title: Highly selective detection of phosphate in very complicated matrixes with an off-on fluorescent probe of europium-adjusted carbon dots.
abstract: A simple method for phosphate (Pi) detection is established by developing an off-on fluorescence probe of europium-adjusted carbon dots (CDs), which has been successfully applied to the detection of Pi in very complicated matrixes such as artificial wetlands system.
