The paper studied nitrogen- and phosphorus co-doped carbon dots synthesized via a one-step hydrothermal method using corn whiskers as the carbon source, and then incorporated into a boric acid/urea rigid matrix to create a paper-based room-temperature phosphorescent probe (NP-CDs@matrix@paper). The probe showed long-lived green phosphorescence with afterglow lasting up to 8 s, and oxytetracycline (OTC) increased phosphorescence intensity while producing a visible color change from yellow to green; optical measurements were used to probe the probe–OTC interaction mechanism. The reported limit of detection for OTC was 1.17 µmol/L and results in actual samples agreed with national standard methods. The study is presented as a preprint and the text emphasizes antibiotic detection in water environments rather than biological endpoints; This paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, nitrogen-phosphorus co-doped carbon dots (NP-CDs) were prepared by a one-step hydrothermal method in the presence of triethylenetetramine and phosphoric acid using corn whiskers as a carbon source. A paper-based phosphorescent probe, NP-CDs@matrix@paper, with a room-temperature green phosphorescence afterglow lasting up to 8 s was constructed by using the rigid environment provided by boric acid and urea. Oxytetracycline (OTC) not only enhances the intensity of the phosphorescence of the probe, but also exhibits a dynamic change from yellow phosphorescence to green phosphorescence discernible by the naked eye, which creates a favorable condition for visual detection of OTC. A series of optical properties were investigated to further reveal the interaction mechanism between the probe and OTC. The limit of detection (LOD) of the NP-CDs@matrix@paper probe for OTC was 1.17 µmol/L. The results of the actual samples by using this probe were in high agreement with those obtained by using the national standard method. In this work, a long-life, paper based, color-changing room-temperature phosphorescent probe was developed from biowaste. This not only helps to improve the utilization value of bio-waste, but also provides a new method and idea for rapid visual detection of antibiotics in the water environment.*Corresponding author: Prof. Qingkun Shang, [email protected]

method in the presence of triethylenetetramine and phosphoric acid using corn whiskers as a carbon source. A paper-based phosphorescent probe, NP-CDs@matrix@paper, with a room-temperature green phosphorescence afterglow lasting up to 8 s was constructed by using the rigid environment provided by boric acid and urea. Oxytetracycline (OTC) not only enhances the intensity of the phosphorescence of the probe, but also exhibits a dynamic change from yellow phosphorescence to green phosphorescence discernible by the naked eye, which creates a favorable condition for visual detection of OTC. A series of optical properties were investigated to further reveal the interaction mechanism between the probe and OTC. The limit of detection (LOD) of the NP-CDs@matrix@paper probe for OTC was 1.17 \u0026micro;mol/L. The results of the actual samples by using this probe were in high agreement with those obtained by using the national standard method. In this work, a long-life, paper based, color-changing room-temperature phosphorescent probe was developed from biowaste. This not only helps to improve the utilization value of bio-waste, but also provides a new method and idea for rapid visual detection of antibiotics in the water environment.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Corresponding author: Prof. Qingkun Shang, [email protected]\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e","manuscriptTitle":"Construction of paper-based long-life room temperature phosphorescence probe for tetracycline detection using nitrogen and phosphorus co doped corn whiskers carbon dots","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2025-11-05 19:19:30","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-7898388/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0},{"type":"decision","content":"Revision requested","date":"2025-11-16T14:55:28+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorInvitedReview","content":"","date":"2025-11-15T02:42:15+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorInvitedReview","content":"","date":"2025-11-11T06:13:05+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"26751639245299067851926969948870887818","date":"2025-11-02T00:48:28+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"57480576358960275450874155966583320011","date":"2025-10-29T12:13:51+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorInvitedReview","content":"","date":"2025-10-27T08:43:01+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"120989024678825450377590453011221922701","date":"2025-10-27T08:20:46+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewersInvited","content":"","date":"2025-10-27T07:44:04+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorAssigned","content":"","date":"2025-10-23T07:01:35+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"checksComplete","content":"","date":"2025-10-23T07:00:45+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"submitted","content":"Microchimica Acta","date":"2025-10-19T12:05:42+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"[email protected]","identity":"microchimica-acta","isNatureJournal":false,"hasQc":true,"allowDirectSubmit":false,"externalIdentity":"miac","sideBox":"Learn more about [Microchimica Acta](https://link.springer.com/journal/604)","snPcode":"604","submissionUrl":"https://submission.springernature.com/new-submission/604/3","title":"Microchimica Acta","twitterHandle":"","acdcEnabled":true,"dfaEnabled":true,"editorialSystem":"stoa","reportingPortfolio":"Springer Hybrid","inReviewEnabled":true,"inReviewRevisionsEnabled":false}}],"origin":"","ownerIdentity":"63a2bdd9-c9cc-4dc0-9848-88bb6faf5267","owner":[],"postedDate":"November 5th, 2025","published":true,"recentEditorialEvents":[],"rejectedJournal":[],"revision":"","amendment":"","status":"published-in-journal","subjectAreas":[],"tags":[],"updatedAt":"2026-01-26T16:00:13+00:00","versionOfRecord":{"articleIdentity":"rs-7898388","link":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s00604-026-07853-7","journal":{"identity":"microchimica-acta","isVorOnly":false,"title":"Microchimica Acta"},"publishedOn":"2026-01-21 15:57:23","publishedOnDateReadable":"January 21st, 2026"},"versionCreatedAt":"2025-11-05 19:19:30","video":"","vorDoi":"10.1007/s00604-026-07853-7","vorDoiUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s00604-026-07853-7","workflowStages":[]},"version":"v1","identity":"rs-7898388","journalConfig":"researchsquare"},"__N_SSP":true},"page":"/article/[identity]/[[...version]]","query":{"redirect":"/article/rs-7898388","identity":"rs-7898388","version":["v1"]},"buildId":"8U1c8b4HqxoKbykW_rLl7","isFallback":false,"isExperimentalCompile":false,"dynamicIds":[84888],"gssp":true,"scriptLoader":[]}
