Abstract

See full text

A method of detecting an analyte in an environment, includes immobilizing at least one photoactive composition on nanostructures, the photoactive composition exhibiting emission that is sensitive to the analyte; applying electromagnetic radiation to the immobilized photoactive moiety for a period of time; measuring at least one response; and using the measured response to determine the presence the analyte in the environment. The nanostructures can, for example, include carbon nanostructures. In a number of embodiments, the analyte is oxygen.
