Abstract:Detection of trace magnesium ion (Mg 2 + ) is important in environmental and health monitoring. In this work, highperformance Mg 2 + sensor was developed from label-free carbon dots. The novel carbon dots were prepared for the first time from natural rubber through the two-step pyrolysis and hydrothermal method. They showed selectivity towards Mg 2 + against a range of metal ions in solution and yielded a detection limit of 4.3 μM. The Mg 2 + detection in real water samples showed an excellent recovery of 97.2… Show more
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.
