Hetero-Ligand peptide functionalization of gold nanoparticles for selective detection of cobalt (II) ions

Cobalt (II) ions, Co2+ represents one of the heavy metals that poses contamination to the environment. Despite being an essential element, over exposure to Co2+ can be detrimental to human health. To combat Co2+ contamination, monitoring the level of Co2+ with a fast detection technique is of ut...
