Abstract
Hazardous lead ions (Pb2+) even at a minute level can pose side effects on human health, highlighting the need for tools for trace Pb2+ detection. Herein, we present a DNAzyme-activated CRISPR assay (termed DzCas12T) for sensitive and one-pot detection of lead contamination. Using an extension-bridged strategy eliminates the need for separation to couple the DNAzyme recognition and CRISPR reporting processes. The tandem design endowed the DzCas12T assay with high specificity and sensitivity down to the pM-level. This assay has been used to detect lead contamination in food and water samples, indicating the potential for monitoring lead-associated environmental and food safety.

A near-infrared fluorescent ratiometric probe with large Stokes shift for multi-mode sensing of Pb 2+ and bioimaging. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 469:133968. [PMID: 38452682 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.133968] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2023] [Revised: 03/03/2024] [Accepted: 03/04/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024]
Abstract
Pb2+ is a heavy metal ion pollutant that poses a serious threat to human health and ecosystems. The conventional methods for detecting Pb2+ have several limitations. In this study, we introduce a novel fluorescent probe that enables the detection of Pb2+ in the near-infrared region, free from interference from other common ions. A unique characteristic of this probe is its ability to rapidly and accurately identify Pb2+ through ratiometric measurements accompanied by a large Stokes shift of 201 nm. The limit of detection achieved by probe was remarkably low, surpassing the standards set by the World Health Organization, and outperforming previously reported probes. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first organic small-molecule fluorescent probe with both near-infrared emission and ratiometric properties for the detection of Pb2+. We present a triple-mode sensing platform constructed using a probe that allows for the sensitive and selective recognition of Pb2+ in common food items. Furthermore, we successfully conducted high-quality fluorescence imaging of Pb2+ in various samples from common edible plants, HeLa cells, Caenorhabditis elegans, and mice. Importantly, the probe-Pb2+ complex exhibited tumour-targeting capabilities. Overall, this study presents a novel approach for the development of fluorescent probes for Pb2+ detection.

Abstract
Controlling the progression of contagious diseases is crucial for public health management, emphasizing the importance of early viral infection diagnosis. In response, lateral flow assays (LFAs) have been successfully utilized in point-of-care (POC) testing, emerging as a viable alternative to more traditional diagnostic methods. Recent advancements in virus detection have primarily leveraged methods such as reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), reverse transcription-loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP), and the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Despite their proven effectiveness, these conventional techniques are often expensive, require specialized expertise, and consume a significant amount of time. In contrast, LFAs utilize nanomaterial-based optical sensing technologies, including colorimetric, fluorescence, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), offering quick, straightforward analyses with minimal training and infrastructure requirements for detecting viral proteins in biological samples. This review describes the composition and mechanism of and recent advancements in LFAs for viral protein detection, categorizing them into colorimetric, fluorescent, and SERS-based techniques. Despite significant progress, developing a simple, stable, highly sensitive, and selective LFA system remains a formidable challenge. Nevertheless, an advanced LFA system promises not only to enhance clinical diagnostics but also to extend its utility to environmental monitoring and beyond, demonstrating its potential to revolutionize both healthcare and environmental safety.

