Abstract
Electrochemical sensors have emerged as important diagnostic tools in recent years, due to their simplicity and ease of use. Compared to instrumental analysis methods that use complicated experimental and data analysis techniques─such as mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), spectrophotometric methods, and chromatography─electrochemical sensors show promise for use in a wide range of real-time and in situ applications such as pharmaceutical testing, environmental monitoring, and medical diagnostics. In order to identify analytes in complex and/or biological samples, materials used for both the electrode materials and the chemically selective layer have been evolving throughout the years for optimizing the analytical performance of electrochemical sensors to increase sensitivity, selectivity and linear range. In this Perspective, attention will be focused on different types of materials that have been used for electrochemical sensing, including new combinations of well-studied materials as well as novel strategies to enhance the performance of sensing devices. The Perspective will also discuss existing challenges in the field and future strategies for addressing those challenges.

Abstract
Layered 2D materials, such as graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides, transition metal oxides, black phosphorus, graphitic carbon nitride, hexagonal boron nitride, and MXenes, have attracted intensive attention over the past decades owing to their unique properties and wide applications in electronics, catalysis, energy storage, biomedicine, etc. Further reducing the lateral size of layered 2D materials down to less than 10 nm allows for preparing a new class of nanostructures, namely, nanodots derived from layered materials. Nanodots derived from layered materials not only can exhibit the intriguing properties of nanodots due to the size confinement originating from the ultrasmall size, but also can inherit some unique properties of ultrathin layered 2D materials, making them promising candidates in a wide range of applications, especially in biomedicine and catalysis. Here, a comprehensive summary on the materials categories, advantages, synthesis methods, and potential applications of these nanodots derived from layered materials is provided. Finally, personal insights about the challenges and future directions in this promising research field are also given.

Abstract
In this study, a novel electrochemical sensor for simultaneous detection of Pb(II) and Cu(II) was constructed by using Zn/Ni-ZIF-8/XC-72/Nafion hybrid material as electrode surface modifier. XRD, FT-IR, XPS and SEM were used to study the crystal structure, functional groups, element types and morphologies of the prepared materials. The electrochemical performance of the Zn/Ni-ZIF-8/XC-72/Nafion/GCE sensor were investigated by CV, EIS and DPV. In addition, the effects of various conditions including pH, the type of buffer and the ratio of Zn/Ni-ZIF-8 to XC-72 were also explored for the determination of Pb(II) and Cu(II). Under the optimum conditions, the constructed sensor exhibited outstanding linear response of Pb(II) (0.794-39.6 ppm) and Cu(II) (0.397-19.9 ppm) with detection limits of 0.0150 and 0.0096 ppm, respectively. Finally, the fabricated sensor was further used to detect Pb(II) and Cu(II) in real samples, and the satisfactory recovery was obtained.

Abstract
Atomistically detailed molecular dynamics simulations were employed to study the adsorption capacity of graphene-oxide-based (GO) aqueous systems for the methylene blue (MB) dye in the presence of branched poly(ethylene imine) (BPEI) polymers. The polymeric component was either freely mixed or chemically attached to GO. The main focus was the elucidation of the effects originating from the presence of BPEI molecules in the association of MB with the formed GO complexes. The effect of temperature was also examined. It was found that the presence of the cationic BPEI molecules results in the formation of a distinct microenvironment characterized by a polymer-mediated interconnected morphology which promotes the development of larger-sized MB clusters. These clusters were found to form in the vicinity of the GO flakes, increasing thus the adsorption capacity of the dye molecules in the polymer-containing systems. Particularly in the system with the BPEI-functionalized GO flakes, a persistent percolated structure is formed, which results in a more restricted diffusion of the MB molecules, increasing thus significantly their residence time close to the GO surface. The clustering behavior of MB was found to be temperature-dependent in the BPEI-based models, providing useful information regarding the conditions for optimal adsorption performance of such membranes, in nanofiltration processes.

