Fluoride ions are highly relevant in environmental and biological sciences, and there is a
very limited number of established fluoride chemical sensors. Previous fluoride-selective …

A novel type of ion-selective nano-optode is proposed, in which a conjugated polymer is
used as optical transducer and nanoprobe material. Thus, contrary to most of the proposed …

The tools for optically imaging cellular potassium concentrations in real-time are currently
limited to a small set of molecular indicator dyes. Quantum dot-based nanosensors are more …

To enrich the recipes of ion-selective nanosensors, graphene quantum dots (GQDs) were
integrated into ionophore-based fluorescent nanosensors with exquisite selectivity and high …

An enzyme-linked analytical nanosphere sensor (ANSor) is described, responding to
enzyme− substrate turnover in the vicinity of a quantum dot (QD) due to coimmobilized …

Nanoscale ionophore-based ion-selective optodes (nano-ISOs) are effective sensing tools
for in situ and real time measurements of ion concentrations in biological and environmental …
