Ecotoxicology and environmental safety(2022)
摘要
Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) determination is of great importance to the public health because of its extensive sources and high toxicity. However, interference from non-target ions and complex matrix remains challenges for Cr(VI) detection. In this work, we constructed a novel sensing system for high selectivity detection of Cr(VI), which is composed of strong emitting carbon dots (CE-CDs) and a specific masking agent. The detection con-ditions, anti-interference capability and the sensing and masking mechanisms of CE-CDs-based sensing method were systematically investigated. The results revealed that the optimal detection conditions included pH 4-10, reaction time 180 s and CE-CDs concentration 18 mg/L. Under optimal conditions, the linear range of the method was up to 500 mu m, and the detection limit was as low as 23 nM. In addition, the interference of Hg(II) can be accurately eliminated by using DMPS, an effective masking agent. During the sensing process, inner filter effect and ion-molecular interaction between Cr(VI) and CE-CDs accounted for the fluorescence quenching mechanism, while the efficient masking was attributed to the strong coordination interaction between Hg(II) and DMPS. Most notably, this method had broad applicability, even for the trace detection of Cr(VI) in colored leather with complex matrix. These findings indicate that this approach is expected to open up new avenues for Cr(VI) detection.
