With nuclear power playing an increasing role in efforts to reduce carbon emissions, the development of effective and sensitive monitoring tools for (radio)toxic elements in the environment has become essential. This review highlights recent advances in fluorescent probes developed for the detection of key elements associated with the nuclear industry, including uranium, cesium, strontium, technetium, zirconium, and beryllium. Various sensor platforms, ranging from organic ligands and DNAzymes to metal-organic frameworks and quantum dots, offer promising features, such as high sensitivity, selectivity, and suitability for environmental matrices. Several recent designs now achieve detection limits in the nanomolar to picomolar range, revealing new perspectives for environmental and biological applications.
随着核能在减少碳排放的努力中发挥越来越重要的作用，开发用于监测环境中（放射性）有毒元素的有效且灵敏的工具变得至关重要。本综述重点介绍了用于检测与核工业相关的关键元素（包括铀、铯、锶、锝、锆和铍）的荧光探针的最新进展。从有机配体、脱氧核酶到金属有机框架和量子点等各种传感器平台都具有诸如高灵敏度、选择性以及适用于环境基质等有前景的特性。最近的一些设计现已实现纳摩尔至皮摩尔范围内的检测限，为环境和生物应用揭示了新的前景。
