description This study utilized tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) as a substitute for traditional catalysts and successfully incorporated platinum octaethylporphyrin (PtOEP) into SiO<sub>2</sub> nanoparticles (PtOEP@SiO<sub>2</sub>) via the Stöber method. Methyl silicone resin was employed as the matrix material, and a drop-coating technique was applied to fabricate thin films of PtOEP@SiO<sub>2</sub> particles for dissolved oxygen (DO) sensing in seawater. By optimizing the concentrations of TMAH and PtOEP, a highly sensitive oxygen-sensing film with a quenching ratio (I<sub>0</sub>/I<sub>100</sub>) of 28 was ultimately developed, with a wide linear detection range (0~20 mg/L, R<sup>2</sup> = 0.994). Stability tests revealed no significant performance degradation during five oxygen–nitrogen cycle tests. After 30 days of immersion in East China Sea seawater, the quenching ratio decreased by only 6%, confirming its long-term stability and excellent resistance to ion interference. This research provides a novel strategy for developing highly reliable in situ marine DO sensors.
