This study explores a novel approach for in-field speciation of Cr(vi) in various aqueous samples employing nontoxic, MoS2 quantum dots (QDs) as a fluorescent probe. The proposed fluorimetric method, compatible with commercial instruments, utilizes a portable custom-built fluorimeter equipped with a...