Abstract
Iron, an essential trace element exhibits detrimental effects on human health when present at higher or lower concentration than the required. Therefore, there is a pressing demand for sensitive and selective detection of Fe3+ in water, food etc. Unfortunately, in several instances, the traditional approaches suffer from a number of shortcomings like complicated procedures, limited sensitivity, poor selectivity and more expensive and time consuming. The scope of optical tuning and excellent photophysical properties of carbon- based nanomaterials like carbon dots (C-dots) and graphene dots (g-dots) have made them promising optical sensors of metal ions. Moreover, high surface area, superior stability of such materials contributes towards the fruitful development of sensors. The present review offered critical information on the fabrication and fluorimetric applications of these functional nanomaterials for sensitive and selective detection of Fe3+. An in-depth discussion on fluorescent C-dots made from naturally occurring materials and chemical techniques were presented. Effect of doping in C-dots was also highlighted in terms of improved fluorescence response and selectivity. In a similar approach g-dots were also discussed. Many of these sensors exhibited great selectivity, superior sensitivity, high quantum yield, robust chemical and photochemical stability and real-time applicability. Further improvement in these factors can be targeted to develop new sensors.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 911:168708. [PMID: 37992834 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.168708] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2023] [Revised: 11/17/2023] [Accepted: 11/17/2023] [Indexed: 11/24/2023]
Abstract
Freshwater lead pollution has posed severe threat to the environment and human health, underscoring the urgent necessity for accurate and user-friendly detection methods. Herein, we introduce a novel Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR-Cas) sensor for highly sensitive Pb2+ detection. To accomplish this, we designed a dual-functional deoxyribozyme (df-DNAzyme) probe that functions as an activator for the CRISPR-Cas12a system while also recognizing Pb2+. The df-DNAzyme probe was subsequently combined with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to fabricate a DNAzyme/AuNP nanoprobe, facilitating the activation of CRISPR-Cas12a in a one-to-multiple manner. Upon exposure to Pb2+, the df-DNAzyme is cleaved, causing disintegration of the DNAzyme/AuNP nanoprobe from magnetic beads. The degraded DNAzyme/AuNP containing multiple double-stranded DNA activators efficiently triggers CRISPR-Cas12a activity, initiating cleavage of fluorescence-quenched reporter DNA and generating amplified signals accordingly. The amplified fluorescence signal is accurately quantified using a quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) instrument capable of measuring 96 or 384 samples simultaneously at the microliter scale. This technique demonstrates ultra-sensitive detection capability for Pb2+ at concentrations as low as 1 pg/L within a range from 1 pg/L to 10 μg/L, surpassing limits set by World Health Organization (WHO) and United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) guidelines. This study offers an ultrasensitive and high-throughput method for the detection of Pb2+ in freshwater, thereby advancing a novel approach towards the development of precise and convenient techniques for detecting harmful contaminants.

Abstract
Lead-based perovskites are highly susceptible to environmental influences, and their application in analytical chemistry, especially in aqueous solution, has been reported rarely. All-inorganic lead-free metal halide perovskites have been considered as a substitute for lead-based perovskites. Herein, a Cs2RbTbCl6 perovskite microcrystal (PMCs), which emits strong yellow-green fluorescence with a maximum emission wavelength at 547 nm, was for the first time synthesized and characterized. The Cs2RbTbCl6 PMCs could be well dispersed in N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMF), and its fluorescence could be significantly enhanced by the addition of norfloxacin (NOR) in the aqueous solution. We found that the Cs2RbTbCl6 PMCs can be used as fluorescent probes (excitation, 365 nm; emission, 547 nm) to selectively detect NOR in a concentration range from 10.0 to 200.0 μM with the limit of detection (LOD) being 0.04 μM. The Cs2RbTbCl6 PMCs could also be adsorbed on filter paper to fabricate as a fluorescent test paper for visual detection of NOR under 365-nm ultraviolet (UV) lamp irradiation. The proposed method has the potential to establish a new analytical method to visualize the detection of NOR in aqueous environments and also promotes the application of all-inorganic lead-free perovskites for analytical detection in aqueous environments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Zinc Gluconate (ZG) is a safe and effective supplement for zinc. However, there is limited research on the optimal dosage for intravenous injection and the safety evaluation of animal models for ZG. This study aims to determine the safe dose range of ZG for intravenous injection in C57BL/6J mice. METHODS A Dose titration experiment was conducted to determine the LD50 and 95% confidence interval (95%CI) of ZG in mice. Based on the LD50, four sub-lethal doses (SLD) of ZG were evaluated. Following three injections of each SLD and monitoring for seven days, serum zinc levels were measured, and pathological changes in the liver, kidney, and spleen tissues of mice were determined by histological staining. RESULTS The dose titration experiment determined the LD50 of ZG in mice to be 39.6 mg/kg, with a 95%CI of 31.8-49.3 mg/kg. There was a statistically significant difference in the overall serum zinc levels (H = 36.912, P < 0.001) following SLD administration. Pairwise comparisons showed that the serum zinc levels of the 1/2 LD50 and 3/4 LD50 groups were significantly higher than those of the control group (P < 0.001); the serum zinc level of the 3/4 LD50 group was significantly higher than those of the 1/8 LD50 and 1/4 LD50 groups (P < 0.05). There was a positive correlation between the different SLDs of ZG and the serum zinc levels in mice (rs = 0.973, P < 0.001). H&E staining showed no significant histological abnormalities or lesions in the liver, kidney, and spleen tissues of mice in all experimental groups. CONCLUSION The appropriate dose range of ZG for intravenous injection in C57BL/6J mice was clarified, providing a reference for future experimental research.

