Abstract
This study describes a new method for synthesizing water-soluble carbon dots (CDs) using “Curcuma longa” (green source) named CL-CDs via a single-step hydrothermal process. The as-synthesized CL-CDs exhibited greenish-yellow fluorescence at 548 nm upon excitation at 440 nm. It shows good water stability and exhibits a quantum yield of 19.4%. The developed probe is utilized for sensing triazophos (TZP) pesticide via a dynamic quenching mechanism, exhibiting favorable linearity ranging from 0.5–500 μM with a limit of detection of 0.0042 μM. The as-prepared CL-CDs probe was sensitive and selective towards TZP. Lastly, the successful application of the CL-CDs-based fluorescent probe in water and rice samples highlights its potential as a reliable and efficient method for the detection of TZP in various real sample matrices. Eventually, bioimaging and biocompatibility aspects of CL-CDs have been assessed on Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast) cell and lung cancer (A549) cell lines, respectively.
