摘要
The authors describe the synthesis of a multifunctional nanocomposite with an architecture of type Fe3O4@SiO2@graphene quantum dots with an average diameter of about 22 nm. The graphene quantum dots (GQDs) were covalently immobilized on the surface of silica-coated magnetite nanospheres via covalent linkage to surface amino groups. The nanocomposite displays a strong fluorescence (with excitation/emission peaks at 330/420 nm) that is fairly selectively quenched by Hg2+ ions, presumably due to nonradiative electron/hole recombination annihilation. Under the optimized experimental conditions, the linear response to Hg2+ covers the 0.1 to 70 mu M concentration range, with a 30 nM lower detection limit. The high specific surface area and abundant binding sites of the GQDs result in a good adsorption capacity for Hg2+ (68 mgai...g(-1)). The material, due to its superparamagnetism, can be separated by using a magnet and also is recyclable with EDTA so that it can be repeatedly used for simultaneous detection and removal of Hg2+ from contaminated water.
