A green route to prepare fluorescent and absorbent nano-hybrid hydrogel for water detection

Abstract An environment-friendly fluorescent nano-hybrid hydrogel has been synthesized successfully, from cellulose nanocrystal (CNC), acrylic acid (AA) and phosphorescent Eu2+/Dy3+ doped SrAl2O4 via free radical polymerization. The hydrogel network matrix fixed Eu2+/Dy3+ doped SrAl2O4 nanoparticles...
