In this research, a Ni-Cu-Zn-incorporated Prussian Blue analogue (NiCuZn-PBA) nanozyme was prepared by the controlled co-precipitation method and explored as peroxidase mimicking catalyst for colorimetric glucose detection. The structure and chemical composition of the synthesized material were studied by the techniques of TEM, XRD, FTIR, Raman, UV-Vis spectroscopy, XPS and elemental mapping which showed the formation of a cyanide-bridged PBA-type structure with Ni, Cu and Zn species in the material. The nanozyme showed peroxidase-like activity as it catalized the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide to generate a characteristic oxidized TMB signal at 652 nm. A cascade colorimetric sensing platform for glucose determination was invented by combining glucose oxidase (GOx) with the PBA nanozyme. The developed sensor showed a linear response to the range of glucose concentrations from 10 to 120 µM under optimized conditions with a LoD value of 1.31 C. The sensor displayed excellent selectivity towards common interfering substances as well as satisfactory recovery values (99.03-100.80%) for synthetic urine samples.

The development of rapid, sensitive, and environmentally friendly analytical methods for its determination remains an important challenge. The novelty of this work lies in the use of a hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HTAB)-stabilized silver nanoparticle (AgNP) fluorescence system as a simple analytical platform for the determination of 2,4,5-T in environmental water samples, combining minimal sample treatment with satisfactory analytical performance. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, and fluorescence spectroscopy. Experimental variables affecting the analytical response were systematically optimized, and the method was evaluated in environmental and tap water samples. Under the optimized experimental conditions, the addition of 2,4,5-T to the AgNPs-HTAB system produced a reproducible increase in fluorescence intensity at 365 nm using an excitation wavelength of 300 nm. The complete calibration dataset showed excellent linearity, with the regression equation S = 0.5000 C + 9.9906 (R² = 1.0000), where S is the fluorescence signal (a.u.) and C is the 2,4,5-T concentration (µg L⁻¹).

The principle of operation of FLCDs under an applied electric field relies on the electro-optical (E-O) switching of LC molecules, which concurrently allows directing scaffold-based fluorescent dyes and regulating fluorescence intensity, polarization and color. Common FLCD architectures are based on nematic LC (NLC) hosts like E7 or 5CB(4-pentyl-4'-cyanobiphenyl), fluorescent dyes like perylene, coumarin, rhodamine and anthracene analogs, transparent indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes and polyimide (PI) alignment layers.

However, fluorescent probes capable of dual-responsive sensing toward both polarity and Cys remain rarely reported. Herein, Mn-engineered tryptophan-derived carbon dots (Mn-TrpCDs) were successfully synthesized using MnCl<sub>2</sub> and D-tryptophan as precursors. Structural characterization demonstrated that Mn atoms were atomically dispersed and stabilized within the carbon framework through N/O coordination, resulting in carbon dots with uniform particle size, moderate graphitization, and abundant surface functional groups. Under excitation at 373 nm, Mn-TrpCDs exhibited strong blue fluorescence centered at 452 nm and displayed distinct dual fluorescence responses toward both environmental polarity and Cys. The fluorescence intensity increased progressively with increasing solvent polarity and showed an excellent linear response toward Cys over the concentration range of 0-80 µM, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.31 µM. In addition, the probe reached a stable fluorescence response within 10 min and exhibited excellent salt tolerance, broad pH adaptability, outstanding photostability, and high selectivity toward Cys over various potential interferents. Furthermore, owing to its low cytotoxicity and favorable biocompatibility, Mn-TrpCDs enabled fluorescence imaging of intracellular Cys in HK-2 cells. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of Mn-engineered carbon dots as a dual-responsive fluorescent probe for the simultaneous sensing of environmental polarity and Cys. This work provides a simple strategy for constructing multifunctional Mn-Engineered carbon-dot fluorescent probes and expands their potential applications in fluorescence sensing and bioimaging.</p>","PeriodicalId":15800,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fluorescence","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149069085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
