Heavy metal ions present in water bodies are of great concern for human health, aquatic life,
and environmental sustainability. The heteroatoms present in small organic molecule-based …

Transition metals (d-blocks) are recognized as playing critical roles in biology, and they most
often act as cofactors in diverse enzymes; however, improper regulation of transition metal …

In this work, water soluble carbon quantum dots (wsCQDs) were synthesized from lemon
peel waste using a facile and cost effective hydrothermal process. As synthesized wsCQDs …

Reliable and simple detection methods for chemotherapeutic agent contaminants, such as
methotrexate, are required to minimize their possible toxic threat. However, detecting them …

In this work, we invented a new method to synthesize boron-and nitrogen-co-doped
graphene quantum dots (B, N-GQDs). This synthesis method was more reliable, simple, and …

Quantitation of environmental pollutants has gained momentum due to its widespread
requirement in the fields of clinical research, occupational hygiene, public health, and …

Despite their extreme toxicity for human and the environment, Cr (VI) species are widely
used in multiple industrial processes. This brings the need of potent strategies for detection …
