Abstract
ABSTRACT A sensitive and simple method for the determination of luteolin (LTL) was developed based on the fluorescence quenching effect of LTL for thioglycolic acid–capped (TGA-capped) CdTe/CdS quantum dots (QDs). Under optimum conditions, a good linear relationship was obtained from 0.3 to 20.0 µg · mL−1 with a correlation coefficient of 0.9972, and the detection limit was 7.2 ng · mL−1. The fluorescence quenching mechanism has been proposed on the basis of electron transfer supported by ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption, fluorescence (FL) spectroscopy. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of LTL in commercial capsules and human urine samples. It manifested several advantages such as high sensitivity, short analysis time, low cost, and ease of operation.
