There is great need for stand-alone luminescence-based chemosensors that exemplify
selectivity, sensitivity, and applicability and that overcome the challenges that arise from …

Sensors for pesticides with high sensitivity have been urgently required to control food
safety, protect ecosystem and prevent disease. In this review, we provide an overview of …

Pesticides, widely used for pest control and plant growth regulation, have posed a threat to
the environment and human health. Conventional methods to analyze pesticide residues …

The syntheses of colloidal silicon nanocrystals (Si-NCs) with dimensions in the 3–4 nm size
regime as well as effective methodologies for their functionalization with alkyl, amine …

High pesticide use, especially in agriculture, can lead to environmental pollution and
potentially adverse health effects. As result, pesticide residues end up in different media …

A simple and highly efficient method for dopamine (DA) detection using water-soluble silicon
nanoparticles (SiNPs) was reported. The SiNPs with a high quantum yield of 23.6% were …

In this work, we develop a novel and sensitive sensor for the detection of organophosphorus
pesticides based on the inner-filter effect (IFE) between gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and …

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown considerable prospects for sensing
pesticide residues. However, the low stability of MOFs in water hinders them from testing …

In this study, a highly sensitive upconversion fluorescence (FL) biosensor was developed for
the detection of organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) based on an acetylcholinesterase …

A variety of silicon-based nanostructures with dimensions in the 1–5 nm range now emit
tunable photoluminescence (PL) spanning the visible range. Achievement of high …
