“…GQD-based probe sensors have been used to determine Fe 3+ [22,23,42,48,58,60,76], Cu 2+ [68,82,83], Al 3+ [84] and the hazardous species Hg 2+ [85,86], Cr 6+ [87] and Ni 2+ [88]. Analytical applications of these sensors has focused largely on Fe 3+ , probably because of its prominent role in biological systems (particularly in regulatory processes).…”
