A single CDs/Fe-MOF luminescent probe with dual-emission for the simultaneous detection of nitrite and copper (II) ions

Key Points

• The dual-emission luminescent probe enables the simultaneous detection of nitrite and copper (II) ions in solution, enhancing detection capabilities.
• The probe showed distinct emissions at different wavelengths, which allows for the specific identification of each ion present in the sample.
• Employing a novel Fe-MOF-based luminescent material, the study provides a new method for tracking environmental pollutants effectively.
• This finding may enable improved methods for monitoring water quality; further real-world testing is required.
