The resulting N-CQDs exhibit excellent stability, solubility and fluorescence properties. Upon the introduction of tetracycline, a fluorescence burst can be observed, indicating that the N-CQDs function as a ratio fluorescence probe. The fluorescence burst phenomenon is primarily due to the internal filtering effect. In the case of N-CQDs, this burst is attributed to the overlap between the absorption spectrum of tetracycline and the emission spectrum of the carbon quantum dots, which results in internal filtering.
