Carbon Nanodots with Solvatochromic Photoluminescence for the Electrochemical Determination of Estrogenic Steroids in Tap, Nat-ural and Municipal Waste Waters
Abstract:Herein, we utilized carbon nanodots (R-CNDs) for the electrochemical detection of estrogens in tap, natural water samples and simulated effluents from Swedish Waste Water Treatment Plants (WWTPs). R-CNDs were prepared from 2-aminophenol by solvothermal synthesis and used as a modifier for chitosan-based selective membranes. The data obtained from atomic force microscopy and transmission electron microscopy suggest a spherical morphology of the R-CNDs with lateral size in the range of 3–8 nm and the height of 1… Show more
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.
