Li Y, Yang Q, Feng Y, Ye BC. A robust electrochemical sensor based on N,S-FeNi 3/C for simultaneous detection of hydroquinone and arbutin in cosmetics. Mikrochim Acta 2023; 190:150.

Abstract
For practical analysis and simultaneous detection of arbutin (AR) and hydrochinone (HQ) in cosmetics, an electrochemical sensor has been designed based on nitrogen and sulfur co-doped Fe-Ni alloy (N,S-FeNi3/C) nanoparticles. The N,S-FeNi3/C has been prepared for the first time via hydrothermal synthesis and high-temperature carbonization. N,S-FeNi3/C not only improves the charge transfer to the surface, but also provides rich active sites and fast ion diffusion rates owing to the iron and nickel bimetallic materials. In addition, the d-band structure of transition metals (nickel and iron) introduced by the N and S atoms exhibits an electronic structure similar to that of noble metal catalysts, thus enhancing electrocatalytic activity and increasing conductivity. Additionally, the double doping of S and N atoms significantly increases the active sites of carbon atoms; thus, N-S-FeNi3/C exhibits excellent electrochemical catalytic activity for the oxidation of AR and HQ. Further, the N,S-FeNi3/C sensor is used for the simultaneous determination of HQ and AR by square-wave pulse voltammetry. Distinct oxidation peaks of HQ and AR are observed at potentials of +0.028 V and +0.352 V (vs. SCE). The electrical signal increases linearly in the HQ concentration ranges of 0.1-100 μM and 0.05-70 μM for the simultaneous determination of AR and HQ with a detection limit as low as 0.0476 and 0.0135 μM (S/N = 3), respectively. Thus, rapid and accurate detection of AR and HQ in spiked cosmetics is successfully achieved, with a recovery ranging from 96.4 to 104.2%, and the relative standard deviation is lower than 3.8-4.0%.

Abstract
In vitro diagnostics (IVD) has played an indispensable role in healthcare system by providing necessary information to indicate disease condition and guide therapeutic decision. Metabolic analysis can be the primary choice to facilitate the IVD since it characterizes the downstream metabolites and offers real-time feedback of the human body. Nanomaterials with well-designed composition and nanostructure have been developed for the construction of high-performance detection platforms toward metabolic analysis. Herein, we summarize the recent progress of nanomaterials-assisted metabolic analysis and the related applications in IVD. We first introduce the important role that nanomaterials play in metabolic analysis when coupled with different detection platforms, including electrochemical sensors, optical spectrometry, and mass spectrometry. We further highlight the nanomaterials-assisted metabolic analysis toward IVD applications, from the perspectives of both the targeted biomarker quantitation and untargeted fingerprint extraction. This review provides fundamental insights into the function of nanomaterials in metabolic analysis, thus facilitating the design of next-generation diagnostic devices in clinical practice.

Electrografting a Hybrid Bilayer Membrane via Diazonium Chemistry for Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy of Amyloid-β Aggregation. MICROMACHINES 2022; 13:mi13040574. [PMID: 35457879 PMCID: PMC9029378 DOI: 10.3390/mi13040574] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2022] [Revised: 03/20/2022] [Accepted: 03/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Herein, a novel hybrid bilayer membrane is introduced as a platform to study the aggregation of amyloid-β1–42 (Aβ1–42) peptide on surfaces. The first layer was covalently attached to a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) via diazonium electrodeposition, which provided a highly stable template for the hybrid bilayer formation. To prepare the long-chain hybrid bilayer membrane (lcHBLM)-modified electrodes, GCE surfaces were modified with 4-dodecylbenzenediazonium (DDAN) followed by the modification with dihexadecyl phosphate (DHP) as the second layer. For the preparation of short-chain hybrid bilayer membrane (scHBLM)-modified electrodes, GCE surfaces were modified with 4-ethyldiazonium (EDAN) as the first layer and bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate (BEHP) was utilized as the second layer. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) were used to characterize the bilayer formation. Both positively charged [Ru(NH3)6]3+ and negatively charged ([Fe(CN)6]3-/4-) redox probes were used for electrochemical characterization of the modified surfaces using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). EIS results showed a decrease in charge transfer resistance (Rct) upon incubation of Aβ1–42 on the hybrid bilayer-modified surfaces. This framework provides a promising electrochemical platform for designing hybrid bilayers with various physicochemical properties to study the interaction of membrane-bound receptors and biomolecules on surfaces.

Abstract
The exceptional properties of 2D layered black phosphorus (BP) make it a promising candidate for electrochemical sensing applications and, even though BP is considered unstable and tends to degrade by the presence of oxygen and moisture, its oxidation can be beneficial in some situations. In this work, we present an unequivocal demonstration that the exposition of BP-based working electrodes to normal ambient conditions can indeed be advantageous, leading to an enhancement of voltammetric sensing applications. This point was proved using a BP modified screen-printed carbon electrode (BP-SPCE) for the voltammetric determination of dopamine (DA) as a model target analyte. Oxidized BP-SPCE (up to 35% of PxOy at the surface) presented an enhanced analytical performance with a 5-fold and 2-fold increase in sensitivity, as compared to bare-SPCE and non-oxidized BP-SPCE stored in anhydrous atmosphere, respectively. Good detection limit, repeatability, reproducibility, stability, selectivity, and accuracy were also achieved. Overall, the results presented herein display the prominent possibilities of preparing and working with BP based-sensors in normal ambient settings and showcase their implementation under physiological conditions.

