The highly sensitive optical detection of oxygen including dissolved oxygen (DO) is of great interest in various applications. We devised a novel room‐temperature‐phosphorescence (RTP)‐based oxygen detection platform by constructing core–shell nanoparticles with water‐soluble polymethyloxazoline shells and oxygen‐permeable polystyrene cores crosslinked with metal‐free purely organic phosphors. The resulting nanoparticles show a very high sensitivity for DO with a limit of detection (LOD) of 60 n m and can be readily used for oxygen quantification in aqueous environments as well as the gaseous phase.
