Abstract

A simple label-free method for the detection of Hg²⁺ ions with high selectivity and sensitivity has been developed by using fluorescent Au NCs in aqueous media. The sensing mechanism was based on the high-affinity metallophilic Hg²⁺-Au⁺ interactions, which effectively quenched the fluorescence of Au NCs.
