A novel rhodamine derivative (Rh-C), synthesized by the reaction of rhodamine ethylenediamine and cinnamoyl chloride, was evaluated as a chemoselective Hg(2+) ion sensor. Addition of Hg(2+) to an ethanol aqueous solution of the Rh-C resulted in a color change from colorless to obvious pink color together with distinctive changes in UV-vis absorption spectrum and fluorescence spectrum. However, other common alkali-, alkaline earth-, transition- and rare earth metal ions induced no or minimal spectral changes. The interaction of Hg(2+) and sensor Rh-C was proven to adopt a 1:1 binding stoichiometry and the recognition process is reversible. The chemosensor displayed a linear response to Hg(2+) in the range of 0.4-5 μM with a detection limit of 7.4 × 10(-8) M. The sensor Rh-C was also successfully applied to the imaging of Hg(2+) in HL-7702 cells.

Design of highly efficient electrocatalysts for alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is of paramount importance for water electrolysis, but still a considerable challenge because of the slow HER kinetics in alkaline environments. Alloying is recognized as an effective strategy to enhance the catalytic properties. Lanthanides (Ln) are recognized as an electronic and structural regulator, attributed to their unique 4f electron behavior and the phenomenon known as lanthanide contraction.

Crystalline phase regulation could optimize the band gap, which has a great impact on the amount of chemisorbed gas molecules on the gas sensing materials. Herein, a facile route of hydrothermal method followed by calcination treatment was used to synthesize cubic bixbyite-type (C-InO), rhombohedral corundum-type (Rh-InO) and the mixed phase InO (Rh+C-InO). The band gap of C-InO was narrowed to a suitable value (2.

The proposed sensor is constructed using cascaded FP interferometers comprised of an air cavity formed by a hollow-core fiber (HCF), a chitosan cavity, and an air-chitosan hybrid cavity. The chitosan cavity is fabricated by dipping the HCF into a chitosan solution to form a thin chitosan film.

The reagent Rh-C, incorporating a rhodamine moiety and a coumarin backbone and prepared via click chemistry, was developed as the first single molecule for detecting Cu2+, Fe3+ and Cr3+. Its response to Cu2+ in different solutions is visible to the naked eye and it exhibits a ratiometric fluorescence response to Fe3+ in methanol and Cr3+ in acetonitrile.
