Facile synthesis of highly fluorescent gelatin/Si nanocrystals composite thin films for optical detection of amines in water

Abstract

We demonstrate a facile method to prepare gelatin/Si nanocrystal composite thin films via a filtration technique using metal hydroxide nanostrands as a sacrificial layer. This film is free-standing and demonstrates fast and reversible detection of amines in water.
