Fluorescent and pH-responsive diblock copolymer-coated core–shell CdSe/ZnS particles for a color-displaying, ratiometric pH sensor

Abstract

A color distinctive, ratiometric pH sensor was demonstrated using pH responsive and fluorescent (PyMMP-b-P2VP) diblock copolymer coated CdSe/ZnS QDs. Due to the change in the P2VP conformations in response to pH change, the color of QDs in solution changes distinctly from blue to red.
