Abstract
The detection of tetracycline antibiotics (TCs) in food holds great significance in minimizing their absorption within the human body. Hence, this study aims to develop a rapid, convenient, real-time, and accurate detection method for detecting antibiotics in an authentic market setting. A colorimetric fluorescence sensor was devised for tetracycline detection utilizing PVA aerogels as the substrate. Its operating principle is based on the IFE effect and antenna effect. A detection device is designed to capture fluorescence images while deep learning was employed to aid in the detection process. The sensor exhibits high responsiveness with a mere 60-s requirement for detection and demonstrates substantial color changes(blue to red), achieving 99% accuracy within the range of 10-100 μM with the assistance of deep learning (Resnet18). Real sample simulation tests yielded recovery rates between 95% and 130%. Overall, the proposed strategy proved to be a simple, portable, reliable, and responsive solution for rapid real-time TCs detection in food samples.

Abstract
Accurate detection of trace tetracyclines (TCs) in complex matrices is of great significance for food and environmental safety monitoring. However, traditional recognition and amplification tools exhibit poor specificity and sensitivity. Herein, a novel dual-machine linkage nanodevice (DMLD) is proposed for the first time to achieve high-performance analysis of TC, with a padlock aptamer component as the initiation command center, nucleic acid-encoded multispike virus-like Au nanoparticles (nMVANs) as the signal indicator, and cascade walkers circuit as the processor. The existence of spike vertices and interspike nanogaps in MVANs enables intense electromagnetic near-field focusing, allowing distinct surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) activity. Moreover, through the sequential activation between multistage walker catalytic circuits, the DLMD system converts the limited TC recognition into massive engineering assemblies of SERS probes guided by DNA amplicons, resulting in synergistic enhancement of bulk plasmonic hotspot entities. The continuously guaranteed target recognition and progressively promoted signal enhancement ensure highly specific amplification analysis of TC, with a detection limit as low as 7.94 × 10-16 g mL-1. Furthermore, the reliable recoveries in real samples confirm the practicability of the proposed sensing platform, highlighting the enormous potential of intelligent nanomachines for analyzing the trace hazards in the environment and food.

Abstract
Given the threat to human health posed by the abuse of tetracycline (TC), the development of a portable, on-site methods for highly sensitive and rapid TC detection is crucial. In this work, we initially synthesized europium-doped silicon nanoparticles (SiEuNPs) through a facile one-pot microwave-assisted method. Due to its blue-red dual fluorescence emission (465 nm/627 nm), which was respectively attributed to the silicon nanoparticles and Eu3+, SiEuNPs were designed as a ratiometric fluorescent sensor for TC detection. For the dual-signal reverse response mechanism: TC quenched the blue emission from silicon nanoparticles through inner filter effect (IFE), and enhanced the red emission through "antenna effect" (AE) between TC and Eu3+, the nanoprobe was able to detect TC within a range of 0.2-10 μM with a limit of detection (LOD) of 10.7 nM. Notably, the equilibrium detection time was only 1 min, achieving rapid TC detection. Furthermore, TC was also measured in real samples (tap water, milk and honey) with recoveries ranging from 95.7 % to 117.0 %. More importantly, a portable smartphone-assisted on-site detection platform was developed, enabling real-time qualitative identification and semi-quantitative analysis of TC based on fluorescence color changes. This work not only provided a novel doped silicon nanoparticles strategy, but also constructed a ratiometric sensing platform with dual-signal reverse response for intuitive and real-time TC detection.

Abstract
The weakly bound organic ligand shells around perovskite quantum dots (QDs) are easily decomposed and cannot provide sufficient stability in polar solvents, which greatly obstructs their applications in sensing. Herein, a fluorescent sensor based on CsPbBr3/CdS core/shell QDs was developed for the detection of tetracycline (TC) in the polar solvent-ethanol. Pristine CsPbBr3 QDs were treated with cadmium diethyldithiocarbamate (Cd(DDTC)2) to form a shell on the surface at 110 °C, while extra oleylammonium bromide (OAmBr) was added to inhibit the phase transformation of CsPbBr3 into a Cs4PbBr6 impurity phase during high-temperature processing. And finally CsPbBr3/CdS core/shell QDs were successfully synthesized. The capping with the CdS inorganic shell remediated surface defects and improved the stability in ethanol without affecting the emission properties of the parent CsPbBr3 QDs. The results showed that the fluorescent sensor detected TC in the range of 0.05-25 μM with a low detection limit of 22.6 nM, whereas it had high selectivity and anti-interference ability for TC. And the fluorescence quenching mechanism of the sensor was mainly photoinduced electron transfer between TC and CsPbBr3/CdS QDs. Our research provides a unique way to improve the stability of perovskite QDs in polar solvents and applications in fluorescence detection.