Abstract
An efficient electrochemical biosensor has been developed for the simultaneous evaluation of DNA bases using AgNPs-embedded covalent organic framework (COF). The COF (p-Phenylenediamine and terephthalaldehyde) was synthesized by reflux (DMF; 150 °C; 12 h) and the nanoparticles were embedded from the aqueous solutions of AgNO3 and NaBH4. The nanocomposite-modified COF was confirmed by spectral, microscopic, and electrochemical techniques. The nanocomposite material was deposited on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and the redox behavior of AgNPs was confirmed by cyclic voltammetry. The electrocatalytic activities of DNA bases were analyzed by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) in a physiological environment (PBS; pH = 7.0) based on simple and easy-to-use electrocatalyst. The AgNPs-COF/GCE showed well-defined anodic peak currents for the bases guanine (+ 0.63 V vs. Ag/AgCl), adenine (+ 0.89 V vs. Ag/AgCl), thymine (+ 1.10 V vs. Ag/AgCl), and cytosine (+ 1.26 V vs. Ag/AgCl) in a mixture as well as individuals with respect to the conventional, COF, and AgNPs/GCEs. The AgNPs-COF/GCE showed linear concentration range of DNA bases from 0.2-1000 µM (guanine; (G)), 0.1-500 µM (adenine (A)), 0.25-250 µM (thymine (T)) and 0.15-500 µM (cytosine (C)) and LOD of 0.043, 0.056, 0.062, and 0.051 µM (S/N = 3), respectively. The developed sensor showed reasonable selectivity, reproducibility (RSD = 1.53 ± 0.04%-2.58 ± 0.02% (n = 3)), and stability (RSD = 1.22 ± 0.06%-2.15 ± 0.04%; n = 3) over 5 days of storage) for DNA bases. Finally, AgNPs-COF/GCE was used for the determination of DNA bases in human blood serum, urine and saliva samples with good recoveries (98.60-99.11%, 97.80-99.21%, and 98.69-99.74%, respectively).

Their remarkable characteristics allied to their capability of being easily synthesized and combined with other materials have allowed their use as electrochemical sensing platforms. In this work, we survey recent applications of GQDs-based nanocomposites in electrochemical sensors and biosensors. Firstly, the main characteristics and synthesis methods of GQDs are addressed. Next, the strategies generally used to obtain the GQDs nanocomposites are discussed. Emphasis is given on the applications of GQDs combined with distinct 0D, 1D, 2D nanomaterials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), ionic liquids, as well as other types of materials, in varied electrochemical sensors and biosensors for detecting analytes of environmental, medical, and agricultural interest. We also discuss the current trends and challenges towards real applications of GQDs in electrochemical sensors.

Abstract
Glycerol is a major byproduct obtained in the production of biodiesel, an important renewable fuel. The presence of free glycerol in fuel can have structural and performance consequences with respect to the engine, making fuel quality control important. The standard method to analyze glycerol in biodiesel is gas chromatography, a time-consuming and expensive technique. In this context, an electrode based on glassy carbon electrodes (GCEs) modified with reduced graphene oxide and core-shell gold@palladium nanoparticles was developed for the determination of glycerol in biodiesel. The free glycerol analysis was performed in the aqueous phase obtained by liquid–liquid extraction from a biodiesel sample. Cyclic voltammetry was chosen as the method for glycerol electrochemical analysis to regenerate active sites and promote greater sensor stability. The modified Au@Pd/rGO/GCE electrode showed an excellent performance, obtaining a linear range of 18.2 to 109 µmol L−1 with a correlation coefficient of 0.9895, limits of detection and quantification of 5.33 and 17.6 µmol L−1, respectively, high stability during 1000 cycles, and recovery values of 86% and 87% in the quantification of glycerol in biodiesel samples. The proposed method proved to be a great alternative for the analysis of glycerol in biodiesel, being a fast, sensitive, and low-cost technique due to its high stability and the use of small quantities of reagents.

