Abstract
The determination of pH values is crucial in various fields, such as analytical chemistry, medical diagnostics, and biochemical research. pH test strips, renowned for their convenience and cost-effectiveness, are commonly utilized for pH qualitative estimation. Recently, quantitative methods for determining pH values using pH test strips have been developed. However, these methods can be prone to errors due to environmental factors, such as lighting conditions, which affect the imaging quality of the pH test strips. To address these challenges, we developed an innovative approach that combines machine learning techniques with pH test strips for the quantitative determination of pH values. Our method involves extracting artificial features from the pH test strip images and combining them across multiple dimensions for comprehensive analysis. To ensure optimal feature selection, we developed a feature selection strategy based on SHAP importance. This strategy helps in identifying the most relevant features that contribute to accurate pH prediction. Furthermore, we integrated multiple machine learning algorithms, employing a robust stacking fusion strategy to establish a highly reliable pH value prediction model. Our proposed method automates the determination of pH values through pH test strips, effectively overcoming the limitations associated with environmental lighting interference. Experimental results demonstrate that this method is convenient, effective, and highly reliable for the determination of pH values.

Abstract
In situ real-time quantitative monitoring pH fluctuation in complex living systems is vitally significant. In the current work, a ratiometric near-infrared (NIR) probe (MCyOH) was developed to confront this challenge. MCyOH exhibited good sensitivity, photostability, reversibility, and an ideal pKa (pKa = 6.65). Ratiometric character of MCyOH is beneficial to accuracy detect the pH fluctuations in living cells under different stimulation. The observations showed that intracellular pH was decreased when HepG2 cells under oxidative stress or starvation conditions. In particular, HepG2 cells was acidulated after addition of ethanol, however, the acidification phenomenon was attenuated or disappeared when HepG2 cells preincubated with disulfiram or fomepizole. Finally, MCyOH was successfully applied to observe the increasement of intracellular pH when HepG2 cells treated with fomepizole individually. Overall, MCyOH would be a practical candidate to explore pH-associated physiological and pathological varieties.

Abstract
A multi-signal aptasensor for thrombin determination is proposed based on catalytically active gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and fluorescent silicon quantum dots (SiQDs). Yellow 4-Nitrophenol (4-NP) could be converted to colorless 4-Aminophenol (4-AP) by catalytically active aptamer-modified AuNPs (S1-AuNPs). The SiQDs emitted strong blue fluorescence at 455 nm at the excitation wavelength of 367 nm. When thrombin was absent, S1-AuNPs could catalytically reduce yellow 4-NP to colorless 4-AP. When thrombin was added, the aptamer could be transformed into a G-quadruplex structure, which masked the surface-active catalytic sites of AuNPs and restrained the reduction of 4-NP. Thus, the fluorescence of SiQDs was greatly quenched by 4-NP through the inner filter effect (IFE), and the solution color remained yellow. As the concentration of thrombin increased, the catalytic activity of S1-AuNPs decreased. The concentration of 4-NP that was converted to 4-AP declined and the unconverted 4-NP increased. In this process, the absorption peak of 4-NP at 400 nm increased while the fluorescence emission of SiQDs at 455 nm decreased. The linear ranges of the fluorometric and colorimetric aptasensor were 0.5-30 nM and 0.3-30 nM, respectively. The limits of detection (LOD) for the two modes were 0.15 nM and 0.13 nM. Furthermore, a portable sensing platform was constructed by combining the smartphone-based device with the software ImageJ for the determination of thrombin. With the advantages of cost-effectiveness, simplicity of operation and broad applicability, this aptasensor provided a new perspective for on-site determination of thrombin in the clinical field.

