The invention relates to a detection technology of
copper ions, and in particular relates to a preparation method of a reduced carbon
quantum dot containing
calcium alginate gel for detecting
copper ions. The preparation method of the carbon
quantum dot containing
calcium alginate gel for detecting the
copper ions comprises the following steps of: preparing fluorescent
carbon quantum dots; neutralizing the fluorescent
carbon quantum dots, adding
sodium borohydride into the neutralized fluorescent
carbon quantum dots to perform reduction; mixing deionized water with the neutralized fluorescent carbon
quantum dots at equal volume, and adding
sodium alginate into the mixture to obtain a
sodium alginate
sol; and spraying a
calcium ion solution to the surface of the
sol or soaking the
sol into the calcium
ion solution to perform crosslinking, and
drying to obtain the
calcium alginate gel. By using the characteristics that the carbon quantum dots have fluorescent characteristics, the
fluorescence of the carbon quantum dots is enhanced after reduction, and the
calcium alginate can enhance the fluorescent characteristics of the carbon quantum dots, when the copper ions are detected, the cost of an adopted fluorospectro
photometer is low, the
sample preparation and treatment steps are simple and easy to operate, and the detection sensitivity is high, so that the
calcium alginate gel can be widely used for detecting the copper ions.
