Rapid and accurate detection of hydrogen peroxide (HO) and ascorbic acid (AA) in food industry is critical to human health. Herein, a novel Ce-based polyoxometalate [Ce(HO)][Cu(HO)(2,6-pdca)]H[SiWO]·5HO (Ce-POM) (2,6-Hpdca = 2,6-pyridine-dicarboxylic acid) was designed and loaded onto Cu-based benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate (CuBTC) to obtain Ce-POM/CuBTC, which can catalyze HO to oxidize 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to blue ox-TMB, while AA can reduce ox-TMB. Consequently, a dual-function colorimetric detection system was established with detection limits of 0.45 μM (HO) and 2.63 μM (AA), and linear ranges of 1-80 μM (HO) and 5-400 μM (AA). We further developed a smartphone-assisted paper-based device (PAD) using Ce-POM/CuBTC for on-site detection. Additionally, the mice skin toxicity study showed that Ce-POM/CuBTC had no adverse effects on the skin, body weight and important organs of mice, confirming its good biosafety. The colorimetric system was successfully applied to real sample detection, demonstrating the application potential of rare earth POMs composites in food safety.

Primary agricultural products are closely related to our daily lives, as they serve not only as raw materials for food processing but also as products directly purchased by consumers. These products face the issue of freshness decline and spoilage during both production and consumption. Freshness degradation induces sensory deterioration and nutritional loss and promotes harmful substance accumulation, causing gastrointestinal issues or even endangering life.

The quantification of orthophosphate is essential for applications like water quality assessment, soil fertility analysis, metabolic monitoring and enzyme activity evaluation. Chemical quantification methods include the reaction between orthophosphate and molybdate under acidic conditions to form 12-molybdophosphoric acid units, which auto-assembles forming nanometer size particles. The adsorption of malachite green to these nanoparticles allows their spectrophotometric detection constituting one of the most widely used methods to quantify phosphate.

Current colorimetric sensing arrays for antioxidant detection often struggle with discrimination due to cross-reactive signals from individual nanozymes. These signals are typically modulated by external factors such as pH or chromogenic substrates, offering limited kinetic and mechanistic diversity. To overcome this, we present a novel triple-channel colorimetric sensing array utilizing two distinct single-atom nanozymes (Cu SA and Fe SA) and one dual-atom nanozyme (CuFe DA).

Cellulose is the most abundant renewable biomass resource on Earth, with good biodegradability and biocompatibility. In this study, a novel cellulose-based near-infrared fluorescent probe MN@NIR for ClO detection was developed by amination modification of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), followed by the introduction of naphthalimide fluorophores and dicyanoisophorone groups. The probe MN@NIR exhibits excellent fluorescence properties with dual-emission peaks at 543 nm and 690 nm, the latter falling within the near-infrared (NIR) window.
