Green and facile synthesis of water-soluble carbon dots from ethanolic shallot extract for chromium ion sensing in milk, fruit juices, and wastewater samples.

ABSTRACT: Self-functionalized carbon dots (CDs) were prepared from ethanolic shallot extract to obtain a total phenolic precursor. The total phenolic extract was then heated at 180 °C for four hours in an autoclave. Only 1 mg L^-1 of CDs had high fluorescence emission at 430 nm after excitation at 340 nm and manifested a high selectivity for Cr(vi) ions. The inter- and intra-day emission stability, pH, ionic strength, solvent effect, Stern-Volmer constant, incubation time, speciation of Cr(iii) and Cr(vi) ions, and ion selectivity of the as-prepared CDs were investigated in detail. The proposed method was validated in 20-100 μM linearity with y = 2.2346x as the set-zero intercept linear equation, 0.9981 as the correlation coefficient, 3.5 μM as the limit of detection (LOD), 1
