Abstract

Hg2+ is one of the most toxic heavy metal ions that exist in the environment and it forms large numbers of toxic binary compounds. Accurate and rapid detection of the concentration of heavy metal ions is a prerequisite technology to achieve pollution control and prevention. Fluorescent probes have attracted extensive attention because of their high sensitivity, prominent precision, convenient and fast visualization of heavy metals. Herein, we report multi-layered graphitic carbon nitride via a simple thermopolymerization treatment as a very effectual fluorescent probe for sensitive and selective detection of Hg2+ with a limit of detection as low as 1.14nM.
