Discriminating between Different Heavy Metal Ions with Fullerene-Derived Nanoparticles

Discriminating between Different Heavy Metal Ions with Fullerene-Derived Nanoparticles

A novel type of graphene-like nanoparticle, synthesized by oxidation and unfolding of C60 buckminsterfullerene fullerene, showed multiple and reproducible sensitivity to Cu2+, Pb2+, Cd2+, and As(III) through different degrees of fluorescence quenching or, in the case of Cd2+, through a remarkable fl...
