Halides play important roles in human health and environmental monitoring. However, different halides interfere with each other in current measurement methods. Simultaneous sensing of multiple halides in a fast and low-cost manner remains a challenge. Here, we report a fluorometric multi-halide sensing method by using a single citrate-based fluorophore, CA-Cys, on a custom-made portable device. The fluorescence emitted by CA-Cys is quenched due to the dynamic quenching of halide ions; the sensitivities vary from halide types and pH, providing the capability to obtain multiple Stern-Volmer equations at various pH values. The concentration of each halide can then be obtained by solving the resultant set of equations. A mM scale detection limit is demonstrated, which is suitable for halide wastewater monitoring. A proof-of-concept smartphone-based portable device is also fabricated and tested. The results from the fluorometer and portable device indicated that our multi-halide system is promising for real-world multi-halide sensing applications. This work represents a new direction in developing portable, low-cost, and simultaneous multi-halide sensing technologies.
