Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), a significant member of reactive oxygen species, plays a crucial role in oxidative stress and cell signaling. Abnormal levels of H2O2 in the body can induce damage or even impair body function, leading to the development of certain diseases. Therefore, real-time monitoring of H2O2 in living cells is very important. In this work, the aggregation-induced emission fluorescence probe 2-(2-((4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl) benzyl) oxy) phenyl) imidazo [1,2-a] pyridine (B2) was designed and synthesized, which enables the long-term tracing of H2O2 in living cells. The addition of H2O2 to probe B2 results in a dramatic fluorescence enhancement around 500 nm. Notably, B2 can visualize both exogenous and endogenous H2O2 in living cells. The synthesis method for B2 is simple, has a high yield, and utilizes readily available materials. It exhibits advantages such as low toxicity, photostability, and good biocompatibility. Consequently, the developed fluorescent probe in this study has great potential as a reliable tool for determining H2O2 in living cells.

Abstract
This review summarizes (i) compositions and types of improvised explosive devices; (ii) the process of collection, extraction and analysis of explosive evidence encountered in explosive and related cases; (iii) inter-comparison of analytical techniques; (iv) the challenges and prospects of explosive detection technology. The highlights of this study include extensive information regarding the National & International standards specified by USEPA, ASTM, and so on, for explosives detection. The holistic development of analytical tools for explosive analysis ranging from conventional methods to advanced analytical tools is also covered in this article. The most important aspect of this review is to make forensic scientists familiar with the challenges during explosive analysis and the steps to avoid them. The problems during analysis can be analyte-based, that is, interferences due to matrix or added molding/stabilizing agents, trace amount of parent explosives in post-blast samples and many more. Others are techniques-based challenges viz. specificity, selectivity, and sensitivity of the technique. Thus, it has become a primary concern to adopt rapid, field deployable, and highly sensitive techniques.

Abstract
Since peroxide-based explosives (PBEs) lack reactive functional groups, they cannot be determined directly by most detection methods and are often detected indirectly by converting them to H2O2. However, H2O2 may originate from many sources, causing false positives in PBE detection. Here, we developed a novel electrochemical sensor for the direct sensitive and selective determination of PBEs such as triacetone triperoxide (TATP) and hexamethylene triperoxide diamine (HMTD) using electrochemical modification of the glassy carbon (GC) electrode with PBE-memory polycarbazole (PCz) films decorated with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) by cyclic voltammetry (CV). The prepared electrodes were named TATP-memory-GC/PCz/AuNPs (used for TATP determination) and HMTD-memory-GC/PCz/AuNPs (used for HMTD detection). The calibration lines of TATP and HMTD were found in the concentration range of 0.1-1.0 mg L-1 using the net current intensities of differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) versus analyte concentrations. The limit of detection (LOD) commonly found was 15 μg L-1 for TATP and HMTD. The sensor electrodes could separately determine intact TATP and HMTD in the presence of nitro-aromatic, nitramine, and nitrate ester energetic materials. The proposed electrochemical sensing method was not interfered by electroactive substances such as paracetamol, caffeine, acetylsalicylic acid, aspartame, d-glucose, and detergent (containing perborate and percarbonate) used as camouflage materials for PBEs. This is the first molecularly imprinted polymeric electrode for PBEs accomplishing such low LODs, and the DPV method was statistically validated in contaminated clay soil samples against the GC-MS method for TATP and a spectrophotometric method for HMTD using t- and F-tests.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), a member of small-molecule reactive oxygen species (ROS), plays vital roles in normal physiological activities and the occurrence of many diseases. In this work, two off-on fluorescent probes, QX8A-H2O2 and QX9A-H2O2, were firstly designed for H2O2 detection with novel fused quinoxalines as the fluorophores and boronate moiety as the reaction sites. By comparing the optical properties, QX9A-H2O2 with better performance was selected for further studies. QX9A-H2O2 exhibited a high sensitivity to H2O2 with the detection limit as low as 46 nM, and displayed a good selectivity towards H2O2 over other reactants such as ROS, biothiols and various ions. The detection was based on the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT), proceeding through a sequential oxidative hydrolysis, 1,6-rearrangement elimination and decarboxylation process to release the fluorophore QX9A. Moreover, probe QX9A-H2O2 was cell permeable and was successfully employed in both exogenous and endogenous H2O2 imaging in living cells.

