    Abstract:
    In this work, we report a smartphone-integrated paper-based sensor for the determination of sulfide ions (S2-) using water-soluble dihydrolipoic acid stabilized silver nanoclusters (DHLA-AgNCs) as a nanoprobe. The optical properties of red emitting fluorescent DHLA-AgNCs was confirmed by UV-visible, steady state flourometric spectroscopic studies. The HR-TEM analysis revealed that the morphology of DHLA-AgNCs was quasi spherical with a grain size of ∼ 5.2 nm. The DHLA-AgNCs exhibited bright red luminescence with strong emission band centered at 650 nm upon the excitation at 420 nm. The excellent fluorescence property of DHLA-AgNCs was further utilized for fluorometric determination of S2- ions. The DHLA-AgNCs can be effectively quenched by increasing concentration of S2- ions owing to the formation of Ag2S complex. The DHLA-AgNCs probe could detect S2- ions preferentially even in the presence of other possible interfering anions with a limit of detection of 32.71 nM. In addition, the proposed technique was effectively used to detect S2- ions in environmental water samples such as tap and drinking water. The detect S2- ions detection was assay and showed good agree compared with the conventional methylene blue approach and showed comparable results. Moreover, a smartphone-paper-based detection assay was developed using the DHLA-AgNCs probe for highly selective and sensitive determination of S2- ions.
