Orange peel-based carbon quantum dots (OP-CQDs) were prepared by a simple one-step hydrothermal method. The properties of OP-CQDs were studied through fluorescence analysis. The results show that OP-CQDs have good water solubility, strong fluorescence, and stable performance in the physiological pH range. OP-CQDs exhibit a specific quenching reaction towards iron ions (Fe³⁺) with high sensitivity. At the same time, L-ascorbic acid (L-AA) can partially restore the fluorescence of the OP-CQDs-Fe³⁺ system to form an"on-off-on"fluorescence detection system. The detection limits of Fe³⁺ and L-AA were 1.1 and 31.8 μmol·L^-1, respectively.
