Molecularly imprinted plasmonic nanosensors are robust devices capable of selective target interaction, and in some cases reaction catalysis. Recent advances in control of nanoscale structure have opened the door for development of a wide range of ch...

Recently, people are becoming more concerned about their physical health and putting forward higher requirements for an early and painless diagnosis of diseases. Traditional methods, such as surface plasmon resonance (SPR), enzyme-linked immunosorben...

Ammonium (NH4+) ions are a primary contaminant in the river and along the waterside near an agricultural area, therefore, necessitating sensitive detection of pollutants before irreversibly damaging environment. Herein, a new approach of metal-organi...

Arrays of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods were synthesized over quartz substrates by the hydrothermal method. These nanorods were grown in a predominantly vertical orientation with lengths of 500–800 nm and an average cross-sectional size of 40&ndash...

Inorganic/organic hybrids of ZnO nanorods (NRs)/bisindolo quinoxaline (BIQ) were fabricated for broadband photosensing applications. Multiple material characterizations revealed the BIQ was self-assembled in a regular form of rod-like domain and an i...

In the present work, we describe the electrochemical behaviour of two opioids structurally related to aroyl amides of forensic interest, namely U-47700 and AH-7921. The data obtained allowed for the mise-au-point of a voltammetric determination proto...

Being abundant as natural intelligence, plants have attracted huge attention from researchers. Soft film sensors present a novel and promising approach to connect plants with artificial devices, helping us to investigate plants’ intelligence further....

Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are optical surface waves propagating along a metal surface. They exhibit attributes such as field enhancement and sub-wavelength localization, which make them attractive for surface sensing, as they are heavily expl...

The growing interest in bio-inspired materials is driven by the need for increasingly targeted and efficient devices that also have a low ecological impact. These devices often use specially developed materials (e.g., polymers, aptamers, monoclonal a...

The present contribution proposes an optical method for the detection of glyphosate (GLY) using a Cu(II) bis-(oxamate) complex ([Cu(opba)]2−) as the fluorescent probe. It wa found that in acetonitrile solution, its fluorescence increases in the prese...
