The content of the professional article presents the optical chemical sensors (OCS), which have advantages that enable their widespread use in the field of environmental monitoring. In contrast to conventional instrumental analysis the OCS enable continuous monitoring of several parameters on-site and on remote locations (using optical fibres).

COBISS.SI-ID: 14927894Based on the national award given to the project leader (best researcher) in 2010 (according to industrial companies), several interviews followed in 2011. It was the opportunity to present the Slovenian public our research work and actions on the field of optical chemical sensors.

The lecture covered the filed of quantum dots used in sensor applications. Luminescent sensors are chemical systems that can deliver information on the presence of selected analytes through the variations in their luminescence emission. With the advent of luminescent nanoparticles several new applications in the field of chemical sensing were explored. Among them, quantum dots (QD) represent inorganic semiconductor nanocrystals that are advantageous over conventional organic dyes from many different points of view. In this short review, the optical detection of various analytes using QD-based probes/sensors is presented and significant sensor’s characteristics are discussed.
