We designed a fluorescent probe, poly(allylamine) hydrochloride (PAH) functionalized copper nanocluster (Cu NC@PAH), for the selective detection of sulfide (S2-) ions in water. The probe showed a significant enhancement in photoluminescence (PL) intensity and quantum yield (QY) after functionalizing with the cationic polymer PAH. The probe also exhibited excellent selectivity and a reasonable quenching response for S2- ions, with a detection limit of 2.39 μM.
The sensitive and selective detection of sulfide (S2-) ions in water is of major interest due to its toxicity and physiological effects on organisms. Herein, we have designed a fluorescent probe, poly(allylamine) hydrochloride (PAH) functionalized copper nanocluster (Cu NC@PAH), for the detection of S2- ions. The synthesis of the probe is based on the electrostatic interaction between negatively charged Cu NCs and the positively charged polymer, PAH. The drastic enhancement of the photoluminescence (PL) intensity of Cu NCs and the quantum yield (QY) enhancement from 0.3 to 6% are evident after functionalizing with a cationic polymer matrix of PAH. The steady-state and time resolved fluorescence studies support the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) phenomenon for PL QY enhancement. In addition, the Cu NCs@PAH exhibit excellent selectivity toward aqueous S2- ions. The probe displays a reasonable quenching response for S2- ions over a concentration range of 0-20 mu M with a detection limit of 2.39 mu M. We believe that this facile and economical synthesis methodology of Cu NCs@PAH with interesting AIE properties will extend the scope of previously available techniques for the detection of the S2- ion.
