Abstract This review explores the current state-of-the-art wireless and mobile optical chemical sensors and biosensors. The review is organised into three sections, each of which investigates a major class of wireless and/or mobile optical chemical sensor: (i) optical sensors integrated with a radio transmitter/transceiver, (ii) wearable optical sensors, and (iii) smartphone camera-based sensors. In each section, the specific challenges and trade-offs surrounding the (bio)chemical sensing mechanism and material architecture, miniaturisation, integration, power requirements, readout, and sensitivity are explored with detailed examples of sensor systems from the literature. The analysis of 77 original research articles published between 2007 and 2017 reveals that healthcare and medicine, environmental monitoring, food quality, and sport and fitness are the target markets for wireless and mobile optical chemical sensor systems. In particular, the current trend for personal fitness tracking is driving research into novel colourimetric wearable sensors with smartphone readout. We conclude that despite the challenges, mobile and wearable optical chemical sensor systems are set to play a major role in the sensor Internet of Things.

ABSTRACTMolecular imprinting leads to functional polymers that are capable to incorporate the template used and thus lead to selective chemical sensor systems when combined with a suitable transducer. Benzene and xylene can e.g. be distinguished with a selectivity factor of nearly ten using mass-sensitive devices such as QCM and SAW, although they both contain an aromatic system and differ only by the methyl groups. Sensing materials are further tuned by using binary mixtures as templates. When analyzing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) by fluorescence and QCM measurements, the sensitivity is substantially increased if a second template molecule is applied as a porogen. Capacitive sensor measurements on polymers imprinted with microorganisms, such as yeasts, show substantial sensor responses due to highly selective inclusion compared with a non-functionalised surface yielding only negligible effects.

Plutonium has potential applications in energy production in well-controlled nuclear reactors. Since nuclear power plants have great merit as environmentally friendly energy sources with a recyclable system, a recycling system for extracting Pu from spent fuels using suitable extractants has been proposed. Pu leakage is a potential environmental hazard, hence the need for chemical sensor development. Both extractants and chemical sensors involve metal–ligand interactions and to develop efficient extractants and chemical sensors, structural information about Pu ligands must be obtained by quantum calculations. Herein, six representative nitrogen tridentate ligands were introduced, and their binding stabilities were evaluated. The tridentate L6, which contains tri-pyridine chelate with benzene connectors, showed the highest binding energies for Pu(IV) and PuO2(VI) in water. Analysis based on the quantum theory of atoms in molecular analysis, including natural population analysis and electron density studies, provided insight into the bonding characteristics for each structure. We propose that differences in ionic bonding characteristics account for the Pu-ligand stability differences. These results form a basis for designing novel extractants and organic Pu sensors.
