Abstract:The BNQDs are synthesized by simple one-step hydrothermal method, using amino acids as nitrogen source and boric acid as boron source. The BNQDs prepared by different amino acids emit strong blue fluorescence with the excitation wavelength from 280 to 400 nm. An "on-off-on" BNQDs fluorescent sensor is designed to detect ascorbic acid with Fe 3 + as medium, extending the application in sensing. The fluorescence of BNQDs is quenched by Fe 3 + on basis of the inner filter effect.With increasing of ascorbic acid, … Show more
“…Though the total concentration of both ions can be determined regardless of the oxidation states, detecting individual ions from the mixture is still challenging using this procedure. A similar study for Fe 3+ detection was reported by Kong et al [80].…”

“…These BNQDs have an average size of 4 nm and were made by using boric acid and ammonium hydroxide as starting materials. Besides, Kong et al [80] have reported on the hydrothermal synthesis of BNQDs using amino acids (tryptophan) as a nitrogen source and boric acid as a boron source. As compared to other nitrogen precursors, amino acids are high in nitrogen content, good in biocompatibility, and low in price.…”

“…Further, they carried out the interference effects in the presence of uric acid, dopamine, and glucose which did not respond to the Plu/BNQDs/GCE sensors, indicating good selectivity of the sensor for AA. In another study, Kong et al [80] reported a fluorescent "on-off-on" sensor to detect AA with Fe 3+ as a medium. The fluorescence of BNQDs was quenched due to the inner filter effect between Fe 3+ and BNQDs.…”
Boron nitride quantum dots (BNQDs) have gained increasing attention for their versatile fluorescent, optoelectronic, chemical, and biochemical properties. During the past few years, significant progress has been demonstrated, started from theoretical modeling to actual application. Many interesting properties and applications have been reported, such as excitation-dependent emission (and, in some cases, non-excitation dependent), chemical functionalization, bioimaging, phototherapy, photocatalysis, chemical, and biological sensing. An overview of this early-stage research development of BNQDs is presented in this article. We have prepared un-bias assessments on various synthesis methods, property analysis, and applications of BNQDs here, and provided our perspective on the development of these emerging nanomaterials for years to come.

“…34 The broad absorption bands at 3459−3200 cm −1 were ascribed to the stretching of O−H and N−H. 35 The peak at 1638 cm −1 was assigned to the C−(BN) vibration, which may be induced by the interactions between C atoms and B or N atoms. 26 Furthermore, the characteristic peaks at 1150−850 and 650 cm −1 corresponded to N−B−O and O−B−O bonds, respectively, which demonstrated the oxygen-containing functional groups attached to the surface of BNQDs.…”
On account of the excessive residues and serious detriments, it is imminent to develop an efficient method to determine tetracyclines (TCs) for protecting human health. In this work, a novel ratiometric fluorescence sensor was constructed for TCs based on a powerful boron nitride quantum dot and europium ion (BNQD-Eu 3+ ) system. The blue-emitting BNQDs were synthesized via a facile hydrothermal route using boric acid and urea as precursors. When TCs were presented in the hybrid probe of BNQDs and Eu 3+ , blue fluorescence of BNQDs was quenched and red fluorescence of Eu 3+ was enhanced, which can be attributed to the inner filter effect, photo-induced electron transfer, as well as the antenna effect. Besides, it was confirmed that the proposed sensor possessed good detection limits of 0.019, 0.104, and 0.028 μM for tetracycline (TET), oxytetracycline, and doxycycline, respectively. Additionally, the results of BNQD-Eu 3+ -based sensing of TET in milk and beef samples showed an insignificant difference from those of liquid chromatography−mass spectrometry. Moreover, the BNQD-Eu 3+ -based test paper was successfully used in the easy and visual detection of TCs by the naked eyes, indicating the practical applicability of the sensor.
“…Some nanomaterials and organic molecules can be used as uorescent probes to detect Fe 3+ and AA. [17][18][19][20][21][22] However, these probes are usually difficult to prepare.…”
A fluorometric method was proposed for the determination of Fe3+ and ascorbic acid (AA) based on blue and red dual fluorescence emissions of glutathione (GSH) stabilized-gold nanoclusters (AuNCs).
