Deciphering the Mechanism of Carbon Dots toward Sequential Detection of Mercury and <scp>l</scp> -Cysteine: Excitation Wavelength Matters
quenching and l-cysteine-mediated recovery. Overall, the obtained results on CDs establish a direct correlation between excitation-dependent photophysical properties and sensing mechanisms, providing a rational framework for the design of wavelength-dependent metal-ion detection and live-cell imaging applications.
