Ultrasensitive detection of mercury (II) ions using electrochemical surface plasmon resonance with magnetohydrodynamic convection

Au NPs-enhanced surface plasmon resonance for sensitive detection of mercury(II) ions

“…SPR is a sensitive and powerful optical technique for quantifying the analytes adsorbed on the sensor surface. Just based on this characteristic, some SPR-based detection systems for aqueous Hg 2+ have been developed (Chah et al, 2004;Morris and Szulczewski, 2002;Panta et al, 2009;Yu et al, 2004). For example, a SPReeta sensor has been developed for Hg 2+ detection by Lai's group (Yu et al, 2004).…”

Application of Polypyrrole Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube Composite Layer for Detection of Mercury, Lead and Iron Ions Using Surface Plasmon Resonance Technique

“…Ning et al also used Ag and Au nanoparticles for detection of Hg ion in a water sample [37]. Panta et al combined the conventional electrochemical method, surface plasmon resonance (SPR), and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) convection to measure the concentration of the Hg ion [38]. They detected the Hg ion down to 1 fM concentration in aqueous solution but this method was combination of three methods.…”

Density functional study of Hg adsorption mechanisms on α-Fe2O3 with H2S

“…This heavy metal element is identified as a pollutant because of its volatility, persistence, bioaccumulation, and neurological toxicity [2]. Worldwide mercury emissions from human activities are estimated to be between 1000 t/annum and 6000 t/annum [3].…”
