Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Photoelectric technology has recently experienced great developments and it been gradually applied in many fields. As the key component of detection systems, photoelectric detection has also progressed along with the corresponding research. Various optoelectronic sensors have been employed to detect molecules in recent years. This Special Issue aims to report on all types of optoelectronic-based sensors designed for molecular detection. Reports on new functional/complex/assemblied/biomimetic nanostructures (morphology, superstructure, heterostructure, phase junction, energy band structure), new interfacial physicochemical processes, and new flexible wearable optoelectronic sensors for precise sensing are preferred.

Dopamine (DA) is an important catecholamine neurotransmitter that plays a highly relevant role in regulating the central nervous system, and abnormal DA content can cause many immune-related diseases. Hence, it is of significance to sensitively and specifically identify DA for clinical medicine. In this work, Pt/NH2-MIL-101 hybrid nanozymes with bimetallic catalytic centers were fabricated by forming coordinate bonds between Pt nanoparticles (Pt NPs) and –NH2 on metal–organic frameworks (MOF). The catalytic activity of Pt/NH2-MIL-101 was increased by 1.5 times via enlarging the exposure of more active sites and improving the activity of the active sites through the strategy of forming bimetallic catalytic centers. In the presence of DA, competing with 3, 3′, 5, 5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) for the generated hydroxyl radicals (•OH), the blue oxidation state TMB (Ox-TMB) is reduced to colorless TMB, showing dramatic color changes. The Pt/NH2-MIL-101-based colorimetric assay enables the sensitive and robust detection of DA molecules with a detection limit of only 0.42 μM and has an observable potential in clinical applications.

Biological applications of fluorescent probes are rapidly increasing in the supramolecular chemistry research field. Several organic dyes are being utilized currently in developing and advancing this attractive research area, of which diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) organic dyes show an exceptional photophysical features (high-fluorescence quantum yield (FQY), good photochemical and thermal stability) that are essential properties for biological applications. Great efforts have been made in recent years towards developing novel fluorescent DPPs by different chemists for such applications, and some positive results have been reported. As a result, this review article gives an account of the progress that has so far been made very recently, mainly within the last decade, in that we selectively focus on and discuss more from 2015 to present on some recent scholarly achievements of fluorescent DPPs: quantum yield, aggregation-induced emission (AIE), solid-state emission, bio-imaging, cancer/tumor therapy, mitochondria staining and some polymeric fluorescent DPPs. Finally, this review article highlights researchers working on luminescent DPPs and the future prospects in some key areas towards designing DPP-based fluorescent probes in order to boost their photophysical and biological applications more effectively.
