- Abstract
- An innovative and facile sensing approach for common inorganic anions present in aqueous media has been developed using nanocomposites of europium doped graphene quantum dots (GQDs:Eu) with zeolitic imidazole frameworks (ZIF-8). GQDs:Eu, prepared initially by solvothermal approach (at <10 nm in diameter), exhibited a strong and intense blue emission at 430 nm when dispersed in ethanol. ZIF-8 nanocubes, synthesized on a parallel basis, were in a fairly uniform size distribution (e.g., 185 nm in diameter). The formation of nanocomposites by surface adsorption (between GQDs:Eu and ZIF-8) led to significant increase in fluorescence intensity as observed through photo-luminescence spectroscopy. Their interactions with anions (e.g., in terms of variations in the fluorescence intensity) were initially checked against sulfide and other anionic species (e.g., Br-, Cl-, F-, and NO3-). Among the tested ions, GQDs:Eu-ZIF-8 were found to effectively and sensitively detect sulfide (S2-) with significantly high turn on fluorescence. The feasibility of this nanosensing system was explored further toward the detection of S2- ions. These nanocomposites were thus demonstrated to be feasible for solution-based sensing of S2- ions with high reproducibility and sensitivity at limit of detection (LOD) of 0.12 ppm.
