Nanomolar Level Detection of Chemotoxic UO22+ Ions by a Free Carboxylate Anchored Metal-Organic Framework
Key Points
The aim is to develop a method for detecting low levels of chemotoxic uranium ions in the environment.
Utilized free carboxylate anchored metal-organic frameworks for detection
Performed experiments at nanomolar concentration levels
Analyzed sensing performance under varying conditions
Successfully detected uranium ions at nanomolar levels
Showed high selectivity and sensitivity for [UO2]2+ ions
Indicated potential for environmental monitoring applications
Abstract
The enrichment of chemotoxic uranium in the environment due to the rapid expansion of the nuclear industry to fulfil the growing energy demand has led to serious risks to human...
