Ultra-weak chemiluminescence (CL) from the reaction of iodide and KMnO was strongly enhanced by carbon nanodots (CNDs) in an acidic medium. The CL intensity was directly proportional to the concentration of iodide in the solution. Therefore, a flow-injection CL system with high sensitivity, selectivity and reproducibility is proposed for the determination of iodide. The proposed method exhibited advantages over a linear range of 3.0 × 10 -1.0 × 10 mol/L and had a detection limit of 3.5 × 10 mol/L. The method was successfully applied to the evaluation of iodide in food samples with recoveries of between 96 and 103%. The relative standard deviations were 2.1 and 4.1% for intra- and inter-assay precision, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
