[Research Progress on the Application of Novel Functional Materials for Rapid Detection of New Psychoactive...

New psychoactive substances (NPS) have the characteristics of rapid turnover, wide varieties, and high abuse potential. It has become a major threat to global public safety. Currently, the forensic identification of NPS faces certain challenges in detection methods for effectiveness, sensitivity, accuracy and resistance to matrix interference. Novel functional materials (NFM), with their high specific surface area, designability, specific recognition capability and signal amplification effects, provide a new path for advancing rapid detection techniques for NPS. This paper systematically reviews the innovative applications of NFM in the rapid detection of NPS over the past decade. By summarizing and analyzing the research and applications of NFM in laboratory detection and on-site rapid screening, it outlines the characteristics and advantages of different types of materials. Combined with the development trends of NFM in intelligent material design, interdisciplinary integration and portable integrated devices, it provides theoretical references for the development of rapid detection methods for NPS, which is conducive to improving the rapid detection ability of NPS in "anti-drug combat".
