Silica and graphene mediate arsenic detection in mature rice grain by a newly patterned current–volt aptasensor

Abstract Arsenic is a major global threat to the ecosystem. Here we describe a highly accurate sensing platform using silica nanoparticles/graphene at the surface of aluminum interdigitated electrodes (Al IDE), able to detect trace amounts of arsenic(III) in rice grain samples. The morphology and el...
