In this study, a novel nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dot/oxidized gum arabic-gelatin-based fluorescent probe (NAH) was prepared using gelatin (GL) and gum arabic (AG) biomolecules. The primary network structure of this hydrogel consisted of polyacrylamide (PAM), while a secondary network structure was constructed between oxidized gum arabic and gelatin through the reaction of the Schiff base, which significantly enhanced the mechanical properties, the stress and strain of NAH reached 266.47 KPa and 2175.

- A trapezoidal cage (1) was developed, allowing it to selectively recognize fluoride ions (F) even in the presence of many other anions.
- The selectivity for fluoride is reported to be greater than 1000 times ( > 1000).
- Various analytical methods, including NMR, fluorescence, UV-vis, and HRMS, were used to study the binding characteristics and affinity of the cage with fluoride, demonstrating a binding affinity of around ∼10 M.
