A rapid and sensitive colorimetric detection method for the determination of Hg2+has been successfully developed in this research. Citrate−functionalized silver nanotriangles (AgTrngs) were synthesized via one−pot sodium borohydride method with the edge−length range of 30 − 40 nm. The obtained AgTrngs were fully characterized using UV−Vis spectrophotometry, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersed spectroscopy (EDS) and X−ray diffractometer. The efficiency of the developed sensor was optimum at pH= 8 due to interfering effect of H+ions for Hg2+under acidic conditions. The successful detection of mercury in aqueous solutions in the concentration range of 10 nmol L−1–50 μmol L−1indicated the applicability of the developed sensor for effective monitoring and controlling the level of Hg2+in industrial effluents. The ability of Hg2+ion to interact with Ag and form the Hg−Ag alloy (amalgam) over the surface of AgTrngs resulted in an obvious color change from blue to violet. UV−Vis spectrophotometry showed that the sensor has the limit of detection (LOD) value of as low as 4 nmol L−1which was below the safety level of Hg2+ions (10 nmol L−1) in drinking water. The proposed method can be used for on−line determination of Hg2+in the complex aqueous solutions.
