SERS peak at 1614 cm−1 in the formed AuNP sol substrate. When Ba2+ ions were added, they were adsorbed on a CDN surface to inhibit the CDN catalytic activity that caused the SERS peak decreasing. Upon addition of analyte SO42−, a reaction with Ba2+ produced stable BaSO4 precipitate and CDN, and its catalysis recovered to cause SERS intensity increasing linearly. Thus, an SERS method was developed for the detection of 0.02–1.7 μmol/L SO42−, with a detection limit of 0.007 μmol/L.
