Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Microfluidic chips offer an excellent sample platform for the detection and analysis of substances, showcasing their immense potential in various fields, such as biology, medicine, and environmental sciences. Their compact size, precision, and rapidity further enhance their applicability. Optics, as a time-honored and innovative science and engineering technology, has witnessed a century of development. The resulting technical equipment, such as laser-induced fluorescence, spectroscopy, imaging, micro-nano optics, and optical fiber sensing, have extensive applications across various fields. The integration of microfluidic chip platforms with optical sensing technology remains a prominent research area with immense potential.

This Special Issue focuses on the use of optical biosensing and detection in microfluidic chips while also welcoming contributions related to other sensing technologies and their combined applications with microfluidic chips.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

All-inorganic lead halide perovskite has emerged as an attractive semiconducting material due to its unique optoelectronic properties. However, its poor environmental stability restricts its broad application. Here, a simple method for the fabrication of CsPb2Br5/TiO2 is investigated. The introduction of p-aminobenzoic acid, which has two functional groups, is critical for the capping of amorphous TiO2 on CsPb2Br5. After calcination at 300 °C, amorphous TiO2 crystallizes into the anatase phase. The CsPb2Br5/TiO2 NCs show high long-term stability in water and enhanced stability against ultraviolet radiation and heat treatment, owing to the chemical stability of TiO2. More importantly, photo-electrochemical characterizations indicate that the formation of TiO2 shells can increase the charge separation efficiency. Hence, CsPb2Br5/TiO2 exhibits improved photoelectric activity owing to the electrical conductivity of the TiO2 in water. This study provides a new route for the fabrication of optoelectronic devices and photocatalysts based on perovskite NCs in the aqueous phase. Furthermore, the present results demonstrate that CsPb2Br5/TiO2 NCs has considerable potential to be used as a photoelectric material in optical sensing and monitoring. Full article
