Description Here we report the efficacy of the photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy for novel detection of as low as 0.0001 to as high as 0.01 ppm of Cd2+ and Pb2+ ions in simulated wastewater solution. The solution comprises of 20 mg of layered graphene oxide (GO)-Mg(OH)(2) nanocomposite (LGOMHNC) powders in 100 ml of DI water. The LGOMHNC powders, synthesized by facile wet chemical route, are characterized by XRD, FESEM, TEM, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, TGA-DTA, XPS and especially, the PL spectroscopy techniques. After adsorption of Cd2+ and Pb2+ ions, the novel LGOMHNC powders exhibit significant enhancement of the corresponding PL intensities as compared to those of the as-synthesized LGOMHNC powders. These results suggest that PL spectroscopy can indeed emerge as a very important tool for detection of even 0.0001 ppm of Cd2+ and Pb2+ ions in simulated wastewater. In addition, the novel LGOMHNC powders developed in the present work can have huge application potential in futuristic, optical sensor-based detection of the toxic, heavy metal ions like Cd2+ and Pb2+.
