Description

Technical Field

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of urbanization and industrialization, especially in some developing countries, textile wastewater pollution has become a serious environmental and public health issue, posing a major threat to human health and the environment. The dye industry is one of my country's traditional advantageous industries, but most of these dyes are toxic to organisms and have adverse effects on aquatic life.

[0003] Methylene blue (MLB) is a cationic dye that is soluble in water. However, its presence can negatively impact aquatic life, including blocking sunlight from penetrating the water, causing gastrointestinal irritation, and even causing eye burns, increased heart rate, difficulty breathing, confusion, nausea, vomiting, and even carcinogenicity after ingestion. Therefore, effective detection of these dyes in water is crucial. Common methods for dye detection include colorimetry, UV spectrophotometry, liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, simultaneous voltammetry, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering. However, these methods suffer from relatively low sensitivity. Therefore, developing a simple, rapid, selective, and accurate method for dye detection is crucial. Among these methods, fluorescence sensing, due to its rapid response and high sensitivity, has become a powerful technique for detecting trace amounts of neutral and ionic (bio)molecules, as well as inorganic ions.

[0004] In recent years, graphene quantum dots (GQDs), a new type of luminescent nanomaterial, comprise graphene-derived substances with diameters less than 20 nm, have shown great potential in dye detection due to their excellent chemical stability, solubility, and cost-effectiveness.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] This embodiment provides a method for preparing graphene quantum dots, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0036] a: Dissolve 0.59 g of 1-amino-2-naphthol-4-sulfonic acid and 5 mL of acrylic acid in 50 mL of deionized water, shaken by ultrasound, and mixed thoroughly to obtain a mixed solution;

[0037] b: The mixed solution was transferred to a 100 mL polytetrafluoroethylene stainless steel reactor and subjected to hydrothermal reaction under closed conditions at a temperature of 180°C and a reaction time of 12 h;

[0038] c) After the reaction is completed, the mixture is cooled to room temperature and filtered through a 220 nm microporous membrane to obtain the reaction solution;

[0039] d: The reaction solution was placed in a dialysis bag for dialysis. The dialysis bag was dialyzed with ultrapure water for 48 h until the ultrapure water became clear. The solution in the dialysis bag was the y-GQDs solution.

[0040] The structure of the y-GQDs prepared in this example was characterized: Figure 1 AFM image (a) and height distribution diagram (b) of y-GQDs prepared in this example. The average thickness of y-GQDs is 3.54 nm, indicating that it is composed of multilayer graphene. Figure 2 The TEM image (a), high-resolution TEM image (b) (the inset is the fast Fourier transform mode), and size distribution diagram (c) of the y-GQDs prepared in this example show that the y-GQDs are evenly dispersed, with an average particle size of 2.4 nm. The high-resolution TEM image (b) clearly shows the crystal morphology of the y-GQDs and reveals a single crystal structure with a lattice spacing of 0.24 nm. The Fourier transform diagram shows that the regular hexagonal symmetry points in the diagram are similar to the benzene ring lattice structure of graphene. y-GQDs have a good single crystal structure and good lattice symmetry. This may be due to the effect of acrylic acid regulation, which gives them a better morphology.

[0041] Figure 3 This is the total X-ray photoelectron energy spectrum of y-GQDs prepared in this example. It can be seen from the figure that y-GQDs has four peaks, indicating that it contains four elements: C, N, O, and S.

[0042] Figure 4 The C1s, N1s, O1s and S2p spectra of y-GQDs prepared in this example illustrate that the surface of y-GQDs contains functional groups such as -NH2, -OH, and -COOH. The presence of these functional groups is the reason for their good dispersibility / water solubility.

