Highly sensitive fluorescence detection of chloride ion in aqueous solution with Ag-modified porous g-C_(3)N_(4) nanosheets

摘要

The porous g-C_(3)N_(4)(PCN)nanosheets are successfully synthesized and further modified with nano-sized Ag by a simple wet-chemical process.Intere stingly,the Ag-modified porous g-C_(3)N_(4)(Ag-PCN)nanosheets exhibit competitive fluorescence detection performance of chloride ion(Cl)in aqueous solutio n.Under the optimized conditions,the concentration of Cl could be quantitative analyzed with the Ag-PCN in a wide detection range from 0.5 mmol/L to 0.1 mol/L,with a low detection limitation of 0.06 mmol/L.It is confirmed that the fluorescence of PCN could be effectively decayed by the photoinduced charge transfer via the adsorbed Cl for trapping holes,mainly by means of the time-resolved fluorescence and surface photo voltage spectra.The porous structure and modified Ag promote the adsorption of Cl on resulting Ag-PCN,leading to excellent fluorescence detection for Cl.This work provides a feasible route to develop a fluorescence detection of Cl with g-C_(3)N_(4) nanosheets in environment water.
