“…Thus, stability is the predominant challenge of PNCs in chem/bio sensing applications. Fortunately, in recent years, researchers have developed a series of strategies to overcome such drawbacks of PNCs and applied them in the sensing of a range of target molecules, including gases [ 24 , 25 ], metal ions [ 26 , 27 , 28 ], and biomolecules [ 29 , 30 , 31 ], etc. In this review, we provide readers with the current progress of PNCs in chem/bio sensing, mainly about their applications as sensing probes in various scenarios and the detailed techniques to improve their stability and bio-compatibility.…”
