Abstract
The past few decades have witnessed encouraging progress in the development of high-performance film-based fluorescent sensors (FFSs) for detecting explosives, illicit drugs, chemical warfare agents (CWAs), and hazardous volatile organic chemicals (VOCs), among others. Several FFSs have transitioned from laboratory research to real-world applications, demonstrating their practical relevance. At the heart of FFS technology lies the sensing films, which play a crucial role in determining the analytes and the resulting signals. The selection of sensing fluorophores and the fabrication strategies employed in film construction are key factors that influence the fluorescence properties, active-layer structures, and overall sensing behaviors of these films. This review examines the progress and innovations in the research field of FFSs over the past two decades, focusing on advancements in fluorophore design and active-layer structural engineering. It underscores popular sensing fluorophore scaffolds and the dynamics of excited state processes. Additionally, it delves into six distinct categories of film fabrication technologies and strategies, providing insights into their advantages and limitations. This review further addresses important considerations such as photostability and substrate effects. Concluding with an overview of the field's challenges and prospects, it sheds light on the potential for further development in this burgeoning area.

Abstract
Solvents influence the structure, aggregation and folding behaviors of solvatochromic compounds. Ultrasensitive solvent mediated chiroptical response is conducive to the fabrication of molecular platform for sensing and recognition, which however, remains great challenges in conceptual or applicable design. Here we report a cysteine-based single benzene chromophore system that shows ultrasensitivity to solvents. Compared to the ratiometrically responsive systems, the chiroptical activities could be triggered or inverted depending on the substituents of chiral entities with an ultralow solvent volume fraction (<1 vol %). One drop of dipolar solvents shall significantly induce the emergence or inversion of chiroptical signals in bulky phases. Based on the experimental and computational studies, the ultrasensitivity is contributed to the intimate interplay between solvents and chiral compounds that anchors the specific chiral conformation. It illustrates that structurally simple organic compounds without aggregation or folding behaviors possess pronounced solvatochiroptical properties, which sheds light on the next-generation of chiroptical sensors and switches.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and ascorbic acid (AA), acting as two significant indicative species, correlate with the oxidative stress status in living brains, which have historically been considered to be involved mainly in neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, and Parkinson's disease (PD). The development of efficient biosensors for the simultaneous measurement of their levels in living brains is vital to understand their roles played in the brain and their interactive relationship in the progress of these diseases. Herein, a robust ratiometric electrochemical microsensor was rationally designed to realize the determination of H2O2 and AA simultaneously. Therefore, a specific probe was designed and synthesized with both recognition units responsible for reacting with H2O2 to produce a detectable signal on the microsensor and linkage units helping the probe modify onto the carbon substrate. A topping ingredient, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) was added on the surface of the electrode, with the purpose of not only facilitating the oxidation of AA but also absorbing methylene blue (MB), prompting to read out the inner reference signal. This proposed electrochemical microsensor exhibited a robust ability to real-time track H2O2 and AA in linear ranges of 0.5-900 and 10-1000 μM with high selectivity and accuracy, respectively. Eventually, the efficient electrochemical microsensor was successfully applied to the simultaneous measurement of H2O2 and AA in the rat brain, followed by microinjection, and in the PD mouse brain.

Abstract
A year ago, film-based fluorescent sensors (FFSs) were recognized in the "IUPAC Top Ten Emerging Technologies in Chemistry 2022" due to their extensive application in detecting hidden explosives, illicit drugs, and volatile organic compounds. These sensors offer high sensitivity, specificity, immunity to light scattering, and noninvasiveness. The core of FFSs is the construction of high-performance fluorescent sensing films, which are dependent on the processes of "energy transfer" and "mass transfer" in the active layer and involve complex interactions between sensing molecules and analytes. This Perspective focuses on the latest strategies in constructing these films, emphasizing the design of sensing molecules with various innovative features and structures that enhance the mass transfer efficiency. Additionally, it discusses the ongoing challenges and potential advancements in the field of FFSs.

