Abstract

Rare earth elements are essential in many real-life applications, but their steady supply is being affected by multiple challenges. The recycling of lanthanides from electronic and other waste is thus gaining momentum which makes the detection of lanthanides with high sensitivity and selectivity a critical area of research. We now report a paper-based photoluminescent sensor for the rapid detection of terbium and europium with low detection limit (nM), which has the potential to facilitate recycling processes.
