Motivated by the importance of Hg2+ detection in water due to its harmful effect on environment and human health, we investigated a recently developed nanocomposite based carbon dots (CDs) LAPONITE as an optical chemical sensor using photoluminescence emission. While several studies have reported CDs' emission, there is lack in-depth investigation into quenching mechanisms involved turn-off sensors. In this study, propose Stern–Volmer analysis at three different temperatures (288, 298, 303 K). The results indicated selectivity for over that other evaluated metal. optimum range was found be 1–40 μM, with limits quantification 2.5 8.3 respectively. Using models, static dominates collisional quenching, possibly complexation between nanocomposite's carboxylate groups Hg2+. Additionally, modified model, which accounts fractional accessibility fluorophores quenchers, suggests some parts are inaccessible quencher.
