Fluorescence（FL） analysis showed the successive synthesis of QDs could be realized by capping with DL and the binding between DL and Cd^（2＋）. The average QDs particle size was about 5-20 nm by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy（HRTEM）. Fourier transform infrared（FT-IR） spectra showed that Cd Se QDs could be chemically bonded with DL. The formation of QDs-DL-Cr（Ⅵ） could lower the fluorescence intensity of QDs. In a certain concentration range, the fluorescence intensity and Cr（Ⅵ） concentration presented a linear relationship. As a result, this phenomenon could be used to determine the Cr（Ⅵ） concentration in the range of 0-24 ×10^（-6） mol· L^（-1）.展开更多
