Abstract:
Traditional detection methods to detect heavy metal ions are time-consuming, complicated, and expensive. Here, we developed a simple electroless plating method to prepare three-dimensional gold nanowire (Au NW) films with high specific surface area. In an aqueous plating bath, tetrachloroauric acid, 4-dimethylaminopyridine and formaldehyde are used as precursor, ligand, and reducing agent, respectively. An electrochemical sensor based on a Au NWs/SPE could be applied for simultaneous detection of lead (Pb( ii )), arsenic (As( iii )), and mercury (Hg( ii )) ions. The detection limits of Pb( ii ), As( iii ), and Hg( ii ) are 2.6, 1.5, and 4.2 μg L −1 , all lower than the permissible limits of the WHO for drinking water (the permissible level of Pb( ii ) and As( iii ) is 10.0 μg L −1 , and the permissible level of Hg( ii ) is 6.0 μg L −1 ), respectively. This work presents a simple and novel method to prepare gold nanowires for quick detection of trace heavy metal ions.
