Abstract Detection of blood-carried volatile organic compounds (VOCs) existing in the exhaled breath of human is an attractive research point for noninvasive diagnosis of diseases. In this research, we introduce a novel application of photonic crystals (PCs) for the detection of isoprene traces in the exhaled breath as a biomarker for liver fibrosis. This idea is introduced for the first time according to the best of our knowledge. The proposed sensor structure is a one-dimensional (1D) PC constructed from a multilayer stack of two dielectric materials covered with an air cavity layer filled with the dry exhaled breath (DEB) and a thin metallic layer of Au is attached on the top surface. Hence, the proposed sensor is configured as, [prism/Au/air cavity/(GaN/SiO2)10]. The transfer matrix method and the Drude model are adopted to calculate the numerical simulations and reflection spectra of the design. The essential key for sensing isoprene levels is the resonant optical Tamm plasmon (TP) states within the photonic bandgap. The obtained numerical results are promising such as high sensitivity (S) of 0.321 nm/ppm or 278720 nm/RIU. This technique can be reducing the risk of infection during the taking of blood samples by syringe. Also, it can prevent the pain of patients. Finally, this work opens the door for the detection of many diseases by analyzing the breaths of patients based on photonic crystals.

In this study, a metal-free carbon nitride (CN) was investigated for the first time as a potential fluorescence sensor for detection of nitrate ions (NO3-). The CN was prepared through thermal polymerization of urea precursor at 823 K and characterized by diffuse reflectance ultraviolet-visible (DR UV-Vis), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and fluorescence spectroscopies. The DR UV-Vis spectrum confirmed that CN could absorb light up to 450 nm. On the other hand, the FTIR spectrum revealed the presence of graphitic CN single and double bond characters in the 800-1700 cm-1 region. From the fluorescence spectroscopy, three excitation peaks at 278, 310 and 369 nm were observed due to the presence of N=C, C=O and N-C groups, respectively. The fluorescence sensor capability of the CN was then investigated using concentrations of NO3- in the range of 300-1800 mM. It was confirmed that the intensities of the emission sites were quenched linearly with the concentrations of the NO3-. The CN showed good reproducibility with relative standard deviation (RSD) values were 1.5-7.2%.  These results suggested that CN can act as the fluorescence sensor for NO3-.

Due to its high toxicity, Pb2+ pollution is a serious threat for human health and environments. However, in situ real-time detection of Pb2+ pollution is difficult and laboratory instruments are usually required. Then, the possibility to monitor water quality without laboratory instruments could lead to the extensive assessment of polluted water sources, especially in rural environments and developing countries where large lead concentrations are often found in surface water. Consequently, new simple colorimetric sensors are highly interesting in the field. In this work we report for the first time disposable polymer planar 1D photonic crystals made of poly (N-vinylcarbazole) as high refractive index medium and sodium alginate as low refractive index and active medium for the detection of Pb2+ in water. The detection relies on the ionic exchange occurring into the alginate matrix. This process effectively induces a physical cross-linking phenomenon, which inhibits water solubilization of the polymer. In turn, this affects the spectral response of the planar 1D photonic crystals modifying its color.
