We designed and prepared probe W-1 for the detection of H 2 O 2 . W-1 showed excellent selectivity for H 2 O 2 and was accompanied by colorimetric signal changes. The excellent linear relationship between fluorescence intensity and H 2 O 2 concentration (0-100 μM) provided favorable conditions for its quantitative detection. In addition, the combination of portable test strips with a smartphone platform provided great convenience for on-site visual detection of H 2 O 2 . Moreover, W-1 possessed targeting mitochondria property and could be applied to image the exogenous and endogenous H 2 O 2 in cells to distinguish normal cells and cancer cells. Lastly, W-1 was used for monitoring the H 2 O 2 fluctuation of the diabetic process in mice, and the results showed an increase in H 2 O 2 levels in diabetes. Therefore, the probe provided a tool for understanding the pathological and physiological mechanisms of diabetes by imaging H 2 O 2 .
