Abstract

The electrochemistry of mercaptopropionic acid capped CdTe quantum dots (QDs) was studied by differential pulse voltammetry, three processes were obtained at 0.36 (A1), 0.68 (A2) and 0.84 V (A3), respectively. A1 process could be selectively suppressed by magnesium ion, an electrochemical sensor for magnesium ion was developed with a linear response from 4 × 10−5 to 1 × 10−2 mol/L and good reproducibility. This electrochemical sensing application of QDs may provide a new strategy for QDs-based detection.
