| Sumario: | During the storage of agricultural products, the oxygen concentration in the packages represents the level of food respiration and hence indicates its freshness. Herein, self-referenced photoluminescent oxygen sensitive fibrous membranes were prepared, with the inclusion of an oxygen-sensitive probe, i.e. tris (4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline) ruthenium (II) dichloride (RuDPP), with an oxygen-insensitive luminophore, i.e. silane-functionalized carbon dots (SiCDs). Silicone was selected as the matrix, obtained via sol-gel process, and was electrospun to get nanofibers containing mesoporous microstructure and with high oxygen permeability. The as-prepared RuDPP@SiCDs/SiO2 fibrous membranes possessed hydrophobicity and exhibited ideal oxygen sensitivity, which realized a remote evaluation of the freshness of packaged fruits, through ratiometric photoluminescence imaging on the concentration change of environmental oxygen. The results indicate that such kind of oxygen-sensitive fiber membranes are capable as an optical oxygen sensor for agricultural applications. |
