Fabrication of Nitrogen-doped Carbon Nanoparticles and Application in Detection of Free Chlorine / 分析化学

Nitrogen-doped carbon nanoparticles (N-CNPs) with a fluorescence quantum yield of 15.1％ were prepared from sucrose and urea in oleic acid medium by a one-pot solvothermal method.A new approach for quick,sensitive,and selective determination of free chlorine in water was developed based on fluorescence quenching of N-CNPs.There existed a good linear correlation between the fluorescence quenching and the concentration of ClO-in the range of 0.05-25.00 μmol/L.The limit of detection (LOD,S/N =3) was estimated to be 23 nmol/L.This method can be applied to the determination of free chlorine in real water samples.
