Abstract

A water-soluble fluorescent carbon dots (FCDs) from cellulose was prepared using one-pot simple hydrothermal method. In this work, a novel fluorescent probe material, fluorescent carbon dots-linked isophorone diisocyanate and β-cyclodextrin (FCDs-IPDI-CD), was prepared with FCDs, isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) as raw materials. The structure and morphology of FCDs-IPDI-CD were characterized using the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The as-prepared FCDs-IPDI-CD exhibits excellent emission property and high stability. The fluorescence of the FCDs-IPDI-CD could be quenched by Cr(VI) ions, and the results indicate that FCDs-IPDI-CD can be used as an effective fluorescent probe for the detection of Cr(VI) ions with good selectivity and sensitivity in an aqueous solution. The influences of environment factors (such as pH, reaction time) on relative fluorescence intensity were studied. According to the optimum conditions, a new sensitive method detecting Cr(VI) ions was established. The method has been successfully applied to detect Cr(VI) ions in water and soil samples with satisfactory results.

Chromium Bohr ModelThe number of electrons in each of Chromium's shells is 2, 8, 13, 1 and its electron configuration is [Ar] 3d5 4s1. Louis Nicolas Vauquelin first discovered chromium in 1797 and first isolated it the following year. The chromium atom has a radius of 128 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 189 pm. In its elemental form, chromium has a lustrous steel-gray appearance. Elemental ChromiumChromium is the hardest metallic element in the periodic table and the only element that exhibits antiferromagnetic ordering at room temperature, above which it transforms into a paramagnetic solid. The most common source of chromium is chromite ore (FeCr2O4). Due to its various colorful compounds, Chromium was named after the Greek word 'chroma.' meaning color.
