Recent advances in fluorescence probes based on carbon dots for sensing and speciation of heavy metals

Heavy metal (HM) pollution is a major global concern. Carbon dots (CDs) have demonstrated unique properties as sensing platforms for HMs detection. This review summarizes the progress made in recent years in fluorescence methods to determine HMs and their species using CDs. First, the strategies to...
