Abstract
This research work demonstrates an easy synthesis of Silver nanoparticles decorated Blue Carbon Dots-based Pectin films (AgNPs@BCDs/PN) and its use towards sensitive and selective detection of Tartrazine (TZ) in candy samples by spectrofluorimetry method. Blue Carbon Dots were prepared through hydrothermal treatment of Citric acid and Thiourea. AgNPs@BCDs were prepared using mechanical stirring. The particle sizes of AgNPs@BCDs were found to be in the range of 12.5 to 23.8 nm. Various techniques were deployed to explore the structural, morphological and photoluminescent behaviour of AgNPs@BCDs. The fluorescence method achieved a limit of detection (LOD) of 21.02 nM within the range of 0–32 μM. Combination of Photoinduced Electron Transfer (PET) and Surface state modulation was adopted for the sensing. The recoveries and relative standard deviations were 94.11–99.42 % and 1.61–1.91 % respectively. This work highlights the great application prospects of AgNPs@BCDs/PN for Tartrazine sensing in a rapid, simple and sensitive way.
期刊介绍:
Spectrochimica Acta, Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy (SAA) is an interdisciplinary journal which spans from basic to applied aspects of optical spectroscopy in chemistry, medicine, biology, and materials science.
The journal publishes original scientific papers that feature high-quality spectroscopic data and analysis. From the broad range of optical spectroscopies, the emphasis is on electronic, vibrational or rotational spectra of molecules, rather than on spectroscopy based on magnetic moments.
Criteria for publication in SAA are novelty, uniqueness, and outstanding quality. Routine applications of spectroscopic techniques and computational methods are not appropriate.
Topics of particular interest of Spectrochimica Acta Part A include, but are not limited to:
Spectroscopy and dynamics of bioanalytical, biomedical, environmental, and atmospheric sciences,
Novel experimental techniques or instrumentation for molecular spectroscopy,
Novel theoretical and computational methods,
Novel applications in photochemistry and photobiology,
Novel interpretational approaches as well as advances in data analysis based on electronic or vibrational spectroscopy.
