In this study, 1-vinylimidazole units bearing photocured films were prepared as fluorescent sensors towards Pb(2+) in aqueous solutions. The influence of experimental parameters such as pH, time and foreign ion concentrations were investigated. Sensor response was linear over a concentration range of 4.83×10(-8) to 4.83×10(-7) mol L(-1). The sensor was highly sensitive with a detection limit as low as 1.87×10(-8)molL(-1), and having a selectivity of over four thousand fold. The response time of the sensor was found to be 5 min. When stored in a desiccator at room temperature the sensor showed good stability after a 5 month period. The fluorescence sensors were successful in the determination of Pb(2+) in water samples as well as in the determination of the quantitative amount of lead and the results were satisfying. Compared with previously reported literature, the prepared new sensor is highly sensitive and selective.

Developing cost-effective and efficient analytical methods is essential for detecting chlorogenic acid (CGA), as excessive consumption of CGA, despite its significant antioxidant, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties, can cause serious health problems. The remarkable progress and adjustable features of nanomaterials have significantly improved the analytical capabilities of electrochemical sensors for CGA. This review examines the use of optimally engineered nanomaterials in CGA electrochemical sensors, emphasizing the design and modification strategies of various nanomaterials.

Continuous and reagentless biomolecular detection technologies are bringing an evolutionary influence on disease diagnostics and treatment. Aptamers are attractive as specific recognition probes because they are capable of regeneration without washing. Unfortunately, the affinity and dissociation kinetics of the aptamers developed to date show an inverse relationship, preventing continuous and reagentless detection of protein targets due to their low dissociation rates.

Flexible hydrogel sensors have found extensive applications. However, the insufficient sensing sensitivity and the propensity to freeze at low temperatures restrict their use, particularly in frigid conditions. Herein, a multifunctional eutectogel with high transparency, anti-freezing, anti-swelling, adhesive, and self-healing properties is prepared by a one-step photopolymerization of acrylic acid and lauryl methacrylate in a binary solvent comprising water and deep eutectic solvent (DES).

A self-powered dual-electrode aptasensor was developed for the detection of tumor marker carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). The composite BiVO/ZnInS, which is capable of forming a Z-scheme heterojunction, was chosen as the photoanode, and the AuNP/CuBiO complex was chosen as the photocathode in photoelectrochemical (PEC) detection. The experiments showed that the constructed self-powered dual-electrode system had a good photoelectric response to white light, and the photocurrent signal of the photocathode was significantly enhanced under the influence of the photoanode.

The rapid development of low-cost sensors provides the opportunity to greatly advance the scope and extent of monitoring of indoor air pollution. In this study, calibrated particle matter (PM) sensors and a non-negative matrix factorisation (NMF) source apportionment technique are used to investigate PM concentrations and source contributions across three households in an urban residential area. The NMF is applied to combined data from all houses to generate source profiles that can be used to understand how PM source characteristics are similar or differ between different households in the same urban area.