Abstract
Worldwide abuse of tetracycline (TC) seriously threatens environmental safety and human health. Metal-TC complexes formed by residual TC in the environment can also contribute to the spread of antibiotic resistance. Therefore, monitoring of TC residues is still required. Here, we report novel aggregation-induced emission carbon dots (AIE-Cdots) as nanoaggregate probes for the rapid and selective detection of TC residue. Riboflavin precursors with rotational functional groups led to the development of AIE-Cdots. The aggregation of AIE-Cdots was induced selectively for Al3+, amplifying the fluorescence signals owing to the restricted rotation of the side chains on the AIE-Cdot surface. The fluorescence signal of such Al3+-mediated nanoaggregates (Al3+-NAs) was further triggered by the structural fixation of TC at the Al3+ active sites, suggesting the formation of TC-coordinated Al3+-NAs. A linear correlation was observed in the TC concentration range of 0-10 μM with a detection limit of 42 nM. In addition, the strong Al3+ binding affinity of AIE-Cdots produced similar NAs and enhanced fluorescence signals in Al3+-TC mixtures. These AIE-Cdots-based nanoplatforms have a rapid response, good selectivity, and reliable accuracy for detecting TC or aluminum complexes, meeting the requirements for hazardous substance monitoring and removal in environmental applications.

Abstract
Excessive administration of penicillin G and improper disposal of its residues pose a serious risk to human health; therefore, the development of convenient methods for monitoring penicillin G levels in products is essential. Herein, novel gold-silver nanoclusters (AuAgNCs) were synthesized using chicken egg white and 6-aza-2-thiothymine as dual ligands with strong yellow fluorescence at 509 and 689 nm for the highly selective detection of penicillin G. The AuAgNCs were characterized using transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible absorption spectrophotometry, and fluorescence spectrophotometry. Under optimum conditions, the fluorescence intensity decreased linearly with the concentration of penicillin G from 0.2 to 6 μM, with a low detection limit of 18 nM. Real sample analyses indicated that a sensor developed using the AuAgNCs could detect penicillin G in urine and water samples within 10 min, with the recoveries ranging from 99.7 to 104.0%. The particle size of the AuAgNCs increased from 1.80 to 9.06 nm in the presence of penicillin G. We believe the aggregation-induced quenching of the fluorescence of the AuAgNCs was the main mechanism for the detection of penicillin G. These results demonstrate the ability of our sensor for monitoring penicillin G levels in environmental and clinic samples.

Abstract
In view of the urgent need for fluoroquinolones contamination detection in the fields of food safety, a novel aptasensor based on the fluorescence quenching property of graphene oxide (GO) and the fluorescence characteristic of cadmium selenide quantum dots (CdSe QDs) was developed for fluoroquinolones highly sensitive detection in this work. The CdSe QDs with carboxyl-rich surface were synthesized successfully and fluoresced at 525 nm under the optimal excitation light of 366 nm. Based on the hydrophobic and π-π stacking between GO and aptamer, aptamer labeled by CdSe QDs fluorescence (CdSe QDs-apt) were adsorbed by GO and the fluorescence of CdSe QDs was quenched. After the aptamer combined specifically with fluoroquinolones, greater specific force lead to the desorption of CdSe QDs-apt from GO and fluorescence recovery. Represented by Ciprofloxacin (CIP), a member of fluoroquinolones, the fluorescence emission increased with the increasing of CIP concentrations from 8 nM to 500 nM, and the detection limit was 0.42 nM. The spiked recoveries in real samples of honey and milk were 91.5-96.9 % and 90.3-95.2 %, respectively, indicating that the aptasensor was reliable. Moreover, the fluorescence responses of multiple members of fluoroquinolones were found to be consistent, denoting that the fluorescence aptasensor can be used to detect the total amount of multiple members of fluoroquinolones. These results showed that the aptasensor can be used as a promising platform for fluoroquinolones detection.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted fluorescent carbon dots (MI-FCDs) find numerous applications in analytical chemistry due to their outstanding photoluminescent properties and having specific pockets for the recognition of target molecules. Despite significant advances, practical applications of MI-FCDs-based fluorescent sensors are still in their initial stages. Therefore, the topical developments in the synthesis, working, and application of MI-FCDs for sensing various target species (e.g., pharmaceuticals, biomolecules, pesticides, food additives, and miscellaneous species) in food and biological media have been highlighted. Moreover, a careful evaluation has been made to select the best methods based on their performance in terms of analytical parameters. To expand the horizons of this field, important challenges and future directions for developing MI-FCDs for practical use are also presented. This review will highlight important aspects of MI-FCDs-based fluorescent sensors for their applicability in food science, material science, environmental science, nanoscience, and biotechnology.

