Abstract
Recently, the utilization of metal halide perovskites in sensing and their application in environmental studies have reached a new height. Among the different metal halide perovskites, cesium lead halide perovskites (CsPbX3; X = Cl, Br, and I) and composites have attracted great interest in sensing applications owing to their exceptional optoelectronic properties. Most CsPbX3 nanostructures and composites possess great structural stability, luminescence, and electrical properties for developing distinct optical and photonic devices. When exposed to light, heat, and water, CsPbX3 and composites can display stable sensing utilities. Many CsPbX3 and composites have been reported as probes in the detection of diverse analytes, such as metal ions, anions, important chemical species, humidity, temperature, radiation photodetection, and so forth. So far, the sensing studies of metal halide perovskites covering all metallic and organic-inorganic perovskites have already been reviewed in many studies. Nevertheless, a detailed review of the sensing utilities of CsPbX3 and composites could be helpful for researchers who are looking for innovative designs using these nanomaterials. Herein, we deliver a thorough review of the sensing utilities of CsPbX3 and composites, in the quantitation of metal ions, anions, chemicals, explosives, bioanalytes, pesticides, fungicides, cellular imaging, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), toxic gases, humidity, temperature, radiation, and photodetection. Furthermore, this review also covers the synthetic pathways, design requirements, advantages, limitations, and future directions for this material.

Abstract
Hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] is considered a serious environmental pollutant that possesses a hazardous effect on humans even at low concentrations. Thus, the development of a bifunctional material for ultratrace-selective detection and effective elimination of Cr(VI) from the environment remains highly desirable and scarcely reported. In this work, we explore an imidazolium-appended polyfluorene derivative PF-DBT-Im as a highly sensitive/selective optical probe and a smart adsorbent for Cr(VI) ions with an ultralow detection limit of 1.77 nM and removal efficiency up to 93.7%. In an aqueous medium, PF-DBT-Im displays obvious transformation in its emission color from blue to magenta on exclusively introducing Cr(VI), facilitating naked-eye colorimetric detection. Consequently, a portable sensory device integrated with a smartphone is fabricated for realizing real-time and on-site visual detection of Cr(VI). Besides, the imidazolium groups attached onto side chains of PF-DBT-Im are found to be highly beneficial for achieving selective and efficient elimination of Cr(VI) with capacity as high as 128.71 mg g-1. More interestingly, PF-DBT-Im could be easily regenerated following treatment with KBr and can be recycled at least five times in a row. The main factor behind ultrasensitive response and excellent removal efficiency is found to be anion-exchange-induced formation of a unique ground-state complex between PF-DBT-Im and Cr(VI), as evident by FT-IR, XPS, and simulation studies. Thus, taking advantage of the excellent signal amplification property and rich ion-exchange sites, a dual-functional-conjugated polymer PF-DBT-Im is presented for the concurrent recognition and elimination of Cr(VI) ions proficiently and promptly with great prospects in environmental monitoring and water decontamination.

Abstract
An innovative triple optical sensor is presented that utilizes gold nanoclusters (GNCs) stabilized with ciprofloxacin (CIP) and bovine serum albumin (BSA). The sensor is designed to identify three critical metal ions, namely Cu2+, Al3+, and Hg2+. Under 360 nm excitation, the synthesized CIP-BSA-GNCs demonstrate dual fluorescence emission with peaks at 448 nm (blue) and 612 nm (red). The red emission is associated with the interior of the CIP-BSA-GNCs, whereas the blue emission results from the surface-bound CIP molecules. The sensitive and selective fluorescent nanosensor CIP-BSA-GNCs were employed to detect Cu2+, Al3+, and Hg2+ ions. Cu2+ effectively quenched the fluorescence intensity of the CIP-BSA-GNCs at both peaks via the internal charge transfer mechanism (ICT). Cu2+ could be detected within the concentration range 1.13 × 10-3 to 0.05 µM, with a detection limit of 0.34 nM. Al3+ increased the intensity of CIP fluorescence at 448 nm via the chelation-induced fluorescence enhancement mechanism. The fluorescence intensity of the core CIP-BSA-GNCs at 612 nm was utilized as a reference signal. Thus, the ratiometric detection of Al3+ succeeded with a limit of detection of 0.21 nM within the dynamic range 0.69 × 10-3 to 0.07 µM. Hg2+ effectively quenched the fluorescence intensity of the CIP-BSA-GNCs at 612 nm via the metallophilic interaction mechanism. The fluorescence intensity of CIP molecules at 448 nm was utilized as a reference signal. This allowed for the ratiometric detection of Hg2+ with a detection limit of 0.7 nM within the concentration range 2.3 × 10-3 to 0.1 µM.

