Abstract
A reagentless and single-step electrochemical aptasensor with separation-free fashion and rapid response is developed for the Hg2+ assay in dairy products. Herein, the sensing strategy is established on Hg2+-induced structural transition of the methylene-blue-tagged single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) from a flexible manner to rigid hairpin-shaped double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), generating an improved peak current for the Hg2+ assay with a detection limit of 0.62 fM. Importantly, the best signal-to-noise ratio value can be obtained by exploiting Au flowers as sensing material and the optimal ssDNA concentration. The proposed sensor also exhibits high selectivity as a result of the specific thymine-Hg2+-thymine (T-Hg2+-T) coordination chemistry and can be applied to detect Hg2+ in dairy products. With the use of the electric "signal-on" switch, the electrochemical aptasensor has the advantages of simplicity, ease of operation, and high sensitivity and specificity, offering a promising method to assess the safety of dairy products polluted with Hg2+.

Abstract
Mercury ion (Hg2+) is a heavy metal that can cause serious water pollution. With the accumulation of large quantities in lakes, rivers, freshwater and aquatic life, Hg2+ can pass through the food chain, entering the human body and endangering health. Hg2+ detection has therefore become important thereby attracting extensive interests. Currently, several DNA-based sensors have been used for Hg2+ detection because they are not easy to degrade and are very stable. This paper summarizes the application of some DNA-based sensors based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), analyzes their characteristic, and compares their sensitivity. Future perspectives and possible challenges in this area are also outlined.

Abstract
N6-methyladenosine (m6A), one of the most abundant RNA methylation which is ubiquitous in eukaryotic RNA, plays vital roles in many biological progresses. Therefore, the rapid and accurate quantitative detection of m6A is particularly important for its functional research. Herein, a label-free and highly selective electrochemical immunosensor was developed for the detection of m6A. The method is established on that the anti-m6A-Ab can recognize both m6A-RNA and m6A-DNA. An analogous modified DNA probe (L1) serves as a signal molecule, by competing with m6A-RNA for binding to Abs to broaden the linear range. The detection of m6A-RNA by this method is unaffected by the lengths and base sequences of RNA. Under optimal conditions, the proposed immunosensor presented a wide linear range from 0.05 to 200 nM with a detection limit as low as 0.016 nM (S/N = 3). The specificity and reproducibility of the method are satisfactory. Furthermore, the developed immunosensor was validated for m6A determination in human cell lines. Thus, the immunosensor provides a promising platform for m6A-RNA detection with simplicity, high specificity and sensitivity.

Abstract
A covalent conjugate of horseradish apoperoxidase and amino-containing oligonucleotide was synthesized for the first time. Using the obtained conjugate as a capture reagent chemiluminescent microtiter plate-based assay for detection of 35-mer fragment of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA (proof-of-concept analyte) was developed. To detect the target DNA, a signaling system consisted of biotinylated reporter oligonucleotide and HRP-streptavidin conjugate was used. The high sensitivity of the assay was due to the enhanced chemiluminescence reaction, where 3-(10′-phenothiazinyl)propane-1-sulfonate/N-morpholinopyridine pair was used as an enhancer. Under the optimized conditions the limit of detection and a working range of the assay were 3 pM and 6⁻100 pM, respectively. The assay sensitivity was 1.6 × 10⁵ RLU/pM of target. The coefficient of variation (CV) for determination of HBV DNA within the working range was lower than 6%.

