Abstract
This disclosure relates to inorganic structured metal luminophores for the detection of peroxides and/or free radicals in proximity thereto. The disclosure includes the application of inorganic phosphates or mixtures thereof with one or more metal components that provides a structured metal luminophore capable of providing real-time detection and/or measurement of the presence of peroxides and/or free radicals in an environment proximal to the structured metal luminophore.
Claims17
A structured phosphate luminophore (SPL) or structured metal luminophore (SML) comprising a phosphate scaffold, wherein the phosphate scaffold comprises sodium hexa metaphosphate (SHMP).