Abstract
Faced with rising threats of terrorism, environmental and health risks, achieving sensitive and selective detection of peroxide-based explosives (PEs) has become a global focus. In this study, a turn-on fluorescent probe (BOD) based on benzil (H2O2-recognition element) and 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY) derivative (fluorophore) was developed to sensitively and specifically detect hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The synthesized BOD had a very weak fluorescence due to intramolecular donor-excited photo-induced electron transfer (d-PET) effect; however, it could emit a strong fluorescence since H2O2 selectively oxidized the benzil moiety and released free BODIPY fluorophore (BOD-COOH). As a result, the proposed BOD detected H2O2 in linear detection ranged from 25 to 125 µM with a detection limit of 4.41 µM. Meanwhile, the proposed BOD showed good selectivity toward H2O2, which is not affected by other common reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ions from explosive residues. In addition, a blue shift from 508 to 498 nm was observed in the absorption spectra upon addition of H2O2. More importantly, the BOD was successfully applied for rapid detection of H2O2 vapor with good sensitivity (down to 7 ppb), which holds great potential for practical use in public safety, forensic analysis and environmental monitoring.

Abstract
meta-Fluorophores (MFs) are unique ultra-light (in terms of molecular weight (MW)) fluorophores exhibiting luminescence with a wide colour gamut ranging from blue to the NIR. Single benzenic MFs are easy to synthesize, are quite bright (with photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) as high as 63%) and exhibit very large Stokes shift (as high as 260 nm (8965 cm-1)), with large solvatochromic shift (as high as 175 nm), and very long excited-state-lifetime (as high as 26 ns) for such ultra-light fluorophores. An emission maximum of ≥600 nm has been achieved with an MF in a polar medium having a MW of only 177 g mol-1 and in a nonpolar medium having MW of only 255 g mol-1; therefore, a large-sized π-conjugated para-fluorophore is no longer a prerequisite for red/NIR emission. Structurally varied MFs pave the way for creating an ocean of opportunities and are thus promising for replacing para-fluorophores for different applications, ranging from bioimaging to LEDs.

Abstract
Due to the characteristics of peroxide explosives, which are difficult to detect via conventional detection methods and have high explosive power, a fluorescent photoelectric detection system based on fluorescence detection technology was designed in this study to achieve the high-sensitivity detection of trace peroxide explosives in practical applications. Through actual measurement experiments and numerical simulation methods, the derivative dynamic time warping (DDTW) algorithm and the Spearman correlation coefficient were used to calculate the DDTW-Spearman distance to achieve time series correlation measurements. The detection sensitivity of triacetone triperoxide (TATP) and H2O2 was studied, and the detection of organic substances of acetone, acetylene, ethanol, ethyl acetate, and petroleum ether was carried out. The stability and specific detection ability of the fluorescent photoelectric detection system were determined. The research results showed that the fluorescence photoelectric detection system can effectively identify the detection data of TATP, H2O2, acetone, acetonitrile, ethanol, ethyl acetate, and petroleum ether. The detection limit of 0.01 mg/mL of TATP and 0.0046 mg/mL of H2O2 was less than 10 ppb. The time series similarity measurement method improves the analytical capabilities of fluorescence photoelectric detection technology.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is one of the important reactive oxygen species (ROS), which is closely related to many pathological and physiological processes in living organisms. Excessive H2O2 can lead to cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and other diseases, so it is necessary to detect H2O2 in living cells. Since this work designed a novel fluorescent probe to detect the concentration of H2O2, the H2O2 reaction group arylboric acid was attached to the fluorescein 3-Acetyl-7-hydroxycoumarin as a specific recognition group for the selective detection of hydrogen peroxide. The experimental results show that the probe can effectively detect H2O2 with high selectivity and measure cellular ROS levels. Therefore, this novel fluorescent probe provides a potential monitoring tool for a variety of diseases caused by H2O2 excess.

SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 23:3120.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is commonly used as an oxidizing, bleaching, or antiseptic agent. It is also hazardous at increased concentrations. It is therefore crucial to monitor the presence and concentration of H2O2, particularly in the vapor phase. However, it remains a challenge for many state-of-the-art chemical sensors (e.g., metal oxides) to detect hydrogen peroxide vapor (HPV) because of the interference of moisture in the form of humidity. Moisture, in the form of humidity, is guaranteed to be present in HPV to some extent. To meet this challenge, herein, we report a novel composite material based on poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) doped with ammonium titanyl oxalate (ATO). This material can be fabricated as a thin film on electrode substrates for use in chemiresistive sensing of HPV. The adsorbed H2O2 will react with ATO, causing a colorimetric response in the material body. Combining colorimetric and chemiresistive responses resulted in a more reliable dual-function sensing method that improved the selectivity and sensitivity. Moreover, the composite film of PEDOT:PSS-ATO could be coated with a layer of pure PEDOT via in situ electrochemical synthesis. The pure PEDOT layer was hydrophobic, shielding the sensor material underneath from coming into contact with moisture. This was shown to mitigate the interference of humidity when detecting H2O2. A combination of these material properties makes the double-layer composite film, namely PEDOT:PSS-ATO/PEDOT, an ideal sensor platform for the detection of HPV. For example, upon a 9 min exposure to HPV at a concentration of 1.9 ppm, the electrical resistance of the film increased threefold, surpassing the bounds of the safety threshold. Meanwhile, the colorimetric response observed was 2.55 (defined as the color change ratio), a ratio at which the color change could be easily seen by the naked eye and quantified.

BIOSENSORS 2022; 12:bios12100778. [PMID: 36290916 PMCID: PMC9599508 DOI: 10.3390/bios12100778] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2022] [Revised: 09/14/2022] [Accepted: 09/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
A hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) sensor was developed based on core–shell gold@titanium dioxide nanoparticles and multi-walled carbon nanotubes modified glassy carbon electrode (Au@TiO2/MWCNTs/GCE). Core–shell Au@TiO2 material was prepared and characterized using a scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM/EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Zeta-potential analyzer. The proposed sensor (Au@TiO2/MWCNTs/GCE) was investigated electrochemically using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The analytical performance of the sensor was evaluated towards H2O2 using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The proposed sensor exhibited excellent stability and sensitivity with a linear concentration range from 5 to 200 µM (R2 = 0.9973) and 200 to 6000 µM (R2 = 0.9994), and a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.4 µM achieved under physiological pH conditions. The practicality of the proposed sensor was further tested by measuring H2O2 in human serum and saliva samples. The observed response and recovery results demonstrate its potential for real-world H2O2 monitoring. Additionally, the proposed sensor and detection strategy can offer potential prospects in electrochemical sensors development, indicative oxidative stress monitoring, clinical diagnostics, general cancer biomarker measurements, paper bleaching, etc.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), one of the most stable and abundant reactive oxygen species (ROS), acting as a modulator of dopaminergic signaling, has been intimately implicated in Parkinson's disease, creating a critical need for the selective quantification of H2O2 in the living brain. Current natural or nanomimic enzyme-based electrochemical methods employed for the determination of H2O2 suffer from inadequate selectivity and stability, due to which the in vivo measurement of H2O2 in the living brain remains a challenge. Herein, a series of 5-(1,2-dithiolan-3-yl)-N-(4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)phenyl)pentanamide (DBP) derivatives were designed by tuning the substitute groups and sites of a boric acid ester, which served as probes to specifically react with H2O2. Consequently, the reaction products, 5-(1,2-dithiolan-3-yl)-N-(4-hydroxyphen-yl)pentanamide (DHP) derivatives, converted the electrochemical signal from inactive into active. After systematically evaluating their performances, 5-(1,2-dithiolan-3-yl)-N-(3-chloro-4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)phenyl)pentanamide (o-Cl-DBP) was finally identified as the optimized probe for H2O2 detection as it revealed the fastest reaction time, the largest current density, and the most negative potential. In addition, electrochemically oxidized graphene oxide (EOGO) was utilized to produce a stable inner reference. The designed electrochemical microsensor provided a ratiometric strategy for real-time tracking of H2O2 in a linear range of 0.5-600 μM with high selectivity and accuracy. Eventually, the efficient electrochemical microsensor was successfully applied to the measurement of H2O2 in Parkinson's disease (PD) mouse brain. The average levels of H2O2 in the cortex, striatum, and hippocampus in the normal mouse and PD mouse were systematically compared for the first time.

