The invention discloses an in-situ composite system based on a carbon quantum dot / manganese dioxide nanometer sheet layer and a using method of the in-situ composite system. The using method comprises the following steps: firstly, completely quenching fluorescence by using a manner that carbon quantum dots are adsorbed on a manganese dioxide nanometer sheet layer prepared by reducing potassium permanganate in situ, and then quantitatively analyzing and determining the content of the GSH in a GSH to-be-tested sample based on a principle of causing digestion of the manganese dioxide nanometer sheet layer, releasing the carbon quantum dots and recovering the fluorescence thereof by virtue of a redox reaction between glutathione (GSH) and manganese dioxide. According to the in-situ composite system, the detection method is high in precision, the repeatability is good, a used carbon material is low in price, easily available, and free from polluting the environment, and has relatively good biological safety; meanwhile, the in-situ composite system is simple and convenient to operate, relatively strong in practicability, high in sensitivity, and excellent in selectivity of the GSH.