Abstract
Antibiotics are widely used as bacteriostatic or bactericidal agents against various microbial infections in humans and animals. The excessive use of antibiotics has led to an accumulation of their residues in food products, which ultimately poses a threat to human health. In light of the shortcomings of conventional methods for antibiotic detection (primarily cost, proficiency, and time-consuming procedures), the development of robust, accurate, on-site, and sensitive technologies for antibiotic detection in foodstuffs is important. Nanomaterials with amazing optical properties are promising materials for developing the next generation of fluorescent sensors. In this article, advances in detecting antibiotics in food products are discussed with respect to their sensing applications, with a focus on fluorescent nanomaterials such as metallic nanoparticles, upconversion nanoparticles, quantum dots, carbon-based nanomaterials, and metal-organic frameworks. Furthermore, their performance is evaluated to promote the continuation of technical advances.

Abstract
It is of great significance to realize ultra-sensitive and visual detection of oxytetracycline (OTC) residues, especially for public health and environmental safety. In this study, a multicolor fluorescence sensing platform (CDs-Cit-Eu) for OTC detection was constructed by using rare earth europium complex functionalized carbon dots (CDs). The blue-emitting CDs (λem = 450 nm) prepared by one-step hydrothermal method using nannochloropsis were not only the scaffold of Eu3+ ion coordination, but also the recognition unit of OTC. After adding OTC to the multicolor fluorescent sensor, the emission intensity of CDs decreased slowly, and the emission intensity of Eu3+ ions (λem = 617 nm) enhanced significantly, accompanying by a significant color change of the nanoprobe from blue to red. The detection limit of the probe for OTC was calculated to be 3.5 nM, manifesting ultra-high sensitivity towards OTC detection. In addition, OTC detection in real samples (honey, lake water, tap water) was successfully achieved. Moreover, a semi-hydrophobic luminescent film SA/PVA/CDs-Cit-Eu was also prepared for OTC detection. With the help of smartphone color recognition APP, real-time intelligent detection of OTC was realized.

Abstract
Increasing awareness of the health and environment impacts of the antibiotics misuse or overuse, such as tetracycline (TC) in treatment or prevention of infections and diseases, has driven the development of robust methods for their detection in biological, environmental and food systems. In this work, we report the development of a new europium(III) complex functionalized silica nanoprobe (SiNPs-Eu3+) for highly sensitive and selective detection of TC residue in aqueous solution and food samples (milk and meat). The nanoprobe is developed by immobilization of Eu3+ ion onto the surface of silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) as the emitter and TC recognition unit. The β-diketone configuration of TC can further coordinate with Eu3+ steadily on the surface of nanoprobe, facilitating the absorption of light excitation for Eu3+ emitter activation and luminescence "off-on" response. The dose-dependent luminescence enhancement of SiNPs-Eu3+ nanoprobe exhibits good linearities, allowing the quantitative detection of TC. The SiNPs-Eu3+ nanoprobe shows high sensitivity and selectivity for TC detection in buffer solution. Time resolved luminescence analysis enables the elimination of autofluorescence and light scattering for highly sensitive detection of TC in milk and pork mince with high accuracy and precision. The successful development of SiNPs-Eu3+ nanoprobe is anticipated to provide a rapid, economic, and robust approach for TC detection in real world samples.

Abstract
In this study, we prepared three different silicon quantum dots (SiQDs-1, SiQDs-2 and SiQDs-3) by hydrothermal synthesis with rose Bengal as the reducing agent and triacetoxy(methyl)silane and allyloxytrimethylsilane as silicon sources. The as-prepared SiQDs not only exhibited potent antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) but also showed specific responses to tetracycline (TC). The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of SiQDs-1, SiQDs-2 and SiQDs-3 were 0.55 mg mL-1, 0.47 mg mL-1 and 0.39 mg mL-1 against E. coli, respectively, and 0.45 mg mL-1, 0.34 mg mL-1 and 0.34 mg mL-1 against S. aureus, respectively. By examining the morphologies of bacteria and generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), we speculated that these SiQDs shrink the bacteria and even directly destroy the bacterial structural integrity through the production of singlet oxygen. In addition, the fluorescence quenching effectiveness of SiQDs-3 also showed a strong linear relationship with TC concentration in the range of 0-1.2 μM with a detection limit of 0.318 μM, as a result of the internal filtering effect. Together, SiQDs not only can be a candidate to treat resistant bacterial infections, but also may be applied in practical detection of TC.

