Abstract
Perovskite structured CsPbX<sub>3</sub> (X = Cl, Br or I) quantum dots (QDs) have attracted great attention in the past few years for appealing application potentials in photovoltaic and optoelectronic devices. In this report, the CsPbX<sub>3</sub> QDs are shown to perform as a new probe for metal ions with high sensitivity, high selectivity and instant response by the quenching or enhancing of the photoluminescence (PL). Through experimental and calculation efforts, the probing mechanisms are investigated. A wide probing window for Cu<sup>2+</sup> and Yb<sup>3+</sup> ions ranging from 2 × 10<sup>-9</sup> to 2 × 10<sup>-6</sup> m is exhibited for CsPbBr<sub>3</sub> QDs. In practice, the CsPbBr<sub>3</sub> QDs are successfully applied for fast probing Cu<sup>2+</sup> ions in edible oils and vehicle lubricating oils with the precision consistent to the values measured by inductively coupled plasma (ICP). Thus, it provides a promising powerful tool in detecting certain metal ions in biological and industrial organic solution systems.
