Novel fluorescent (FL) ag-oxCDs are derived from expired agar and oxalate. ag-oxCDs are selective for Fe3+ ions detection (LOD ∼ 75 μM) via FL “turn ON” mechanism. FL nanosensor based on agar biomass with upscale potential is developed herein.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
