Abstract
A graphene oxide-based fluorescent nanosensor AGO has been designed and synthesized by covalent grafting allylamine onto GO surface. In aqueous media, AGO displays a highly selective and sensitive discrimination of Fe3+from Fe2+and other metal ions through electron transfer-induced fluorescence quenching. The quenching of AGO fluorescence is linearly proportional to Fe3+concentration in a wide range of 0-120μM (correlation coefficient R2=0.9994). Moreover, AGO can be used to construct a combinational three-input logic gate to discriminate Fe3+and Fe2+. The logic gate works well in intracellular fluorescence imaging, which shows a potential as a promising platform for biosensing analysis.
