A multilayer fluorogenic material for the ultrasensitive detection of TATP in air, suitable for implementation on a mechanized semi-autonomous robotic platform

Key Points

• The aim is to develop a multilayer fluorogenic material for detecting triacetone triperoxide (TATP) in the air.
• Developed a multilayer fluorogenic material using a fluorescent probe supported on silica, PDMS, and glass slides.
• Implemented this material on a mechanized device for semi-autonomous measurements of airborne TATP.
• Successfully detected TATP at high sensitivity using the multilayer fluorogenic material in operational spaces.
