Determination of dexamethasone by flow-injection chemiluminescence method using capped CdS quantum dots

L-Cysteine capped CdS quantum dots (QDs) were synthesized through a facile hydrothermal method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), photoluminescence (PL) and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The light emitted from KMnO4-L-cysteine capped CdS QDs reaction in acidic medium was applied as a simple and sensitive chemiluminescence (CL) system for determination of dexamethasone. The CL intensity of KMnO4-L-cysteine...
