A mesoporous silica-based probe with a molecularly imprinted polymer recognition and Mn:ZnS QDs@rhodamine B ratiometric fluorescence sensing strategy for the analysis of 4-nitrophenol

The ratiometric fluorescent responses of the MIP-coated Mn:ZnS QDs and RB co-doped MSN probe to 4-NP molecules led to the sensitive and selective detection of 4-NP in environmental water samples.
