Abstract

β-cyclodextrin-hydroxyquinoline functionalized graphene oxide (GO-CD-HQ) was facilely fabricated to monitor and quantitatively analyze cations in aqueous media. The optical probe was notably selective enhanced toward Pb2+ ions over the other tested ions like Cu2+, Hg2+, Ca2+, Na+, K+, Zn2+, Fe2+, Fe3+, Ag+, Mg2+, and Cd2+ at 468 nm as an emission wavelength. The probe was shown the best performance in pH value, 5, and optimum time 1 min. Absorption spectra have clearly confirmed the static type fluorescence enhancement mechanism of GO-CD-HQ. Under the optimal conditions, the detection limit of it and linear concentration range for Pb2+ ions were obtained as 3.72 × 10–5 M and (5–60) × 10–5 M, respectively. Additionally, the developed assay exhibited logic gate behavior with Pb2+ ions and vitamin C as a masking agent for cited ions.