Abstract
The rapid and accurate determination of the dopamine (neurotransmitter) and cholesterol level in bio-fluids is significant because they are crucial bioanalytes for several lethal diseases, which require early diagnosis. The level of DA in the brain is modulated by the dopamine active transporter (DAT), and is influenced by cholesterol levels in the lipid membrane environment. Accordingly, electrochemical biosensors offer rapid and accurate detection and exhibit unique features such as low detection limits even with reduced volumes of analyte, affordability, simple handling, portability and versatility, making them appropriate to deal with augmented challenges in current clinical and point-of-care diagnostics for the determination of dopamine (DA) and cholesterol. This feature article focuses on the development of ultrasensitive electrochemical biosensors for the detection of cholesterol and DA for real-time and onsite applications that can detect targeted analytes with reduced volumes and sub-picomolar concentrations with quick response times. Furthermore, the development of ultrasensitive biosensors via cost-effective, simple fabrication procedures, displaying high sensitivity, selectivity, reliability and good stability is significant in the impending era of electrochemical biosensing. Herein, we emphasize on recent advanced nanomaterials used for the ultrasensitive detection of DA and cholesterol and discuss in depth their electrochemical activities towards ultrasensitive responses. Key points describing future perspectives and the challenges during detection with their probable solutions are discussed, and the current market is also surveyed. Further, a comprehensive review of the literature indicates that there is room for improvement in the miniaturization of cholesterol and dopamine biosensors for lab-on-chip devices and overcoming the current technical limitations to facilitate full utilization by patients at home.

Abstract
In this work we describe the functionalization of metallurgically polished aluminum surfaces yielding biomimetic electrodes suitable for probing protein/phospholipid interactions. The functionalization involves two simple steps: silanization of the aluminum and subsequent fusion of multilamellar vesicles which leads to the formation of a hybrid bilayer lipid membrane (hBLM). The vesicle fusion was followed in real-time by fast Fourier transform electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (FFT EIS). The impedance-derived complex capacitance of the hBLMs was approximately 0.61 µF cm−2, a value typical for intact phospholipid bilayers. We found that the hBLMs can be readily disrupted if exposed to > 400 nM solutions of the pore-forming peptide melittin. However, the presence of cholesterol at 40% (mol) in hBLMs exhibited an inhibitory effect on the membrane-damaging capacity of the peptide. The melittin-membrane interaction was concentration dependent decreasing with concentration. The hBLMs on Al surface can be regenerated multiple times, retaining their dielectric and functional properties essentially intact.

Controllable release of dopamine from simulated enzyme-containing biomembrane by biased potential. Anal Chim Acta 2020; 1125:135-143.

Abstract
Controllable release of dopamine (DA) is worth studying for its significant in physiological metabolic process. β-cyclodextrin/11-mercaptoundecanoic acid self-assembled monolayer (β-CD/MUA SAM) based on hydrogen bonds network was constructed as simulated enzyme-containing biomembrane. DA interacted with β-CD based on intermolecular hydrogen bond and formed inclusion complexes in SAM, namely DA@β-CD/MUA SAM. The desorption process of DA from DA@β-CD/MUA SAM revealed the release behavior of DA from enzyme-containing biomembrane at molecular level. Positive biased potential as external stimulus was applied at DA@β-CD/MUA SAM, reducing the negative charge density of SAM. The decrease of negative charge density of SAM resulted in the weakening of hydrogen bond between DA and β-CD, which in turn caused DA to be released. Using scanning electrochemical microscopy, positive biased potential not only had specificity induction for the release of DA, but also was able to monitor the release quantitatively in real time. These results showed that positive biased potential as external stimulus was favorable for the controllable release of DA, suggesting the possible application of biased potential in controllable regulation field.

Abstract
Well-dispersed and graft-crosslinked gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were synthesized by the reduction of tetrachloroaurate with hydrazine at room temperature. The AuNPs possess a high density of surface defects which is due to grafting of n-octanoic acid to polyvinylpyrrolidone. The physical and chemical properties of the resulting AuNPs were characterized by UV-vis, XRD, TEM/HRTEM, SAED, and XPS, respectively. The modified AuNPs were placed on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) in an electropolymerized taurine layer to obtain a sensitive, selective, stable and rapid electrochemical dopamine sensor. The peak current, typically measured at 0.17 V (vs. SCE), increases linearly in the 1.0 to 120 μM dopamine concentration range, and the limit of detection (at S/N = 3) is 0.16 μM with a sensitivity of 2.94 μA·μM-1·cm-2. The sensor was successfully applied to the determination of dopamine in injections and spiked serum samples. The recoveries from spiked serum samples range from 97.5 to 102.4%, with RSDs ranging between 2.8 and 3.4%. Graphical abstract Schematic representation of a glassy carbon electrode modified with in-situ graft-crosslinked gold nanoparticles combined with an electropolymerized polytaurine membrane. The sensor exhibits excellent features towards dopamine determination.