Abstract
In this study, histidine-protected copper nanoclusters (Cu NCs@His) were established by using a one-pot method, which histidine and ascorbic acid were applied as the template and reducing agent, respectively. The as-developed Cu NCs@His endued green emission wavelength at 494 nm with the excitation of 378 nm. The Cu NCs@His exhibited green fluorescence under UV light (365 nm). Using Cu NCs@His as a pattern nanosensor, the fluorescent "turn off" mechanism was fabricated for the determination of chlortetracycline in the light of the linear decrease of fluorescence intensities around 494 nm. The chlortetracycline conducted as a quencher, leading to reveal an excellent linear relationship between ln(F0/F) of Cu NCs@His and chlortetracycline concentrations with the range of 0.5-200 μM, and the detection limit was 0.876 μM. The fluorescence quenching of Cu NCs@His revealed excellent selectivity for chlortetracycline over other potential interfering substances in the human body. This strategy was exhibited to be a convenient sensing platform for the detection of chlortetracycline in real medical samples, which could unfold a brand new and direct system for the sensing of chlortetracycline in real samples.

Abstract
Selective labeling of distinct bacteria and biofilm is poised for the fundamental understanding of bacterial activities, interactions, and coupled phenomena occurring at the microscale. However, a simple and effective way to achieve selective bacterial labeling is still lacking. Herein, we report a fluorescence probe with core-shell nanostructure that has polydopamine (PDA) coating on the surface of fluorescent silicon quantum dots (SiQDs@PDA). The surface of the SiQDs@PDA can be functionalized by various molecules (2-mercaptoethylamine hydrochloride, PEG, d-alanine, glucose amide) through different strategies (Michael addition, π-π interaction, and ion–ion interaction). Importantly, the d-alanine (D-Ala)- and gluconamide (Glc)-functionalized SiQDs@PDA fluorescence probes are capable of selectively labeling gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, as well as their biofilms. The excellent performance in universal functionalization and selective labeling and imaging of bacteria and their biofilms demonstrate that SiQDs@PDA are a promising fluorescence tool in microbe research.

Abstract
A novel type of organic-inorganic hybrid periodic mesoporous materials based on 1,8-dihydroxyanthraquinone (DHAQ-PMOs) was synthesized in a ternary deep eutectic solvent (DES). In the process of the material synthesis, an organosiloxane precursor (DHAQ-Si) and tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) were used as the mixed Si source, and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) was used as the structure directing agent. The DES formed by choline chloride (ChCl), urea (U), and ethylene glycol (EG) was used as a green solvent. The water needed for the hydrolysis of DHAQ-Si and TEOS was provided from free water in the sodium hydroxide solution. As characterized by small-angle X-ray scattering, nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, the obtained mesoporous materials exhibit a two-dimensional hexagonal (P6mm) structure. DHAQ possesses double fluorescence emission peaks at ca. 520 and 580 nm due to the effect of the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT). For DHAQ-PMOs, the silica framework can provide a rigid environment that makes the fluorescence properties more stable and the fluorescence emission peak appears to red-shift obviously. The DHAQ-PMOs have high selectivity and sensitivity in a wide pH range that can be used to detect Cu2+, and the limit of detection (LOD) is as low as 2.39 × 10-9 M. Fluorescence polarization experiments, high-resolution mass spectrometry, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used to study the coordination interaction between DHAQ and Cu2+. The density functional theory (DFT) was used to further prove the coordination ability and interaction between DHAQ and Cu2+. XPS spectra were also done to prove the coordination of DHAQ and DHAQ-PMO-10 with Cu2+. In addition, confocal fluorescence microscope images exhibit that DHAQ-PMOs can detect Cu2+ in living cells. The results show that DHAQ-PMOs have great application potential as a sensor for the detection of Cu2+.

Abstract
Silicon carbide (SiC) has become an extraordinary photonic material. Achieving reproducible self-formation of silicon quantum dots (SiQDs) within SiC matrices could be beneficial for producing electroluminescent devices operating at high power, high temperatures, or high voltages. In this work, we use a remote plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition system to grow SiC thin films. We identified that a particular combination of 20 sccm of CH4 and a range of 58-100 sccm of H2 mass flow with 600 °C annealing allows the abundant and reproducible self-formation of SiQDs within the SiC films. These SiQDs dramatically increase the photoluminescence-integrated intensity of our SiC films. The photoluminescence of our SiQDs shows a normal distribution with positive skewness and well-defined intensity maxima in blue regions of the electromagnetic spectrum (439-465 nm) and is clearly perceptible to the naked eye.

