摘要

Carbon quantum dots (CQDs), with their remarkable optical properties such as strong fluorescence and biocompatibility, are emerging as versatile tools in biosensing and food safety monitoring. This study investigates binding-induced Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) between CQDs as donors and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), a highly toxic mycotoxin, as the acceptor. Spherical CQDs, averaging 4.56 nm in diameter and emitting fluorescence at 455 nm, were synthesized for this purpose. Fluorescence spectroscopy, incorporating Stern-Volmer analysis and time-resolved lifetime measurements, revealed the critical role of FRET in this interaction. The estimated Förster radius (R0) of 4.81 nm and donor-acceptor separation distance (r) of 5.12 nm corresponded to a FRET efficiency of 46%. The observed decrease in donor fluorescence lifetime further supports the FRET mechanism. Selectivity experiments confirmed the system’s specificity for AFB1 detection, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.439 nM. These findings underscore the potential of FRET-based CQD systems for sensitive and selective AFB1 detection, highlighting their versatility in fluorescence-based sensing applications and their promise for rapid food safety monitoring.
