Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of pH-sensitive boron and nitrogen co-doped CDs (B, N-CDs) is reported. The fluorescence of B, N-CDs exhibited pH-responsive behavior within the range pH 3.0–6.0, attributed to their controlled aggregation and disaggregation. Interestingly, the fluorescence of B, N-CDs was quenched by the inner filter effect from chrome azurol S (CAS). With the subsequent addition of Al3+, the fluorescence of B, N-CDs was restored due to the formation of blue Al3+-CAS and B, N-CDs-Al3+ complexes. Consequently, a fluorescent and colorimetric dual-mode sensor for Al3+ detection was developed. The proposed sensor enabled Al3+ detection in the ranges and limits of detection of 3.75–22.5 μM and 2.67 μM for the fluorescent mode and 5–20 μM and 4.8 μM for the colorimetric mode, respectively. Furthermore, the efficacy of the sensor was validated through successful detection of Al3+ in tablet samples. The obtained B, N-CDs promised the application in acid condition and the proposed sensor is expected to be applied to in situ on-line detection of Al3+.
