Abstract
for GO-GQDs and CA-GQDs, respectively. Finally, the potential application of the sensor for environmental water samples was investigated using lake water and satisfactory recoveries (97-107%) were obtained. The promising results from this work demonstrate the feasibility of pursuing cheaper and greener environmental monitoring techniques.
