“…[22,23] SWCNTs are graphene-based nanostructures, where different rolling orientations of graphene sheets give rise to a wide range of nanotube chiralities, [24,25] each of which has unique physical, chemical, and optical properties. [26][27][28][29] Semiconducting SWCNTs fluoresce in the near-infrared (NIR) range, which overlaps with the transparency window of biological samples, thus can be utilized for biotechnological and biomedical imaging and sensing applications, [23,[30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] including sensing of small molecules, [38][39][40][41][42][43][44] reactive oxygen species, [45][46][47] microRNA, [48] lipids, [49] proteins, [50][51][52][53][54] enzymes, [55][56][57][58] volatiles, [59,60] and pathogens. [61,62] While previously, DNA functionalized fluorescent SWCNTs were utilized to detect arsenite within plants, [63] most SWCNT applications as metal sensors are based on oxidized (non-fluorescent) SWCNTs and do not exploit their optical properties.…”