Abstract
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a highly toxic mycotoxin which can cause a variety of diseases. Sensitive detection of OTA is significant for food safety. Herein, a feasible and sensitive immunoassay was established for OTA detection by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) triggered gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) turn-on fluorescence. The fluorescence of the AuNCs can be quenched by Cr6+ induced aggregation of AuNCs and the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between AuNCs and Cr6+. Under the catalytic action of ALP-labelled IgG (IgG-ALP), the ascorbic acid 2-phosphate (AA2P) was hydrolyzed to ascorbic acid (AA) for the reducing of Cr6+ to Cr3+. As a result, the degrees of AuNCs aggregation and FRET were weakened and the fluorescence of AuNCs was turned on. The amount of OTA in the sample was negatively correlated with the amount of IgG-ALP captured by anti-OTA monoclonal antibody (McAb) in the microplate. In optimal conditions, the turn-on fluorescence immunoassay had a good linear range of 6.25-100 ng/mL, and the detection limit was 0.693 ng/mL. The recoveries of OTA from corn were 95.89%-101.08% for the fluorescence immunoassay. This work provided a feasible, sensitive and good selectivity fluorescence method for OTA detection.

Abstract
Biothiols, such as cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), and glutathione (GSH), play a vital role in gene expression, maintaining redox homeostasis, reducing damages caused by free radicals/toxins, etc. Likewise, abnormal levels of biothiols can lead to severe diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), neurotoxicity, hair depigmentation, liver/skin damage, etc. To quantify the biothiols in a biological system, numerous low-toxic probes, such as fluorescent quantum dots, emissive organic probes, composited nanomaterials, etc., have been reported with real-time applications. Among these fluorescent probes, carbon-dots (CDs) have become attractive for biothiols quantification because of advantages of easy synthesis, nano-size, crystalline properties, low-toxicity, and real-time applicability. A CDs-based biothiols assay can be achieved by fluorescent "Turn-On" and "Turn-Off" responses via direct binding, metal complex-mediated detection, composite enhanced interaction, reaction-based reports, and so forth. To date, the availability of a review focused on fluorescent CDs-based biothiols detection with information on recent trends, mechanistic aspects, linear ranges, LODs, and real applications is lacking, which allows us to deliver this comprehensive review. This review delivers valuable information on reported carbon-dots-based biothiols assays, the underlying mechanism, their applications, probe/CDs selection, sensory requirement, merits, limitations, and future scopes.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR)-emitting ZnGa2O4:Cr3+ (ZGO) persistent luminescent nanoparticles (PLNPs) have recently attracted considerable attention for diverse optical applications. The widespread use and promising potential of ZGO material in different applications arise from its prolonged post-excitation emission (several minutes to hours) that eliminates the need for continuous in situ excitation and the possibility of its excitation in different spectral regions (X-rays and UV-vis). However, the lack of precise control over particle size/distribution and its poor water dispersibility and/or limited colloidal stability required for certain biological applications are the major bottlenecks that limit its practical applications. To address these fundamental limitations, herein, we have prepared oleic acid (OA)-stabilized ZGO PLNPs with controlled size (7-12 nm, depending on the type of alcohol used in synthesis) and monodispersity. A further increase in size (8-21 nm), with a concomitant increase in persistent luminescence, could be achieved using a seed-mediated approach, employing the as-prepared ZGO PLNPs from the first synthesis as the seed and growing layers of the same material by adding fresh precursors. To remove their surface oleate groups and make the nanoparticles hydrophilic, two surface modification strategies were evaluated: modification with only poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) as the hydrophilic capping agent and modification with either PAA or cysteamine (Cys) as the hydrophilic capping agent in conjunction with BF4- as the intermediate surface modifier. The latter surface modifications involving BF4- conferred long-term (60 days and longer) colloidal stability to the nanoparticles in aqueous media, which is related to their favorable ζ potential values. The proposed generalized strategy could be used to prepare different kinds of surface-functionalized PLNPs with control of size, hydrophilicity, and colloidal stability and enhanced/prolonged persistent luminescence for diverse potential applications.

