Abstract
Clean room facilities are becoming more popular in both academic and industry settings, including low-and middle-income countries. This has led to an increased demand for cost-effective gas sensors to monitor air quality. Here we have developed a gas sensor using CoNiO2nanoparticles through combustion method. The sensitivity and selectivity of the sensor towards CO2were influenced by the structure of the nanoparticles, which were affected by the reducing agent (biofuels) used during synthesis. Among all reducing agents, urea found to yield highly crystalline and uniformly distributed CoNiO2nanoparticles, which when developed into sensors showed high sensitivity and selectivity for the detection of CO2gas in the presence of common interfering volatile organic compounds observed in cleanroom facilities including ammonia, formaldehyde, acetone, toluene, ethanol, isopropanol and methanol. In addition, the urea-mediated nanoparticle-based sensors exhibited room temperature operation, high stability, prompt response and recovery rates, and excellent reproducibility. Consequently, the synthesis approach to nanoparticle-based, energy efficient and affordable sensors represent a benchmark for CO2sensing in cleanroom settings.

Abstract
Polyaniline-based conductive polymers are promising electrochemical sensor materials due to their unique physical and chemical properties, such as good gas absorption, low dielectric loss, and chemical and thermal stabilities. The sensing performance is highly dependent on the structure and dimensions of the polyaniline-based conductive polymers. Although in situ oxidative polymerization combined with the self-assembly process has become one of the main processes for the preparation of flexible polyaniline-based gas sensors, how to prepare polyaniline materials into uniformly arranged microwire arrays is still an urgent problem. In this paper, an in-depth study was conducted on the preparation of polyaniline microwire arrays by combining a wettability interface dewetting process and a liquid-film-induced capillary bridges method. The factors influencing the preparation of polyaniline microwire arrays, including solution concentration, template width, evaporation temperature, and evaporation time, were investigated in detail. The wire formation rates were recorded from the results of SEM images. 100% microwires formation rate can be obtained by using a 1.0 mg mL-1 concentration of polyaniline solution and a 10 μm silicon template at an evaporation temperature of 80 °C for 18 h. The prepared microwire arrays can realize sulfur dioxide sensing at room temperature with a response speed of about 20 s and can detect sulfur dioxide gas as low as 1 ppm. Thus, the liquid-film-induced capillary bridge method shows a new possibility to prepare gas sensor devices for insoluble polymers.

Abstract
Existing public health emergencies due to fatal/infectious diseases such as coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and monkeypox have raised the paradigm of 5th generation portable intelligent and multifunctional biosensors embedded on a single chip. The state-of-the-art 5th generation biosensors are concerned with integrating advanced functional materials with controllable physicochemical attributes and optimal machine processability. In this direction, 2D metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes), owing to their enhanced effective surface area, tunable physicochemical properties, and rich surface functionalities, have shown promising performances in biosensing flatlands. Moreover, their hybridization with diversified nanomaterials caters to their associated challenges for the commercialization of stability due to restacking and oxidation. MXenes and its hybrid biosensors have demonstrated intelligent and lab-on-chip prospects for determining diverse biomarkers/pathogens related to fatal and infectious diseases. Recently, on-site detection has been clubbed with solution-on-chip MXenes by interfacing biosensors with modern-age technologies, including 5G communication, internet-of-medical-things (IoMT), artificial intelligence (AI), and data clouding to progress toward hospital-on-chip (HOC) modules. This review comprehensively summarizes the state-of-the-art MXene fabrication, advancements in physicochemical properties to architect biosensors, and the progress of MXene-based lab-on-chip biosensors toward HOC solutions. Besides, it discusses sustainable aspects, practical challenges and alternative solutions associated with these modules to develop personalized and remote healthcare solutions for every individual in the world.

