Abstract

Mesoporous silica nanoparticles functionalised with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) luminogen via a carbon-nitrogen double bond are fabricated into films by a dip-coating method. The as-made films can serve as efficient fluorescent sensors for the naked-eye detection of volatile acid gases by colour and emission changes, as well as for the detection of 2,4-dinitrotoluene vapours by fluorescence quenching.