Abstract
The sensitive and selective determination of peroxide-based explosives (PBEs) in the field/on site is an important analytical challenge. Most methods claiming to detect PBEs are indirect, actually detecting their decomposition product, H2O2. Here, we present an electrochemical sensor for direct detection of organic peroxide explosives, that is, triacetone triperoxide (TATP) and hexamethylenetriperoxide diamine (HMTD), using well-dispersed multiwalled carbon nanotubes/polyethyleneimine (MWCNTs/PEI)-modified glassy carbon (GC) electrode, namely, GC/MWCNTs/PEI electrode. This is the first use of the conductive polyelectrolyte PEI as an electrode modifier for pristine PBE sensing. The potential range, scan rate, solvent selection, and supporting electrolyte concentration were optimized for PBEs. As a distinct advantage over other similar methods, our sensor electrode responded to intact TATP solutions in neutral medium, meaning that TATP did not interact with acids/bases that would transform it into H2O2. Calibration curves were linear in the range of 10-200 mg L-1 for TATP and 25-200 mg L-1 for HMTD. Using differential pulse voltammetry, detection limits of 1.5 mg L-1 TATP and 3.0 mg L-1 HMTD were obtained from direct electrochemical reduction in 80/20% (v/v) H2O-acetone solvent medium. Electroactive camouflage materials such as passenger belongings (e.g., sweetener, detergent, sugar, and paracetamol-caffeine-based analgesic drugs), common ions, and other explosives were shown not to interfere with the proposed method. The nonresponsive behavior of our electrode to H2O2 prevents "false positives" from other peroxide materials of everyday use. This electrochemical sensor could also detect other nitro-explosives at different potentials and was statistically validated against standard GC-MS and spectrophotometric methods.

Abstract
In this chapter, we gave a brief introduction of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and its existing analytical methods and described the need of mitochondria-targeted photoacoustic (PA) probe for H2O2 detection in vivo. Then we provided the detailed protocols for the design and characterization of a mitochondria-targeted PA probe (TPP-HCy-BOH) to visualize H2O2in vivo, which was developed in our previous work. Compared to control probe without mitochondria-targeted ability (HCy-BOH), TPP-HCy-BOH could efficiently accumulate in mitochondria and activate its PA signals toward overproduced H2O2 in inflamed mouse model with higher PA sensitivity.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays a vital role in organism due to its strong oxidizability, especially in resisting the invasion of pathogens. Cancer cells have abnormal concentrations of hydrogen peroxide due to their disordered reproduction. In complex biological systems, however, conventional fluorescent probes based solely on their fluorescent response to abnormal H2O2 overexpression in cancer cells are not enough to distinguish cancer cells from other unhealthy or immune cells. Therefore, it is necessary to develop other methods to allow the probe to selectively enter the cancer cells and perform fluorescence imaging of the hydrogen peroxide in the cancer cells. Herein, we developed a biotin-guided, two-photon fluorescent probe (BT-HP) for sensitive detection of H2O2 in cancer cells. Through the study on the properties of the probe, it was found that the probe can selectively enter cancer cells. The depth penetration imaging of H2O2 in cancer cells and tumor tissues by two-photon microscope proves the potential of the probe BT-HP as a tumor targeting H2O2 biosensor. The probe was further applied to detect hydrogen peroxide in cancer cells during the ferroptosis process.

Abstract
Triacetone triperoxide is one of the most common used explosives by terrorist and criminal groups, being easily synthesized with over the counter reagents. Moreover, it's difficult to detect since it contains no nitrogen. Extreme resolution mass spectrometry, based on Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry provides a way to established its composition, being able to detect its presence in complex matrixes. In this work, we investigated the detailed chemical composition of triacetone triperoxide and analysed latent fingerprints for evidence of its handling. Our results allowed the characterization of the oligoperoxides formed in the synthesis of triacetone triperoxide: oligomers dihydroperoxy terminated [H(OOC(CH3)2)nOOH] and the oligomeric acetone carbonyl oxides terminated as hydroperoxides [H(O2C(CH3)2)nOOC(O)CH3]. The discrimination between the different synthetic routes using different acid catalysts is possible given the clear differences between the mass spectrum corresponding to each case. Moreover, we identified triacetone triperoxide in latent fingerprints following its manipulation. For criminal investigation, in addition to the unambiguous detection and identification of the explosive, it is of the highest interest to identify the reagents used, who produced it and who used it for criminal purposes.

Abstract
The ability to detect traces of highly energetic explosive materials sensitively, selectively, accurately, and rapidly could be of enormous benefit to civilian national security, military applications, and environmental monitoring. Unfortunately, the detection of explosives still poses a largely unmet arduous analytical problem, making their detection an issue of burning immediacy and a massive current challenge in terms of research and development. Although numerous explosive detection approaches have been developed, these methods are usually time-consuming, require bulky equipment, tedious sample preparation, a trained operator, cannot be miniaturized, and lack the ability to perform automated real-time high-throughput analysis, strongly handicapping their mass deployment. Here, we present the first demonstration of the "direct" electrochemical approach for the sensitive, selective, and rapid vapor trace detection of TATP and HMTD, under ambient conditions, unaffected by the presence of oxygen and hydrogen peroxide species, down to concentrations lower than 10 ppb. The method is based on the use of Ag-nanoparticles-decorated carbon microfibers air-collecting electrodes (μCF), which allow for the selective direct detection of the organic peroxide explosives, through opening multiple redox routes, not existent in the undecorated carbon electrodes. Finally, we demonstrate the direct and rapid detection of TATP and HMTD explosive species from real-world air samples.