Abstract
Nitrofurantoin (NFT) is mainly used in humans for the treatment of urinary tract infections. NFT is used as feed additives in animals, due to its broad antimicrobial activity. However, it shows more side effects on human health and the environment. Therefore low-cost, portable, and rapid sensors are necessary for the detection of NFT in real samples. Herein, we successfully developed an electrochemical sensor using a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with gadolinium orthoferrite (GdFeO3) decorated on reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanocomposite for the detection of NFT. The facile hydrothermal method was used to synthesis a novel GdFeO3/RGO nanocomposite, the morphological and structural characterization was confirmed by the FESEM, HRTEM, EDX, XRD, Raman, and XPS techniques. The formation mechanism of GdFeO3/RGO nanocomposite had been discussed. The effective intercalation of the nanostructured GdFeO3 to the RGO sheets leads to the significant enhancement in physicochemical properties such as electrical conductivity, electro-active surface area, structural stability, and electrochemical activity, which was observed from the EIS and CV experimental results. The electrochemical studies established that the developed GdFeO3/RGO sensor was highly sensitive and selective to NFT. Moreover, the GdFeO3/RGO sensor exhibits good sensitivity of 4.1985 μA μM-1 cm-2, a low detection limit (LOD) of 0.0153 µM and a linear range from 0.001 to 249 µM for NFT detection under optimized experimental conditions. In addition, the investigation of storage time on the CV response of the GdFeO3/RGO sensor indicates superior stability. Owing to these extraordinary analytical advantages, the as-fabricated sensor was applied to detect the NFT levels in human urine and river water samples with satisfactory results.

Abstract
Research activity on ceramic/graphene composites and hybrids has increased dramatically in the last decade. In this review, we provide an overview of recent contributions involving ceramics, graphene, and graphene-related materials (GRM, i.e., graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, and graphene nanoplatelets) with a primary focus on applications. We have adopted a broad scope of the term ceramics, therefore including some applications of GRM with certain metal oxides and cement-based matrices in the review. Applications of ceramic/graphene hybrids and composites cover many different areas, in particular, energy production and storage (batteries, supercapacitors, solar and fuel cells), energy harvesting, sensors and biosensors, electromagnetic interference shielding, biomaterials, thermal management (heat dissipation and heat conduction functions), engineering components, catalysts, etc. A section on ceramic/GRM composites processed by additive manufacturing methods is included due to their industrial potential and waste reduction capability. All these applications of ceramic/graphene composites and hybrids are listed and mentioned in the present review, ending with the authors' outlook of those that seem most promising, based on the research efforts carried out in this field.

Abstract
Carbon-based nanomaterials (CNMs) have attracted considerable attention in the scientific community both from a scientific and an industrial point of view. Fullerenes, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene and carbon dots (CDs) are the most popular forms and continue to be widely studied. However, the general poor solubility of many of these materials in most common solvents and their strong tendency to aggregate remains a major obstacle in practical applications. To solve these problems, organic chemistry offers formidable help, through the exploitation of tailored approaches, especially when aiming at the integration of nanostructures in biological systems. According to our experience with carbon-based nanostructures, the introduction of amino groups is one of the best trade-offs for the preparation of functionalized nanomaterials. Indeed, amino groups are well-known for enhancing the dispersion, solubilization, and processability of materials, in particular of CNMs. Amino groups are characterized by basicity, nucleophilicity, and formation of hydrogen or halogen bonding. All these features unlock new strategies for the interaction between nanomaterials and other molecules. This integration can occur either through covalent bonds (e.g., via amide coupling) or in a supramolecular fashion. In the present Feature Article, the attention will be focused through selected examples of our approach to the synthetic pathways necessary for the introduction of amino groups in CNMs and the subsequent preparation of highly engineered ad hoc nanostructures for practical applications.

Investigation of a new graphene strain sensor based on surface plasmon resonance. Sci Rep 2020; 10:16870.

Abstract
The high confinement of surface plasmon polaritons in graphene nanostructures at infrared frequencies can enhance the light-matter interactions, which open up intriguing possibilities for the sensing. Strain sensors have attracted much attention due to their unique electromechanical properties. In this paper, a surface plasmon resonance based graphene strain sensor is presented. The considered sensing platform consists of arrays of graphene ribbons placed on a flexible substrate which enables efficient coupling of an electromagnetic field into localized surface plasmons. When the strain stretching is applied to the configuration, the localized surface plasmon resonance frequency sensitively shift. The strain is then detected by measuring the frequency shifts of the localized plasmon resonances. This provides a new optical method for graphene strain sensing. Our results show that the tensile direction is the key parameter for strain sensing. Besides, the sensitivity and the figure of merit were calculated to evaluate the performance of the proposed sensor. The calculated figure of merit can be up to two orders of magnitude, which could be potentially useful from a practical point of view.

