Benefiting from specific target recognition and trans-cleavage capabilities, the CRISPR/Cas12a system has great application prospects in the design of highly sensitive and rapid fluorescence biosensors. The CRISPR/Cas12a-based fluorophore-quencher molecular beacons exhibit single-color emission and are easily exposed to interference from environmental factors. Herein, we design a CRISPR/Cas12a-derived ratiometric fluorescence sensor for Pb 2+ detection based on embedded carbon dots@zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (CDs@ZIF-8) composites and DNAzyme. The functions of ZIF-8 about encapsulating red emissive CDs in the inner cavity and adsorbing DNA on the outer surface are integrated to establish dual fluorescence signals, thereby reducing the possibility of interference and improving sensing accuracy. The presence of Pb 2+ is converted into the change of activator by the GR5 DNAzyme to activate the CRISPR/Cas12a system, which provides signal amplification through multiple turnovers of side branch cutting, achieving highly sensitive detection of Pb 2+ with a low detection limit of 18 pM. This method has the advantages of simplicity, universality, and excellent quantitative ability, and has broad prospects in sensing applications.

Lead contamination has posed a potential threat to the environment and food safety, arousing extensive concern. In this work, we fabricated a novel fluorescent sensing platform based on zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) and DNAzyme for monitoring Pb2+ in water and fish samples. ZIF-8 was proposed as a fluorescence quencher with the advantages of simple synthesis, low cost, and high quenching efficiency. The Pb2+-dependent GR5 DNAzyme containing the large ssDNA loop can be adsorbed onto ZIF-8 accompanied by fluorescence quenching. Upon binding with Pb2+, GR5 DNAzyme was activated and cleaved, leading to the release of FAM-labeled 5-base ssDNA, which restored the fluorescence. The “turn-on” assay can detect Pb2+ through the one-pot procedure in the range of 0.01–10.0 nM with a detection limit of 7.1 pM. The platform is promising for on-site monitoring of Pb2+ owing to the excellent performance of high sensitivity, low background, strong anti-interference ability, and simple operation.

In this work, 3-aminophenylboronic acid was used as the starting materials to construct boron and nitrogen co-doped carbon dots with tunable dual-emission intensity at 420 and 540 nm with different excitation at 360 and 500 nm, respectively. The dual-emission carbon dots sensor is employed for rapid and sensitive fluorescence-enhancing detection of Pb 2+ . Compared with previous reported methods, their method showed better linear ranges or detection limits. Under the optimal conditions, the limit of detection of 0.9 nM for Pb 2+ was reached with a wide range of 9 nM to 438 μM. The authors believe that the established method has more opportunities for application for other environmental targets.

Developing electroactive materials with superior sensitivity, selectivity, and so on is an important issue for target ions detection. Hierarchically heterostructured nanomaterials represent a kind of promising active materials for electrochemical sensors due to the synthetic effect between different components and the high surface area. Herein, heterostructured UIO-66-NH 2 /CNTs nanocomposites have been successfully synthesized via the solvothermal method and investigated for the detection of Pb 2+ ions. The SEM, TEM, XRD and FTIR collectively confirmed that the UIO-66-NH 2 was successfully loaded on the surface of the CNTs. The specific surface areas of the UIO-66-NH 2 /CNTs are 4–7 times higher than that of activated CNTs and more mesoporous structures appear in composite materials. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements showed that the concentration of CNTs could influence the electron mobility and the UIO-66-NH 2 /CNTs-15 exhibits the lowest charge transfer resistance and the highest capacitive property. The cyclic voltammetry study towards K 3 [Fe(CN) 6 ] further demonstrated that the CNTs can improve the conductivity of the composites especially for the UIO-66-NH 2 /CNTs-15, which was conducive to the sensing behavior confirmed by follow-up performance experiments. Under the optimized condition, UIO-66-NH 2 /CNTs-15 exhibits the best sensing performance towards Pb 2+ . Correspondingly, a high sensitivity of 1.64 μA (μmol/L) −1 and a low detection limitation of 0.206 μmol/L (S/N = 3) are achieved. Meanwhile, a wide detection range, excellent selectivity, repeatability, and stability are also obtained. The recovery experiment by standard addition method is also carried out and a satisfactory result has been attained indicating a promising sensor for practical application.