Detection of Triacetone Triperoxide (TATP) Precursors with an Array of Sensors Based on MoS₂/RGO Composites. SENSORS 2019; 19:s19061281.

Abstract
Triacetone triperoxide (TATP) is a self-made explosive synthesized from the commonly used chemical acetone (C₃H₆O) and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). As C₃H₆O and H₂O₂ are the precursors of TATP, their detection is very important due to the high risk of the presence of TATP. In order to detect the precursors of TATP effectively, hierarchical molybdenum disulfide/reduced graphene oxide (MoS₂/RGO) composites were synthesized by a hydrothermal method, using two-dimensional reduced graphene oxide (RGO) as template. The effects of the ratio of RGO to raw materials for the synthesis of MoS₂ on the morphology, structure, and gas sensing properties of the MoS₂/RGO composites were studied. It was found that after optimization, the response to 50 ppm of H₂O₂ vapor was increased from 29.0% to 373.1%, achieving an increase of about 12 times. Meanwhile, all three sensors based on MoS₂/RGO composites exhibited excellent anti-interference performance to ozone with strong oxidation. Furthermore, three sensors based on MoS₂/RGO composites were fabricated into a simple sensor array, realizing discriminative detection of three target analytes in 14.5 s at room temperature. This work shows that the synergistic effect between two-dimensional RGO and MoS₂ provides new possibilities for the development of high performance sensors.

Colorimetry with microfluidic devices has been proven to be an advantageous method for in situ analyses where limited resources and rapid response for untrained users are desired. Image analysis using a small camera or cell phone can be easily incorporated for an objective readout, eliminating variations from normal differences in color perception and environmental factors during analysis. The image analysis using the parameter hue, for example, has been utilized as a highly effective, objective analysis method that correlates with the psychological way color is perceived. Hue analysis, however, is best used for colorimetric reactions that result in distinct changes from one color to a markedly different color and can be inadequate to distinguish between subtle or monotonal (colorless-to-colored) color changes. We address this with three unique color manipulation (i.e., tinting) techniques that provide greater discrimination with such color changes, thus yielding improved limits of detection for various colorimetric reactions that may have previously been limited. Tinting is invoked through dyeing the reagent substrate, colored printing the device, or colored lighting during image capture, and is shown to effectively shift the background color of the reaction detection area. Hydrogen peroxide, a constituent of peroxide-based explosives, is associated with a monochromatic color change upon reaction, and this is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the tinting methods in improving the limit of detection from an undetectable color change to 0.1 mg mL-1.

Abstract
The increased use of peroxide-based explosives (PBEs) in criminal and terrorist activity has created a demand for continued innovation in the detection of these agents. This review provides an update to a previous 2006 review on the detection of PBEs, with a focus in this report on luminescence and fluorescence methods, infrared and Raman spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and electrochemical techniques. Newer developments in gas chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography methods are also discussed. One recent trend that is discussed is an emphasis on field measurements through the use of portable instruments or portable assay formats. An increase in the use of infrared spectroscopy and mass spectrometry for PBE analysis is also noted. The analysis of triacetone triperoxide has been the focus in the development of many of these methods, although hexamethylene triperoxide diamine has received increased attention in PBE detection during the last few years.

Abstract
There is a critical need to develop an efficient, reliable and highly selective sensor for the detection of improvised nonmilitary explosives. This paper describes the utilization of functionalized titania nanotube arrays for sensing improvised organic peroxide explosives such as triacetone triperoxide (TATP). TATP forms complexes with titania nanotube arrays (prepared by anodization and sensitized with zinc ions) and thus affects the electron state of the nanosensing device, which is signaled as a change in current of the overall nanotube material. The response is rapid and a signal of five to eight orders of magnitude is observed. These nanotube array sensors can be used as hand-held miniaturized devices as well as large scale portable units for military and homeland security applications.

Abstract
A fast, simple and sensitive electrochemical method for sensing peroxide-based explosives based on their acid treatment is reported. The method relies on the high electrocatalytic activity of Prussian-blue (PB)-modified electrodes towards the acid-generated hydrogen peroxide in the harsh acidic medium (down to pH 0.3) used for releasing hydrogen peroxide. Such effective operation of PB electrochemical sensors in strongly acidic media eliminates the need for an additional neutralization step required in analogous peroxidase-based assays (due to acid-induced enzyme deactivation processes). Factors affecting the efficiency of the acid pre-treatment of triacetone triperoxide (TATP) have been examined and optimized to allow its sensitive measurement down to the 50 ng level within 60 s. Chronoamperometric detection of microgram amounts of solid TATP, following a one-minute acid mixing and placing a 20 microL droplet onto a disposable PB-modified screen-printed electrode is illustrated. Similar results were obtained for the peroxide explosive hexamethylene triperoxide diamine (HMTD). By greatly simplifying the analytical procedure, such an acid-operated "artificial peroxidase" electrocatalytic transducer holds great promise for designing "one-step", user-friendly, miniaturized, cost-effective devices for field screening of peroxide explosives.
