A thioether-containing luminescent metal-organic framework for highly selective and sensitive detection of Ag(I) ion

Recent Advancements in Sensing of Silver ions by Different Host Molecules: An Overview (2018-2023)

The chemosensors act as powerful tool in the detection of metal ions due to their simplicity, high sensitivity, low cost, low detection limit, rapid photophysical response, and application to the environmental and medical fields. This review article presents an overview for the chemosensing of Ag+ ions based on Calix, MOF, Nanoparticle, COF, Calix, Electrochemical chemosensor published from 2018 to 2023. Here, we have reviewed the sensing of Ag+ ions and summarised the binding response, mechanism, LOD, colorimetric response, adsorption capacity, technique used. The purpose of this review article to provide a detailed summary of the performance of different host chemosensors that are helpful for providing future direction to researchers on Ag+ ion detection and provides path to design effective chemsosensor (simple to synthesize, cost effective, high sensitivity, with more practical application). While studying the related article literature, we came across some challenges and that has been discussed lastly and provided solutions for them.

Preparation and properties of a dual-function cellulose nanofiber-based bionic biosensor for detecting silver ions and acetylcholinesterase

A dual-function cellulose nanofiber (CNF)-based bionic biosensor with good biocompatibility was developed for detecting Ag⁺ and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) by grafting deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) onto CNF. The Ag⁺ ions captured by the biosensor acted as recognition sites for the detection of AChE. The CNF-based bionic biosensor (CNF-DNA) could detect Ag⁺ concentrations as low as 10^-6 nM in the presence of interference metal ions (Hg²⁺, Ba²⁺, Cd²⁺, Mg²⁺, Mn²⁺, Pb²⁺, and Zn²⁺). DNA-template silver nanoclusters (DNA-AgNCs) were formed on the surface of CNF-DNA during the detection of Ag⁺ (CNF-DNA-AgNCs). This new strategy yielded CNF-DNA-AgNCs through the adsorption of Ag⁺ ions onto the cytosine base of the single-stranded DNA in CNF-DNA without the use of any additional reducer. Meanwhile, the CNF-DNA-AgNCs exhibited excellent sensitivity and selectivity for trace levels (0.053 mU/mL) of AChE in the presence of interference reagents. The novel strategy proposed in this paper may establish a foundation for further research on DNA-template AgNCs for developing biosensors and biomarkers for in vivo and in vitro detection.
