“…So far, a series of approaches have been developed for detection of Cr(VI), such as electrochemistry, 6,7 uorescence, 8,9 atomic absorption spectroscopy, 10,11 colorimetry, 12,13 and surface enhancement Raman spectroscopy (SERS). 14,15 Although some methods allow detection of Cr(VI) with high sensitivity and selectivity, they require complicated instruments and experienced technicians, which are not suitable for on-site analysis. Colorimetric methods based on the color change of the reaction system can be realized via visual observation by the naked eye or spectrophotometer scanning, which is simple, low-cost, convenient and rapid.…”