Abstract
In light of potential risks of heavy metal exposure, diverse aptasensors have been developed through the combination of aptamers with nanomaterials for the timely and efficient detection of metals in environmental and biological matrices. Aptamer-based sensors can benefit from multiple merits such as heightened sensitivity, facile production, uncomplicated operation, exceptional specificity, enhanced stability, low immunogenicity, and cost-effectiveness. This review highlights the detection capabilities of nanomaterial-based aptasensors for heavy-metal and metalloid ions based on their performance in terms of the basic quality assurance parameters (e.g., limit of detection, linear dynamic range, and response time). Out of covered studies, dendrimer/CdTe@CdS QDs-based ECL aptasensor was found as the most sensitive option with an LOD of 2.0 aM (atto-molar: 10-18 M) detection for Hg2+. The existing challenges in the nanomaterial-based aptasensors and their scientific solutions are also discussed.

Abstract
Food additives have become a critical component in the food industry. They are employed as preservatives to decelerate the negative effects of environmental and microbial factors on food quality. Currently, food additives are used for a variety of purposes, including colorants, flavor enhancers, nutritional supplements, etc., owing to improvements in the food industry. Since the usage of food additives has increased dramatically, the efficient monitoring of their acceptable levels in food products is quite necessary to mitigate the problems associated with their inappropriate use. The traditional methods used for detecting food additives are generally based on standard spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques. However, these analytical techniques are limited by their high instrumentation cost and time-consuming procedures. The emerging field of nanotechnology has enabled the development of highly sensitive and specific sensors to analyze food additives in a rapid manner. The current article emphasizes the need to detect various food additives owing to their potential negative effects on humans, animals, and the environment. In this article, the role of nanomaterials in the optical sensing of food additives has been discussed owing to their high accuracy, ease-of-use, and excellent sensitivity. The applications of nanosensors for the detection of various food additives have been elaborated with examples. The current article will assist policymakers in developing new rules and regulations to mitigate the adverse effects of toxic food additives on humans and the environment. In addition, the prospects of nanosensors for the optical detection of food additives at a commercial scale have been discussed to combat their irrational use in the food industry.

Abstract
Water pollution caused by harmful heavy metal ions (HMIs) can significantly impact aquatic ecosystems and pose a high risk to human health. In this work, equipped with ultra-high fluorescence brightness, efficient energy transfer, and environmentally friendly performance, polymer dots (Pdots) were employed to construct a pattern recognition fluorescent HMIs detection platform. A single-channel unary Pdots differential sensing array was first developed to identify multiple HMIs with 100% classification accuracy. Then an "all-in-one" multiple Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) Pdots differential sensing platform was constructed to discriminate HMIs in the artificial polluted water samples and actual water samples, exhibiting high classification accuracy in distinguishing HMIs. The proposed strategy leverages the compounded cumulative differential variation of diverse sensing channels for analytes, which is anticipated to find extensive applications in other fields for detection purposes.

Abstract
Wastewater containing toxic substances is a major threat to the health of both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. In order to treat wastewater, nanomaterials are currently being studied intensively due to their unprecedented properties. The unique features of nanoparticles are prompting an increasing number of studies into their use in wastewater treatment. Although several studies have been undertaken in recent years, most of them did not focus on some of the nanomaterials that are now often utilized for wastewater treatment. It is essential to investigate the most recent advances in all the types of nanomaterials that are now frequently employed for wastewater treatment. The recent advancements in common nanomaterials used for sustainable wastewater treatment is comprehensively reviewed in this paper. This paper also thoroughly assesses unique features, proper utilization, future prospects, and current limitations of green nanotechnology in wastewater treatment. Zero-valent metal and metal oxide nanoparticles, especially iron oxides were shown to be more effective than traditional carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for recovering heavy metals in wastewater. Iron oxide achieved 75.9% COD (chemical oxygen demand) removal efficiency while titanium oxide (TiO2) achieved 75.5% COD. Iron nanoparticles attained 72.1% methyl blue removal efficiency. However, since only a few types of nanomaterials have been commercialized, it is important to also focus on the economic feasibility of each nanomaterial. This study found that the large surface area, high reactivity, and strong mechanical properties of nanoparticles means they can be considered as a promising option for successful wastewater treatment.

