Popis: An optical fiber nanoprobe is presented for fluorometric determination of copper(II). The method based on the use of water-dispersible AgInZnS quantum dots (QDs) deposited at the end of an optical fiber in a poly(vinyl alcohol) matrix. The fluorescnece of the QDs, best measured at excitation/emisssion wavelengths of 365/570 nm, is quenched by Cu(II) due to both static and electron transfer from the QDs to Cu(II). This is experimentally confirmed by photoluminescence and UV-vis absorption spectra, and measurement of luminescence lifetimes. The probe is highly selective and possesses a linear detection range that extends from 2.5 to 800 nM. Graphical abstractSchematic representation of an optical fiber nanoprobe based on hydrophilic AgInZnS quantum dots for fluorometric determination of copper(II). The fluorescence is quenched by Cu(II) due to static quenching and dynamic quenching. It has a detection range of 2.5-800 nM.
