“…The multianalyte detection concept, which was first proposed by De Silva's group (Magri et al, 2006;Schmittel and Shu, 2012;Chen et al, 2015;Magri, 2021), has become a hotspot in the field of sensors owing to its advantages of high efficiency, rapidity, simultaneous recognition and in-situ detection (Xu et al, 2017;Park et al, 2018;Zhang et al, 2018;Chen et al, 2019a;Slenders et al, 2021;Huang et al, 2021b;Nakamitsu et al, 2021). Multianalyte sensors were originally designed for multiple metal ions (Magri et al, 2006), but these systems have subsequently been developed for multiple bioactive molecules (Yin et al, 2018;Zhang et al, 2020b;Thanzeel et al, 2020), bacteria (Zheng et al, 2018), etc. In some cases, multifunctional sensors based on fluorescent gels (Zhang et al, 2018;Ozay et al, 2020) or polymers (Ozay et al, 2020;Liu et al, 2020;Huang et al, 2021a) can simultaneously remove analytes, thus reducing the cost of pollutant treatment in practical applications.…”
