Here we present a simple technique for copper (II) detection in aqueous solutions by luminescent dye doped polymeric film. In this study the photoluminescent dye lumocupferon was first embedded in thin films of polysaccharide chitosan. The sensor response is forming by quenching the dye luminescence. This technique can offer a rapid detection of Cu2+ with a dynamic range up to 350 μM.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