Abstract
Graphene has demonstrated great promise for technological use, yet control over material growth and understanding of how material imperfections affect the performance of devices are challenges that hamper the development of applications. In this work, we reveal new insight into the connections between the performance of the graphene devices as environmental sensors and the microscopic details of the interactions at the sensing surface. We monitor changes in the resistance of the chemical-vapor deposition grown graphene devices as exposed to different concentrations of ethanol. We perform thermal surface treatments after the devices are fabricated, use scanning probe microscopy to visualize their effects down to nanometer scale and correlate them with the measured performance of the device as an ethanol sensor. Our observations are compared to theoretical calculations of charge transfers between molecules and the graphene surface. We find that, although often overlooked, the surface cleanliness after device fabrication is responsible for the device performance and reliability. These results further our understanding of the mechanisms of sensing in graphene-based environmental sensors and pave the way to optimizing such devices, especially for their miniaturization, as with decreasing size of the active zone the potential role of contaminants will rise.

Abstract
Carbon materials, with their diverse allotropes, have played significant roles in our daily life and the development of material science. Following 0D C60 and 1D carbon nanotube, 2D graphene materials, with their distinctively fascinating properties, have been receiving tremendous attention since 2004. To fulfill the efficient utilization of 2D graphene sheets in applications such as energy storage and conversion, electrochemical catalysis, and environmental remediation, 3D structures constructed by graphene sheets have been attempted over the past decade, giving birth to a new generation of graphene materials called 3D graphene materials. This review starts with the definition, classifications, brief history, and basic synthesis chemistries of 3D graphene materials. Then a critical discussion on the design considerations of 3D graphene materials for diverse applications is provided. Subsequently, after emphasizing the importance of normalized property characterization for the 3D structures, approaches for 3D graphene material synthesis from three major types of carbon sources (GO, hydrocarbons and inorganic carbon compounds) based on GO chemistry, hydrocarbon chemistry, and new alkali-metal chemistry, respectively, are comprehensively reviewed with a focus on their synthesis mechanisms, controllable aspects, and scalability. At last, current challenges and future perspectives for the development of 3D graphene materials are addressed.

Abstract
Individual cells and cell populations are at the present time investigated with a myriad of analytical tools. While most of them are commercially available, some of these analytical tools are just emerging from research laboratories and are in the developmental phase. Electrochemical sensors which allow the monitoring of low molecular weight compounds released (and / or uptaken) by cells are among these emerging tools. Such sensors are increasingly built using 2D materials (e.g. graphene-based materials, transition metal dichalcogenides, etc.) with the aim of conferring better analytical performances to these devices. The present work critically reviews studies published during the last 10 years describing electrochemical sensors made with 2D materials and exploited to monitor small compounds (e.g. H2O2, ·NO, glucose, etc.) in living biological systems. It also discusses the very few 2D material-based electrochemical sensors which are wearable or usable in vivo. Finally, the present work includes a specific section about 2D material biocompatibility, a fundamental requirement for 2D material-based sensor applications in vitro and in vivo. As such, the review provides a critical view on the state of the art of electrochemical sensors made with 2D materials and used at cellular level and it evaluates the possibility that such sensors will be used on / in the human body on a wider scale.

Abstract
As an emerging field of research, graphene patterning has received considerable attention because of its ability to tailor the structure of graphene and the respective properties, aiming at practical applications such as electronic devices, catalysts, and sensors. Recent efforts in this field have led to the development of a variety of different approaches to pattern graphene sheets, providing a multitude of graphene patterns with different shapes and sizes. These established patterning techniques in combination with graphene chemistry have paved the road towards highly attractive chemical patterning approaches, establishing a very promising and vigorously developing research topic. In this review, an overview of commonly used strategies is presented that are categorized into top-down and bottom-up routes for graphene patterning, focusing mainly on new advances. Other than the introduction of basic concepts of each method, the advantages/disadvantages are compared as well. In addition, for the first time, an overview of chemical patterning techniques is outlined. At the end, the challenges and future perspectives in the field are envisioned.

