Abstract
Addressing the limitations of traditional detection methods that rely heavily on expensive instruments and trained professionals, this research designs and develops a series of novel photochemical sensors based on optical chemistry principles. These sensors can accurately identify and detect a wide range of targets including threat agents (e.g., trace explosives, anthrax), healthcare-related biochemicals (e.g., cysteine), gas molecules, and various ions. With advantages of low cost, simple operation, strong portability, and rapid accurate response, the sensors have been successfully integrated into paper-based formats, enabling efficient on-line detection of gases, ions, biomolecules, and trace explosives.
Speaker Bio
Li Bin is a Grade-II Research Professor and doctoral supervisor at the State Key Laboratory of Luminescent Science and Technology, Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics, CAS. He received his PhD from the Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry in 1997 under Academician Ni Jiazan and Academician Zhang Hongjie, and completed postdoctoral research at the University of Hong Kong under Academician Vivian Yam. He was selected for the CAS “Hundred Talents Program” in 2003 and has published over 150 SCI papers in journals including JACS, Angew. Chem., and Adv. Mater. He received the Jilin Provincial Science and Technology Progress Award (First Prize, as first contributor).
