Carbon dots (CDs) are prepared through a simple one-step hydrothermal treatment of o-phenylendiamine (OPD) and show yellow photoluminescent (PL) emission under the ultraviolet excitation, which can be further enhanced by Cu²⁺ ions owing to Cu²⁺ ions induced aggregation of OPD-CDs through the coordination of Cu²⁺ with amino groups on the surface of OPD-CDs. The aggregation induced emission enhancement (AIEE) property enables it feasible to develop a simple, sensitive and selective method to detect environmental and intracellular copper (Ⅱ) ions. The limit of detection as lowas 0.28 μmol/L (3σ/k) and a dynamic range from 0.5 μmol/L to 40 μmol/L make it veryeasy to detect the copper content inwater samples, such as river closure reservoir. Furthermore, fluorescence imaging of intracellular Cu²⁺ suggests that the AIEE features of OPD-CDs specific to Cu²⁺ ions can be also applied in biological systems.
