Dopamine fluorescent sensors based on polypyrrole/graphene quantum dots core/shell hybrids.

A facilely prepared fluorescent sensor was developed for dopamine (DA) detection with high sensitivity and selectivity based on polypyrrole/graphene quantum dots (PPy/GQDs) core/shell hybrids. The composites exhibit strong fluorescence emission, which is dramatically enhanced as high as three times than pristine GQDs. The prepared sensor allows a highly sensitive determination of DA by fluorescent intensity decreasing with the addition of DA and presents a good linearity in range of 5-8000 nM with the detection limit of 10 pM (S/N = 3). Furthermore, the application of the proposed approach have been demonstrated in real samples and showed promise in diagnostic purposes.