Abstract
Herein, a novel fluorometric-sensor with dual-emission system was constructed on the basis of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) co-functionalized gold/copper nanoclusters (PVP/MBT-Au@CuNCs) by a facile and eco-friendly one-pot approach. The sensor exhibited ratiometric fluorescence emission (F590 nm/F422 nm) for visual and selective detection of S2- with a sensitive detection limit of 11.9 nM. Besides, fluorescence quenched sensing of S2- was chalked up by a quickly selectivity monitoring time of 30 s, owing to the strongly binding of Cu2S and Au2S by hard-soft-acid-base theory and the destruction of the aggregated structure of PVP/MBT-Au@CuNCs. Furthermore, the platform also provided the portable analysis for visual detection of S2- by capturing the change in fluorescence color with a single dual-emissive ratiometric paper strip. It is worth mentioning that the fluorescent gold-copper nanoclusters showed excellent application activities in the selective detection of S2- in Radix Codonopsis or Tremella samples and recognition of S2- in HeLa cells or macrophages by confocal microscopy fluorescent imaging. Overall, the sensing system paved a new avenue for effectively developing a convenient ratiometric fluorescent sensor platform for evaluating the safety of food with S2- pollution in environment and biological system.

Abstract
Nanodiamond (ND) with nitrogen vacancy (NV-) color centers has emerged as an important material for quantum sensing and imaging. Fluorescent, carboxylated ND (140 nm) is investigated for the detection of dopamine (DA), caffeine (CA), and ascorbic acid (AA). Over a 200 nM range, DA and CA quenched the ND fluorescence by 7.1 and 9.8%, respectively. For AA, fluorescence was quenched (2.9%) at nM concentrations and enhanced at μM concentrations. The quenching fit well to Langmuir adsorption isotherms. For DA-CA mixtures, the CA at nM concentrations did not affect DA quenching but interfered when at μM concentrations. The DA at nM or μM concentrations lessened CA quenching. For DA-AA mixtures with DA at mM concentrations, AA quenched fluorescence throughout the nM and μM range, with increased quenching in the nM range. These studies support ND fluorescence modulation as a possible sensor modality for bioanalyte detection.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) is a unique research topic and property that can lead to a wide range of applications, including cellular imaging, theranostics, analyte quantitation and the specific detection of biologically important species. Towards the development of the AIE-active materials, many aromatic moieties composed of tetraphenylethylene, anthracene, pyrene, etc., have been developed. Among these aromatic moieties, pyrene is an aromatic hydrocarbon with a polycyclic flat structure containing four fused benzene rings to provide an unusual electron delocalization feature that is important in the AIE property. Numerous pyrene-based AIE-active materials have been reported with the AIE property towards sensing, imaging and theranostics applications. Most importantly, these AIE-active pyrene moieties exist as small molecules, Schiff bases, polymers, supramolecules, metal-organic frameworks, etc. This comprehensive review outlines utilizations of AIE-active pyrene-based materials on the imaging and theranostics studies. Moreover, the design and synthesis of these pyrene-based molecules are delivered with discussions on their future scopes.

