Three independent channel nanohybrids as fluorescent probes?

RSC Advances Pub Date: 2015-10-09 DOI: 10.1039/C5RA18028G

Abstract

A properly designed pyrene-capped CdSe/ZnS nanohybrid can act as a three-channel fluorescent sensor due to the independent emission of the pyrene monomer and excimer as well as that of the nanoparticle. As proof of principle, it was tested for a simple and rapid quantification of TNT in the presence of interferents of the same chemical family.