The fabrication of stimulus-responsive polydiacetylene (PDA) materials with thermochromic reversibility is highly valuable for displays, optoelectronic devices, and sensors. Herein, a type of bis-diacetylene monomer (bis-DA) covalently linked by 1,4-phenylene diisocyanate was synthesized. Owing to the strong hydrogen-bonding interactions, a reversible color transition can be realized for the polymerized bis-diacetylene (bis-PDA) film in the temperature range from 30 to 150 °C. The excellent linear relationship between the colorimetric response values and temperature (from 90 to 150 °C) with an R2 value of 0.992 demonstrated that the as-prepared bis-PDA sensor can be used for the quantitative analysis of temperature. Meanwhile, the bis-PDA film displayed a reversible thermochromic property upon exposure to 980 nm near-infrared light at a relatively high power density. In addition, hybrid PDA vesicles that consist of DA and bis-DA monomers with a molar ratio of 1:1 can be utilized as sensitive, specific, and visual sensors for the detection of Pb2+ ions, with a satisfactory limit of detection of 0.15 μM. This work not only offers a fundamental understanding of the mechanism of the thermochromic property of PDA but also may broaden the applications of PDA-based sensors.

Lead is a highly toxic heavy metal, and various functional nucleic acid (FNA)-based biosensors have been developed for the detection of Pb2+ in environmental monitoring. However, most fluorescence biosensors that have been reported were designed on the basis of a double-labeled (fluorophore and quencher group) DNA sequence, which not only involved an inconvenient organic synthesis but also restricted their wider use in practical applications. Here, we utilized a G-rich DNA sequence as a recognition probe and conjugated fluorene (CF) to develop a fluorescence sensor without a quencher based on the aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect. In the presence of Pb2+, the degree of aggregation of CF was reduced because Pb2+ induced the formation of a G-quadruplex structure of the CF-DNA probe, and the fluorescence signal increased with the concentration of Pb2+ (0–1 μM), with a limit of detection of 0.36 nM. This fluorescent probe without a quencher enables the sensitive and selective detection of Pb2+. On the basis of these advantages, the CF-DNA probe represents a promising analytical method for detecting Pb2+.

Based on a Pb 2+ -specific 8–17 DNAzyme-induced catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA), a simple signal-on fluorescence strategy for lead ion detection was established. 8–17 DNAzyme was used as the recognition element of Pb 2+ , which catalyzed the cleavage of the RNA base embedded in the DNA substrate strand, while releasing part of the substrate strand (S’) as CHA initiator. And two hairpin probes (H1 and H2-FQ) were designed according to the sequence of S’ for CHA, in which H2-FQ was labeled with the fluorophore FAM and quencher BHQ-1 as fluorescent “molecular switch” based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). In the presence of Pb 2+ , the CHA reaction was triggered to form a large number of H1-H2 complexes, enabling enzyme-free isothermal amplification and a signal-on fluorescence strategy. In the concentration range of 0.5–1000 nM, the fluorescence signal increases with the increase of Pb 2+ concentration. The quantitative detection limit of Pb 2+ by this method is 0.5 nM, which has better detection performance compared with the FQ-labeled 8–17 DNAzyme method. The established biosensor exhibits good specificity and can be effectively used for the detection of Pb 2+ in real samples of river water and grass carp. Through ingenious nucleic acid sequence design, DNAzyme and CHA reactions are integrated to realize the enzyme-free isothermal amplifications and sensitive detection of Pb 2+ , which holds potential versatility in food supervision and environmental monitoring.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials are widely used in heavy metal ion detection due to their high specific surface area and abundant active sites. Herein, we prepared highly selective and sensitive electrochemical sensors based on 2D graphitic-phase carbon nitride for the detection of Cu2+ and Pb2+ ions and investigated the effects of both tensile and compressive strains on the corresponding detection sensitivity, together with their mechanism. The prepared carbon nitride nanosheet sensors showed detection sensitivities of 3.63 and 0.41 μA·μM·cm–2, detection ranges of 0.2–100 and 6–100 μM, and detection limits of 0.0033 and 0.23 μM for Cu2+ and Pb2+, respectively. The induced compressive strain of −0.25% in the 2D CNNS significantly improved the sensitivity by 40.5% and 31.7%, while the tensile strain of +0.25% reduced the sensitivity by 41.9% and 43.9% in detecting Cu2+ and Pb2+ as compared to those at zero strain, respectively. Through DFT calculations, the corresponding compressive strain of −0.25% reduced the band gap from 1.21 eV under zero strain to 0.94 eV. On the contrary, the tensile strain of +0.25% increased the band gap from 1.21 to 1.45 eV, resulting from the contribution of orbitals of C-p and N-p. The declined and raised band gaps, respectively, result in increased and decreased electron transport rates, thereby improving and degrading the sensitivities of the sensors. Our research provides guidance on the design of flexible wearable sensors integrated into the construction of sensitive and reliable heavy ion detection systems.

