Fluorine-doped carbon dot (cd)-modified enrichment chromogenic membrane and use thereof in detection of three perfluorinated compounds (pfcs)

Abstract

A fluorine-doped CD is synthesized through one-pot solvothermal synthesis as follows: dissolving 4-(diethylamino)salicylaldehyde and sodium fluoride in deionized water to produce an aqueous solution, and ultrasonically mixing the aqueous solution with phosphoric acid thoroughly to produce a mixture; placing the mixture in a reactor lined with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and allowing a reaction for 1 h to 3 h under heating at 180° C. to 220° C.; cooling, and conducting centrifugation to remove unreacted raw materials; collecting a resulting supernatant, and conducting dialysis in a dialysis bag for 24 h to 48 h to produce a sample; and lyophilizing the sample to produce the fluorine-doped CD. The fluorine-doped CD is adopted as a chromogenic agent to achieve the detection of PFCs, and accordingly, a enrichment chromogenic membrane is prepared in combination with UiO-66-F. The enrichment chromogenic membrane allows convenient detection and can achieve the in-situ monitoring of three PFCs in water.
