%0 Journal Article %T High-Sensitive Sensor of Dopamine Based on Photoluminescence Quenching of Hierarchical CdS Spherical Aggregates %A Binjie Sun %A Changzheng Wang %J Journal of Nanomaterials %D 2012 %I Hindawi Publishing Corporation %R 10.1155/2012/502481 %X Hierarchical CdS spherical aggregates have been fabricated by an assembling strategy starting from nanoparticles, which opens a general way to obtain hierarchical spherical aggregates of different types of materials. The hierarchical CdS spherical aggregates are of high porosity and high surface area, which give rise to unique photoluminescence properties. The desirable properties we report here will spur further developments of novel dopamine photoluminescence sensors based on the high surface area hierarchical CdS spherical aggregates fabricated with our unique assembling strategy. The novel dopamine photoluminescence sensor has a low detection limit of 1.0¡Á10£¿8 M, which is much lower than those reported previously. %U http://www.hindawi.com/journals/jnm/2012/502481/
