Switching Gold Nanoparticles ON to Detect Heavy Metal Ions in Water - AZoNano

Developing a unique fluorescence "OFF-ON" sensing technique for Hg2+  based on synthesized gold nanoparticles (GNPs) is the topic of a recent study.

Mercury ion (Hg2+ ) is a heavy metallic contaminant that can compromise water quality and damage human health. Therefore, the precise detection of Hg2+  has become a significant research area.  Devel… [+5539 chars]
