The capped CdS-ZnS quantum dots (QDs) were synthesized with various thiol capping agents of glycolic acid (TGA), mercaptosuccinic acid (MSA), and L-cysteine (LCY) and used as fluorescence probe for determination of Cu (II) ions. The method of twolevel three-factor full-factorial experiment design was used to achieve the best optical fluorescence emission. Results revealed that Cu (II) ions can effectively quench the emission of QDs, and the fluorescence intensity is linearly decreased with increasing Cu (II) ion concentration. The limit of detection for CdS-ZnS@ QDs capped with TGA, MSA, and LCY was obtained at 1.15 107, 1.32 107, and 2.19 107 mol L1, respectively, with linear dynamic range of 3.13 106 to 1.41 104 mol L1. Luminescence quantum yields of CdS-ZnS@LCY, CdSZnS@MSA, and CdS-ZnS@TGA were obtained at 4.17, 1.92, and 2.47, respectively. Results indicated that no significant quenching occurred in the presence of the other metal ions. The binding constant (Kb) of capped CdS-ZnS@ QDs with Cu2+ and the other metal ions was also investigated and discussed. The Kb value for Cu2+ was obtained considerably more than that the other ions. This work presents a new and sensitive method for determination of Cu2+ ion