Abstract
A simple and low-cost electrochemical sensor based on multimodified screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) was successfully synthesized for the sensitive detection of β-lactoglobulin (β-Lg). The surface treatment of SPEs was accomplished by a simple drip coating method using polyethyleneimine (PEI), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), and gold nanoclusters (AuNCs), and the treated SPEs showed excellent electrical conductivity. The modified SPEs were then characterized with UV-Vis, SEM, TEM, and FTIR to analyze the morphology and composition of the AuNCs and the rGO. An anti-β-Lg antibody was then immobilized on the composite material obtained by modifying rGO with PEI and AuNCs (PEI-rGO-AuNCs), leading to the remarkable reduction in conductivity of the SPEs due to the reaction between antigen and antibody. The sensor obtained using this novel approach enabled a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.08 ng/mL and a detection range from 0.01 to 100 ng/mL for β-Lg. Furthermore, pure milk samples from four milk brands were measured using electrochemical sensors, and the results were in excellent agreement with those from commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods.

Abstract
The sonochemical methods have been used as a straight forward method for the synthesis of various composite materials, including the transition metal dichalcogenide composites. In the present work, we report a simple sonochemical synthesis of CuS nanoplates decorated partially reduced graphene oxide (PrGO) nanocomposite for the first time. The PrGO-CuS nanocomposite was synthesized using bath-sonication (frequency: 37 kHz; power: 150 W) of graphene oxide (GO), and CuS precursors at 80 °C for 60 min. The physicochemical characterization (FESEM, XRD, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopy) results confirmed the successful formation of CuS nanoplates on PrGO nanosheets. The as-synthesized PrGO-CuS nanocomposite was further utilized for electroanalysis of dopamine neurotransmitter. The obtained electroanalytical results revealed that PrGO-CuS nanocomposite has superior electrochemical activity towards dopamine than those obtained for GO, CuS, and GO-CuS composite. The fabricated biosensor shows a lower limit of detection (0.022 µM) with a more comprehensive linear response range (0.1-155.1 µM) for the detection of dopamine. Moreover, the PrGO-CuS nanocomposite electrode was successfully used for the detection of dopamine in bovine serum albumin.

Abstract
Bacterial infections represent nowadays the major reason of biomaterials implant failure, however, most of the available implantable materials do not hold antimicrobial properties, thus requiring antibiotic therapy once the infection occurs. The fast raising of antibiotic-resistant pathogens is making this approach as not more effective, leading to the only solution of device removal and causing devastating consequences for patients. Accordingly, there is a large research about alternative strategies based on the employment of materials holding intrinsic antibacterial properties in order to prevent infections. Between these new strategies, new technologies involving the use of carbon-based materials such as carbon nanotubes, fullerene, graphene and diamond-like carbon shown very promising results. In particular, graphene- and graphene-derived materials (GMs) demonstrated a broad range antibacterial activity toward bacteria, fungi and viruses. These antibacterial activities are attributed mainly to the direct physicochemical interaction between GMs and bacteria that cause a deadly deterioration of cellular components, principally proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. In fact, GMs hold a high affinity to the membrane proteoglycans where they accumulate leading to membrane damages; similarly, after internalization they can interact with bacteria RNA/DNA hydrogen groups interrupting the replicative stage. Moreover, GMs can indirectly determine bacterial death by activating the inflammatory cascade due to active species generation after entering in the physiological environment. On the opposite, despite these bacteria-targeted activities, GMs have been successfully employed as pro-regenerative materials to favor tissue healing for different tissue engineering purposes. Taken into account these GMs biological properties, this review aims at explaining the antibacterial mechanisms underlying graphene as a promising material applicable in biomedical devices.

