ABSTRACT
A novel ionophore-based fluorescent nanosensor has been successfully fabricated for the sensitive and selective detection of Cu2+ ions. The nanosensor was constructed through self-assembly of amphiphilic block copolymers, incorporating elesclomol as a Cu2+ ionophore and long-chain dialkylcarbocyanines (DiD) as a fluorescent dye. This design exhibits an "ON/OFF" fluorescence response, where Cu2⺠ions are selectively sequestered within the nanosensors, resulting in fluorescence quenching of DiD. This strategy enables rapid and highly selective Cu2⺠sensing with remarkable fluorescence quenching efficiency (up to 93.5 %) and an exceptionally low detection limit of 28.6 nM. The linear detection range extends over two orders of magnitude (0.05-10 µM). Furthermore, the feasibility of this nanosensor for practical applications was confirmed through successful determination of Cu2+ in real water and beer samples, with excellent recovery rates. This nanosensor offers advantages of simplicity, rapidity, and cost-effectiveness, holding significant potential for sensitive and selective Cu2+ detection in various biological and environmental samples.
