Graphene quantum dots functionalized gold nanoparticles for sensitive electrochemical detection of heavy metal ions
2015
Abstract Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are emerging zero dimensional materials promising various novel applications due to their extraordinary physicochemical properties. In this work, novel conjugates of GQDs and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are synthesized and used for sensitive electrochemical detection of heavy metal ions (Hg 2+ and Cu 2+ ). Ultralow detection limit (0.02 nM with S/N = 6.25 for Hg 2+ and 0.05 nM with S/N = 4.81 for Cu 2+ ) and high sensitivity (2.47 μA/nM for Hg 2+ and 3.69 μA/nM for Cu 2+ ) have been achieved.
