Easily synthesized carbon dots for determination of mercury(II) in water samples

In this work, a simple thermal method was used to synthesize carbon dots from citric acid and glycine precursors. It was found that Hg(II) ions can selectively quench the fluorescence emission of these carbon dots. Subsequently, a sensor was designed and optimized for the determination of Hg(II) ion...
