Reduced Graphene Oxide/Amino-Nitroso-Uracil Nanocomposite for the Detection of Heavy Metals in Aqueous Environment

The rGO-ANU composite has been synthesized via hydrothermal method. The composite material was characterized using FTIR, UV-vis spectroscopy, XRD and SEM. SEM analysis showed well exfoliated rGO in rGO-ANU composite. The composite was applied for the detection of the heavy metal using the UV-vis spectroscopy method. Among the series of metals, Ag+ has been found sensitive against the composite material with detection limit of 3.69 μM and quantification limit of 12.3 μM in an aqueous medium.
