Novel Hg (II) selective fluorescent green sensor based on carbon dots synthesized from starch and functionalized with methimazole

We describe a green new method for the synthesis of water-soluble photoluminescent carbon dots (CDs) that were functionalized with methimazole (MTZ) and applied to determine Hg2+ based on the fluorescence extinction. Starch obtained from rice was used as a natural source for the production of CDs by...
