论文简介    Cadmium-caused environmental pollution and diseases have always been worldwide problems. Thus it is ex- tremely urgent to establish a cheap, rapid, simple and selective detection method for trace cadmium in drinking water. In this study, a fluorescence “turn-on” method based on ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA)-etched CdTe@CdS quantum dots (QDs) was designed to detect Cd 2+ . High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and X-rayphotoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)wereutilizedfor chemicaland structuralcharacterization of the as-prepared QDs. Based on chemical etching of EDTA on the surface of CdTe@CdS QDs, specific Cd 2+ rec- ognitionsiteswereproduced,andthenresultsinfluorescencequenching.TheintroductionofCd 2+ couldidentify these sites and restore the fluorescence of the EDTA-QDs system. Under the optimum conditions, the nanoprobe shows a linear response range from 0.05 to 9 μM with a very low detection limit of 0.032 μM. In addition, the re- portedfluorescenceprobeinthis workdisplaysa goodselectivity fortraceCd 2+ over other metalionsandanad- mirable practicability in real water samples. © 2018 Elsevier B.V.
