[0026] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described below. It should be noted that these descriptions are for the purpose of aiding understanding the present invention, but do not constitute a limitation thereof. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0027] Unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods used in the following embodiments are conventional methods, and the experimental materials used in the following embodiments are all available through conventional commercial channels.
[0028] Example 1: Preparation of mother liquor of yam doped with histidine carbon quantum dots Grind an appropriate amount of yam into powder using a grinder. Weigh 1.2g of the ground yam powder and pour it into a 250mL beaker. Add 20mL of distilled water and 0.4g of histidine. Add a stir bar and place the beaker in a mixer. Stir for 30 minutes. Remove the stir bar and place the solution in a microwave oven. Heat for 8 minutes (microwave oven parameters: rated voltage and frequency: 220V~50Hz, rated input power: 1180W (microwave), 850W (light wave grilling), microwave output power: 700W). After heating stops, remove the yellow carbon quantum dot solution and pour it into two 100mL centrifuge tubes. Place the tubes in a centrifuge and centrifuge at 12000r / min for 10 minutes. After centrifugation, filter the supernatant using a 0.22µm filter membrane and inject it into a 15mL centrifuge tube. The dispersion obtained through the above steps is the yam-mixed histidine fluorescent carbon quantum dot (F-CDs) mother liquor, which should be stored away from light.
[0029] TEM images of F-CDs mother liquor and particle size distribution of F-CDs are shown below. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, F-CDs have uniform size and good dispersion, with an average particle size of about 2.47 nm.
[0030] The elemental composition of F-CDs was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and the experimental results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown in the XPS image, fluorescent carbon quantum dots with an O1s peak appear at 530.74 eV, fluorescent carbon quantum dots with an N1s peak appear at 399.58 eV, and fluorescent carbon quantum dots with a C1s peak appear at 284.55 eV. This indicates that the surface of this material contains three elements: C, N, and O, with mass fractions of 61.77%, 17.07%, and 21.16%, respectively.
[0031] The chemical bonds of F-CDs were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, such as... Figure 3 As shown. Infrared spectroscopy analysis indicates that this compound is at 2023 cm⁻¹. -1A strong absorption peak appears at 652 and 683 cm⁻¹, attributed to the stretching vibration of the nitrile group (-C≡N); -1 The strong absorption peak at 833 and 776 cm⁻¹ corresponds to the stretching vibration of the C-Cl bond; simultaneously, the absorption peaks at 833 and 776 cm⁻¹ correspond to the stretching vibration of the C-Cl bond; -1 The absorption peak at [value missing] indicates the presence of a para-disubstituted benzene ring in the molecule. Furthermore, the absorption peak at 1060-1111 cm⁻¹... -1 The absorption in the region suggests the possible presence of a COC ether bond structure.
[0032] Test Example 1: Effect of the mass ratio of histidine to yam powder on the fluorescence intensity of carbon quantum dots The mass ratio of histidine to yam powder in Example 1 was changed from 1:3 to 0, 1 / 12, 2 / 12, 3 / 12, 5 / 12, 6 / 12, 7 / 12, 8 / 12, 9 / 12, 10 / 12, 11 / 12, and 12 / 12, while other aspects remained the same as in Example 1. The fluorescence intensity of the F-CDs mother liquor prepared with different histidine to yam powder mass ratios was tested at an excitation wavelength of 406 nm. The results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the fluorescence intensity of carbon quantum dots from yam without histidine doping is significantly reduced. The maximum fluorescence intensity can be obtained when the mass ratio of histidine to yam powder is controlled at 1:3.
[0033] Test Example 2: Effect of different microwave heating times on the fluorescence intensity of carbon quantum dots The microwave heating time in Example 1 was changed from 8 min to 6 min, 7 min, 9 min, and 10 min, respectively, while the rest remained the same as in Example 1. The fluorescence intensity of the F-CDs mother liquor prepared with different microwave heating times was tested at an excitation wavelength of 406 nm. The results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the F-CDs mother liquor prepared by microwave heating time of 8-10 min has a higher fluorescence intensity, and the differences among the three are not significant. Considering all factors, 8 min is the optimal microwave heating time.
[0034] Test Example 3: Effect of different excitation wavelengths on the fluorescence intensity of carbon quantum dots The fluorescence intensity of the F-CDs mother liquor prepared in Example 1 was measured at excitation wavelengths of 390 nm, 394 nm, 398 nm, 402 nm, 406 nm, and 410 nm, respectively. The results are as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the fluorescence intensity of the F-CDs mother liquor is the highest at an excitation wavelength of 406 nm. Therefore, the optimal excitation wavelength is 406 nm.
[0035] Test Example 4: Selectivity Test Solutions of ZnCl2, NiCl, KCl, NaCl, HgCl2, CaCl2, CdCl2, CoCl2, CuCl2, FeCl3, VCl2, and CrCl2 with concentrations of 0.1 mol / L were prepared as interfering agents. First, 3 mL of the F-CDs stock solution prepared in Example 1 was added to a fluorescent cuvette, and the emission spectrum and fluorescence intensity of the blank sample were measured using an excitation wavelength of 406 nm. Then, 30 μL of each of the above solutions were added to a fluorescent cuvette containing 3 mL of F-CDs stock solution, mixed thoroughly for 2 min, and then fluorescence detection was performed. The fluorescence intensity of the F-CDs stock solution with added interfering agents was compared with the fluorescence intensity of the corresponding blank F-CDs stock solution, and the results are shown below. Figure 7 As shown, according to Figure 7 Analysis, Fe 3+ Co 2+ The quenching effect of F-CDs on the fluorescence intensity is very good, while the quenching effect of other interfering substances is not obvious or even enhances fluorescence. Therefore, it can be concluded that F-CDs have a good quenching effect on the fluorescence intensity of Fe. 3 + Co 2+ It offers a good selection.
[0036] Test Example 5: Detection of Co in F-CDs Mother Liquor 2+ To achieve Co 2+ Quantitative detection of Co, establishing a rapid detection method 2+ The method was used to determine 1×10 -6 ~ 9×10 -6 Within a concentration range of mol / L, different concentration gradients of Co were added to the F-CDs mother liquor. 2+ Co 2+ After 2 min of treatment with the F-CDs mother liquor, the fluorescence intensity changed as follows: Figure 8 As shown, the fluorescence intensity of the F-CDs mother liquor increases with Co 2+ The concentration gradually decreases as it increases. The curve fitted to the value is as follows: Figure 9 As shown, Co 2+ Concentration at 1×10 -6 ~ 9×10 -6 Within the range of mol / L, the fluorescence intensity of histidine carbon quantum dots doped in yam increased with Co. 2+ The fluorescence intensity decreased with increasing concentration, showing an overall downward trend. The fluorescence intensity ratio of yam-doped histidine carbon quantum dots was related to that of Co. 2+ The concentrations showed a good linear correlation. Co 2+ Concentration at 1×10 -6 ~ 9×10 -6The linear equation within the mol / L concentration range is y = -5060.341x + 2293221.04, R0 2 =0.9911.
