Abstract
- Polydopamine fluorescent organic nanomaterials present unique physicochemical and biological properties, which have great potential application in bio-imaging and chemical sensors. Here, folic acid (FA) adjustive polydopamine (PDA) fluorescent organic nanoparticles (FA-PDA FONs) were prepared by a facile one-pot self-polymerization strategy using dopamine (DA) and FA as precursors under mild conditions. The as-prepared FA-PDA FONs had an average size of 1.9 ± 0.3 nm in diameter with great aqueous dispersibility, and the FA-PDA FONs solution exhibit intense blue fluorescence under 365 nm UV lamp, and the quantum yield is ~8.27%. The FA-PDA FONs could be stable in a relatively wide pH range and high ionic strength salt solution, and the fluorescence intensities are constant. More importantly, here we developed a method for rapidly selective and sensitive detection of mercury ions (Hg<superscript>2+</superscript>) within 10 s using FA-PDA FONs based probe, the fluorescence intensities of FA-PDA FONs presented a great linear relationship to Hg<superscript>2+</superscript> concentration, the linear range and limit of detection (LOD) were 0–18 µM and 0.18 µM, respectively. Furthermore, the feasibility of the developed Hg<superscript>2+</superscript> sensor was verified by determination of Hg<superscript>2+</superscript> in mineral water and tap water samples with satisfactory results.
