Abstract:
The detection and removal of Pb2+ is of utmost importance for environmental protection and human health due to its toxicity, persistent pollution, and bioaccumulation effects. To address the limitations associated with organic small molecule-based fluorescence probes such as poor water solubility and single functionality in detecting Pb2+, a fluorescence probe based on halloysite nanotubes was developed. This probe not only enables specific, rapid, and reliable detection of Pb2+ but also facilitates efficient removal of it from water. The development of this bifunctional fluorescent probe provides a valuable insight for designing more advanced probes targeting heavy metal ions.
