Sulfur-doped graphene quantum dots (S-GQDs) with stable blue-green fluorescence were synthesized by one-step electrolysis of graphite in sodium p-toluenesulfonate aqueous solution. Compared with GQDs, the S-GQDs drastically improved the electronic properties and surface chemical reactivities, which exhibited a sensitive response to Fe3+. Therefore, the S-GQDs were used as an efficient fluorescent probe for highly selective detection of Fe3+. Upon increasing of Fe3+ concentration ranging from 0.01 to 0.70 mu M, the fluorescence intensity of S-GQDs gradually decreased and reached a plateau at 0.90 mu M. The difference in the fluorescence intensity of S-GQDs before and after adding Fe3+ was proportional to the concentration of Fe3+, and the calibration curve displayed linear regions over the range of 0-0.70 mu M. The detection limit was 4.2 nM. Finally, this novel fluorescent probe was successfully applied to the direct analysis of Fe3+ in human serum, which presents potential applications in clinical diagnosis and may open a new way to the design of effective fluorescence probes for other biologically related targets.
