Quercetin-Functionalized Silver Nanoparticles as Selective Colorimetric Sensor of Hg2+ in Water and Studies on Interactions between the Nanoparticles and Bovine Serum Albumin

SSSushma SushmaDCDeepti ChauhanHSHendrik Christoffel Swart

Key Points

  • The aim is to synthesize quercetin-functionalized silver nanoparticles for the selective detection of mercury ions (Hg2+) in water.
  • Synthesis of quercetin functionalized silver nanoparticles (QC-AgNPs) using quercetin as a reducing agent.
  • Characterization of QC-AgNPs through UV-Vis spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
  • Successfully synthesized QC-AgNPs shown to selectively detect Hg2+ ions in water.
  • Characterization confirms the formation and stability of QC-AgNPs through various spectroscopic methods.

Abstract

Quercetin functionalized silver nanoparticles (QC-AgNPs) were synthesized using quercetin as reducing and stabilizing agent. UV-Vis and FTIR spectroscopy along with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to confirm the fabrication...
