Embodiments described herein provide devices and methods for the determination of analytes. The device typically includes an absorbent material that allows for an analyte sample to be concentrated and analyzed simultaneously and within a short period of time (e.g., less than 10 seconds). Embodiments described herein can provide portable and easily operable devices for on-site, real time field monitoring with high sensitivity, selectivity, and fast response time.

Devices and methods including a preconcentrator material for detection of analytes

Compositions, articles, systems, and methods for sensing and/or authentication using luminescence imaging are generally provided. In some embodiments, an article (or packaging material of an article) is associated with an emissive material comprising an emissive species (e.g., a luminescent species). In some cases, the emissive species has an emission lifetime of at least 10 nanoseconds (ns). In some cases, a characteristic of an article (e.g., identity, authenticity, age, quality, purity) may be determined by obtaining an image (or series of images) comprising time-dependent information related to an emissive species. In certain instances, for example, the emission lifetime of an emissive species may be determined from an image (or series of images). Since the emission lifetime of an emissive species may be modified by a number of factors, including but not limited to binding or proximity to other molecules (e.g., water, oxygen, carbon monoxide), temperature, pH, and radiation exposure, the measured length of the emission lifetime (e.g., the observed emission lifetime, the emission time period) may provide information regarding a characteristic of an associated article. In some instances, an emissive material comprising one or more emissive species may be used to identify and/or authenticate an associated article.

Luminescence imaging for sensing and/or authentication

A sensor device can include a transition metal complex capable of interacting with a carbon-carbon multiple bond moiety. The sensor can detect the fruit-ripening hormone ethylene with high sensitivity.

Ethylene sensor

Systems, articles, and methods directed to electrochemical systems (e.g., batteries) and the electrochemical reduction of halogenated compounds are generally described. In certain embodiments, the halogenated compound comprises a haloalkane associated with a conjugated system via at least one alkene linker or alkyne linker.

Electrochemical reduction of halogenated compounds comprising a haloalkane

Strong and flexible electrically conductive polymers comprising hydrogen-bondable moieties are described herein. The electrically conductive polymers are formed by polymerizing an electron donating aromatic monomer in the presence of an oxidant, solvent, and/or hydrogen-bondable additive, such as an additive comprising a hydroxyl group.

High yield storage materials

A wireless sensor platform design and a single walled carbon nanotube/ionic liquid-based chemidosimeter system can incorporated into a highly sensitive and selective chemical hazard badge that can dosimetrically detect an analyte down to a sub parts-per-million concentration.

System for detecting a stimulus including a radio frequency device responsive to an analyte and a portable reader

Embodiments described herein may be useful in the detection of analytes. The systems and methods may allow for a relatively simple and rapid way for detecting analytes such as chemical and/or biological analytes and may be useful in numerous applications including sensing, food manufacturing, medical diagnostics, performance materials, dynamic lenses, water monitoring, environmental monitoring, detection of proteins, detection of DNA, among other applications. For example, the systems and methods described herein may be used for determining the presence of a contaminant such as bacteria (e.g., detecting pathogenic bacteria in food and water samples which helps to prevent widespread infection, illness, and even death). Advantageously, the systems and methods described herein may not have the drawbacks in current detection technologies including, for example, relatively high costs, long enrichment steps and analysis times, and/or the need for extensive user training. Another advantageous feature provided by the systems and methods described herein includes fabrication in a relatively large scale. In some embodiments, the systems and methods may be used in conjunction with a detector including handheld detectors incorporated with, for example, smartphones (e.g., for the on-site detection of analytes such as pathogenic bacteria).

Systems and methods for affecting interactions of electromagnetic radiation with janus droplets for sensitive detection of species

Compositions and methods related to the synthesis and application of poly(aryl ether)s are generally described.

Poly(aryl ether) based polymers and associated methods

A sensor can include a redox-active complex. The sensor can be voltage sensitive.

Sensors including redox-active selector complexes

Compositions and methods related to conducting polymeric compositions that can be used in devices for storage of electrical energy are generally provided. The composition may include redox active polymers that include an electrophilic nitrogen containing heterocycle and an electron rich aromatic compound. The electroactive polymers may be formed by polymerizing an electrophilic nitrogen containing heterocycle-based unit with an electron rich aromatic compound in the presence of heat and an acid-based catalyst. The resulting electroactive polymers may be suitable as polymer films for use as electrodes in energy storage devices. The polymer films disposed as electrodes can improve the energy density of such devices.

Triazine-based polymer

Systems including Janus droplets with binding moieties for a virus, a pathogen or a bacterium

Near infrared and shortwave infrared dyes can have polymethine structures.

Near and shortwave infrared polymethine dyes

Embodiments described herein generally relate to: sensing and/or authentication using luminescence imaging; diagnostic assays, systems, and related methods; temporal thermal sensing and related methods; and/or to emissive species, such as those excitable by white light, and related systems and methods.

Temporal sensing and related methods

A sensor can include one or more of a semiconducting material, an oxidation catalyst, and an oxidation enhancer, the sensor being configured to detect an analyte, such as methane, a thiol, or both.