Abstract
We developed a paper-based colorimetric sensor for facile and cost-effective detection of Pb2+ in drinking and environmental water samples. The Pb2+ ion-selective optodes are fabricated by inkjet printing of ionophore, chromoionophore, and ion exchanger on cellulose paper. Pb2+ in water samples induces deprotonation of the pH chromoionophore and changes the optode color, which is acquired and analyzed by a smartphone. The paper-based optode without any plasticizer or polymer has a dynamic range and selectivity comparable to those of traditional optodes using PVC polymer and/or plasticizer. Furthermore, the response time of the plasticizer/polymer-free paper-based optode is much shorter than those of plasticized PVC-based optodes on paper and glass (5 min vs. 15 and 50 min). Moreover, the plasticizer/polymer-free optode preserves the water-wicking capability of porous cellulose paper, allowing for the design of pump-free microfluidic devices. Chloramine, a widely used disinfectant in drinking water, was found to be a strong and generic interference species for heavy metal ion detection via ion-selective optodes. A fully inkjet-printed lateral-flow paper-based device consisting of a sodium thiosulfate-based chloramine elimination zone and a plasticizer/polymer-free sensing zone was designed for Pb2+ detection in tap water disinfected by chloramine. The dynamic range of the Pb2+ sensor may be shifted from the current 10-6 to 10-5 M to lower concentrations by using stronger ionophores, but this work lays a foundation for the design of paper-based heavy metal ion sensors without detrimental interference from disinfectants.

Abstract
Lead ions in water are harmful to human health and ecosystems because of their high toxicity and nondegradability. It is important to explore effective fluorescence probes for Pb2+ detection. In this work, surface-functionalized molybdenum disulfide quantum dots (MoS2 QDs) were prepared using a hydrothermal method, and ammonium tetrathiomolybdate and glutathione were used as precursors. The photoluminescence quantum yield of MoS2 QDs can be improved to 20.4%, which is higher than that for MoS2 QDs reported in current research. The as-prepared MoS2 QDs demonstrate high selectivity and sensitivity for Pb2+ ions, and the limit of detection is 0.056 μM. The photoluminescence decay dynamics for MoS2 QDs in the presence of Pb2+ ions in different concentrations indicate that the fluorescence quenching originated from nonradiative electron transfer from excited MoS2 QDs to the Pb2+ ion. The prepared MoS2 QDs have great prospect and are expected to become a good method for lead ion detection.

Abstract
Lead contamination has posed a potential threat to the environment and food safety, arousing extensive concern. In this work, we fabricated a novel fluorescent sensing platform based on zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) and DNAzyme for monitoring Pb2+ in water and fish samples. ZIF-8 was proposed as a fluorescence quencher with the advantages of simple synthesis, low cost, and high quenching efficiency. The Pb2+-dependent GR5 DNAzyme containing the large ssDNA loop can be adsorbed onto ZIF-8 accompanied by fluorescence quenching. Upon binding with Pb2+, GR5 DNAzyme was activated and cleaved, leading to the release of FAM-labeled 5-base ssDNA, which restored the fluorescence. The "turn-on" assay can detect Pb2+ through the one-pot procedure in the range of 0.01-10.0 nM with a detection limit of 7.1 pM. The platform is promising for on-site monitoring of Pb2+ owing to the excellent performance of high sensitivity, low background, strong anti-interference ability, and simple operation.

Abstract
A switchable fluorescence sensor based on a calix (Monapathi et al., 2021) [4]arene:Cu2+ complex (FLCX/Cu) has been developed for the detection of itraconazole (ITZ) with high sensitivity and specificity. For the development of the sensor, the selective complexation of a fluorescent calix (Monapathi et al., 2021) [4]arene derivative (FL-CX) with the Cu2+ ion causing fluorescence quenching was utilized. In addition, the sensor properties of the FLCX/Cu prepared were investigated. For this purpose, various substances (selected anions, cations, and drugs) with which ITZ can be found together were studied in an aqueous solution. Limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) values were determined in the range of 1.00-60.0 μg/L as 3.34 μg/L and 11.1 μg/L for ITZ, respectively. Moreover, the real sample analyses were performed in human serum and tablet form. Furthermore, the effect of some possible serum contents on sensor performance was also studied. All these studies confirmed the development of a simple, precise, accurate, reproducible, highly sensitive, and very stable fluorescence sensor.