Abstract
In the water system, antibiotic pollution significantly impacts the human body and the environment. Therefore, it is essential to quickly identify the types of antibiotics in the system and detect their concentration. It has been reported that many metal ions interact with antibiotics, and some of them can also change the enzyme-like catalytic properties of gold clusters (AuNCs). In the experiments, we found significant differences in the experimental results when different antibiotics and metal ions were placed in a TMB-H2O2 system with AuNCs as catalysts. Based on this result, we devised a simple and sensitive colorimetric method for the simultaneous detection of multiple antibiotics using AuNCs-metal ions as the sensor, a multifunctional microplate detector as the detection instrument, and LDA as the analytical method. This method was successfully applied for the identification of antibiotics and the detection of their concentrations in river water.

Abstract
As a kind of sensing and imaging fluorescent probe with the merit of low toxicity, good stability, and environment-friendly, silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) are currently attracting extensive research. In this work, we obtained mitoxantrone-SiNPs (MXT-SiNPs) with green emission by one-pot synthesis under mild temperature condition. The antenna based on pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) was designed for light-harvesting to enhance the luminescence of MXT-SiNPs and to establish a novel sensing strategy for alkaline phosphatase (ALP). PLP transfers the absorbed photon energy to MXT-SiNPs by forming Schiff base. When PLP is dephosphorized by ALP, the released free hydroxyl group reacts with aldehyde group to form internal hemiacetal, which leads to the failure of Schiff base formation. Based on the relationship between antenna formation ability and PLP hydrolysis degree, the activity of ALP can be measured. A good linear relationship was obtained from 0.2 to 3.0 U/L, with a limit of detection of 0.06 U/L. Furthermore, the sensing platform was successfully used to detect ALP in human serum with recovery of 97.6-106.2%. The rational design of antenna elements for fluorescent nanomaterials can not only provide a new pathway to manipulate the luminescence, but also provide a new direction for fluorescence sensing strategy.

Abstract
There is a critical need for the rapid detection of p-chlorophenol produced by pesticide abuse and industrial wastewater discharge, which has been an urgent problem in the realm of environmental protection. Here, a green and environmentally friendly method was developed to prepare stable and low toxicity quantum dots. First, blue-green fluorescent FeS2 quantum dots (B-FeS2 QDs) were prepared with FeCl3·6H2O (an iron source) and L-cysteine (a capping agent) by the solvothermal method. By combining B-FeS2 QDs with orange carbon dots (O-CDs), a CDs@SiO2/FeS2@MIPs visual fluorescence sensor for the selective detection of p-chlorophenol was constructed. Under optimum conditions, this sensor exhibited a detection limit of 1.265 μM with a linear range of 5.00-50.00 μM and was successfully applied to detect p-chlorophenol in real samples. Moreover, this sensor was successfully applied to visual semi-quantitative detection of p-chlorophenol. This work demonstrated that these sensors, based on FeS2 QDs and CDs, had potentials for in situ and visual detection of environmental contaminants.

Abstract
The residue problem in animal food products caused by the abuse of chlortetracycline (CTC) is one of the food safety issues that have attracted much attention. Herein, a composite was generated by embedding CdTe quantum dots (QDs) into ZIF-8 for ratiometric fluorescent analysis of CTC. With adding CTC, the green luminescence of CTC appeared under the sensitization effect of Zn2+ in ZIF-8, but the red luminescence of CdTe QDs was reduced by the inner filtration effect of CTC. On this basis, CTC was detected by the composite with a short response time of 1 min, and the limit of detection was calculated to be 37 nM that was 17 times lower than the maximum residue limit of CTC in animal food products (626 nM). Excellent recyclability of the composite was also observed, and CTC was consecutively measured at least six times. The composite was used to determine CTC in basa fish and pure milk with satisfactory recoveries (91.0-110.0%). Portable test strips were further manufactured and the visual determination of CTC was obtained. These results convictively demonstrate that CdTe QDs@ZIF-8 composite as a recyclable ratiometric fluorescent sensor achieves the rapid and sensitive measurement of CTC residue in animal food products.

Abstract
Tetracycline, a broad-spectrum antibiotic, has been widely used in disease treatment and other fields. However, due to the unreasonable use, its residue remains in food which eventually harms human health. Here described an upconversion nanosensor for tetracycline detection based on magnetic separation and electrostatic adsorption. To identify tetracycline, tetracycline aptamer, and europium ions (Eu3+) were introduced in the system. According to the electrostatic adsorption principle, Eu3+ exposed core-shell UCNPs were bound to negative complex of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and aptamer. In the presence of tetracycline, UCNPs separated with MNPs-aptamer and remained in the supernatant by an external magnetic field. Under optimal conditions, the linear detection range of tetracycline was 0.5-1000 ng·mL-1, and the detection limit was 0.17 ng·mL-1. It has been successfully applied to detect tetracycline in food samples. The constructed method provided broad prospects for tetracycline detection with the merits of simple operation, high sensitivity, excellent repeatability, and selectivity.

