With rapid development of nuclear industry, the overexploitation of uranium has brought a
series of radioactive pollution problems to water, soil, atmosphere and ecosystem. Uranium …

It is still a challenge for scientists to eliminate interference and improve chromatic aberration
in designing colorimetric uranyl ions sensors, and it is also not clear how the species of …

Fluorescent quantum dots (QDs) of carbon and semiconductors have superior optical
properties and show great potential in sensing applications. This paper reports a novel …

An ever-growing demand for uranium in various industries raises concern for human health
of both occupationally exposed personnel and the general population. Toxicological effects …

To precisely determine uranium in aqueous solution, we combined the synthesis of gold
nanoparticles (AuNPs) with stripping voltammetry to develop a new electrochemical …

Radioactive contamination is a highly concerning global environmental issue along with the
development of the nuclear industry. On account of sophisticated operations and high cost of …

Uranyl (UO22+) is a form of uranium in aqueous solution that represents the greatest risk to
human health because of its bioavailability. Different sensing techniques have been used …

A novel tetraphenylethene-based fluorescent sensor, TPE-T, was developed for the
detection of uranyl ions. The selective binding of TPE-T to uranyl ions resulted in a …

A metal ion indicator, Alizarin Red S, was tested for its potential use in uranium selective
optode membrane. The water-soluble indicator was lipophilized in the form of an ion pair …

Two novel uranyl PVC matrix membrane sensors responsive to uranyl ion are described.
The first sensor incorporates tris (2-ethylhexyl) phosphate (TEHP) as both electroactive …