Abstract
Fabricating novel biosensing constructs with high sensitivity and selectivity is highly demanded in food contaminants detection. In this prospect, various nanostructured materials were envisaged to build (bio)sensors with superior sensitivity and selectivity. The desirable biocompatibility, brilliant mechanical strength, ease of surface functionalization, as well as tunable optical and electronic features, portray 2D MXenes as versatile scaffolds for biosensing. In this review, we overviewed the state-of-the-art MXenes-based optical biosensing devices to detect mycotoxins, pesticide residues, antibiotic residues, and food borne-pathogens from foodstuff and environmental matrices. Firstly, the synthesis methods and surface functionalization/modification of MXenes are discussed. Secondly, according to the target analytes, we categorized and presented a detailed account of the newest research progress of MXenes-based optical probes for food contaminants monitoring. The efficiency of all the surveyed probes was assessed on the basis of important factors like response time, detection limit (DL), and sensing range. Lastly, the necessity and requirements for future advances in this emerging MXenes material are also given, followed by challenges and opportunities. We hope that this study will bridge the gap between nanotechnology and food science, offering insights for engineers or scientists in both areas to accelerate the progress of MXenes-based materials for food safety detection.

Abstract
Currently, there is a great demand for simple, sensitive, and accurate sensors for aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) in dairy products. In the present research, a novel fluorescent immunosensor based on nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (CQDs) has been developed for AFM1 analysis. The N-doped CQDs were synthesized through the hydrothermal approach using citric acid and polyethyleneimine as precursors. The CQDs showed bright blue emission under ultraviolet light irradiation and a maximum emission was observed at 450 nm upon excitation at 350 nm. The anti-AFM1 antibody (Ab) was immobilized on the as-obtained amine-functionalized CQDs and the obtained CQDs/Ab probe was then directly used for developing the immunoassays for AFM1. The fluorescence of the CQDs/Ab solution was effectively quenched in the presence of increasing AFM1 concentrations. Under the optimized conditions, the fluorescent nanosensor exhibited high sensitivity towards AFM1 in the range of 0.2-0.8 ng/mL with low limit of detection i.e., 0.07 ng/mL in standard buffer. Furthermore, the CQDs/Ab immunosensor was developed as a lateral flow design for detecting the aflatoxin residues in milk. This strategy can be used for the development of low-cost, rapid, and highly sensitive sensor strips for the detection of AFM1 in dairy products.

Abstract
Aflatoxins are the hepatotoxic secondary metabolites which are highly carcinogenic and known to cause several adverse effects on human health. The present study reports a simple, sensitive, and novel electrochemical sensor for aflatoxin M1 (AFM1). The sensor has been fabricated by modifying the screen-printed carbon electrodes with a functional nanocomposite of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) quantum dots (QDs) and a zirconium-based metal-organic framework (MOF), that is, UiO-66-NH2. The MoS2/UiO-66-modified electrodes were decorated with the AFM1-specific monoclonal antibodies and then investigated for the electrochemical detection of AFM1. Based on the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis, it was possible to detect AFM1 in the concentration range of 0.2-10 ng mL-1 with a limit of detection of 0.06 ng mL-1. The realization of an excellent sensing performance can be attributed to the electroactivity of MoS2 QDs and the large surface to volume area achieved by the addition of the MOF. The presence of UiO-66-NH2 is also useful to attain readily available amine functionality for the robust interfacing of antibodies. The performance of the developed sensor has also been validated by detecting AFM1 in the spiked milk samples.

