Abstract
Silver nanoparticles were synthesized inside the small plates of transparent polymer medium by reduction of silver cations. The difference in morphology and sizes of nanoparticles synthesized by chemical, photochemical and thermal reduction was revealed, which depends both on the component ratio of the mixture and on the reduction time for the specific component ratio The polymethacrylate matrix itself acts as the stabilizing agent. A colorimetric sensor based on polymethacrylate matrix and silver nanoparticles was developed for the detection of hydrogen peroxide. The optical properties of the sensor were characterized by spectrophotometer using the surface plasmon resonance. A colorimetric sensor with nanoparticles undergoing to thermal reduction showed a quick result for the determination of hydrogen peroxide in the range 0.2-4.4 mM with a detection limit 0.1 mM.

Abstract
A novel smartphone digital image colorimetry-based approach was developed for fluoride ion determination, using layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanoparticles (Mg2Al(OH)7) as sorbents for analyte preconcentration and as a source of a central metal ion for a colored complex formation. A cotton rotating disk provided effective retention of the LDH nanoparticles during solid-phase microextraction and elution, excluding time-consuming centrifugation process. In the proposed procedure, the nanoparticles acted as aluminum ion source for alizarin complexone-Al3+-F- complex formation. An image of Eppendorf tube, containing the colored complex solution was obtained by a smartphone and converted, using the RGB model for fluoride ion determination. The procedure had a linear range of 0.20-20 mg L-1 with a limit of detection of 0.06 mg L-1. The developed procedure provided effective fluoride separation from various matrices for its determination by a smartphone without additional sample pretreatment.

Abstract
The extreme toxicity of nerve agents and the broad spectrum of their physical and chemical properties, enabling the use of these agents in a variety of tactical situations, is a continuing challenge in maintaining the knowledge and capability to detect them, as well as in finding new effective methods. Despite significant advances in the instrumentation of the analysis of nerve agents, relatively simple methods based on the evaluation of colour signals (absorption and fluorescence), in particular those using the cholinesterase reaction, continue to be of importance. This review provides a brief presentation of the current status of these simple methods, with an emphasis on military applications, and illustrates the high interest of the professional community in their further development. At the same time, it also contains some peculiarities (high reliability and durability, resistance to extreme climatic conditions, work in deployed means of protection, low purchase prices, economic availability especially in a state of war, etc.) that the authors believe research and development of simple methods and means for the detection of nerve agents should respect.

Abstract
A Schiff base receptor with an active -NH group was designed and synthesized for the selective and sensitive colorimetric detection of inorganic fluoride (F-) ions in an aqueous medium. The sensitivity of the receptor for F- ions was enhanced by the influence of two electron-withdrawing -NO2 groups at ortho and para positions which result in a vivid color change. The receptor underwent a remarkable color change from light yellow to violet, enabling naked-eye detection of F- ions without the need for spectroscopic equipment. To ensure the structural integrity of the synthesized receptors, prominent spectroscopic techniques such as 1H NMR, FTIR, and GCMS analysis were used for characterization. With a limit of detection (LoD) of 0.0996 ppm, a 1 : 2 stoichiometric binding ratio was observed for receptor and F- ions. The binding mechanism confirmed the deprotonation of the -NH group followed by the formation of -HF2, resulting in an intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) transition, which correlates with UV-vis and 1H NMR titration results. In addition, the proposed binding mechanism of F- ion interaction with the receptor was theoretically validated using DFT and TDDFT calculations. Furthermore, as a real-life implementation of the receptor, quantification of the F- ions present in a commercially available mouthwash was demonstrated. To assess the sensitivity performance, a paper-based dip sensor and a solid substrate sensor by functionalizing the receptor on diatomaceous earth were demonstrated. Finally, sensors were built into smartphones that could recognize the red, green, and blue percentages (RGB%) where each parameter defines the intensity of the color, which could also be used as a supplement to the colorimetric investigations.

A customizable automated container-free multi-strip detection and line recognition system for colorimetric analysis with lateral flow immunoassay for lean meat powder based on machine vision and smartphone. Talanta 2023; 253:123925.

Abstract
Ractopamine (RAC) and clenbuterol (CLE) are feed additives with adverse effects of consuming too much to food safety. It is necessary to develop an efficient and accurate colorimetric analysis method for immune-based detection of RAC and CLE. Traditional human-vision-based colorimetric analysis for lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) is non-quantifiable and low-in-automation, while container-based and analysis-instrument-based methods are unrepeatable and high-cost. Therefore, a container-free colorimetric analysis method was developed with LFIAs image captured in dark background under smartphone flash. A multi-strip detection algorithm based on contours extraction, as well as line recognition algorithm based on grayscale projection of LFIA was developed. Finally, relative grayscale (RGS) of lines were calculated and then input into editable fitting curves to estimate concentrations. Results showed the multi-strip detection algorithm reached 98.85% and 93.70% of Recall and intersection over union (IoU), while the line recognition algorithm reached 95.07% and 97.95% of Recall and color similarity, respectively. As a result, an App was fabricated through employing LFIA of RAC and CLE, with colorimetric analysis accuracy of 98.25% and 94.50%, respectively. This study provides a container-free multi-strip colorimetric analysis method with low-cost and illumination robustness, which is a substitution for container-based and single-strip colorimetric analysis methods.

Optical pH Sensing in Milk: A Small Puzzle of Indicator Concentrations and the Best Detection Method. CHEMOSENSORS 2021.

Abstract
Optical chemical sensors can yield distinctively different responses that are dependent on the method applied for readout and evaluation. We therefore present a comprehensive study on the pH determined non-continuously with optical sensors in real milk samples by either photometry or colorimetry (via the RGB-readout of digital images) compared to the pH values obtained electrochemically by potentiometry. Additionally, the photometric determination of pH was conducted with single-wavelength and a dual wavelength ratiometric evaluation of the absorbance. It was found that both the precision and accuracy of the pH determined by photometry benefit from lower concentrations of bromocresol purple, which served as the pH indicator inside the sensor membrane. A further improvement is obtained by the ratiometric evaluation of the photometric sensor response. The pH values obtained from the colorimetric evaluation, however, gain in precision and accuracy if a higher concentration of the indicator is immobilized inside the sensor membrane. This has a major impact on the future fabrication of optical pH sensor membranes because they can be better tuned to match to the most precise and accurate range of the planned detection method.
