Abstract

Abstract:

A high quality PVA/CdS QDs nanocomposites modified by thiol-functionalized polyvinylalcohol(PVA) was prepared by aqueous synthetic approaches at low temperature. The samples were characterized by infrared spectroscopy(IR), X-ray diffraction(XRD), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), thermogravimetric analysis(TG), photoluminescence spectroscopy(PL) and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy(UV-Vis). The results show that CdS QDs in the nanocomposites are spherical particles with a cubic crystal structure and a diameter size of about 5 nm. PVA/CdS nanocomposites have good stability, high dispersibility and excellent luminescence properties. Meanwhile, the fluorescent responses of as-prepared PVA/CdS to different metal ions were studied. Based on the fluorescence quenching behavior of PVA/CdS quantum dots, we established a method for the fluorescent detection of Cu²⁺. When the concentration of Cu²⁺ is in the range of 1~1000 nmol/L, the fluorescence intensity linearly decreases with the increase of Cu²⁺ concentration. The linear correlation coefficient is 0.9923 and the detection limit reaches 0.12 nmol/L. The method provides high sensitivity, simplicity of operation and low detection limit, and is successfully applied to the determination of trace copper in the Yellow River samples.

Key words: CdS quantum dots, polyvinylalcohol, nanocomposites, fluorescence sensing, Cu²⁺
