Orange Peel-Assisted GO/rGO Blended to Functionalize Ag Nanoparticles: A Sensing Probe for Organo-Hg 2+ Ions in Factual Analytes

Key Points

• The aim is to develop an eco-friendly sensing probe for the detection of organo-Hg ions using a blended material of GO/rGO and Ag nanoparticles.
• Utilized fluorescence measurement and cyclic voltammetry to assess detection capabilities.
• Determined the limit of detection (LOD) for mercury ions to be 0.032 nM, significantly lower than previously reported levels.
• Achieved a fluorescence measurement that indicates effective sensing of mercury ions.
• Confirmed the LOD value of 0.032 nM through cyclic voltammetry, demonstrating high sensitivity.
