New nanocomposites, Fe3O4@Au–FITC, were prepared and explored to develop a fluorescent detection of Pb2+. The Fe3O4@AuNPs–FITC nanocomposites could be etched by Pb2+ in the presence of Na2S2O3, leading to fluorescence recovery of FITC quenched by Fe3O4@Au nanocomposites. With the increase of Pb2+ concentration, the fluorescence recovery of Fe3O4@AuNPs–FITC increased gradually. Under optimized conditions, a detection limit of 5.2 nmol/L of Pb2+ with a linear range of 0.02–2.0 µmol/L were obtained. The assay demonstrated negligible response to common metal ions. Recoveries of 98.2–106.4% were obtained when this fluorescent method was applied in detecting Pb2+ spiked in a lake-water sample. The above results demonstrated the high potential of ion-induced nanomaterial etching in developing robust fluorescent assays.

In this work, a novel 7-hydroxybenzoxazinone-based fluorescent probe (PBD) for the selective sensing of biothiols is reported. Upon treatment with biothiols, PBD shows a strong fluorescence enhancement (up to 70-fold) and a large Stokes shift (155 nm). Meanwhile, this probe exhibits high resistance to interference from other amino acids and competing species. PBD features good linearity ranges with a low detection limit of 14.5 nM for glutathione (GSH), 17.5 nM for cysteine (Cys), and 80.0 nM for homocysteine (Hcy), respectively. Finally, the potential utility of this probe for biothiol sensing in living HeLa cells is demonstrated.

Since hydrogen peroxide plays an important role in various fields, a facile, simple, highly selective, and stable analytic method for H2O2 is desirable. Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have acted as a potential alternative for organic fluorophores in fluorescence analytical fields due to their superior optical properties. Herein, we report hydrophilic p-hydroxy thiophenol (p-HTP) coated CdSe/ZnS QDs (denoted as p-HTP-QDs) acting as a selective fluorescence ‘turn-on’ probe for H2O2 in aqueous media. The obtained p-HTP-QD probe exhibits weak fluorescence, which stems from hole transfer from the QDs to p-HTP. The presence of H2O2 induces an oxidative structural transformation of p-HTP in p-HTP-QDs from a phenol structure to an α-hydroxy ketone derivative, which extremely reduces the driving force for hole transfer. Thus, the QDs photoluminescence (PL) was re-switched on. Under optimized conditions, an excellent linear relationship between fluorescence response and H2O2 concentration could be produced with a linear range from 0.309 to 4.900mM. The limit of detection of this probe was found to be 0.135mM. Moreover, the present probe exhibited a high selectivity of H2O2 over other reactive oxygen species/reactive nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) and was successfully used in the detection of H2O2 in real water samples.

A highly sensitive chemiluminescence enzyme immunoassay (CLEIA) method for the determination of bisphenol A (BPA) was developed, which used a secondary antibody labeled with horseradish peroxidase detected with a luminol-based substrate. Under the optimized conditions, the linear range was 0.01μg/mL~0.74μg/mL, and the detection limit was 0.008μg/mL. The average recovery for BPA in barreled water was 104%. This developed method could be applied for the selective, high-throughput, and rapid determination of BPA in barreled water.

The well-dispersed AuNPs exhibited a tendency to aggregate when exposed to cartap with positively charged amine groups, which induced an absorption band transition from 522 nm to the long-wavelength band, and restored the IFE-decreased emission of CdTe QDs for cartap detection.
