Liquid crystal based optical platform for the detection of Pb2+ ions using NiFe2O4 nanoparticles

A simple, sensitive, selective and real time detection protocol was developed for Pb2+ ions in water using liquid crystals (LCs). In this method, NiFe2O4 nanoparticles were synthesized using chemical co-precipitation method. Crystallite size, morphological, functional groups and magnetization studie...
