Abstract
Fe, Ni, and Cu doped ceria nanoparticles (CeNPs) were prepared with a simple and one-pot hydrothermal synthesis method. We investigated the chemiluminescence (CL) interaction between these NPs and rhodamine B (Rh B) and found that the highest CL intensity was related to the Rh B- Cu doped CeNPs. We assigned that to the higher catalytic property of Cu doped NPs compared to the others. Cu doped CeNPs have been applied for the first time as a catalyst in chemiluminescence reactions. Rh B- Cu doped CeNPs reaction was introduced as a novel CL system, and its mechanism was studied. Considering the sensitivity, simplicity, portability, and rapidness of the CL methods, we applied the introduced reaction to the development of a CL sensor for nitrite monitoring. In the presence of nitrite, the CL intensity of the system decreased, and there was a linear relationship between the CL intensity and nitrite concentration in the range 0.5-100 µM. Based on this fact, a sensitive and selective CL sensor with the detection limit of 0.2µM was established for nitrite detection in various food and water samples.
