Microwave synthesis of silvergraphene oxide for determination of mercury ion (HG2+)

In this study, silver-graphene oxide were synthesized using microwave irradiation for the determination of mercury ion (Hg2+) using spectrophotometry. Due to the harmful effects of Hg2+, it is crucial to be able to detect and measure the level of Hg2+. The GO-Ag nanocomposite are chosen as an assay...
