A method is presented for the sensing of ions by determining the concentration of corresponding salts (KCl, NaCl, MgCl 2 , CaCl 2 , FeCl 3 , FeSO 4 , AlCl 3 ) in water, based on Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) process. The principle of the proposed sensor is based on the change of FRET efficiency between two laser dyes Acriflavine and Rhodamine B in presence of different ions (K + , Na + , Mg 2+ , Ca 2+ , Fe 2+ , Fe 3+ , Al 3+ ).Nanodimensional clay platelet laponite was used to enhance the efficiency of the sensor.
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.
