Popis: | A new strategy for the determination of picolinic acid (PLA) is developed by utilizing green-emissive boron and nitrogen co-doped carbon nanodots (BNCNDs) and Cu2+ ion. Hydroquinone, uric acid and boric acid act as carbon, nitrogen and boron sources for BNCNDs synthesis, respectively. Interestingly, the green emission of BNCNDs is quenched in the presence of Cu2+ by electron transfer. Upon addition of the specific reagent (PLA), Cu2+ ion is removed from the surface of BNCNDs owing to the formation of a strong complex between PLA and Cu2+ ion, which leads to a significant fluorescence recovery of BNCNDs. The “turn-on” phenomenon allows to determine PLA by a very simple method. This chemosensing method displays a linear range from 50 nM to 80 μM with a detection limit of 14 nM (3σ/k) for PLA. The method was applied to the determination of PLA in fetal bovine serum samples with the recoveries between 94 and 106%, which shows that this method has potential for use in applications to real samples. |
