Selective colorimetric sensing of mercury(ii) using turn off–turn on mechanism from riboflavin stabilized silver nanoparticles in aqueous medium

Abstract

A simple Hg2+ sensor has been developed using the vitamin B2 (riboflavin) stabilized Ag nanoparticlevia a “turn off”–“turn on” mechanism; both the colour and photoluminescence properties of the riboflavin solution are used as sensitizing tools showing a sensitivity up to 5 nM Hg2+ concentration.