Abstract
In recent years, graphene oxide has been considered as a soluble precursor of graphene for electronic applications. However, the performance lags behind that of graphene due to lattice defects. Here, the relation between the density of defects in the range of 0.2 % and 1.5 % and the transport properties is quantitatively studied. Therefore, the related flakes of monolayers of graphene were prepared from oxo-functionalized graphene (oxo-G). The morphologic structure of oxo-G was imaged by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Field-effect mobility values were determined to range between 0.3 cm2 V-1 s-1 and 33.2 cm2 V-1 s-1 , which were inversely proportional to the density of defects. These results provide the first quantitative description of the density of defects and transport properties, which plays an important role for potential applications.

Abstract
Macrocyclic compounds have attracted tremendous attention for their superior
performance in supramolecular recognition, catalysis, and host-guest interaction. With
these admirable properties, macrocyclic compounds were used as modifiers for enhancing
the sensitivity and selectivity of electrodes and optical sensors. The classic macrocyclic
compounds, including crown ethers, cyclodextrins, calixarenes, cucurbiturils, and pillararenes,
were employed as receptors for electrochemical and optical sensors to develop
new analytical methods with the wilder detection range, lower detection limit, and better
tolerance of interference. Macrocyclic molecules functionalized with nanomaterials, the
small entities with dimensions in the nanoscale, realized the versatility and diversification
of the nano-hybrid materials, which improved the capabilities of recognition and response
with the combining characteristics of two components. Herein, this review focused on the development in the
research field of hybridization of organic macrocycles with nanoparticles and their applications for chemosensors,
aiming at both existing researchers in the field and who would like to enter into the research.

Abstract
This review provides a critical overview of current developments on nanoelectronic biochemical sensors based on graphene. Composed of a single layer of conjugated carbon atoms, graphene has outstanding high carrier mobility and low intrinsic electrical noise, but a chemically inert surface. Surface functionalization is therefore crucial to unravel graphene sensitivity and selectivity for the detection of targeted analytes. To achieve optimal performance of graphene transistors for biochemical sensing, the tuning of the graphene surface properties via surface functionalization and passivation is highlighted, as well as the tuning of its electrical operation by utilizing multifrequency ambipolar configuration and a high frequency measurement scheme to overcome the Debye screening to achieve low noise and highly sensitive detection. Potential applications and prospectives of ultrasensitive graphene electronic biochemical sensors ranging from environmental monitoring and food safety, healthcare and medical diagnosis, to life science research, are presented as well.

Abstract
In the last decade, biochemical sensors have brought a disruptive breakthrough in analytical chemistry and microbiology due the advent of technologically advanced systems conceived to respond to specific applications. From the design of a multitude of different detection modalities, several classes of sensor have been developed over the years. However, to date they have been hardly used in point-of-care or in-field applications, where cost and portability are of primary concern. In the present review we report on the use of nanostructured organic and hybrid compounds in optoelectronic, electrochemical and plasmonic components as constituting elements of miniaturized and easy-to-integrate biochemical sensors. We show how the targeted design, synthesis and nanostructuring of organic and hybrid materials have enabled enormous progress not only in terms of modulation and optimization of the sensor capabilities and performance when used as active materials, but also in the architecture of the detection schemes when used as structural/packing components. With a particular focus on optoelectronic, chemical and plasmonic components for sensing, we highlight that the new concept of having highly-integrated architectures through a system-engineering approach may enable the full expression of the potential of the sensing systems in real-setting applications in terms of fast-response, high sensitivity and multiplexity at low-cost and ease of portability.

Abstract
Due to their excellent physical and chemical properties, graphene sheets are widely used in industry, which makes detection important to guarantee their performance. Atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy are the most common detection methods, which is either time-consuming or easily destructive. In this work, we presented a fast and nondestructive method to detect single graphene sheets by using plasmonic imaging. Dual channel sampling plasmonic imaging combining the image processing algorithm is used to improve the deterioration from propagation length of surface plasmon polaritons and reconstruct the complete morphology of single graphene sheets. The fast and nondestructive detection method paves the way to applications of graphene, and can be extended to the detections of two-dimensional materials, single biological molecule, viruses, and nanomaterials.