Abstract
8-Hydroxypyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonate (HPTS) is a small, hydrophilic fluorescent molecule. Since the pKa of the hydroxyl group is close to neutrality and quickly responds to pH changes, it is widely used as a pH-reporter in cell biology for measurements of intracellular pH. HPTS fluorescence (both excitation and emission spectra) at variable pH was measured in pure water in the presence of NaCl solution or in the presence of different buffers (PBS or hepes in the presence or not of NaCl) and in a solution containing BSA. pKa values have been obtained from the sigmoidal curves. Herein, we investigated the effect of mono-, di-, and trivalent cations (Na+, Ca2+, La3+, Gd3+) on fluorescence changes and proposed its use for the quantification of trivalent cations (e.g., gadolinium ions) present in solution as acqua-ions. Starting from the linear regression, the LoD value of 6.32 µM for the Gd3+ detection was calculated. The effects on the emission were also analyzed in the presence of a combination of Gd3+ at two different concentrations and the previously indicated mono and di-valent ions. The study demonstrated the feasibility of a qualitative method to investigate the intracellular Gd3+ release upon the administration of Gd-based contrast agents in murine macrophages.

Abstract
We have developed a turn-on photoluminescence protocol to detect hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) utilizing a supramolecular hydrogel as a sensing platform. Hydrogen peroxide is widely used in formulations, starting from healthcare products to explosives. It is also known to induce deleterious health effects at its irregular physiological concentration and considered as a biomarker in various disease conditions. We designed molecule 2, which releases the Tb3+ sensitizer biphenyl-4-carboxylic acid (1) upon unmasking by hydrogen peroxide. This chemistry led us to develop a sensitive photoluminescence assay for H2O2 through the 1-induced photoluminescence of terbium (Tb3+) in a hydrogel matrix. Paper discs (0.45 cm) were coated with the soft hydrogel to make the sensing process simple and cost-effective. The green luminescence from the paper discs, observed under a UV lamp, allowed naked-eye detection of H2O2 in the micromolar level without any sophisticated instrumentation. Image processing software or a plate reader can be used for the accurate quantification of the analyte in micromolar and nanomolar ranges. Several commercial hand sanitizers containing hydrogen peroxide were tested by this method. The results indicated that this low-cost system could be practically adopted, especially in resource-limited areas, to quantify/detect H2O2 for quality control purposes or other applications.

Abstract
A kind of organic-inorganic hybrid silica nanoparticles loaded with 1,8-naphthalimide borate ester (NIB@SiO2) was used to detect trace hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) vapor via turn-off mechanism. The detailed studies showed that utilizing silica nanoparticles can improve the adsorption properties and hydrophilicity of the sensing film, accelerate the deboronation reaction between the sensing material and H2O2, and then shorten the response time successively, which is always the disturbing challenge for this deboronation-type fluorescent probe to H2O2 vapor. The fluorescence of NIB@SiO2 film was quenched greatly under H2O2 saturated vapor within 5 s at room temperature and limit of detection (LOD) was estimated to be 184 ppt, which are among the best reported results. Thus, this study provides an ultrafast and highly sensitive organic-inorganic hybrid fluorescent probe to H2O2 vapor, moreover, a new design strategy for promising H2O2 fluorescent probe is revealed.

Abstract
In this manuscript, we explored the performance of a hollow thin film array (HTFA) for the detection of HCl vapor based on fluorescence quenching. The HTFA structure was fabricated by manually stacking layers of an active thin film and a supporting film, alternately, with a hollow structure in each supporting film. The total penetration depth of vapor molecules in the HTFA sample is 2n times increased, where n is the layer number of the active thin film. We tested the sensing performance of the HTFA sample using fluorescence emission and laser emission in a Fabry-Pérot (FP) microcavity. In the fluorescence sensing, the sensing efficiency increases with the vapor concentration, and can be as high as 80% with a vapor concentration of 400 ppm. While in the laser sensing, the efficiency can achieve 100% with an external pump intensity three times of the lasing threshold at a vapor concentration of 85 ppm. The HTFA sample is not only suitable for vapor detection but also suitable for molecule detection in liquid.

