Disclosed are a colloidal coating dispersion containing electrochromic polymer particles, a method for manufacturing the colloidal coating dispersion, the use of the colloidal coating dispersion for depositing at least one electrochromic layer on a substrate, and an article including a layer deposited from the colloidal coating dispersion.

Disclosed is an aqueous fluorescent ink and a preparation method and use thereof. The aqueous fluorescent ink provided by the present disclosure includes 0.10%-0.14% of polystyrene micro-spheres, 0.010%-0.014% of fluorescent dyes, 0.4%-0.6% of surfactants, and the balance of water. The present disclosure uses polystyrene micro-spheres as a fluorescent dye carrier, which is colorless and transparent under ordinary daylight and completely invisible, and displays fluorescence only when irradiated by ultraviolet light and has high fluorescence intensity. The surfactant makes the polystyrene fluorescent micro-spheres uniformly dispersed in the fluorescent ink, and the stability of the fluorescent ink is improved. Water is used as a solvent, which has excellent safety and environmental friendliness. The accuracy of the printed patterns can reach 30 m, which can help realize large-format ultra-high-precision patterned anti-counterfeiting encryption printing. Through precision printing, the two-dimensional code can be implemented with one code for one object, and has excellent anti-counterfeiting ability.

In one aspect, methods of sensing are described herein. In some embodiments, a method of sensing includes disposing a fluorophore in a biological environment, wherein the fluorophore includes a dioxo-pyridine ring (DPR) or a thiazolopyridine acid (TPA). The method further includes exposing the biological environment to electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength corresponding to an excitation wavelength of the fluorophore, detecting light emitted by the fluorophore, and correlating the light emitted by the fluorophore to a presence or absence of an analyte within the biological environment in an amount above a minimum detection threshold. The presence of the analyte can increase or decrease the amount of light emitted by the fluorophore. The presence of the analyte may also shift the peak emission wavelength or alter the fluorescence lifetime of the fluorophore. The analyte, in some embodiments, includes hydrogen ions, halide ions, and/or halogens.