Abstract
Tremendous demands for highly sensitive and selective nonenzymatic electrochemical biosensors have motivated intensive research on advanced electrode materials with high electrocatalytic activity. Herein, the 3D-networked CuO@carbon nanowalls/diamond (C/D) architecture is rationally designed, and it demonstrates wide linear range (0.5 × 10-6 -4 × 10-3 m), high sensitivity (1650 µA cm-2 mm-1 ), and low detection limit (0.5 × 10-6 m), together with high selectivity, great long-term stability, and good reproducibility in glucose determination. The outstanding performance of the CuO@C/D electrode can be ascribed to the synergistic effect coming from high-electrocatalytic-activity CuO nanoparticles and 3D-networked conductive C/D film. The C/D film is composed of carbon nanowalls and diamond nanoplatelets; and owing to the large surface area, accessible open surfaces, and high electrical conduction, it works as an excellent transducer, greatly accelerating the mass- and charge-transport kinetics of electrocatalytic reaction on the CuO biorecognition element. Besides, the vertical aligned diamond nanoplatelet scaffolds could improve structural and mechanical stability of the designed electrode in long-term performance. The excellent CuO@C/D electrode promises potential application in practical glucose detection, and the strategy proposed here can also be extended to construct other biorecognition elements on the 3D-networked conductive C/D transducer for various high-performance nonenzymatic electrochemical biosensors.

Abstract
Quantum dots (QDs) can serve as an attractive Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) donor for DNA assay due to their excellent optical properties. However, the specificity and sensitivity of QD-based FRET analysis are prominently reduced by nonspecific DNA adsorption and poor colloidal stability during DNA hybridization, which hinders the practical applications of QDs as a biosensing platform. Here, we report subnanomolar FRET assay of DNA through the stabilization of DNA/QD interface using DNA-functionalized QDs with phosphorothioated single-stranded DNA (pt-ssDNA) as a multivalent ligand in an aqueous solution. In situ DNA functionalization was achieved during the aqueous synthesis of CdTe/CdS QDs, resulting in the maximum photoluminescence quantum yields of 76.9% at an emission wavelength of 732 nm. Conventional monothiolated ssDNA-capped QDs exhibited particle aggregation and photoluminescence (PL) quenching during DNA hybridization at 70 °C due to the dissociation of surface ligands. Such colloidal instability induced the nonspecific adsorption of DNA, resulting in false-positive signal and decreased sensitivity with the limit of detection (LOD) of 16.1 nM. In contrast, the pt-ssDNA-functionalized QDs maintained their colloidal stability and PL properties at elevated temperatures. The LOD of the pt-ssDNA-functionalized QDs was >30 times lower (0.47 nM) while maintaining the high specificity to a target sequence because the strong multivalent binding of pt-ssDNA to the surface of QDs prevents the detachment of pt-ssDNA and nonspecific adsorption of DNA. The study suggests that the ligand design to stabilize the surface of QDs in an aqueous milieu is critically important for the high performance of QDs for specific DNA assay.

Abstract
The controlled functionalization of semiconducting 2D materials (2DMs) with photoresponsive molecules enables the generation of novel hybrid structures as active components for the fabrication of high-performance multifunctional field-effect transistors (FETs) and memories. This study reports the realization of optically switchable FETs by decorating the surface of the semiconducting 2DMs such as WSe2 and black phosphorus with suitably designed diarylethene (DAE) molecules to modulate their electron and hole transport, respectively, without sacrificing their pristine electrical performance. The efficient and reversible photochemical isomerization of the DAEs between the open and the closed isomer, featuring different energy levels, makes it possible to generate photoswitchable charge trapping levels, resulting in the tuning of charge transport through the 2DMs by alternating illumination with UV and visible light. The device reveals excellent data-retention capacity combined with multiple and well-distinguished accessible current levels, paving the way for its use as an active element in multilevel memories.

Nanostructured materials mostly played a key major role in the electrochemical immunosensors fabrication and operation improvement. This review focused mainly on the protocols for using nanostructures to fabricate electrochemical (nonlabeled@label-free and labeled@sandwich-type) immunosensors. Furthermore, this review has also described the diverse classes of electroactive nanospecies which are a complementary part of any immunosensor that assists to reach the selectivity for the target antigen. Finally, the important analytical characteristics of the published immunosensors were discussed (electrochemical detection technique, linear range, and detection limit). Studies published between the years 2009-2018 have been included in this review.

