Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Photoluminescent Carbon Dots for Sensitive and Selective Cu2+ Ion Detection(Institute of Physics, 2026-01-07) Sahin-Tiras, K.; Karabel Ocal, S.; Mutlugün, E.; Sahin Tiras, KevserGreen-emitting carbon dots (CDs) were synthesized via a solvent-free, vacuum-assisted method using citric acid and urea. The CDs exhibited strong photoluminescence and served as selective, sensitive probes for Cu2+ detection in water, with a detection limit of 26 nM. Among the tested metal ions, Cu2+ induced the most significant PL quenching. Time-resolved photoluminescence measurements of the CDs in the presence of Cu2+ ions revealed a minimal change in lifetime, despite a significant decrease in PL intensity, along with unchanged UV-vis absorption, indicating a mixed quenching mechanism. The sensor’s applicability was confirmed in raisin extract and tea infusion, showing notable PL suppression. With their simplicity, selectivity, and sensitivity, these CDs offer promising potential as nanosensors for detecting Cu2+ in environmental and real-world analytical settings. © 2026 The Author(s).

Xray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed the formation of carbon-based bonds as the main component of CDs, with reliable amounts of O, S, and N as dopant components. These features, along with single-exponential time-decay profile at long average lifetime of 10.05 ns, supported the significant role of uniformly distributed mid-gap energy levels in the recombination process. The simplicity, low-cost, non-toxicity, and short reaction time of CDs, along with their excellent emission properties in the deep-blue region, make them suitable for use in environmental monitoring and high-contrast bioimaging.