[0043] Figure 5 This is the Fourier transform infrared spectrum of y-GQDs prepared in this example, at 3500-3300 cm −1 The peak at 2997 cm is the OH / NH stretching vibration peak; the CH stretching vibration at 2997 cm -1 The high-intensity peak at 1710 cm is attributed to the asymmetric stretching vibration of the carboxylate anion;−1 The characteristic peaks of the -CO group are attributed to the -CO group; at 1700 cm -1 The peaks near 1450 cm are attributed to C=O bonds; -1 The peak at 1403 cm corresponds to the CN stretching vibration, which indicates the presence of N elements on the surface of y-GQDs; -1 The absorption peaks at 1250 and 1180 cm correspond to the bending vibration absorption characteristic bands of CN; −1 The peaks at 1050 cm-1 reveal the presence of -COO and C-OH functional groups, respectively. −1 The peak at 840 cm corresponds to the stretching vibration absorption peak of SO; −1 At 650 cm −1 The peak at is the SC stretching vibration absorption peak. The above functional groups indicate that the surface of y-GQDs has many amino and hydroxyl groups, indicating that it has good hydrophilicity.

[0044] Figure 6 From the XRD pattern of the y-GQDs prepared in this example, it can be seen that there is an obvious diffraction peak at about 22.5° 2θ, and the interlayer spacing is 3.93Å.

[0045] Figure 7 The Raman spectrum of y-GQDs prepared in this example shows the typical disordered sp 3 The D peak of the hybrid carbon structure (1383 cm -1 ) and ordered sp 2 The G peak of graphitic carbon structure (1500 cm -1 ).

[0046] Figure 8 The UV absorption spectrum (ABS), photoexcitation spectrum (PLE) and photoluminescence spectrum (PL) of the y-GQDs prepared in this example show that the maximum excitation wavelength of the obtained y-GQDs is 370 nm, and the optimal emission wavelength of the fluorescence intensity is 500 nm.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] The y-GQDs prepared in Example 1 were used to detect methylene blue dye, and the linear relationship between fluorescence intensity and different concentrations of methylene blue dye was tested, specifically comprising the following steps:

[0049] a: 500 μL of y-GQDs solution was mixed with 500 μL of different dye solutions, and fluorescence tests were performed respectively to obtain a comparison chart of the fluorescence intensity of the y-GQDs solution after adding different dyes. The different dyes include methyl orange (MO), methyl blue (MB), methylene blue (MLB), malachite green (MG), rhodamine B (RB), rhodamine 6G (R6G), azure B dye (Azure B), cationic brilliant red 4G (ABR4G), etc.

[0050] b: 500 μL of y-GQDs solution was mixed with 500 μL of methylene blue dye at different concentrations. The volume was fixed to the concentrations of 0 μM, 0.2 μM, 0.4 μM, 0.6 μM, 0.8 μM, 1 μM, 1.5 μM, and 2 μM. Fluorescence measurements were performed on the different mixed solutions, and the fluorescence spectra at the maximum fluorescence intensity of the methylene blue dye at different concentrations were plotted.

[0051] c: According to the maximum fluorescence intensity value of each fluorescence spectrum in step b, the normalized maximum intensity is used as the vertical axis and the concentration of methylene blue dye is used as the horizontal axis to obtain a linear relationship diagram between the fluorescence intensity of y-GQDs and different concentrations of methylene blue dye;

[0052] The fluorescence intensity in step (1) was substituted into the normalized curve to estimate the concentration of methylene blue dye in the mixed solution, with a deviation of ±0.01 mol / ml from the actual concentration.

[0053] Figure 9 a is a comparison chart of the fluorescence intensity of the y-GQDs solution after adding different dyes to the y-GQDs prepared in an embodiment of the present invention. It can be seen from the figure that the fluorescence intensity of y-GQDs is significantly reduced after adding methylene blue dye, and the fluorescence quenching phenomenon is obvious. However, when other dyes are added, there is no obvious fluorescence quenching phenomenon. Figure 9 b is a graph showing the fluorescence intensity of y-GQDs prepared in an embodiment of the present invention as the concentration of methylene blue dye changes. Figure 9 c is a linear relationship diagram of the normalized fluorescence intensity of the y-GQDs solution prepared in an embodiment of the present invention and the concentration of methylene blue dye. The linear regression equation is y=3323.23963-501.01717x, where x is the concentration of methylene blue dye in μmol / L, the concentration range of x is 0-2 μmol / L, and y is the fluorescence intensity in au; the correlation coefficient R 2The y-GQDs prepared in this paper have a high selectivity and sensitivity for methylene blue, enabling rapid and convenient detection of methylene blue. This also demonstrates that y-GQDs fluorescent probes have promising applications in biological and environmental testing.