Abstract
The development of biosensors mediated by synergistic quenching effect is of great significance for rapid and accurate clinical diagnosis. Hence, we prepared a cyan-emitting fluorescent Si dots for alkaline phosphatase (ALP) detection through the synergistic quenching effect of inner filter effect (IFE) and photo-induced electron transfer (PET). Si dots were prepared by microwave-assisted method, which displayed high quantum yield (28.7%), as well as good physiochemical properties, such as photo-stability, pH stability, and chemical stability. As the hydrolysate of 4-nitrophenyl phosphate disodium salt hexahydrate catalyzed by ALP, both IFE and PET of 4-nitrophenyl to Si dots were used for the turn-off mode detection of ALP. The linear relationships were established between the change of fluorescence intensity and ALP concentration in the range of 0.05 U L-1 to 5.0 U L-1, and 5.0 U L-1 to 80.0 U L-1, respectively. The detection limit was 0.01 U L-1. The synergistic quenching effect caused the turn-off mode detection to be more sensitive, and it can also be used for the accurate detection of ALP in human serum, thereby showing great anti-interference ability in complex environments.

Abstract
A fast, eco-friendly and accurate ratiometric fluorescent strategy is presented for the determination of organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) using intrinsic dual-emission silica nanoparticles modified with Rhodamine 6G (SiNPs-Rho6G). SiNPs-Rho6G had intrinsic dual-emission at 410 and 550 nm. The substrate acetylcholine was catalyzed by acetylcholinesterase (AChE) to produce thiocholine (TCh). TCh triggered the specific reaction of Ellman's reagent 5, 5-dithiobis (2-nitrobenzoic acid) to obtain 5-thio-2-nitrobenzoic acid, which caused the decrease in fluorescence intensity of SiNPs-Rho6G at 410 nm by the inner filter effect, while the fluorescence intensity of SiNPs-Rho6G at 550 nm was not significantly changed. OPs caused the recovery of the fluorescence at 410 nm by inhibiting the activity of AChE. Thus, the quantitative detection of OPs could be achieved through utilizing the catalytic characteristic of AChE. The linear curve from 0.010 to 0.250 μg mL-1 with a detection limit of 7 ng mL-1 was obtained for the determination of chlorpyrifos (Cpf). The ratiometric probe was used to detect the spiked Cpf in environmental and food samples with good recoveries. Therefore, combined with the dual emission characteristics of SiNPs-Rho6G and the specificity of the enzyme, the ratio fluorescence sensing platform has potential application prospects in OPs determinations.

Abstract
A clear formation mechanism is essential for the controllable synthesis of nanomaterials with different optical properties, which is also one of the challenges facing the preparation of fluorescent silicon nanomaterials. In this work, a one-step room temperature synthesis method was established to prepare yellow-green fluorescent silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs). The obtained SiNPs exhibited excellent pH stability, salt tolerance, anti-photobleaching ability and biocompatibility. Based on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, ultra high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry and other characterization data, the formation mechanism of the SiNPs was proposed, which provided a theoretical basis and important reference for the controllable preparation of SiNPs and other fluorescent nanomaterials. In addition, the obtained SiNPs illustrated excellent sensitivity for nitrophenol isomers, the linear range of o-nitrophenol, m-nitrophenol, p-nitrophenol was 0.05-600 μM, 20-600 μM and 0.01-600 μM under the λex and λem were set as 440 nm and 549 nm, and related limit detection was 16.7 nM, 6.7 μM and 3.3 nM, respectively. The developed SiNP-based sensor achieved satisfactory recoveries in detecting nitrophenol isomers in a river water sample, showing great promise in practical applications.

Abstract
Herein, a novel ionic fluorescent probe for mercury(II) detection is presented consisting of a functional quinoline-based IL. Interestingly, the probe displayed high sensitivity (0.8 nM) and selectivity through the regulation function of electrostatic attraction, where its performance was significantly superior to that of quinoline probes without negative charge. Furthermore, the probe was found to exhibit two different fluorescent signals and colorimetric signals in the presence of different concentrations of mercury(II), which was consistent with the reaction mechanisms of the generation of large conjugated systems and the formation of anion-mercury(II) complexes. Moreover, this probe could be further loaded on a simple filter paper to serve as a visual paper sensor due to its adequate response time of less than 5 s. This regulation function strategy of electrostatic attraction has excellent potential for use in the precise detection of targeted analytes in real complex samples with improved accuracy and selectivity.

