Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of chemical synthesis and relates to the preparation of carbon-based materials, specifically an easily purified Ca... 2+ and Mg 2+ Preparation methods and applications of responsive carbon dots. Background Technology

[0002] The discovery of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) in 2004 attracted widespread attention from researchers. CQDs, also known as carbon dots (CDs), are a class of zero-dimensional carbon-based nanomaterials with significant fluorescence properties, typically smaller than 10 nm in size. CDs possess advantages such as low toxicity, good water solubility, and environmental friendliness, showing promising applications in medical imaging, environmental monitoring, and chemical analysis. However, the optical properties of CDs are usually influenced not only by their composition, size, and morphology, but also by unreacted precursors or byproducts. Therefore, the purification process for CDs is essential.

[0003] Currently, the main purification methods for CDs include dialysis, column chromatography, and electrophoresis. Dialysis involves placing the CD solution in a dialysis bag, then immersing the bag in the desired solution. Utilizing the principle of diffusion pressure, the CDs are retained inside the dialysis bag, while salts and small molecules diffuse out. Column chromatography separates components based on the different adsorption forces of substances on silica gel. Electrophoresis separates particles based on their different charges or charge-to-mass ratios, achieving separation through varying migration distances. However, while dialysis is simple and energy-efficient, it is time-consuming and expensive. Column chromatography, while capable of separating and purifying CDs, has low separation efficiency and cannot be operated continuously. Electrophoresis, while highly efficient, is cumbersome. Therefore, new methods are needed to improve the purification efficiency of CDs.

[0004] In industrial circulating cooling water, the risk of scale formation clogging heat exchanger pipes is constantly increasing. Calcium and magnesium salts deposit on the surface of heat exchangers, leading to scale formation. Therefore, detecting the concentration of calcium and magnesium ions is of great significance for industrial production. Currently, the main techniques for detecting calcium and magnesium ions include complexometric titration, spectrophotometry, ion chromatography, and atomic absorption spectrometry. However, these methods usually require expensive equipment or cumbersome sample preparation, limiting their application in detection. Therefore, there is still a need to develop an economical, efficient, sensitive, and simple technique for detecting calcium and magnesium ions. Some researchers have applied calcium ions (CDs) to human cells to detect calcium and magnesium ions. 2+ or Mg 2+ However, there is very little research on the use of CDs for the detection of calcium and magnesium ions in water.

[0005] Addressing the shortcomings of existing CDs purification methods and the detection of Ca 2+ and Mg 2+Traditional methods for determining the content of Ca2+ involve high instrument costs, long detection times, or complex sample preparation. This article presents a method that is easy to purify and effective against Ca2+. 2+ and Mg 2+ There are corresponding methods for preparing carbon dots and their applications. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention proposes an easily purified Ca... 2+ and Mg 2+ Preparation and application of responsive carbon dots (CDs): The preparation and purification method of these CDs is rapid, efficient, simple, and easy to implement. The prepared CDs respond to Ca... 2+ and Mg 2+ Both exhibit fluorescence enhancement response and can be used for Ca in water. 2+ and Mg 2+ The detection.

[0007] The technical solution of this invention is implemented as follows:

[0008] A method for preparing fluorescent CDs using hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and palladium (Pd) as precursors includes the following steps: Powdered CTAB is placed in a sample vial, a small amount of ultrapure water is added, and the solution is dissolved by sonication and a water bath. Then, metallic Pd particles are added, and ultrapure water is added again to bring the total system volume to 15 mL. The solution is placed in a high-pressure reactor for high-temperature heating. After the reaction, the solution is cooled to room temperature, and Pd is removed by centrifugation. The solution is then placed at low temperature to allow CTAB to precipitate, which is recovered by centrifugation to obtain a pure CDs solution. The solution is freeze-dried to obtain CDs powder, which is stored at 4°C.

[0009] Furthermore, the mass ratio of CTAB to Pd nanoparticles is 150~225:0~9.

[0010] Preferably, the reaction concentration of CTAB is 0.01-0.015 g / mL, and the reaction concentration of Pb nanoparticles is 0-0.0006 g / mL.

[0011] Furthermore, the precursor solution is placed in a sample vial, and the container for the high-temperature heating reaction is a high-pressure reactor with a polytetrafluoroethylene liner.

[0012] Furthermore, the high-pressure heating reaction temperature is 160~200℃, and the reaction time is 2~3.5 h.

[0013] Furthermore, after centrifuging the CDs solution cooled to room temperature to remove Pd, it was placed at 4°C to allow CTAB to precipitate, followed by centrifugation. This refrigeration and centrifugation process was repeated 1-3 times.

[0014] The blue light emitting carbon dots prepared by the above method have a particle size distribution of about 3~10 nm, with an average particle size of about 6 nm; the surface functional groups include hydroxyl and amino groups; the optimal excitation wavelength is 330 nm and the optimal emission wavelength is 424 nm.

[0015] The carbon dots mentioned are in the metal ion Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ In the detection application, CDs are used as detection materials, and their fluorescence changes are used to detect Ca in aqueous solutions. 2+ and Mg 2+ Conduct testing.

[0016] Furthermore, a gradient of Ca was added to the CDs solution. 2+ and Mg 2+ The fluorescence intensity of the solution was measured using a fluorescence spectrometer, and the change in fluorescence intensity was plotted against Ca. 2+ and Mg 2+ Concentration-relative curve.

[0017] This application also seeks protection for the aforementioned Ca. 2+ and Mg 2+ Response-type carbon dots detect Ca during preparation 2+ and Mg 2+ Applications in reagents and / or instruments.

[0018] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. This invention uses hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as both carbon and nitrogen sources, and synthesizes easily purified Ca through a one-step hydrothermal method under the coexistence of palladium (Pd) particles. 2+ and Mg 2+ Responsive carbon dots (CDs). The presence of Pd particles in the precursor enhances the fluorescence intensity of these CDs. Since the precursor CTAB readily precipitates at low temperatures, unreacted CTAB can be removed and recovered by refrigeration at 4°C and centrifugation, with the recovered CTAB potentially reusable. This post-processing method is faster and more efficient than traditional dialysis and chromatography, providing a new approach for CD post-processing. Furthermore, these carbon dots respond to Ca... 2+ and Mg 2+ Both exhibit good responsiveness; the fluorescence intensity gradually increases with increasing concentration of each ion, enabling quantitative detection of these two ions. The present invention synthesizes a detectable Ca... 2+ and Mg 2+ The preparation process of CDs is simple and easy to purify, which not only provides a new method for the purification of CDs, but also broadens the application field of CDs and lays the foundation for their development.

[0020] 2. This invention provides a synthesis of CDs using CTAB as the main precursor and under conditions where metal Pd particles coexist. The coexistence of metal Pd particles effectively enhances the fluorescence intensity of the CDs. This CDs synthesis process and post-processing method are rapid, efficient, and easy to implement. Based on the measurement of fluorescence intensity after mixing different types of metal ion solutions with this CDs solution under the same conditions, it was found that Al... 3+ Ba 2+ Cu 2+ Cr 3+ Plasma has little effect on the fluorescence quenching or enhancement of CDs, but it does not significantly affect Ca. 2+ and Mg 2+ It is responsive. Therefore, the CDs are responsive to Ca. 2+ and Mg 2+ It offers a high degree of selectivity.

The blue light emitting CDs prepared by this invention not only have a positive effect on Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ There is a response, and the degree of response increases with Ca. 2+ and Mg 2+ The concentration increases and the effect is enhanced, which is beneficial for the detection of Ca in water by fluorescent CDs. 2+ and Mg 2+ This provides a new direction for the development of the field.