Abstract
A water-soluble, stable, simple and dual ligands (bovine serum albumin and L-histidine)-enhanced copper nanoclusters (BSA-CuNCs@L-His) was synthesized by one-step wet chemical method. Interestingly, the introduction of L-His ligand could improve evidently the quantum yields (QYs, 3.47%) and stability of BSA-CuNCs due to forming the stronger interaction of L-His and Cu and producing bigger diameter CuNCs by coordination-induced aggregation. Thus, a new ratiometric fluorescent probe (RF-probe) was successfully exploited for sensitively and selectively mensurating doxycycline (DOX) because DOX could simultaneously regulate the fluorescence (FL) intensities of BSA-CuNCs@L-His at 410 and 520 nm. The FL quenching of BSA-CuNCs@L-His at 410 nm by DOX was mainly originated from the static quenching process, while DOX could bind to Trp-212 in BSA from the skeleton of BSA-CuNCs@L-His by electrostatic interaction causing the appearance of new emission peak at 520 nm. The content of DOX was monitored by the RF-probe with a linear range of 0.05-14.0 μM and a LOD (limit of detection) and LOQ (limit of quantification) of 6.4 and 21.3 nM (at 3σ/slope and 10σ/slope). Moreover, compared to the standard HPLC method, the proposed RF-probe was extended to the detection of DOX in doxycycline hydrochloride (DOXH) tablets, DOXH injections and DOXH capsules with satisfactory results.

Abstract
A dual-signal fluorescent sensor was developed for tetracycline (TET) detection in milk with excellent reproducibility and stability. In this protocol, molybdenum disulfide quantum dots (MoS2 QDs) with blue fluorescence and cadmium telluride quantum dots (CdTe QDs) with yellow fluorescence were synthesized to establish the MoS2/CdTe-based sensor with two fluorescence emission peaks at 433 nm and 573 nm. With the addition of TET, the fluorescence of MoS2/CdTe were quenched by photoinduced electron transfer (PET), and the fluorescence of CdTe QDs were quenched more obvious than MoS2 QDs. With the strategy, a calibration curve was established between the TET concentration in the range of 0.1-1 μM and the ratio of fluorescence intensity at 573 nm and 433 nm (F573/F433). Furthermore, the dual-signal sensor was applied for TET detection in milk samples with the recovery of 95.53-104.22% and the relative standard deviation (RSD) less than 5%, indicating the strong application potential.

Abstract
Novel molecularly imprinted polymers for selective binding of tetracyclines were synthesised through oil-in-water Pickering emulsion polymerisation with SiO2 particles as stabilisers. The products were used for solid phase extraction coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography to detect trace tetracycline and oxytetracycline in animal-derived samples. The SPE materials were characterised in detail by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, scanning electron microscopy and thermogravimetry analysis. The imprinted polymers displayed high adsorption capacity, fast binding process and high selectivity through evaluation of adsorption performance employing kinetic, static adsorption and selectivity experiments. Under optimum detection conditions, good linearity (12 to 121 µg kg-1) and limits of detection (1.8 to 1.9 μg kg-1) for tetracyclines were obtained. In addition, satisfactory recoveries of 75% to 115 % were also achieved by spiking tetracyclines into milk, chicken, fish and pork samples, giving direct evidence of real practicality of our proposed separation method.

Abstract
A novel optical nano-sensor for the detection of pregabalin (PG) in its pharmaceutical (Lyrica®) capsules and biological samples was reported. For the fabrication of highly fluorescent carbon quantum dots (CQDts), a simple green hydrothermal approach was described, and ascorbic acid (AA) was used as a carbon source. The obtained CQDts were confirmed by spectroscopic characterization such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectra. The synthesized CQDts were capped by alcohol to form yellow emitters, showing strong fluorescent emission at 524 nm, and excitation at 356 nm. The method is based on fluorescence quenching of CQDts in the presence of PG. The proposed analytical method was validated according to ICH guidelines. PG was successively assayed in the concentration range of 4.0 to 100 μg/ml). The detection and quantitation limits were 1.12 and 3.39 μg/ml, respectively. The proposed method could be used in both quality control and pharmacokinetic research for the studied drug.

