A microcantilever sensor modified by chitosan/gelatin hydrogels that are doped with benzo-9-crown-3 has been developed for the sensitive and selective detection of beryllium ions in an aqueous solution. The microcantilever undergoes bending deflection upon exposure to Be(2+) due to selective absorption of Be(2+) in the hydrogel. The detection limit is 10(-11) M. Other metal ions, such as Li(+), Na(+), K(+), Mg(2+), and Ca(2+), have a marginal effect on the deflection of the microcantilever. The mechanism of the bending is discussed and the results showed that the microcantilever may be used for in situ detection of beryllium.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 23 March 2018.
All research outputs
#9,714,314
of 30,143,106 outputs
Outputs from Analyst
#1,788
of 7,094 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#77,913
of 273,262 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Analyst
#27
of 144 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 30,143,106 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 66th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 7,094 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.9. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 273,262 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 69% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 144 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its contemporaries.
