Abstract
A novel method for turn-off sensing 1,1-diamino-2,2-dinitroethylene (FOX-7) in aqueous medium was first proposed based on the inner filter effect (IFE) of FOX-7 on the fluorescence of molybdenum disulfide quantum dots (MoS2 QDs). Water-soluble MoS2 QDs as the fluorophore were prepared by the simple hydrothermal method. The morphology, structure, composition and optical properties of the prepared MoS2 QDs were characterized by Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV-vis absorption and photoluminescence spectra. The results showed that the MoS2 QDs had good water dispersibility and emitted strong photoluminescence with a particle size of 2nm. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the fluorescence signal of MoS2 QDs was quenched in the concentrations range of FOX-7 (0.5-100μM) and the limit of detection (LOD) of the sensor was 0.19μM. The method had been applied to analyze the real water samples with good selectivity and stability. Moreover, the quenching mechanism was studied systematically by the Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), UV-vis absorption spectra, fluorescence lifetime, and Stern-Volmer equation, which had been proved to be static quenching. The fluorescence quenching mechanism is mainly IFE and electron transfer.