Abstract
The colorimetric method can determine the initial results even by the naked eyes, but its main challenge for antibiotics detection in food at present is the relatively low sensitivity. Herein, an ultrasensitive colorimetric biosensor based on G-quadruplex DNAzyme was firstly proposed for the rapid detection of trace tetracycline antibiotics like tetracycline, oxytetracycline, chlortetracycline and doxycycline. DNAzyme composed of hemin and G-quadruplex has peroxidase-like activity, and tetracyclines can combine with hemin to form a stable complex and reduce catalytic activity, making the color of solution changes from yellow to green. The limits of detection (LOD) of the proposed colorimetric biosensor for tetracyclines is determined as low as 3.1 nM, which is lower than most of the other colorimetric methods for antibiotics detection. Moreover, the average recovery range of tetracyclines in actual samples is from 89% to 99%, indicating that such strategy may has bright application prospects for tetracyclines detection in foods.

Abstract
In recent years, the overuse of antibiotics has caused more and more serious environmental pollution, the uncontrolled abuse of antibiotics makes bacteria produce resistance to antibiotics faster than the replacement rate of antibiotics themselves, leading to the emergence of super drug-resistant bacteria. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to establish a simple, rapid and sensitive method for the detection of antibiotics. By integrating natural nano-clay (Atta) and carbon dots (CDs), the real-time and rapid visual detection of tetracycline (TC) in the sample can be realized by chromaticity pick-up APP on smartphone. The nano-sensor can detect tetracycline in the concentration between 25 nM and 20 μM with the detection limit of 8.7 nM. The low detection limit coupled with good accuracy, sensitivity and specificity meets the requirements for the detection of tetracycline in food. More importantly, the test paper and fluorescent stick-like nano-sensor are designed to detect tetracycline by polychromatic fluorescence changes. In addition, a logic gate for semi-quantitative identification of the concentration of tetracycline is designed, which makes it possible for the application of the nano-sensor in the field of smart devices.

An environmentally friendly nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) with hawthorn powder as the carbon source and diethylenetriamine (DETA) as the nitrogen source was synthesized by one-pot hydrothermal process. The preparation conditions of the N-CDs were optimized. Subsequently, the characteristics of the N-CDs were elucidated by fluorescence, UV absorption, transmission electron microscope, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The N-CDs showed a quantum yield of 22.96%, emission at 447 nm at the maximum excitation wavelength of 370 nm and an average particle diameter of 3.17 nm. Meanwhile, the factors affecting the fluorescence intensity of the N-CDs were studied. Moreover, the fluorescence quenching method for detecting chlortetracycline in pork was established and optimized. Under the best experimental conditions, the linear range (R2 = 0.9992) was developed over 0.4-20 μg mL-1 with a detection limit of 0.073 ± 0.005 μg mL-1 (S/N = 3). Chlortetracycline in pork samples had been successfully detected with good recoveries of 93.62%-103.18%, which suggested that the study provided a new approach for the detection of chlortetracycline in pork.

Abstract
A novel fluorescent probe based on sulfur quantum dots (SQDs) was fabricated for sensitive and selective detection of tetracycline (TC) in milk samples. The blue emitting SQDs were synthesized via a top–down method with assistance of H2O2. The synthesized SQDs showed excellent monodispersity, water solubility and fluorescence stability, with a quantum yield (QY) of 6.30%. Furthermore, the blue fluorescence of the obtained SQDs could be effectively quenched in the presence of TC through the static quenching effect (SQE) and inner filter effect (IFE) between TC and SQDs. Under the optimum conditions, a rapid detection of TC could be accomplished within 1 min and a wide linear range could be obtained from 0.1 to 50.0 μM with a limit of detection (LOD) of 28.0 nM at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. Finally, the SQD-based fluorescent probe was successfully applied for TC determination in milk samples with satisfactory recovery and good relative standard deviation (RSD). These results indicate that the SQD-based fluorescent probe shows great potential in practical analysis of TC in real samples with high rapidity, selectivity, and sensitivity. A SQD-based fluorescent probe was applied to detect TC based on the inner filter effect (IFE) and static quenching effect (SQE) without any extra surface modification for the first time.![]()

Abstract
Herein, fluorescent DNA-templated silver nanoclusters (DNA-AgNCs) with red emission were synthesized and utilized as novel probe to detect D-penicillamine (D-Pen) for the first time. D-Pen molecules contain a thiol which can combine with Ag to form a non-fluorescent ground state complex, inducing the aggregation of DNA-AgNCs followed by the fluorescence quenching. The quenching mechanism is well-studied and found to be a static quenching process. This method can detect D-Pen in the range of 0.025-0.7 μM with the detection limit as low as 8 nM, which is 1-3 orders of magnitude more sensitive than those based on other fluorescent nanoprobes. More importantly, the preparation procedure for DNA-AgNCs is fast and without the requirement of heavy metal ions. Thus, this detection strategy is time-saving and eco-friendly. Satisfactory recoveries have been acquired for monitoring D-Pen in human serum samples and pharmaceutical samples owing to the high sensitivity.

