Fluorescent Quantum Dots with Boronic Acid Substituted Viologens To Sense Glucose in Aqueous Solution

Abstract

A quantum leap in glucose sensing: Commercially available fluorescent quantum dots are used in combination with boronic acid modified viologens to sense glucose in aqueous solution. The signal response is optimized by adjusting the ratio of quantum dots to viologen quencher.
