AI Technical Summary
Existing moisture detection methods are cumbersome to operate, costly, and dependent on specialized instruments, making it difficult to achieve real-time, in-situ rapid detection. Furthermore, the results of fluorescent probe detection are easily affected by subjective factors, failing to meet the needs of rapid on-site detection.
A polar-responsive fluorescent probe for visual detection of water content was designed, combining fluorescence-colorimetric dual-response detection. By regulating the conjugated chain length and donor-acceptor groups of the cyanin probe, rapid detection without instruments can be achieved. Quantitative analysis can be performed by color recognition using a smartphone APP.
It enables rapid, convenient, and accurate moisture detection without the need for large instruments, reducing the operational threshold and testing costs. It is suitable for field applications and features high sensitivity and high accuracy.