Abstract
Ultrasensitive and visual detection of tetracycline antibiotic (TC) residues is of great significance to public health and environmental safety. A novel dual-response ratiometric fluorescent nano-probe (SiQDs-Cit-Eu) has been elaborately tailored for the determination and on-site visual assay of tetracycline, by grafting citric acid and europium (Eu3+) ions onto the surface of silicon quantum dots (SiQDs). The blue-emissive SiQDs (λem = 455 nm) fabricated by a one-step facile method act as both scaffold for coordination with Eu3+ ions and recognition unit for TC owing to the inner filter effect (IFE). The coordinate unsaturated red-fluorescent Eu3+ ions (λem = 617 nm) bond to the surface of SiQDs, serving as the specific recognition element for TC due to the antenna effect. In the presence of TC, the as-synthesized nano-probe exhibits double (λem = 455 and 617 nm) and reverse response signals which are accompanied by a marked color change from blue to purple, and then red, thus achieving ultra-high sensitivity with a detection limit of 7.1 nM and instant visual detection of TC in real samples (milk, honey, lake and river water). Furthermore, smartphone-assisted point-of-care testing platform is also constructed based on nano-probe-immobilized test paper by using the color scanning APP.

Abstract
In this study, a new floating dispersive solid phase extraction method based on deep eutectic solvents has been developed in a home-made extraction device for the extraction of four tetracycline antibiotics from milk samples. In this approach, the sorbent (activated carbon) was dispersed in whole parts of solution with the aid of air stream and floated on top of the solution with the aid of the surfactant (lauryl betaine) and air bubbles. After collection of the sorbent, the adsorbed analytes were eluted with tetrabutyl ammonium chloride-propionic acid deep eutectic solvent under sonication. In this method, there was no need of organic dispersive and extraction solvents and the used sorbent was collected on top of the solution and collected without centrifugation. The validation parameters showed that low limits of detection (0.1-0.3 μg/kg) and quantification (0.6-1.0 μg/kg), acceptable enrichment factors (52-60), efficient extraction recoveries (80-91%), and satisfactory relative standard deviations (≤9.8%) were obtained. Eventually, the method was successfully applied on different milk samples and tetracycline was determined in them.

Abstract
The microflower-like Si/MoS2 composites were fabricated using Si quantum dots (QDs) to assist a facile hydrothermal method. The electrochemical performance of Si/MoS2 composite in symmetric and asymmetric systems was studied. Electrochemical characterization revealed that the Si/MoS2 composite electrode in a three-electrode system has a high specific capacitance of 574.4 F·g−1 at 5 A·g−1. Furthermore, the Si/MoS2 composite electrode in a two-electrode system had the maximum energy density of 27.2 Wh·kg−1 when a power density of 749.1 W·kg−1 was achieved. Therefore, this investigation proves the Si/MoS2 composite microflower-like structure should be a promising candidate electrode material for supercapacitors.

Abstract
In this work, a new application of Mn-doped ZnS quantum dots (Mn-ZnS QDs) was developed to screen chloramphenicol (CAP) and tetracycline (TC) residues simply and rapidly. Mn-ZnS QDs synthesized by a hydration method and modified by l-cysteine for better stability emit phosphorescence at 583 nm with the excitation wavelength at 289 nm. Based on the overlap of the Mn-ZnS QDs excitation spectra and CAP or TCs ultraviolet spectra, the excited light of the Mn-ZnS QDs was partially absorbed by CAP or TCs owing to the inner-filter effect (IFE), leading to a decrease in the phosphorescence intensity. The phosphorescence intensities of the samples prepared by mixing different TCs and CAP were in good agreement with the expected results from adding a single antibiotic sample. Therefore, the total molar concentrations of CAP and TCs could be screened based on the linear equation of a single standard substance. Represented by tetracycline (TC), as a member of the tetracycline family, under optimized conditions, showed a good linear relational concentration range over 4 orders of magnitude from 50 to 1.5 × 105 nM with a limit of detection (LOD; S/N ratio = 3) down to 8.6 nM. The phosphorescent sensor was also used to detect total TCs in actual samples successfully. The evaluations of the recovery rate and selectivity were good. These results demonstrated that the presented phosphorescent sensor can be a simple and rapid screening platform for CAP and TCs.
