To counter the devastating effects of worldwide terrorism, the detection of explosives and explosive-related materials is one of the currently pressing concerns globally. In recent years, significant efforts have been made in the development of fluorescence-based chemical sensors for the recognition of explosives in the solid, solution, and vapor phases with enhanced sensitivity and selectivity accompanied by quick response time. A wide range of fluorescent sensors such as small fluorophores, transition metal complexes, conjugated polymers, bio-inspired materials, small molecule-based sensors, aggregation-induced emission-active materials, organic fluorescent chemosensors, and macromolecular sensors along with their sensing performance and pathway is the centerpiece of this review. Among all these sensing materials, fluorescence-based macromolecular sensors are playing a vital role in the detection of these explosives because of their ironic photophysical properties. Herein, we focused on state-of-the-art fluorescent materials for the detection of various explosives materials. All the features involved in sensing processes were summarized systematically and exhaustively. Lastly, future outlook and conclusions are discussed and presented.

为了应对全球恐怖主义的毁灭性影响，爆炸物和与爆炸物有关的材料的侦查是全球当前迫切关注的问题之一。近年来，在基于荧光的化学传感器的开发方面做出了巨大的努力，以增强灵敏度和选择性以及快速响应时间来识别固相，溶液和气相中的爆炸物。各种荧光传感器，例如小型荧光团，过渡金属络合物，共轭聚合物，生物启发性材料，基于小分子的传感器，聚集诱导的发射活性材料，有机荧光化学传感器和大分子传感器，以及它们的传感性能和通路是本评论的重点。在所有这些传感材料中，基于荧光的大分子传感器由于具有讽刺性的光物理特性，因此在检测这些炸药中起着至关重要的作用。在本文中，我们重点介绍了用于检测各种爆炸物的最新荧光材料。系统，详尽地总结了感测过程中涉及的所有功能。最后，讨论和提出了未来的展望和结论。
