Abstract

Abstract:

In this study， water-soluble carbon dots （CDs） that emit strong green fluorescence under the radiation of ultraviolet light was synthesized by one-step solvothermal method and characterized by transmission electron microscopy （TEM）， ultraviolet-visible （UV-Vis） absorption spectrometry， fluorescence spectrometry and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry （FT-IR）. Specially， this CDs could enhance the chemiluminescence （CL） of H₂O₂-KOH-CO₂ gas-liquid CL system. Based on this phenomenon， a CL method for on-line detecting carbon dioxide was developed by using home-made gas-liquid CL detector. In order to find the optimum detection conditions， the concentrations of H₂O₂， KOH and CDs was studied. As a result， the maximum CL is obtained when the concentrations of H₂O₂ and KOH are 0.15 mol/L and 0.40 mol/L， respectively， and the volume ratio of CDs to KOH is 1∶2. Under these optimum detection conditions， there is a good linear relationship between CL intensity and carbon dioxide level in the range of 0.196~49 mg/L， and the limit of detection is 0.049 mg/L. The reproducibility is tested by measuring 1.96 and 4.56 mg/L carbon dioxide eleven times， and the relative standard deviations （RSD） are 1.46% and 0.65%， respectively. A CL method for detecting carbon dioxide has been successfully developed with high sensitivity， high selectivity， low cost and strong timeliness.
