Neonicotinoids such as thiamethoxam (TMX) were widely used in agricultural production and tended to accumulate in the environment, potentially harming human and ecosystem health. To enable widespread monitoring of TMX residues, it was essential to design a reliable and sensitive detection method. Here, we developed a novel smartphone-enablled molecularly imprinted ratiometric fluorescence sensing system for selective on-site detection of TMX. It was based on blue-emission carbon dots (CDs) wrapped with a molecularly imprinted layer (B-CDs@MIPs), which provided the response signal, while red-emission CDs (R-CDs) served as an internal reference. The fluorescence signal ratio of the sensor increased with the TMX concentration, resulting in an obvious fluorescence color change from red to blue. The sensor exhibited a satisfactory limit of detection (LOD) of 13.5 nM in fluorescence analysis while LOD of 70.1 nM in visual determination. In addition, the sensing system was validated using food and environment samples, exhibiting recoveries from 91.40% to 105.7%, indicating excellent reliability for TMX detection in actual samples. Thus, the sensing system developed in this study offered promising prospects for visual detection of pesticide residues in complex environmental samples.
