Nanoparticle-based 'turn-on' scattering and post-sample fluorescence for ultrasensitive detection of water pollution in wider window.

Ultrasensitive detection of heavy metal ions in available water around us is a great challenge for scientists since long time. We developed an optical technique that combines Rayleigh scattering of UV light (365 nm) and post-sample fluorescence detection from colloidal silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs...