Abstract
The design of multifunctional sensors based on biocompatible hybrid materials consisting of conjugated polythiophene-quantum dots for multiple environmental pollutants is a promising strategy for the development of new monitoring technologies. Herein, we present a new approach for the "on-off-on" sensing of Hg2+ and triacetone triperoxide (TATP) based on amphiphilic polythiophene-coated CdTe QDs (PQDs, PLQY ∼78%). The emission of the PQDs is quenched by Hg2+ ions via electron transfer interactions. Based on the strong interaction between TATP and Hg2+ ions, the addition of TATP to the PQD-Hg2+ complex results in a remarkable recovery of the PQD emission. Under the optimized conditions, the PQD sensor shows a good linear response to Hg2+ and TATP with detection limits of 7.4 nM and 0.055 mg L-1, respectively. Furthermore, the "on-off-on" sensor demonstrates good biocompatibility, high stability, and excellent selectivity in the presence of other metal ions and common explosives. Importantly, the proposed method can be used to determine the level of Hg2+ and TATP in environmental water samples.

Abstract
We report a practical fluorescent sensor device for the trace amount detection of hydrogen peroxide vapor. In this paper, we have significantly improved the performance of fluorescence analysis for the detection of peroxides by solving the problems of packaging and storage of active materials and transferring the chemical experiment phenomenon to the actual project output. The fluorescent sensor molecule, test substrates, mixing methods, and the way to improve the life time are carefully studied. Combined with the design of circuit and programming, a field-test prototype was designed for peroxide explosives and its performance and algorithm were screened and optimized. In the detection of traces of H2O2 generated by ultraviolet separation or leaked as inherent impurities, the high-efficiency and rapid detection of peroxide-based explosives is achieved. The detection limit of H2O2 is expected to reach 2 ppb, and the response time can reach <0.5 s.

Abstract
An optical organic vapor sensor array based on colorimetric or fluorescence changes quantified by spectroscopy provides an efficient method for realizing rapid identification and detection of organic vapor, but improving the sensitivity of the optical organic vapor sensor is challenging. Here, AIE/polymer (AIE, ggregation-induced emission) composites into microwires arrays are fabricated as organic vapor sensors with specific recognition and high sensitivity for different vapors using the capillary-bridge-mediated assembly method. Such organic vapor sensor successfully detects organic vapor relying on a swelling-induced fluorescence change of the AIE/polymer composites, combating the unique property of AIE molecules and vapor absorption-induced polymer swelling. A series of AIE/polymer composites into microwires arrays with four different groups on the AIE molecule and four different side chains on the polymer is fabricated to detect four different organic vapors. The mechanism for improved sensitivity of the AIE/polymer composites microwires arrays sensors is the same because of the similar polarity between the group of AIE molecules and the vapor molecules. Molecular design of the side chains of the polymer and the groups of AIE molecules based on the polarity of the targeted vapor molecule can enhance the sensitivity of the sensors to the subparts per million level.

Abstract
Fluorescence-based materials and associated techniques (analytical, imaging, and sensing techniques) have been highlighted over the last century throughout various basic research fields and industries. Organic molecule-based fluorophores, in particular, have ushered in a new era in biology and materials science. To date, hundreds of organic fluorophores have been developed, and many studies have introduced new rationales for the fluorophore design and the analysis of the relationship between its structure and photophysical properties both in the solution- and solid-state. In this review, we summarize the recent advances (mainly from 2015 to 2020) in single-benzene-based fluorophores (SBBFs), which have an electron-donor (D)-acceptor (A) type dipolar structure within a compact benzene backbone. We also present a systematic outline of the physicochemical properties of SBBFs and representative examples of their applications, which will provide useful context for the development of new SBBF derivatives in fluorophore-related materials science fields.

Abstract
Derivatives of 2,5-diaminoterephthalate (DAT) are efficient fluorescence dyes that are also redox-active, thus allowing for the electrochemical manipulation of spectral properties. The electrochemical behaviour of seven DAT derivatives was studied by cyclic voltammetry in dichloromethane. In the absence of a proton donor, DATs should be oxidized in two one-electron steps. The first step is usually quasi-reversible while the second step is either quasi-reversible or irreversible. Some electrochemical properties such as the formal potentials and the ratio between the anodic and the cathodic current were determined from the cyclic voltammograms. Correlation between the formal potential of first oxidation and the absorption or the fluorescence emission wavelengths are established for this specific type of dyes. These correlations were confirmed with density functional theory calculations.

