Abstract
Accurate measurement of hazardous synthetic dye is highly attractive for environmental and food safety inspection. Herein, red fluorescent carbon dots (R-CDs) are meticulously engineered by employing Azure A as a fluorophore to optimize the optical characteristics, thereby promoting high-efficiency fluorescence emission at 648 nm. The constructed R-CDs demonstrate excitation-independent characteristics remarkable photostability and superior water solubility. It is encouraging that the developed R-CDs demonstrate a specific response to MG, effectively differentiating it from other substances. The engineered R-CDs demonstrate concentration-responsive fluorescence quenching towards MG, exhibiting rapid response time with a well-defined linear detection range of 0.09–8.21 μM and ultralow detection limit of 24.2 nM. Furthermore, the spike recovery analysis of MG in fish tissue demonstrated robust performance with recoveries of 97.63–106.0 % (RSD <6.37 %), highlighting the analytical reliability for MG identification in aquatic products. The aforementioned results underscore the significant potential of the developed R-CDs for MG detection in aquatic products and bolster their application in food safety inspections.
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.
