摘要
Techniques for detecting glucose are developing at a breathtaking speed because diabetes mellitus can cause many serious complications, such as blindness, high blood pressure heart disease and kidney failure. Herein, water soluble NaYF4:Eu3+@Ag core-shell nanocrystals for glucose detection with lower detection limit have been successfully developed, using NaYF4:Eu3+ cores as the energy donors and Ag shells as the efficient quenchers through energy transfer. After immobilization of glucose oxidase (GOx) on the surface of NaYF4:Eu3+@Ag core-shell nanocrystals, the Ag shells can be decomposed in the presence of glucose, accompanied by down-shifting luminescence recovery. The limit of detection of NaYF4:Eu3+@Ag was 0.12 mu mol L-1. Therefore, the NaYF4:Eu3+@Ag can be easily extended to the detection of a variety of H2O2-involved analytes.
