Hydrazine (NH) is one of the commonly used chemical reagents in numerous industries and applications but its toxicity to humans poses a need to develop simple visual detection methods. Herein, we demonstrate a novel dual-mode system to detect and simultaneously consume hydrazine in vapour and solution by using a small photoresponsive molecule that has altered optical response (both colourimetric and fluorescent) after reacting with hydrazine.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) serve as potential biomarkers for many diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and cardiovascular conditions. The portable and accurate detection of miRNA is of great significance for the early diagnosis, treatment optimization and prognostic evaluation of diseases. Herein, a photothermal/visual dual-mode assay for let-7a is developed utilizing oxidized 3, 3', 5, 5' - tetramethylbenzidine (oxTMB) as signal reporter.

The denatured bovine serum albumin (dBSA) is coupled with the CdTe/CdS quantum dot and the resulting CdTe/CdS@dBSA complex is assembled and retained in the poly(n-isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAM) hydrogel via regulating temperature and pH to form the CdTe/CdS@dBSA-PNIPAM fluorescence hydrogel substrate, which is able to adsorb and sense cadmium ions (Cd). Based on this fluorescence hydrogel, a fluorescence and colorimetric dual-mode detection system is established to quantitatively detect Cd with a limit of detection (LOD) of 2.88 nM for fluorescence detection and 11.

A composite nanomaterial of Prussian blue@gold nanoparticles (PB@Au) with catalytic and photothermal properties was proposed, which combined with anti-matrix interference aptamers to achieve robust specificity and sensitivity in the detection of Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium). The detection probe, PB@Au-Aptamer (PB@Au-Apt), was designed to exhibit high specificity for the target and catalyze the signal generation to produce a color change, thereby enabling rapid detection.

Visual, sensitive, and selective detection of carcinogenic substances is highly desired in portable health protection and practical medicine production. However, achieving this goal presents significant challenges with the traditional single-mode sensors reported so far, as they have limited sensing mechanisms and provide only a single output signal. Here, we report an effective optical and electrical dual-mode sensor for the visual, sensitive, and selective detection of -nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA), a typical volatile carcinogenic substance, leveraging the synergy of ionic liquid-doped liquid crystals (IL-LC).

Organophosphorus (OPs) pesticide residues pose significant threats to human health and the environment. To tackle this issue, we synthesized water-soluble fluorescent conjugated polymer nanoparticles (WSCPNs), which offer high fluorescence intensity, simple preparation methods, and ease of functionalization, making them ideal candidates for fluorescent sensing applications. These WSCPNs were subsequently used to prepare a WSCPNs@MnO probe via in situ synthesis, resulting in efficient fluorescence resonance energy transfer between WSCPNs and MnO₂.
