Abstract
The development of affordable and ecologically acceptable technologies
for heavy metal detection and removal is required due to the rising levels of water and soil
pollution. Carbon Dots (CDs) have emerged as a promising nanomaterial for heavy metal detection
due to their unique properties. In this study, we report a simple and eco-friendly method to
produce CDs using Muntingia calabura fruit extract as a precursor.
The hydrothermal method produced a well-defined size, structure, and optical properties
of CDs, which were analyzed by using various characterization techniques, including Field
Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy
(EDS), Elemental mapping (E-map), UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier
Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, and Transmission
Electron Microscopy (TEM). Additionally, Zeta potential and DLS analysis were used to
characterize the CDs.
As-synthesized CDs exhibited strong fluorescence emission, making them suitable for
the selective determination of Fe3+ ions. The detection limit was found to be 3.6 μM for Fe3+
ions, which highlighted the potential application of as-prepared CDs in environmental monitoring.
The green synthesized CDs from Muntingia calabura fruit extract provided a sustainable
approach for developing efficient nanoprobes for detecting Fe3+ ions in environmental
and biological samples.
