A novel bis-component AIE smart gel with high selectivity and sensitivity to detect CN⁻, Fe³⁺ and H₂PO₄⁻

Abstract

A novel bis-component AIE smart gel <bold>TG</bold> could be used for high efficiency and sensitive ions (CN⁻, Fe³⁺ and H₂PO₄⁻) detection and separation. The LODs of <bold>TG</bold> for CN⁻, Fe³⁺ and H₂PO₄⁻ are in the range of 4.93 × 10⁻⁹–7.80 × 10⁻⁸ M.
