Abstract

Most fluorescent probes based on carbon dots (CDs) fluorescence color or intensity change are still used for detection in solution, but in practical fluorescence detection applications, detection in the solid state is necessary. Therefore, a CDs-based fluorescence sensing device is designed in this paper, which can be used for water detection in liquid and solid states. Using oPD as a single precursor, yellow fluorescent CDs (y-CDs) were prepared by hydrothermal method, which can be used in the field of water detection and anti-counterfeiting by using its solvent-sensitive properties. First, y-CDs can be used to visually and intelligently detect the water content in ethanol. Secondly, it can be used to detect the Relative Humidity (RH) of the environment by combining it with cellulose to form a fluorescent film. Finally, y-CDs can also be used as a fluorescent material for fluorescence anti-counterfeiting.
