Abstract
The pH value of human sweat serves as a crucial biomarker for disease diagnosis, rendering wearable sweat sensors an innovative tool for monitoring human health. However, the commercialization of these devices is seriously impeded by their low sensitivity, poor wearing comfort, and limited reusability. In this work, a reactive dye capable of color change under pH change has been synthesized. Due to the unique molecular structure, the dye molecule exhibits remarkable color change recognition and high sensitivity. To fabricate a wearable pH sensor, screen printing technology was employed for depositing the color-changing dye onto cotton fabric. The resulting sensor demonstrated excellent performance attributes including high color sensitivity, robust cyclic stability in response to pH changes, and exceptional resistance against washing, friction, and sunlight-induced fading. Therefore, this study presents a highly promising approach for achieving real-time monitoring of human sweat pH levels.
期刊介绍:
JPPA publishes the results of fundamental studies on all aspects of chemical phenomena induced by interactions between light and molecules/matter of all kinds.
All systems capable of being described at the molecular or integrated multimolecular level are appropriate for the journal. This includes all molecular chemical species as well as biomolecular, supramolecular, polymer and other macromolecular systems, as well as solid state photochemistry. In addition, the journal publishes studies of semiconductor and other photoactive organic and inorganic materials, photocatalysis (organic, inorganic, supramolecular and superconductor).
The scope includes condensed and gas phase photochemistry, as well as synchrotron radiation chemistry. A broad range of processes and techniques in photochemistry are covered such as light induced energy, electron and proton transfer; nonlinear photochemical behavior; mechanistic investigation of photochemical reactions and identification of the products of photochemical reactions; quantum yield determinations and measurements of rate constants for primary and secondary photochemical processes; steady-state and time-resolved emission, ultrafast spectroscopic methods, single molecule spectroscopy, time resolved X-ray diffraction, luminescence microscopy, and scattering spectroscopy applied to photochemistry. Papers in emerging and applied areas such as luminescent sensors, electroluminescence, solar energy conversion, atmospheric photochemistry, environmental remediation, and related photocatalytic chemistry are also welcome.
