Abstract

In this study, we have carried out a characterization of the quenching effect produced by some commonly encountered metal ions (Co2+, Cu2+, Ni2+, Pb2+, Cd2+, As5+) on the photoluminescence of water suspensions of open-cage fullerene quantum dots prepared with a modified Hummers method. The response to heavy-metal ions occurs through a selective quenching of the PL emission and modifications of the absorption spectrum.
Keywords: heavy metal sensing; photoluminescence; absorption heavy metal sensing; photoluminescence; absorption
