Abstract

Water contamination by nickel poses serious risks to human health and ecosystems, underscoring the need for simple and effective sensor-based detection methods. This critical review covers research reported between 2006 and 2024 and explores the relationship between molecular design, structural motifs, and the performance of colorimetric and fluorescent chemosensors for nickel(II) ions. The analysis classifies sensors into categories-including rhodamine, fluorescein, Schiff base, naphthyridine, azo, polymer, imidazole, nanoparticle-based, quinoline, coumarin, and calixarene systems-to elucidate structure-property relationships. Complementing this, a bibliometric analysis of the research landscape reveals a notably lower publication output for nickel sensors compared to those for other metal ions, identifies 'chemosensor' as the most frequent keyword, and highlights India's leading role in co-authorship networks. This review provides valuable insights to guide future research, emphasizing the need to overcome key challenges such as reliance on organic solvents and to advance the development of practical and field-deployable nickel-sensing technologies.

镍离子传感分子探针研究进展。

镍对水体的污染对人类健康和生态系统构成严重威胁，因此需要采用简单有效的传感器检测方法。这篇重要的综述涵盖了2006年至2024年之间的研究报告，并探讨了镍（II）离子的分子设计、结构基序和比色和荧光化学传感器性能之间的关系。该分析将传感器分类为罗丹明、荧光素、希夫碱、萘啶、偶氮、聚合物、咪唑、纳米颗粒、喹啉、香豆素和杯芳烃系统，以阐明结构-性能关系。与此相补充的是，对研究前景的文献计量学分析显示，与其他金属离子相比，镍传感器的发表量明显较低，将“化学传感器”确定为最常见的关键词，并强调了印度在合作作者网络中的主导作用。这一综述为指导未来的研究提供了有价值的见解，强调需要克服对有机溶剂的依赖等关键挑战，并推进实用和可现场部署的镍传感技术的发展。
