Article Abstract

Film-based fluorescent sensor DIP@CP was developed by incorporating the organic fluorophore DIP into a chitosan-polyvinyl alcohol (CS-PVA, CP) composite film. The sensor enabled selective and quantitative fluoride ion detection through dual-mode colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescent responses, facilitated by DIP's favorable photophysical properties including near-infrared emission and large Stokes shift (>139 nm), which effectively reduced background interference. The detection mechanism relied on a specific F-triggered Si-O cleavage, ensuring high selectivity. The composite film design enhanced portability for field applications, whereas integration with smartphone technology allowed for visual F detection by RGB analysis. Practical applications were successfully demonstrated in monitoring fluoride levels in diverse real-world samples, including water and commercial toothpaste samples.

This work presents the development of a highly sensitive, selective, and efficient aptamer-based fluorescent sensor for detecting cortisol in human urine. Carbon quantum dots-nucleic acid aptamer (CQDs-Apt) synthesized with excellent photoluminescent properties and stability, were selected as the fluorescent probe. In the presence of MoS-NSs, CQDs-Apt adsorbed onto the surface of MoS-NSs via electrostatic and π-π interactions, leading to strong and rapid fluorescence quenching due to static quenching mechanism between them.

Current detection methods for often suffer from lengthy procedures, significant technical limitations, high probe costs, and poor long-term storage stability. Herein, an "on-off-on" fluorescent probe is developed based on mannose-lectin recognition for the rapid and quantitative detection of . The probe utilizes mannose-grafted carbon dots (g-CDs-M), which specifically recognize through interaction with lectins on its surface.

The long-term visualization of intracellular Fe dynamics and lysosomal activity is crucial for investigating the physiological roles and functions of lysosomes during the growth of organisms. The lysosome-targeted fluorescent probe (RBH-EdC), derived from rhodamine-nucleoside conjugates, demonstrates a sophisticated dual-activation design: one is Fe⁺ response, triggering spirolactam ring-opening to form xanthine structures, resulting in ≥ 1000-fold fluorescence enhancement with visible colorimetric transition (colorless→pink). Another is pH sensitivity, demonstrating protonation-dependent fluorescence amplification at the dC at site N3 (pK= 2.

A nanozyme-mediated cascade reaction system for fluorometric and colorimetric dual-mode detection of sarcosine (SA) was developed. The nanozymes (Zn-Glu@Hemin) were synthesized via a rapid self-assembly within 10 min at room temperature. Importantly, the Zn-Glu@Hemin exhibited strong peroxidase (POD)-mimicking activity, catalyzing the generation of hydroxyl radical (·OH) and superoxide anion (O) from hydrogen peroxide (HO), enhancing the fluorescence reaction of o-phenylenediamine (OPD) and the colorimetric reaction of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB).
