Silver nanoparticles as highly efficient and selective optical probe for sulphide via dendrimer formation in aqueous medium
Keyword(s):
1-[(4-Nitrophenyl)azo]-2-naphthol capped AgNPs were evaluated as a colorimetric sensor for S2− in aqueous medium over pH 4 to 10 with a nanomolar detection limit. The TEM, SEM and AFM images revealed the transition of spherical AgNPs into dendrimers.