Abstract
Although great headway has been made in DNAzyme-based detection of Pb2+, its adaptability, sensitivity, and accessibility in complex media still need to be improved. For this, we introduce new ways to surmount these hurdles. First, a spherical nucleic acid (SNA) fluorescence probe (Au nanoparticles-DNAzyme probe) is utilized to specifically identify Pb2+ and its suitability for precise detection of Pb2+ in complex samples due to its excellent nuclease resistance. Second, the sensitivity of Pb2+ detection is greatly enhanced via the use of a clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-Cas12a with target recognition accuracy to amplify the fluorescent signal upon the trans cleavage of the SNA (signal probe), and the limit of detection reaches as low as 86 fM. Third, we boost the fluorescence on photonic crystal chips with a bionic periodic arrangement by employing a straightforward detection device (smartphone and portable UV lamp) to achieve on-site detection of Pb2+ with the limit of detection as low as 24 pM. Based on the abovementioned efforts, the modified Pb2+ fluorescence sensor has the advantages of higher sensitivity, better specificity, accessibility, less sample consumption, and so forth. Moreover, it can be applied to accurately detect Pb2+ in complex biological or environmental samples, which is of great promise for widespread applications.

Fluorescent-based nanosensors for selective detection of a wide range of biological macromolecules: A comprehensive review. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 206:115-147.

Abstract
Thanks to their unique attributes, such as good sensitivity, selectivity, high surface-to-volume ratio, and versatile optical and electronic properties, fluorescent-based bioprobes have been used to create highly sensitive nanobiosensors to detect various biological and chemical agents. These sensors are superior to other analytical instrumentation techniques like gas chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography, and capillary electrophoresis for being biodegradable, eco-friendly, and more economical, operational, and cost-effective. Moreover, several reports have also highlighted their application in the early detection of biomarkers associated with drug-induced organ damage such as liver, kidney, or lungs. In the present work, we comprehensively overviewed the electrochemical sensors that employ nanomaterials (nanoparticles/colloids or quantum dots, carbon dots, or nanoscaled metal-organic frameworks, etc.) to detect a variety of biological macromolecules based on fluorescent emission spectra. In addition, the most important mechanisms and methods to sense amino acids, protein, peptides, enzymes, carbohydrates, neurotransmitters, nucleic acids, vitamins, ions, metals, and electrolytes, blood gases, drugs (i.e., anti-inflammatory agents and antibiotics), toxins, alkaloids, antioxidants, cancer biomarkers, urinary metabolites (i.e., urea, uric acid, and creatinine), and pathogenic microorganisms were outlined and compared in terms of their selectivity and sensitivity. Altogether, the small dimensions and capability of these nanosensors for sensitive, label-free, real-time sensing of chemical, biological, and pharmaceutical agents could be used in array-based screening and in-vitro or in-vivo diagnostics. Although fluorescent nanoprobes are widely applied in determining biological macromolecules, unfortunately, they present many challenges and limitations. Efforts must be made to minimize such limitations in utilizing such nanobiosensors with an emphasis on their commercial developments. We believe that the current review can foster the wider incorporation of nanomedicine and will be of particular interest to researchers working on fluorescence technology, material chemistry, coordination polymers, and related research areas.

Abstract
AbstractPolyindole is considered an excellent conducting polymer with interested properties for different applications. A novel polyindole (PIn)/CuInS (CIS)/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) nanocomposite was synthesized via in situ polymerization of PIn in presence of CIS/ZnS QDs. By investigating the effect of CIS/ZnS QDs on optical properties of PIn, it was found that the optical band gaps of PIn, CIS/ZnS QDs, and PIn/CIS/ZnS QDs nanocomposite were 3.24 eV, 4.68 eV and 3.44 eV, respectively. From the luminance spectra, it was observed that emission peaks of PIn at 442 and 468 nm are independent of the excitation wavelength with the highest intensity at excitation wavelength of 380 nm. However, the luminance spectrum of PIn/CIS/ZnS QDs nanocomposite exhibited a quenching peak for CIS/ZnS QDs while the intensity of PIn peak was enhanced. High resolution of transmission electron microscope image of CIS/ZnS QDs revealed nanocrystals with a size of 3–4.5 nm and lattice space of 0.2 nm. PIn/CIS/ZnS QDs nanocomposite as the fluorescent probe was employed for sensing different concentrations of Pb2+ from 5 to 50 ppb. The reaction between PIn/CIS/ZnS QDs and Pb2+ was slightly quenched and fixed after 90 min. The emission peak was reduced gradually with increasing concentration of lead via photo-induced electron transfer or ion exchange mechanism. The value of correlation coefficient (R2) was 0.99, the sensitivity was 0.0041 ppb−1 and limit of detection value was 4.48 ppb.

