Abstract

A highly selective and sensitive colorimetric nanosensor driven by Cu2+ ion for iodide (I-) ion was developed using citrate-capped AgNPs. This assay relied upon the distance-dependent optical properties of AgNPs where Cu2+ was employed as interlinking agent. In the simultaneous presence of I- and Cu2+, the system showed a color change from yellow to colorless that could be monitored using naked-eyes and UV-vis spectrophotometer. The nanosensor exhibited good iodide sensitivity with a detection limit of 0.24 μM. Further, the nanosystem was developed as an AND type logic gate with the inputs of Cu2+ and I-.