Abstract
Heterogeneous colorimetric sensors for fluoride ions were obtained by cross-linking TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TOCNF) with chemically modified branched polyethyleneimine 25 kDa (bPEI). Functionalization of bPEI primary amino groups with aromatic anhydrides led to the formation of the corresponding mono- and bis-imides on the grafted polymers (f-bPEI). A microwave-assisted procedure allowed the optimization of the synthetic protocol by reducing reaction time from 17 h to 30 minutes. Hydrogels obtained by mixing different ratios of TOCNF, bPEI and f-bPEI were lyophilized and thermally treated at about 100 °C to promote the formation of amide bonds between the amino groups of poly-cationic polymers and the carboxylic groups of cellulose nanofibers. This approach generated a series of cellulose nanosponges S1-S3 which were characterized by FT-IR and by solid state 13 C CPMAS NMR. These sponge materials can act as colorimetric sensors for the selective naked-eye recognition of fluoride ions over chloride, phosphate and acetate ions at concentrations of up to 0.05 M in DMSO. Moreover, when the sponges were functionalized with perylene tetracarboxylic diimide, successful naked-eye detection was achieved with only 0.02 % w/w of chromophore units per gram of material.

Abstract
The 2,5-diaminoterephthalate structural motif is a powerful chromophore with remarkable fluorescence properties. Containing two carboxylate and two amino functions, it defines a colored molecular scaffold which allows for orthogonal functionalization with different functional units. Therefore, different applications in life sciences and materials science could be addressed. In this study, the two amino functions were alkylated by reductive amination with side chains carrying amino (orthogonally protected as Boc or Alloc) and carboxylate functions (orthogonally protected as tBu or allyl ester). After sequential deprotections, functional units were introduced by amidation reactions. As three examples, the chromophore was coupled with retinoic acid and fullerene C60 in order to obtain a triad for studying photoinduced electron transfer processes. Furthermore, cyclooctyne and azide moieties were introduced as functional units, allowing for ligation by click reactions. These two clickable groups were applied in combination with maleimide units which are reactive toward thiol residues. The latter dyes define so-called "turn on" probes, since the fluorescence quantum yields increased by one order of magnitude upon reaction with the molecular target.

Abstract
This work reports on a novel fluorescent sensor 1 for Cd2+ ion based on the fluorophore of tetramethyl substituted bis(difluoroboron)-1,2-bis[(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)methylene]hydrazine (Me4BOPHY), which is modified with an electron donor moiety of N,N-bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)benzenamine. Sensor 1 has absorption and emission in visible region, at 550 nm and 675 nm, respectively. The long wavelength spectral response makes it easier to fabricate the fluorescence detector. The sensor mechanism is based on the tunable internal charge transfer (ICT) transition of molecule 1. Binding of Cd2+ ion quenches the ICT transition, but turns on the π − π transition of the fluorophore, thus enabling ratiometric fluorescence sensing. The limit of detection (LOD) was projected down to 0.77 ppb, which is far below the safety value (3 ppb) set for drinking water by World Health Organization. The sensor also demonstrates a high selectivity towards Cd2+ in comparison to other interferent metal ions.

Abstract
The Cu@Pt/C nanocomposites have been synthesized via two-step reduction method. Electrochemical observations showed that the Cu@Pt/C had better electrocatalytic activity for the reduction of hydrogen peroxide than Pt/C, with a wide linear range between 0.50μM and 32.56mM, a high sensitivity of 351.3μAmM-1cm-2, and a low detection limit of 0.15μM (signal/noise=3). Furthermore, the sensor based on Cu@Pt/C has potential applications due to its excellent long-time stability, good reproducibility and acceptable selectivity.

