A simple colorimetric technique for the detection of small concentrations of aqueous heavy
metal ions, including toxic metals such as lead, cadmium, and mercury, is described …

Heavy metal ions are highly toxic species which can cause long-term damage to biological
systems. These species are known to disrupt biological events at the cellular level, cause …

A novel rhodamine-based fluorogenic and chromogenic probe for Ag+ ions in aqueous
media is developed, which can be also used for the detection of AgNPs. The sensing …

We present a high-throughput strategy for sensitive detection of H2S by using individual
spherical Au–Ag core–shell plasmonic nanoparticles (PNPs) as molecular probes. This …

The controlled assembly and disassembly of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has been a subject
of great interest over the past decade due to the potential applications of these particles in …

Nutrient pollution is of worldwide environmental and health concerns due to extensive use of
nitrogen fertilizers and release of livestock waste, which induces nitrite compounds in …

Freddy YC Boey, and Xiaodong Chen* surface-to-volume ratio gives unusual target binding …

Gold plasmon nanoparticle (AuNP) was applied to the detection and the quantification of
pollutant Cr (III) in water. It was synthesized by the chemical reduction of tetrachloroauric (III) …

Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) have become one of the most popular materials for sensing of
analytes of interest in the last decade, mainly because of their ease in preparation and …

There is an increasing focus on expanding the applicability of biologically synthesized
nanomaterials. Herein, we show the use of Cinnamomum tamala (cinnamon) leaf extract for …
