Resettable Fluorescence Logic Gate Based on Calcein/Layered Double Hydroxide Ultrathin Films
A fluorescent logic gate was fabricated based on calcein/layered double hydroxide ultrathin films (UTFs) via alternate assembly technique, which exhibits high stability, reversibility, and resettability. The logic gate was manipulated by utilizing pH value, Hg2+ and Cl- ion as inputs, and the fluorescence emission of the (calcein/LDH)(16) UTF as output, serving as a three-input logic gate that combines the YES and INHIBIT operation.