Abstract
Luminescent films have received great interest for chemo-/bio-sensing applications due to their distinct advantages over solution-based probes, such as good stability and portability, tunable shape and size, non-invasion, real-time detection, extensive suitability in gas/vapor sensing, and recycling. On the other hand, they can achieve selective and sensitive detection of chemical/biological species using special luminophores with a recognition moiety or the assembly of common luminophores and functional materials. Nowadays, the extensively used assembly techniques include drop-casting/spin-coating, Langmuir-Blodgett (LB), self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), layer-by-layer (LBL), and electrospinning. Therefore, this review summarizes the recent advances in luminescent films with these assembly techniques and their applications in chemo-/bio-sensing. We mainly focused on the discussion of the relationship between the sensing properties of the films and their architecture. Furthermore, we discussed some critical challenges existing in this field and possible solutions that have been or are being developed to overcome these challenges.

Abstract
Intrinsically low electrical conductivity of organic semiconductors hinders their further development into practical electronic devices. Herein, we report on an efficient chemical self-doping to increase the conductivity through one-dimensional stacking arrangement of electron donor-acceptor (D-A) molecules. The D-A molecule employed was a 1-methylpiperidine-substituted perylene tetracarboxylic diimide (MP-PTCDI), of which the methylpiperidine moiety is a strong electron donor, and can form a charge transfer complex with PTCDI (acting as the acceptor), generating anionic radical of PTCDI as evidenced in molecular solutions. Upon self-assembling into nanoribbons through columnar π-π stacking, the intermolecular charge transfer interaction between methylpiperidine and PTCDI would be enhanced, and the electrons generated are delocalized along the π-π stacking of PTCDIs, leading to enhancement in conductivity. The conductive fiber materials thus produced can potentially be used as chemiresistive sensor for vapor detection of electron deficient chemicals such as hydrogen peroxide, taking advantage of the large surface area of nanofibers. As a major component of improvised explosives, hydrogen peroxide remains a critical signature chemical for public safety screening and monitoring.

Abstract
1,3,5-trinitroperhydro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX), and pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), the major components in plastic explosives, pose a significant threat to public safety. A quick, sensitive, and low-cost detection method for these non-volatile explosives is eagerly demanded. Here we present a fluo-spot approach, which can be employed for in situ detection of trace amount of explosives. The sensor molecule is a charge-transfer fluorophore, DCM, which is strongly fluorescent in its pristine state, but non-fluorescent after the quick reaction with NO2· (or NO2+) generated from the UV photolysis of RDX, HMX (or PETN). When fabricated within silica gel TLC plate, the fluo-spot sensor features high sensitivity owing to the large surface area and porous structure of the substrate. The sensor reaction mechanism was verified by various experimental characterizations, including chromatography, UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy, MS and 1H NMR spectrometry. The fluo-spot also demonstrated high selectivity towards RDX, HMX and PETN, as no significant fluorescence quenching was observed for other chemical compounds including common nitro-aromatic explosives and inorganic oxidative compounds. The DCM sensor can also be used as an economical spray kit to directly spot the explosives by naked eyes, implying great potential for quick, low-cost trace explosives detection.

Abstract
The organic thin-film fluorescence probe, with the advantages of not polluting the analyte and fast response, has attracted much attention in explosive detection. Different with nitro explosives, the peroxide-based explosives are hardly to be detected because of their poor ultraviolet absorption and lack of an aromatic ring. As the signature compound of peroxide-based explosives, H2O2 vapor detection became more and more important. Boron ester or acid is considered to be a suitable functional group for the detection of hydrogen peroxide due to its reliable reactive activity. Its only drawback lies on its slow degradation velocity. In this work, we try to introduce some functional group to make the boron ester to be easily oxidized by H2O2. Herein, 4-(phenyl(4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)phenyl)amino)benzaldehyde (OTB) was synthesized and its imine derivatives, OTBXAs, were easily obtained just by putting OTB films in different primary amines vapors. OTBXAs show fast deboronation velocity in H2O2 vapor compared with OTB. The complete reaction time of (E)-N-phenyl-4-((propylimino)methyl)-N-(4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)phenyl)aniline (OTBPA) was even shortened 40 times with a response time of seconds. The detection limit for H2O2 vapor was as low as 4.1 parts per trillion (ppt). Further study showed that it is a general approach to enhance the sensing performance of borate to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) vapor by introducing an imine into an aromatic borate molecule via a solid/vapor reaction.