CdTe quantum dots (QDs) modified with 4-aminoantipyrine shrink 2,5-dihydroxylbenzadehyde Schiff base were synthesized and characterized using infrared spectrum (FTIR), ultraviolet-visible spectrum (UV-vis), photoluminescence (PL), TEM and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The as-prepared
fluorescent switch was subjected to the determination of Pb2+ by the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). There were two successive linear relationships between the fluorescent intensity and Pb2+ concentration, in the concentration range of 0.01–100 μmol/L
and 100–10000 μmol/L with r = 0.9994 and r = 0.9996, respectively, and accompanying with 3.0 nmol/L limit of detection. The proposed method was successfully applied to detect Pb2+ in industrial sewage samples and the results showed that the relative
standard deviation was less than 4.1%, with a recovery of 96.7–102%.

A novel metal-organic framework (MOF) material, flake-like NH 2 -MIL-53(Cr), was prepared by a simple reflux method and then characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The as-prepared MOF was found to be an effective material for the selective electrochemical detection of microgram levels of Pb 2+ in aqueous solution. Detection was performed by square wave anodic stripping voltammetry. The NH 2 -MIL-53(Cr)-modified electrode showed excellent selectivity and stability for Pb 2+ detection. The electrochemical properties and applications of the modified electrode were studied. Operational parameters such as pH, deposition potential, and deposition time, were also optimized to detect trace amounts of metal ions. This method offers a new strategy for heavy metal detection using MOF materials.

In this study, highly water-soluble Mn-doped ZnS quantum dots (QDs) capped by 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) were successfully synthesized by three different synthetic methods. By comparison, QDs prepared by hydrothermal synthesis method at 100 °C heating for 2 h had the best phosphorescence emission properties. Room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) could be remarkably and selectively quenched by Pb2+ in a pH 3.8 NaAc–HAc buffer solution. Based on the abovementioned finding, a simple, sensitive, and selective phosphorescence method for rapid detection of Pb2+ was successfully developed using MPA-capped Mn-doped ZnS QDs as a probe. Under the optimized conditions, the RTP intensity ratio of P0/P had a good linear relationship with Pb2+ concentration in the concentration ranges of 4 × 10−8–90 × 10−8 mol L−1 and 90 × 10−8–600 × 10−8 mol L−1 with the correlation coefficients of 0.9967 and 0.9970, which well followed the Stern–Volmer quenching equation, and the Stern–Volmer quenching constants were 8.41 × 105 L mol−1 and 3.452 × 106 L mol−1, respectively. The detection limit was 3.69 × 10−8 mol L−1, and the relative standard deviation for 11 repeated detections of 60 × 10−8 mol L−1 Pb2+ was 2.8%. According to the analysis of the Stern–Volmer quenching equation, UV-Vis absorption spectra, decay curves of phosphorescence emission, and phosphorescence lifetime, the quenching mechanism may imply that energy transfer and charge transfer in the interaction of MPA-capped Mn-doped ZnS QDs at the excited state with Pb2+ made QDs lose excitation energy. This resulted in phosphorescence of QDs causing dynamic quenching. The proposed method was successfully applied to detect Pb2+ in real water samples with satisfactory results, and the recoveries ranged from 93% to 109.3%. The developed method was simple, rapid, and specific and could effectively avoid fluorescence interference of the system, which opened up a promising prospect for the sensitive, convenient, and fast sensing and monitoring of small molecule pollutants in water based on phosphorescence sensors.

Glass nanopore is an ideal candidate for biosensors due to its unique advantages such as label-free analysis, single-molecule sensitivity, and easy operation. Previous studies have shown that glass nanopores can distinguish different lengths of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) at the same time with the length-resolution ability. Based on this, we proposed a novel design of a dsDNA block containing a programmable sensing site inside, which can be programmed to respond to different target molecules and cleaved into two smaller DNA blocks. When programming the sensing site with different sequences, for example, programming it as the substrate of GR-5 DNAzyme and CRISPR-Cas12a system, the DNA block could realize Pb2+ and cfDNA detection with the length-resolution ability of the glass nanopore. This strategy achieved a Pb2+ detection range from 0.5 nM to 100 nM, with a detection limit of 0.4 nM, and a BRCA-1 detection range from 1 pM to 10 pM, with a detection limit of 1 pM. The programable sensing site is easy to design and has strong expandability, which gives full play to the advantages of glass nanopore in length-resolution ability for dsDNA, and is expected to become an optional design for biosensing strategy for the glass nanopore as a biosensing platform.