Abstract
Energy and environmental issues are the major concerns in our contemporary "risk society". As a green technique, photocatalysis has been identified as a promising solution for above-mentioned problems. In recent decade, BiOX (X = Cl, Br, I) photocatalytic nanomaterials have sparked numerous interest as economical and efficient photocatalysts for energy conversion and environmental management. The distinctive physicochemical properties of BiOX nanomaterials, especially their energy band structures and levels as well as relaxed layered nanostructures, should be responsible for the visible-light-driven photocatalytic performance improvement, which could be utilized in dealing with the global energy and environmental challenges. In this review, recent advances for the enhancement of BiOX photocatalytic activity are detailedly summarized. Furthermore, the applications of BiOX photocatalysts in water splitting and refractory organic pollutants removal are highlighted to offer guidelines for better development in photocatalysis. Particularly, no relative reports in previous studies were documented in CO2 reduction as well as heavy metals and air pollutants removal, thus this review presented as a considerable research value. Challenges in the construction of high-performance BiOX-based photocatalytic systems are also discussed. With the exponential growth of studies on BiOX photocatalytic nanomaterials, this review provides unique and comprehensive perspectives to design BiOX-based photocatalytic systems with superior visible light photocatalytic activity. The knowledge of both the merits and demerits of BiOX photocatalysts are updated and provided as a reference.

Abstract
Food and environmental monitoring is one of the most important aspects of dealing with recent threats to human well-being and ecosystems. In this framework, electrochemical aptamer-based sensors are resilient due to their ability to resolve food and environmental contamination. An aptamer-based sensor is a compact analytical device combining an aptamer as the bio-sensing element integrated on the transducer surface. Aptamers display many advantages as biorecognition elements in sensor development when compared to affinity-based (antibodies) sensors. Aptasensors are small, chemically unchanging, and inexpensive. Moreover, they offer extraordinary elasticity and expediency in the design of their assemblies, which has led to innovative sensors that show tremendous sensitivity and selectivity. This review will emphasize recent food and environmental safeguarding using aptasensors; there are good prospects for their performance as a supplement to classical techniques.

Abstract
Nanoporous gold (np-Au), because of its high surface area-to-volume ratio, excellent conductivity, chemical inertness, physical stability, biocompatibility, easily tunable pores, and plasmonic properties, has attracted much interested in the field of nanotechnology. It has promising applications in the fields of catalysis, bio/chemical sensing, drug delivery, biomolecules separation and purification, fuel cell development, surface-chemistry-driven actuation, and supercapacitor design. Many chemical and electrochemical procedures are known for the preparation of np-Au. Recently, researchers are focusing on easier and controlled ways to tune the pores and ligaments size of np-Au for its use in different applications. Electrochemical methods have good control over fine-tuning pore and ligament sizes. The np-Au electrodes that are prepared using electrochemical techniques are robust and are easier to handle for their use in electrochemical biosensing. Here, we review different electrochemical strategies for the preparation, post-modification, and characterization of np-Au along with the synergistic use of both electrochemistry and np-Au for applications in biosensing.

Abstract
Water pollution has become one of the leading causes of human health problems. Low molecular weight pollutants, even at trace concentrations in water sources, have aroused global attention due to their toxicity after long-time exposure. There is an increased demand for appropriate methods to detect these pollutants in aquatic systems. Aptamers, single-stranded DNA or RNA, have high affinity and specificity to each of their target molecule, similar to antigen-antibody interaction. Aptamers can be selected using a method called Systematic Evolution of Ligands by EXponential enrichment (SELEX). Recent years we have witnessed great progress in developing aptamer selection and aptamer-based sensors for low molecular weight pollutants in water sources, such as tap water, seawater, lake water, river water, as well as wastewater and its effluents. This review provides an overview of aptamer-based methods as a novel approach for detecting low molecular weight pollutants in water sources.

Abstract
A novel branch-trunk Ag hierarchical nanostructure was synthesized via a galvanic replacement reaction combined with microwave-assisted synthesis using Te nanowire as a sacrificial template. The Te nanowire was synthesized via a hydrothermal process. We further investigated the potential application of the obtained hierarchical nanostructures in electrochemical sensor analysis. The results showed that the as-prepared sensor exhibited a wide linear range with 0.05 µM to 1.925 mM (R = 0.998) and the detection limit was estimated to be 0.013 µM (S/N = 3). These results indicate the branch-truck Ag hierarchical nanostructures are an excellent candidate material for sensing applications.
