Aqueous synthesis of functionalized copper sulfide quantum dots as near-infrared luminescent probes for detection of Hg(2+), Ag(+) and Au(3).
Scientific Reports 2017 September 14
Stable water-soluble copper sulfide(Cu2S) quantum dots(QDs) with near-infrared emission were synthesized using N-acetyl-L-cysteine(NAC) as a modifier in aqueous solution and nitrogen atmosphere at room temperature. The product was characterized by TEM, XRD, XPS, FT-IR, FL and UV-VIS spectrometers. Effects of preparation conditions such as pH values, the molar ratio of reactants, temperature, and metal ions on the fluorescence properties of Cu2S QDs were discussed. Under optimal conditions, the prepared Cu2S QDs with average diameter about 2-5 nm show a near-infrared emission at 770 nm with the excitation wavelength of 466 nm, and have a good detection sensitivity for ions of Hg(2+), Ag(+) and Au(3+), based on the characteristic of fluorescence quenching. The fluorescence quenching mechanism was proposed via electron transfer with cation exchange, which based on the theory of Hard-Soft-Acid-Base (HSAB) and Ksp value of metal-sulfide.
