Summary: The rapid emergence of deep learning, such as deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs), has revolutionized colorimetric determination. However, the data-hungry nature of DCNNs limits its application. To overcome this, few-shot learning (FSL) is achieved by combining the generative adversarial network (GAN). By using GAN to generate 13,500 antagonistic samples as the training set, the accuracy is increased from 51.26% to 85.00%. The image quality generated by GAN is also superior to the commonly used convolution self-encoder method.

Summary: In this study, bovine serum albumin-stabilized silver nanoclusters (BSA-Ag-13 NC) were fabricated to catalyze the oxidation reaction of colorless 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to the blue oxidized state TMB (oxTMB), enabling the rapid detection of hexavalent chromium. A colorimetric sensing system for detecting Cr(VI) was developed based on the specific interaction between 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ) and Cr(VI) to restore the color reaction of TMB oxidation. The sensing system showed a wide linear range, good selectivity, and a low detection limit of 2.32 nM. Moreover, it successfully detected Cr(VI) in lake water, tap water, and sewage with satisfactory results.

Summary: This study developed a sensor platform based on gold nanobipyramids@silver nanorods for the quantitative, visual, and sensitive detection of Cr3+ ions in aqueous solutions. The method relies on the absorbance change of the nanorods induced by Cr3+ and can achieve a detection limit of 8.7 nM using a UV-vis spectrophotometer-based colorimetric detection method. The sensor shows high sensitivity, selectivity, and performance, making it useful for on-site quantitative detection of Cr3+ ions in water samples.
