Abstract

This methodological article proposes a rapid fluorescence -quenching assay for Cu(II) in drinking water using plant-derived carbon dots. Studies from 2023–2026 guide precursor selection, synthesis, signal processing and validation. The workflow integrates hydrothermal preparation, purification, controlled fluorescence measurement, matri x-matched calibration and reference -method confirmation. No original measurements are claimed; analytical performance remains a validation requirement. The design is intended for green analytical -chemistry research and preliminary screening.
