Due to the neural toxicity of mercury, there is a need for the development of on-site detection systems for Hg 2+ monitoring. To this end, a new colorimetric mercury detection probe, Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @Au (magnetic-Au; Mag-Au) hybrid nanoparticles, has been developed. The Au on the surface of Mag-Au i...
