PG - 1630-1639 LID - 10.1021/acs.analchem.3c04547 [doi] AB - Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) finds widespread utility in biochemical sensing, single-molecule experiments, cell physiology, and various other domains due to its inherent simplicity and high sensitivity. Nevertheless, the efficiency of energy transfer between the FRET donor and acceptor is significantly contingent on the local photonic environment, a factor that limits its application in complex systems or multianalyte detections. Here, a fluorescent selectivity-enhanced acridine orange (AO)-aflatoxins (AFs) FRET system based on a range of 3D topological photonic crystals (PCs) was developed with the aim of enhancing the selectivity and discrimination capabilities of FRET. By exploring the angle-dependent characteristics of the photonic stopband, the stopband distribution across different 3D topological PCs pixels was investigated. This approach led to selective fluorescence enhancement in PCs that matched the stopbands, enabling the successful discrimination of six distinct aflatoxins and facilitating complex multianalysis of moldy food samples. In particular, the stopband, which was strategically positioned within the blue-purple structural color range, exhibited a strong alignment with the fluorescence peaks of both the FRET donor and acceptor. This alignment allowed the 3D three-pointed star PCs to be effectively employed for the identification of mixed samples containing six distinct aflatoxins as well as the detection of real aflatoxin samples present in moldy potatoes, bread, oats, and peanuts. Impressively, this approach achieved a remarkable accuracy rate of 100%. This innovative strategy not only presents a novel avenue for developing a multitarget discrimination analysis system but also offers a convenient pretreatment method for the quantitative detection of various aflatoxins.
