title: Carbon nanodots as fluorescence probes for rapid, sensitive, and label-free detection of Hg2+ and biothiols in complex matrices.
abstract: In this work, unmodified carbon nanodots are demonstrated as novel and environmentally-friendly fluorescence probes for the sensing of Hg(2+) and biothiols with high sensitivity and selectivity.
