Rational Design of Highly Fluorescent N-Doped Carbon Nanoparticles for Hg2+ Ion Sensing via Machine Learning and Computational Analysis.
A novel fluorescent sensor was developed using diphenylcarbazone-ligand-functionalized carbon nanoparticles for Hg2+ ion detection. The carbon nanoparticles were synthesized by the hydrothermal method using vitamin C as the carbon source and functionalized with an Hg2+ ion-selective diphenylcarbazone organic ligand via...
