Abstract
A rapid and sensitive ratiometric fluorescence nanosensor for the detection of norfloxacin was obtained, where the yellow-emitting CdTe quantum dots (QDs) were as an internal reference and aluminium ion (Al³⁺) chelated on the QDs surface as the sensing unit. The nanosensor was characterized by transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. As the concentration of norfloxacin increased, the sensor exhibited a continuous fluorescence color transition from yellow to blue. The CdTe-Al³⁺ QDs sensor demonstrated a low limit of detection of 6.6 nM. The ratiometric fluorescence sensor was also integrated with a smartphone color recognizer for visual and quantitative detection of norfloxacin with a limit of detection of 1.57 µM. This sensing platform exhibits excellent sensitivity, selectivity, and anti-interference performance, and it has great potential for on-site and quantitative analysis.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Fluorescence is an international forum for the publication of peer-reviewed original articles that advance the practice of this established spectroscopic technique. Topics covered include advances in theory/and or data analysis, studies of the photophysics of aromatic molecules, solvent, and environmental effects, development of stationary or time-resolved measurements, advances in fluorescence microscopy, imaging, photobleaching/recovery measurements, and/or phosphorescence for studies of cell biology, chemical biology and the advanced uses of fluorescence in flow cytometry/analysis, immunology, high throughput screening/drug discovery, DNA sequencing/arrays, genomics and proteomics. Typical applications might include studies of macromolecular dynamics and conformation, intracellular chemistry, and gene expression. The journal also publishes papers that describe the synthesis and characterization of new fluorophores, particularly those displaying unique sensitivities and/or optical properties. In addition to original articles, the Journal also publishes reviews, rapid communications, short communications, letters to the editor, topical news articles, and technical and design notes.
