Cu nanoclusters (CuNCs) capped by tannic acid (TA) (CuNCs@TA) can be used as a highly sensitive fluorescent probe for Cr(VI) detection. Therefore, a fluorescence detection method for Cr(VI) can be established according to the fluorescence quenching of CuNCs@TA that is caused immediately after the addition of Cr(VI). The fluorescence quenching efficiency of CuNCs@TA was linearly correlated with Cr(VI) concentration within the range 0.03-60 μM, and the detection limit for Cr(VI) was 5 nM. This method was demonstrated to be suitable for detecting Cr(VI) in actual water samples. We found that sodium thiosulfate (ST) can redox with Cr(VI) and therefore restore the fluorescence of CuNCs@TA. The mechanism of CuNCs@TA fluorescence quenching and enhancement by Cr(VI) and ST was investigated in detail. The 'turn-on' fluorescent sensor is of practical significance and has broad application prospects.

Methyl orange (MO) is an organic synthetic dye widely used in laboratory and industrial applications. In laboratory settings, it serves as an acid-base indicator due to its distinct color change in both acidic and alkaline environments. Industrially, it is primarily utilized in the textile industry for its ultraviolet (UV) absorption properties.

Small organic photothermal agents (PTAs) with dual photothermal and imaging functions in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window present a promising strategy for deep tumor treatment, however, fluorescence quenching conventional PTAs and low photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) present obstacles to their widespread application. In this study, a novel "dendritic donor engineering" strategy was employed to design NIR-II organic PTAs (named DCTBBT and TCTBBT) with donor-π-acceptor-π-donor features and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) activity. Owing to the fine-tuning of the dendritic donors, the close co-facial packing of the central π-backbone was disrupted, effectively avoiding fluorescence quenching caused by π-π aggregation, which facilitated molecule-free motions in aggregate state, and as a result, the DCTBBT nanoparticles (NPs) demonstrated a PCE of 59.

The problems of poor water solubility, poor stability, and poor selectivity encountered in the determination of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) in water using ZnO QDs need to be addressed. In this study, we successfully prepared Sm-doped, -NH-modified Sm:ZnO-NH QDs via the sol-gel method. Sm doping was used to enhance the fluorescence intensity of ZnO QDs, while 3-aminopropyltrietoxysilane (APTEs) capping improved their water solubility and fluorescence stability.

Developing analytical methods for simultaneous detection of multiple antibiotic residues is crucial for environmental protection and human health. In this study, a dual lanthanide fluorescence probe (GDP-Eu-Tb) based on nucleotides has been designed. The addition of quinolone antibiotics (QNs) quench the Eu fluorescence signal through the inner filter effect (IFE) and exhibit characteristic peaks, enabling ratio fluorescence detection of levofloxacin (LVLX), gatifloxacin (GTLX), and moxifloxacin (MXLX).