Abstract
Preparation of water-dispersible carbon dots from inexpensive natural carbon precursors and its application for purposes such as sensing, bio-imaging and patterning agents is showing growing interest in recent years. In this study, we have reported the preparation of nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) using prickly pear as the carbon source and m-xylylenediamine as the nitrogen source using a one-step microwave-assisted synthetic process. The N-CDs prepared were characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, XPS, powder-XRD, FT-IR, Raman, TEM, UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. Doping of nitrogen in the N-CDs made them highly fluorescent and the study on their ion-recognition property revealed that they detect highly toxic Cr(VI) with high selectivity and sensitivity (LOD, 0.04 μM) and without interference from the other ions used in this study. By immobilizing these N-CDs onto filter paper, sensor strips were prepared for on-site monitoring/field applications and they were successfully used for the detection of Cr(VI) in water. Detailed spectral analysis revealed that the mechanism of Cr(VI) sensing involved a phenomenon called the "inner filter effect" and analysis of the fluorescence lifetime data suggested the "static quenching" of fluorescence intensity. These N-CDs were used to prepare fluorescent carbon ink and were successfully used as patterning agents.

Abstract
Diamond electrodes have long been a well-known candidate in electrochemical analyte detection. Nano- and micro-level modifications on the diamond electrodes can lead to diverse analytical applications. Doping of crystalline diamond allows the fabrication of suitable electrodes towards specific analyte monitoring. In particular, boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes have been reported for metal ions, anions, biomolecules, drugs, beverage hazards, pesticides, organic molecules, dyes, growth stimulant, etc., with exceptional performance in discriminations. Therefore, numerous reviews on the diamond electrode-based sensory utilities towards the specified analyte quantifications were published by many researchers. However, reviews on the nanodiamond-based electrodes for metal ions and anions are still not readily available nowadays. To advance the development of diamond electrodes towards the detection of diverse metal ions and anions, it is essential to provide clear and focused information on the diamond electrode synthesis, structure, and electrical properties. This review provides indispensable information on the diamond-based electrodes towards the determination of metal ions and anions.

Abstract
Iohexol (IHO), as one of iodinated X-ray contrast, is often used as not only a chemical marker for tracking wastewater contamination in aquatic environment, but also an ideal glomerular filtration rate marker for explorating kidney disease. To these aims, it is important to establish reliable, fast, and cheap methods to detect IHO in environmental and biological samples. This work describes for the first time the development of a selective, sensitive and reliable colorimetric sensing assay for the fast determination of IHO in environmental and biological samples based on 3-aminophenylboronic acid (3-APBA) mediated aggregation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). In this approach, 3-APBA can assemble on the AuNPs surface through electrostatic interaction between its amino groups with the negatively charged citrate stabilizer of AuNPs to form AuNP@3-APBA. Subsequently, the aggregation and visual color change of the assembled AuNP@3-APBA are induced by the covalent reaction between boronic acid ligands of 3-APBA and cis-diols of IHO. The developed assay presented a very simple operating procedure and a rapid analysis time of around 10 min. The developed assay also exhibited good selectivity and a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.005 mM for detecting IHO. Moreover, the developed assay showed comparable accuracy and precision to the high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector (HPLC-DAD) method when used for the rapid determination of IHO in river water and human urine samples. The recoveries of IHO at three spiking levels were in the range of 91.5-106.3% with relative standard deviation (RSD) values below 6.39%.

A Fluorescent Detection for Paraquat Based on β-CDs-Enhanced Fluorescent Gold Nanoclusters. Foods 2021; 10:foods10061178.