Abstract
Hypervalent aryliodoumiums are intensively investigated as arylating agents. They are excellent surrogates to aryl halides, and moreover they exhibit better reactivity, which allows the corresponding arylation reactions to be performed under mild conditions. In the past decades, acyclic aryliodoniums are widely explored as arylation agents. However, the unmet need for acyclic aryliodoniums is the improvement of their notoriously low reaction economy because the coproduced aryl iodides during the arylation are often wasted. Cyclic aryliodoniums have their intrinsic advantage in terms of reaction economy, and they have started to receive considerable attention due to their valuable synthetic applications to initiate cascade reactions, which can enable the construction of complex structures, including polycycles with potential pharmaceutical and functional properties. Here, we are summarizing the recent advances made in the research field of cyclic aryliodoniums, including the nascent design of aryliodonium species and their synthetic applications. First, the general preparation of typical diphenyl iodoniums is described, followed by the construction of heterocyclic iodoniums and monoaryl iodoniums. Then, the initiated arylations coupled with subsequent domino reactions are summarized to construct polycycles. Meanwhile, the advances in cyclic aryliodoniums for building biaryls including axial atropisomers are discussed in a systematic manner. Finally, a very recent advance of cyclic aryliodoniums employed as halogen-bonding organocatalysts is described.

By virtue of the specific reaction between S2- and 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB), colorimetric assay of S2- was realized with a good linear range of 0-100 μM. The colorimetric detection system could be further combined with F-SiNPs to construct a probe for fluorescence turn-off sensing S2- in aqueous solution due to inner filter effect. In the fluorescent detection system, a good linearity with S2- concentration in the range of 0-50 μM was accomplished. And as low as 0.1 μM S2- was successfully detected. Moreover, the F-SiNPs displayed low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility, and was further utilized for cell imaging. These results demonstrated the promising applications of F-SiNPs in S2- analysis and bioimaging.

Abstract
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) plays crucial roles in the nervous system, and thus the reliable assay of its activity is of great significance for the diagnosis of nervous diseases. In this work, we report a fluorescent sensing platform with silicon quantum dots (Si-QDs) as a fluorescence oscillator and nano iron oxyhydroxide (α-, β-, and γ-FeOOH) as a quencher for the assay of AChE. FeOOH with α-, β-, and γ-crystal forms quenches the fluorescence of Si-QDs at λex/λem = 350/438 nm, which is retrieved in the presence of AChE and its substrate acetylthiocholine (ATCh) to provide an off-on strategy with a high signal/noise ratio. It is interesting that the sensitivity of AChE sensing is closely related to the crystal forms of FeOOH, with the highest sensitivity by adopting α-FeOOH as the quencher. A linear calibration is achieved within 0.02-1.4 U/L along with a limit of detection of 0.016 U/L. The sensing strategy was demonstrated by the AChE assay in human blood, plasma, and hemocytes.

Abstract
Curcumin, an active ingredient in Curcuma longa, which possesses good biological and pharmacological activities, is effective in treating many diseases. Developing simple and sensitive methods for the detection of curcumin is of great significance. In this study, novel water-dispersible silicon quantum dots (SiQDs), which can sensitively respond to curcumin through fluorescent and colorimetric dual modes were synthesized via a one-step hydrothermal treatment of N-[3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyl]-ethylenediamine (DAMO) and p-phenylenediamine. The fluorescence of SiQDs could be remarkably quenched by curcumin via the inner filter effect (IFE) and static quenching effect (SQE). A good linear relationship was obtained in the range of 0.25-75 μM with a detection limit of 91 nM. More interestingly, curcumin could also be visually detected using SiQDs via an obvious color change of the solution from pale yellow to orange-red, which allows the establishment of a sensitive colorimetric method for curcumin detection in the linear range of 0.05-57.5 μM with a detection limit of 32 nM. The proposed method was successfully applied to detect curcumin in health care products and spices. Notably, to realize rapid and convenient visual detection of curcumin, a paper sensor was also fabricated.
