Sensitive
and selective determination of various analyzes using photoactive
nanomaterials will be covered in this special issue. In recent years,
several types of photoactive nanomaterials have been developed and
applied to ultrasensitive determination of trace amount of
analytes. In general, these nanomaterials are used as a signaling
reagent or a sample carrier. Compared to traditional signaling
reagents, the photoactive nanomaterials provide excellent signaling
characteristics and high photostability for a wide variety of analyses.
In this special issue different photoactive nanomaterials and their
applications in ultrasensitive determination will be described. These
include: quantum dots, PEBBLEs, polymer fluorescent nanoparticles,
silica fluorescent nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles and silver
nanoparticles etc.