Abstract
In this report, a fluorescent sensing method for paraquat based on gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) is proposed. It was found that paraquat could quench both glutathione-capped AuNCs (GSH-AuNCs) and β-cyclodextrin-modified GSH-AuNCs (GSH/β-CDs-AuNCs). The modification of β-CDs on the surface of GSH-AuNCs obviously enhanced the fluorescence intensity of GSH-AuNCs and improved the sensitivity of paraquat sensing more than 4-fold. This sensibilization was ascribed to the obvious fluorescence intensity enhancement of GSH-AuNCs by β-CDs and the “host–guest” interaction between paraquat and β-CDs. The fluorescence quenching was mainly due to the photoinduced energy transfer (PET) between GSH/β-CDs-AuNCs and paraquat. With the optimized β-CDs modification of the GSH-AuNC surfaces and under buffer conditions, the fluorescent detection for paraquat demonstrated a linear response in the range of 5.0–350 ng/mL with a detection limit of 1.2 ng/mL. The fluorescent method also showed high selectivity toward common pesticides. The interference from metal ions could be easily masked by ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA). This method was applied to the measurement of paraquat-spiked water samples and good recoveries (93.6–103.8%) were obtained. The above results indicate that host molecule modification of fluorescent metal NC surfaces has high potential in the development of robust fluorescent sensors.

Abstract
Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are noted as exceptional candidates towards the detection and removal of specific analytes. MOFs were reported in particular for the detection/removal of environmental contaminants, such as heavy metal ions, toxic anions, hazardous gases, explosives, etc. Among heavy metal ions, mercury has been noted as a global hazard because of its high toxicity in the elemental (Hg0), divalent cationic (Hg2+), and methyl mercury (CH3Hg+) forms. To secure the environment and living organisms, many countries have imposed stringent regulations to monitor mercury at all costs. Regarding the detection/removal requirements of mercury, researchers have proposed and reported all kinds of MOFs-based luminescent/non-luminescent probes towards mercury. This review provides valuable information about the MOFs which have been engaged in detection and removal of elemental mercury and Hg2+ ions. Moreover, the involved mechanisms or adsorption isotherms related to sensors or removal studies are clarified for the readers. Finally, advantages and limitations of MOFs in mercury detection/removal are described together with future scopes.

Abstract
A novel rhodamine-pyridine conjugated spectroscopic probe RhP was synthesized and its X-ray single crystalline properties were revealed with tabulation. The RhP displayed a distinct pale-pink colorimetric and "turn-on" fluorescent response to Fe3+ in aqueous media [H2O:DMSO (95:5, v/v)] than that of other interfering ions. During the Fe3+ recognition, the absorption (UV-Vis) and photoluminescence (PL) spectral studies revealed new peaks at 561 and 592 nm, respectively. The 1:1 stoichiometry and binding sites were verified by Job's plot, ESI-mass, and 1H NMR titrations. Subsequently, LOD and binding constant for RhP + Fe3+ complex were estimated as 102.3 nM and 6.265 × 104 M-1 from linear fitting and Benesi-Hildebrand plots, correspondingly. Sensor reversibility of RhP + Fe3+ by EDTA was demonstrated by UV/PL and TRPL investigations. Moreover, the photoinduced energy transfer mechanism and band gap changes were established from the DFT interrogations. Lastly, cellular imaging studies were carried out to authenticate the real applicability of RhP in Fe3+ detection.

Abstract
In this work, hexacyanoferrate intercalated Ni/Al LDH (Ni/Al-Fe(CN)6 LDH) nanozyme was synthesized by one-pot co-precipitation method and used for determination of chromium in water samples by employing its peroxidase mimicking activity. The synthesized nanozyme can effectively catalyze the oxidation of fluorometric peroxidase substrate terephthalic acid by H2O2 to produce a highly fluorescent product. It was found that Cr(VI) promotes the peroxidase-like activity of Ni/Al-Fe(CN)6 LDH and this effect was intensified by increasing the Cr(VI) concentration. Several variables affecting the fluorescence intensity including the concentration of nanoparticles and reagents as well as reaction time were investigated and optimized. Under the optimal conditions, good linearity was observed in the range of 0.067-10 μM Cr(VI), and limit of detection and quantification were found to be 0.039 and 0.131 μM, respectively. Furthermore, the developed method showed good applicability for the determination of total Cr based on the oxidation of Cr (III) to Cr (VI). The applicability of the proposed method was demonstrated by analyzing various environmental water samples. The presented nanozyme displayed superior benefits in terms of reusability, repeatability, cost and environment-friendly features. The present work aims to expand LDHs based enzyme mimics to optical sensor fields.
