The photochemical method is applied to synthesize Pd/C-dots in which Pd nanoparticles (NPs) are dispersedly encapsulated by C-dots layer. The nanohybrid can function as a fluorescent sensor and reductive catalyst, due to the inherent properties of C-dots and Pd NPs, respectively. The Pd/C-dots exhibit a highly selective and sensitive detection toward the nickel (Ni2+) ion with a detection limit of 7.26 × 10−9 m. Moreover, the Ni2+ is detected in MCF-7 live cells signifying the applicability of nanohybrid as a promising sensor. On the other hand, the Pd/C-dots show an excellent catalytic performance in the reduction of 4-nitrophenol and eosin yellow. A plausible mechanism for sensing and catalysis behavior is proposed. The sensor system is designed on the basis of the fluorescence turn-on when Ni2+ interacts with functional groups of the C-dots layer. The activities of catalytic reduction are mainly governed by the Pd NPs and further enhanced when the C-dots layer is incorporated. The Pd/C-dots can serve as a new paradigm for opening a potential trend in the design of multifunctional materials to diverse applications. © 2019 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH &amp;amp; Co.