Abstract
Pesticide residue contamination has become an urgent issue since it threatens both the natural environment and public health. In this study, a fluorescent method for detecting dithiocarbamate (DTC) compounds was constructed based on novel nickel nanoclusters (Ni NCs) and copper ions (Cu2+). The water-soluble fluorescent Ni NCs were synthesized for the first time through a one-pot method using glutathione as stabilizer and ascorbic acid as reducing agent. The as-prepared Ni NCs exhibited a maximum fluorescence emission at 445 nm when excited by 380 nm. And they displayed aggregation-induced emission enhancement when ethylene glycol was introduced into the nanocluster aqueous solution. Based on the Ni NCs, a label-free fluorescence quenching sensor was established for sensitive and selective detection of DTC compounds with the assistance of Cu2+. The complex formed by DTC and Cu2+ led to fluorescence quenching of Ni NCs through inner filter effect. The sensing method was successfully applied to two typical DTC compounds, thiram and disulfiram, with good linearity over a wide linear range and a low detection limit. Moreover, the proposed approach was capable of thiram detection in real samples, which confirms the potential of this sensing method as a platform for DTC compound detection.

Abstract
A structural switching in Single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) fluorescence biosensor for quick turn-on/off detection of Pb2+ ions and pesticide was reported. The design strategy of Hex-labelled ssDNA consists of two types of aptamer probe, G-rich base pair sequence forms G-quadruplex confirmation with Pb2+ ions. While other part of base pair sequence exhibits affinity to fold isocarbophos pesticide. MoS2 nanosheets were identified as quick quencher of Hex fluorescence intensity via Vander-Waals interaction and its significance was compared with other nanomaterials. This sensing mechanism proposes a specific affinity of GA-rich ssDNA with Pb2+ to form G-quadruplex via G-Pb2+-G sequences. Consequently, ssDNA relived from MoS2 nanosheets to restore the fluorescence intensity (turn-on). Subsequent addition of pesticide shows stronger affinity towards unfolded aptamer probe to form a random coil like structure. This causes Hex-labelled 5' end closer to the G-quadruplex connected at the 3' end of ssDNA resulting in a remarkable fluorescence quenching (turn-off) owing to PET process. Moreover, the sensing probe (Hex-labelled GA-rich ssDNA) was recycled by introducing acetylcholinesterase enzyme and thiocoline into the reaction mixture. The detection limits of Pb2+ and isocarbophos pesticide was estimated to be 0.6 nM and 0.018 μg/L respectively. Moreover, this study reveals a high sensitivity and selectivity towards target molecules in environmental samples.

Abstract
In this work, the inhibition of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) - CRISPR associated protein (Cas) trans-cleavage by Pb2+-induced G-quadruplex has been firstly explored to detect Pb2+ in tea beverage and milk. In absence of Pb2+, the Na+-induced G-quadruplex can be cleaved by CRISPR-Cas12a. In contrast, Pb2+ can competitively combine with G-quadruplex, resulting in its conformational changes and resistance to trans-cleavage of CRISPR-Cas12a. Therefore, the fluorescence resonance energy transfer can happen. Pb2+ can be detected in a linear range from 100 nM to 5 µM with a lowest detection limit of 2.6 nM and a relative standard deviation of 4.32%. In summary, this work not only provides a new method for Pb2+ detection based on its induced G-quadruplex inhibition on CRISPR-Cas12a trans-cleavage, but also broadens the application of CRISPR-Cas system for heavy metal analysis in the field of food safety.

Abstract
Owing to the unique optophysical properties of nanomaterials and their self-calibration characteristics, nanomaterial-based (e.g., polymer dots (Pdots) quantum dots (QDs), silicon nanorods (SiNRs), and gold nanoparticle (AuNPs), etc.) ratiometric fluorescent sensors play an essential role in numerous biosensing and cell imaging applications. The dual-emission ratiometric fluorescence technique has the function of effective internal referencing, thereby avoiding the influence of various analyte-independent confounding factors. The sensitivity and precision of the detection can therefore be greatly improved. In this review, the recent progress in nanomaterial-based dual-emission ratiometric fluorescent biosensors is systematically summarized. First, we introduce two general design approaches for dual-emission ratiometric fluorescent sensors, involving ratiometric fluorescence with changes of one response signal and two reversible signals. Then, some recent typical examples of nanomaterial-based dual-emission ratiometric fluorescent biosensors are illustrated in detail. Finally, probable challenges and future outlooks for dual-emission ratiometric fluorescent nanosensors for biosensing and cell imaging are rationally discussed.

