摘要:
Highly Exfoliated Graphitic Carbon dot (HEG carbon dot) is reported herein, exploiting commercially available table sugar (sucrose) as a green precursor. An amorphous carbon matrix, made of 7-8 graphenic units constitutes the HEG carbon dot core. This system exhibits excitation energy transfer with the Xanthene dye, Rhodamine-B, which is expressed as a noticeable enhancement in the luminescence of the dye. Metal ion assisted hindrance in FRET is noticed in presence of Hg (II) ion, which paves way to the fabrication of an efficient Hg (II) ion sensing tool. The system exhibits high selectivity and sensitivity with Limit of Detection 98 pM.
