Fluorine-free synthesis of Ti 3 C 2 MQDs for smartphone-based fluorescent and colorimetric determination of acetylcholinesterase and organophosphorus pesticides
Ti3C2 MQDs were synthesized using an effective fluorine-free method with excitation/emission maxima at 390/490 nm and a fluorescence quantum yield of 11.78%. In contrast to the traditional, hazardous, and time-consuming process of HF pretreatment, our fluorine-free method is safe and simple. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) could catalyze the hydrolysis of acetylthiocholine (ATCh) to produce thiocholine which was further …