Abstract
A novel amine-functionalized silica quantum dots (SiQDs) fluorescent nanoprobe was developed for sensing of lead concentration in water, plasma and cell lysate. In addition, the developed probe was utilized for bioimaging of intracellular lead ions in HT 29 cancer cells. The amine-functionalized nanoprobe exhibited fluorescence emission at 445 nm under excitation at 355 nm. Upon addition of lead ions, the fluorescence of SiQDs linearly enhanced from 50 ng/mL to 5 µg/mL and 50 ng/mL to 25 µg/mL for plasma and standard media, respectively. The synthesis and fabrication of this probe are simple and serves high sensitivity with a limit of detection down to around 20 ng/mL. In the presence of various molecular and ion interfering, reliable results are obtained, confirming the specificity of the nanoprobe for lead ion detection. Meanwhile, amine-functionalized SiQD-based nanoprobe exhibits excellent cell membrane-permeability and biocompatibility. Thus, this probe is utilized for lead tracing in HT 29 cancer live cells. Fluorescent microscopy results confirmed the attachment of the produced nanomaterials to the HT 29 cancer cells.

Abstract
New nanocomposites, Fe3O4@Au-FITC, were prepared and explored to develop a fluorescent detection of Pb2+. The Fe3O4@AuNPs-FITC nanocomposites could be etched by Pb2+ in the presence of Na2S2O3, leading to fluorescence recovery of FITC quenched by Fe3O4@Au nanocomposites. With the increase of Pb2+ concentration, the fluorescence recovery of Fe3O4@AuNPs-FITC increased gradually. Under optimized conditions, a detection limit of 5.2 nmol/L of Pb2+ with a linear range of 0.02-2.0 µmol/L were obtained. The assay demonstrated negligible response to common metal ions. Recoveries of 98.2-106.4% were obtained when this fluorescent method was applied in detecting Pb2+ spiked in a lake-water sample. The above results demonstrated the high potential of ion-induced nanomaterial etching in developing robust fluorescent assays.

Abstract
Clean and safe water is a fundamental human need for multi-faceted development of society and a thriving economy. Brisk rises in populations, expanding industrialization, urbanization and extensive agriculture practices have resulted in the generation of wastewater which have not only made the water dirty or polluted, but also deadly. Millions of people die every year due to diseases communicated through consumption of water contaminated by deleterious pathogens. Although various methods for wastewater treatment have been explored in the last few decades but their use is restrained by many limitations including use of chemicals, formation of disinfection by-products (DBPs), time consumption and expensiveness. Nanotechnology, manipulation of matter at a molecular or an atomic level to craft new structures, devices and systems having superior electronic, optical, magnetic, conductive and mechanical properties, is emerging as a promising technology, which has demonstrated remarkable feats in various fields including wastewater treatment. Nanomaterials encompass a high surface to volume ratio, a high sensitivity and reactivity, a high adsorption capacity, and ease of functionalization which makes them suitable for application in wastewater treatment. In this article we have reviewed the techniques being developed for wastewater treatment using nanotechnology based on adsorption and biosorption, nanofiltration, photocatalysis, disinfection and sensing technology. Furthermore, this review also highlights the fate of the nanomaterials in wastewater treatment as well as risks associated with their use.

Abstract
Nanoscience is a multifaceted field which encompasses metal nanoparticles (MNPs) having novel and size-related optical properties significantly different from the bulk level as well as at the atomic level. Amongst noble MNPs, the silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have unique properties for metal interaction. Presently, there have been expedite reports which are taken under the review in virtue of sensing the mercury ions in aqueous media. Mercury dissemination in various forms contaminates the ecosystem. Globally mercury is ranked as the most toxic element and an urgent threat to humans since it causes major health issues. Employing MNPs, especially AgNPs for the detection of mercury ions is the economic, handy and apt method in contrast to time-consuming methods that use expensive instrumentations. The review highlights a study of colorimetric and fluorimetric detection of the level of Hg (II) ions in aqueous media selectively with high sensitivity in different courses of conditions using AgNPs synthesized by various approaches.