Abstract
In this paper, a novel electrochemical sensor based on Au nanoparticles/8-aminoquinoline functionalized graphene oxide (AuNPs/GAQ) nanocomposite was developed and tested for the first time for detection of paraquat (PQ). The morphology and composition of AuNPs/GAQ nanocomposite were characterized by various techniques, including transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry were utilized to investigate the electrochemical performances of AuNPs/GAQ nanocomposite modified glassy carbon electrode. The obtained modified electrode exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity towards detection of PQ. Under the optimized conditions, the proposed sensor showed low detection limit (6 nM, S/N = 3), wide linear range (0.02-24 μM), high selectivity and good stability. In addition, it was successfully applied for detection of PQ in natural water samples with satisfactory results.

Abstract
Graphene and its derivatives such as graphene oxide (GO) and reduced GO (rGO) offer excellent electrical, mechanical and electrochemical properties. Further, due to the presence of high surface area, and a rich oxygen and defect framework, they are able to form nanocomposites with metal/semiconductor nanoparticles, metal oxides, quantum dots and polymers. Such nanocomposites are becoming increasingly useful as electrochemical biosensing platforms. In this review, we present a brief introduction on the aforementioned graphene derivatives, and discuss their synthetic strategies and structure-property relationships important for biosensing. We then highlight different nanocomposite platforms that have been developed for electrochemical biosensing, introducing enzymatic biosensors, followed by non-enzymatic biosensors and immunosensors. Additionally, we briefly discuss their role in the emerging field of biomedical cell capture. Finally, a brief outlook on these topics is presented.

Abstract
In this study, gelatin-based microcapsules were first proposed as a carbon source for the synthesis of nitrogen-doped hierarchical porous carbon (N-HPC) via a facile one-pot high-temperature treatment. The morphologies of the microcapsules could be well controlled by adjusting the synthesis parameters; this ensured the repeatability of the calcined products. The as-prepared N-HPC possesses a favorable three-dimensional network structure and hierarchical porous structure. As a promising modified electrode, N-HPC displayed remarkably improved stability and sensitivity for lead ion (Pb2+) detection. Moreover, two factors are responsible for the good analytical performance: (i) the morphologies of the microcapsules are controllable and reproducible; this improves the detection stability; and (ii) the nitrogen atoms in the shells of the microcapsules can efficiently interact with Pb2+; this enhances the detection sensitivity. The influences of various experimental parameters, including the pH value of the supporting electrolyte, deposition potential and deposition time, on the stripping signal of Pb2+ were investigated. The method displayed a wide linear range of the Pb2+ concentration from 7 nM to 7000 nM with the detection limit of 1.44 nM under the optimized conditions. The modified electrode possessed high selectivity, which might be due to the high binding affinity of the NH2 - groups to Pb2+. The developed method has been successfully applied to the detection of Pb2+ in actual water samples; this demonstrates that the N-HPC-based electrochemical sensors have prospective applications in the environmental monitoring of Pb2+.

Abstract
A versatile, robust and efficient differential potential ratiometric sensing platform was developed for enantioselective recognition of dual chiral targets based on a composite membrane of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The functional chitosan-based MIPs and rGO were compatibly immobilized on the GCE with high selectivity and efficient signal amplification. Moreover, via the systematic optimization of series conditions, a distinct potential difference (PD), reaching 135 mV, was obtained between the R-/S-prop based on the MIPs/rGO/GCE. In a controllable concentration range from 50 μM to 1000 μM, different ratios of R-/S-prop were linearly related to the peak potentials (Eps) in the racemic mixture. Using this low-cost reversible electrochemical platform, both Prop enantiomers were simultaneously identified with high repeatability and time-based stability. This novel semi-quantitative electrochemical sensing platform was established to rapidly quantify the ratio of S-/R-prop by Ep for the chiral drug recognition with great potential for practical applications in fields of pharmacological detection and clinical analysis.
