Rare earth elements are essential in many real-life applications, but their steady supply is being affected by multiple challenges. The recycling of lanthanides from electronic and other waste is thus gaining momentum which makes the detection of lanthanides with high sensitivity and selectivity a critical area of research. We now report a paper-based photoluminescent sensor for the rapid detection of terbium and europium with low detection limit (nM), which has the potential to facilitate recycling processes.

Article Synopsis
- Norfloxacin and ofloxacin are second-generation fluoroquinolone antibiotics that are hard to tell apart using traditional techniques due to their similar chemical structures.
- A new cocktail using terbium (Tb), europium (Eu), and cholate has been created to distinguish and quickly measure these drugs' concentrations when they are mixed.
- A gel-based paper sensor was developed to effectively detect and quantify these antibiotics individually, achieving a detection limit lower than 100 nM.
