Abstract

In the current study, the fluorescent Carbon quantum dots (CDs) were synthesized through one-step hydrothermal approach by orange juice without any additional agents. The as-prepared green-CDs (GCDs) were quasi-spherical shape ranged from 2 to 8 nm with an average diameter of 5 nm, and emitted bright blue fluorescent (FL) under ultraviolet light irradiation (Uv). Different detailed analyses proved that the as-prepared GCDs had good morphologies, various functional groups, high water solubility, great optical features, and excellent stability towards diverse environmental conditions. The results indicated that the as-prepared GCDs can detect different concentrations of dopamine from 1 to 100 µM based on the quenching of their native fluorescent. Furthermore, the good linear relationship was obtained for dopamine in the broad range of concentrations from 1 to 100 µM with the limit of detection (LOD) of 0.81 µM. In addition, the as-prepared GCDs can be applied as a fluorescent probe for detection of dopamine in the different real samples.
