Unlike ODB by itself, ODB oxide (oxODB) not only emits fluorescence, but also produces ultraviolet (UV) absorption. Therefore, on the basis of the potential optical properties of ODB, glucose oxidase (Gox) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were introduced into a CQDs\u2013ODB system for the quantitative oxidation of ODB. When glucose is present, it is oxidized by oxygen under the catalytic action of its oxidase to form hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidant that can rapidly oxidize ODB through the catalysis of horseradish peroxidase. oxODB can cause changes in the fluorescence ratio (I550\/I446) and absorbance ratio (A\/A0). At the same time, the color of the detection solution can also change under sunlight and ultraviolet lamps. Therefore, glucose can be quantitatively detected by ratiometric fluorescence and colorimetry simultaneously, and semi-quantitatively detected by observing the colors with sunlight and ultraviolet lamps of 365 nm. This increases not only the convenience but also the accuracy of detection. In addition, this sensor has good selectivity and can be used for the determination of glucose in serum, providing a new idea for the development of blood glucose sensors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19030674","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,7]],"date-time":"2019-02-07T11:50:33Z","timestamp":1549540233000},"page":"674","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Colorimetric and Ratiometric Fluorescence Dual-Mode Sensing of Glucose Based on Carbon Quantum Dots and Potential UV\/Fluorescence of o-Diaminobenzene"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Hong","family":"Zhai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Chemistry and Environmental Engineering, Shanxi Datong University, Datong 037009, China"}]},{"given":"Yunfeng","family":"Bai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Chemistry and Environmental Engineering, Shanxi Datong University, Datong 037009, China"}]},{"given":"Jun","family":"Qin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Chemistry and Environmental Engineering, Shanxi Datong University, Datong 037009, China"}]},{"given":"Feng","family":"Feng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Chemistry and Environmental Engineering, Shanxi Datong University, Datong 037009, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4805","DOI":"10.1039\/c1cs15063d","article-title":"Optical methods for sensing glucose","volume":"40","author":"Steiner","year":"2011","journal-title":"Chem.
