In this work, a simple and sensitive N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC)-covered CdTe quantum dots (NAC-CdTe QDs) fluorescence probe for continuous detection of Co2+ and pyrophosphate ions (PPi, P2O74-) was synthesized. The fluorescence of the quantum dots was significantly quenched by Co2+ through the coordination of Co2+ and the carboxyl groups on the NAC-CdTe quantum dots. Interestingly, the combination of NAC-CdTe quantum dots with Co2+ yields a new fluorescence probe of Co2+-modified NAC-CdTe QDs (Co2+NAC-CdTe). The addition of PPi restored the fluorescence due to the competition between PPi and carboxyl groups with Co2+ causing Co2+ to detach from the surface of Co2+@NAC-CdTe quantum dots. Thus, a sensitive and reversible detection of Co2+ and PPi had been successfully established. The Co2+@NAC-CdTe quantum dots fluorescence probe exhibits excellent selectivity and high sensitivity toward PPi detection with low detection limit of 0.28 μM. In addition, the novel fluorescence probe was successfully applied to detect the concentration of PPi in environmental water samples and in-vitro cells imaging.
