In this study, non-conjugated polyvinylpyrrolidone(PVP) was investigated for the first time as the potential polymeric material to sense nitrate ions by fluorescence spectroscopy. The PVP was diluted into various concentrations (3-10%) and they were used to sense the nitrate ions in different concen...
