Abstract

CdTe quantum dots (QDs) were modified with thioglycolic acid (TGA) and synthesized in aqueous medium. The optimum fluorescence intensity was found to be at pH 6.24 with a CdTe QDs concentration of 4.96 × 10−7 mol L−1. The quenched fluorescence intensity of CdTe QDs is linearly proportional to V(V) concentration from 10 to 200 ng mL−1 with correlation coefficient R = 0.9985. The limit of detection for V(V) was 2.07 ng mL−1. The proposed method was successfully applied to the analysis of trace amounts of V(V) in water samples with recovery of 96.5–101.8%, and the results were in good agreement with those of electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry.

Fluorescence spectra of CdTe-V(V) system at different CV(V): a, 0 μg/mL; b, 0.01 μg/mL; c, 0.03 μg/mL; d,0.05 μg/mL; e, 0.1 μg/mL