Abstract
The extensive utilization of nanoparticles in cancer therapies has inspired a new field of study called cancer nanomedicine. In contrast to traditional anticancer medications, nanomedicines offer a targeted strategy that eliminates side effects and has high efficacy. With its vast surface area, variable pore size, high pore volume, abundant surface chemistry and specific binding affinity, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MPSNPs) are a potential candidate for cancer diagnosis and treatment. However, there are several bottlenecks associated with nanoparticles, including specific toxicity or affinity towards particular body fluid, which can cater by architecting core-shell nanosystems. The core-shell chemistries, synergistic effects, and interfacial heterojunctions in core-shell nanosystems enhance their stability, catalytic and physicochemical attributes, which possess high performance in cancer therapeutics. This review article summarizes research and development dedicated to engineering mesoporous core-shell nanosystems, especially silica nanoparticles and Fe3O4@Au nanoparticles, owing to their unique physicochemical characteristics. Moreover, it highlights state-of-the-art magnetic and optical attributes of Fe3O4@Au and MPSNP-based cancer therapy strategies. It details the designing of Fe3O4@Au and MPSN to bind with drugs, receptors, ligands, and destroy tumour cells and targeted drug delivery. This review serves as a fundamental comprehensive structure to guide future research towards prospects of core-shell nanosystems based on Fe3O4@Au and MPSNP for cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Fabrication of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Chinese herbal medicine is popular as the bioactive components included in them would generate potential synergistic effect with the metal nanoparticles. The leaf of Mentha pulegium, whose extract contains a range of phytochemicals and exhibits a wide spectrum of bioactivities, is used as Chinese herbal medicine after drying naturally. Thus, the green synthesis of AgNPs using Mentha pulegium has aroused interests from analysts. However, the biosynthesis of AgNPs under alkaline conditions and the biological activities remain elusive, where alkaline conditions may influence the physicochemical properties and the biological activities of biosynthesized AgNPs. In this study, we were stimulated to fabricate bioactive AgNPs using Mentha pulegium extract under alkaline conditions, accompanied by a systematic evaluation on the effect of biosynthesis parameters on the formation, average size, and polydispersity of AgNPs. Our results showed that alkaline conditions could accelerate the formation of AgNPs with a small average size but at a disadvantage to the polydispersity. Additionally, the as-prepared AgNPs had a hexagonal structure and spherical shape with an average size of 15.7 ± 0.1 nm, existing in the monodispersed form and revealing a high degree of stability. The AgNPs exhibited potent antioxidant and significant inhibitory activity for both bacterial and cancer cell lines. The MIC values of AgNPs for Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were both 50.0 μg·mL-1, and the IC50 values for HCT116, HepG2, and HeLa cells were 9.0, 14.5, and 31.5 μg·mL-1, respectively. The AgNPs biosynthesized using M. pulegium under alkaline conditions, which had a smaller size and more surface loads, are entirely different with those synthesized under acidic conditions, and the anticancer activity increased significantly. The internalization of AgNPs inside these five cells displayed a variant trend with variable AgNPs concentrations, suggesting the different mechanism of cell death. For two pathogens, HCT116 and HepG2 cancer cell lines, both cell wall and intracellular damage may be responsible for the cell death. However, for Hela cell line the cell death may be rooted in oxidative stress or intracellular penetration. These results confirmed that the AgNPs biosynthesized from M. pulegium extract under alkaline conditions would act as better anticancer agents in biomedicine.

Abstract
Ammonia (NH3) is a vital compound in diversified fields, including agriculture, automotive, chemical, food processing, hydrogen production and storage, and biomedical applications. Its extensive industrial use and emission have emerged hazardous to the ecosystem and have raised global public health concerns for monitoring NH3 emissions and implementing proper safety strategies. These facts created emergent demand for translational and sustainable approaches to design efficient, affordable, and high-performance compact NH3 sensors. Commercially available NH3 sensors possess three major bottlenecks: poor selectivity, low concentration detection, and room-temperature operation. State-of-the-art NH3 sensors are scaling up using advanced nano-systems possessing rapid, selective, efficient, and enhanced detection to overcome these challenges. MXene-polymer nanocomposites (MXP-NCs) are emerging as advanced nanomaterials of choice for NH3 sensing owing to their affordability, excellent conductivity, mechanical flexibility, scalable production, rich surface functionalities, and tunable morphology. The MXP-NCs have demonstrated high performance to develop next-generation intelligent NH3 sensors in agricultural, industrial, and biomedical applications. However, their excellent NH3-sensing features are not articulated in the form of a review. This comprehensive review summarizes state-of-the-art MXP-NCs fabrication techniques, optimization of desired properties, enhanced sensing characteristics, and applications to detect airborne NH3. Furthermore, an overview of challenges, possible solutions, and prospects associated with MXP-NCs is discussed.
