Developing smart materials capable of sensing different pH levels is crucial for a wide range practical applications. Sensors utilizing the Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) modulation mechanism allow sensitive, robust, and environment-independent detection analytes. Traditional ratiometric FRET platforms encompass combination small-molecule/macromolecular dyes or heterogeneous nanomaterials. In situ production pair in single scaffold would greatly simplify fabrication solid-state platforms, providing an efficient, photostable device. We introduce distinct approach to one-step synthesis porous organic polymer (POP)-based system monitoring solution vapors. Using hydrothermal condensation polymerization, soluble precursor monomers are heavily cross-linked produce POPs. Concurrently, complete carbonization leads formation carbon dots (CDs) that homogeneously distributed POP matrix through imine linkages. This unique bicontinuous POP–CD composite (POP-Dot) features from CD POP, which pH-sensitive due bond protonation. Besides instantaneous change color signal response modulation, POP-Dot exhibits excellent reversibility both aqueous dispersion solid state. Notably, POP-Dots demonstrated high sensitivity dynamic natural antagonistic enzyme pair. Altogether, straightforward precluding blend fluorophores enables reproducibility, photostability, reversibility, potentially suitable devices.
