Abstract
This work presents a novel approach for the electrochemical detection of p-nitrophenol (pNP) focusing on the development of a simple and efficient strategy to overcome pNP adsorption. The proposed method involves the functionalization of a silver (Ag) electrode with an electrografted, thin diazonium film. After characterization by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry, the as-functionalized electrode allowed a wide linear detection range to be established in aqueous solutions, spanning from 1 to 500 μM pNP. This outcome indicates that the diazonium film effectively addresses any issues related to adsorption with good repeatability and reproducibility. Furthermore, the sensor's analytical performances were evaluated yielding a sensitivity and a limit of detection of 0.3819 μA cm-2 μM-1 and 600 nM, respectively. The sensor was also found to exhibit a good selectivity towards pNP and phenolic compounds and was successfully tested on a real water sample.

Abstract
Cu(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (CuAAC), also known as click chemistry, has been demonstrated to be highly robust while providing versatile surface chemistry. One specific application is biosensor fabrication. Recently, we developed thermoplastic electrodes (TPEs) as an alternative to traditional carbon composite electrodes in terms of cost, performance, and robustness. However, their applications in biosensing are currently limited due to a lack of facile methods for electrode modification. Here, we demonstrate the feasibility of using CuAAC following the diazonium grafting of TPEs to take advantage of two powerful technologies for developing a customizable and versatile biosensing platform. After a stepwise characterization of the electrode modification procedures was performed, electrodes were modified with model affinity reagents. Streptavidin and streptavidin-conjugated IgG antibodies were successfully immobilized on the TPE surface, as confirmed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

Abstract
Modification of electrodes with biomolecules is an essential first step for the development of bioelectrochemical systems, which are used in a variety of applications ranging from sensors to fuel cells. Gold is often used because of its ease of modification with thiolated biomolecules, but carbon screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) are gaining popularity due to their low cost and fabrication from abundant resources. However, their effective modification with biomolecules remains a challenge; the majority of work to-date relies on nonspecific adhesion or broad amide bond formation to chemical handles on the electrode surface. By combining facile electrochemical modification to add an aniline handle to electrodes with a specific and biocompatible oxidative coupling reaction, we can readily modify carbon electrodes with a variety of biomolecules. Importantly, both proteins and DNA maintain bioactive conformations following coupling. We have then used biomolecule-modified electrodes to generate microbial monolayers through DNA-directed immobilization. This work provides an easy, general strategy to modify inexpensive carbon electrodes, significantly expanding their potential as bioelectrochemical systems.

Abstract
A rapid procedure for the functionalization of glassy carbon surfaces (GCSs) is disclosed. A three-step sequence of bromomethylation, azide displacement, and copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) allows ethynylated molecules to be attached covalently to the carbon surface through a methylene functional group. Redox-active ethynyl ferrocene and [RuII(Cl)(DMSO)(ethynyl-TPA)]1+ (DMSO = dimethylsulfoxide; TPA = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine) are attached with high coverages as assessed by cyclic voltammetry, and the elemental composition of the surface is confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. In less than 1 h, surface coverages of 1 × 1014 molecules/cm2 are possible that exhibit good durability in both acidic and basic media. Attached [RuII(Cl)(DMSO)(ethynyl-TPA)]1+ catalytically oxidizes alcohols, yet the currents and potentials are less impressive compared to an attachment without the intervening methylene group. The advantages of this covalent attachment procedure for GCSs are its short reaction times, mild reaction conditions, and the use of standard laboratory reagents and glassware, allowing for many types of ethynylated molecules to be attached rapidly to the surface.

Abstract
The selective visible-light-driven generation of a weak acid (sulfinic acid, in nitrogen-purged solutions) or a strong acid (sulfonic acid, in oxygen-purged solutions) by using shelf-stable arylazo sulfones was developed. These sulfones were then used for the green, smooth, and efficient photochemical catalytic protection of several (substituted) alcohols (and phenols) as tetrahydropyranyl ethers or acetals.

Abstract
A new coupling reaction, the para-fluoro-thiol (PFT) reaction, activated by base at room temperature, is reported for carbon surface functionalization. 4-Nitrothiophenol (4-NTP) and (3-nitrobenzyl)mercaptan (3-NBM) were coupled to pentafluorophenyl (F5-Ph) anchor layers grafted from the aryldiazonium ion formed in situ. The relative yields of the PFT reactions, estimated from the electrochemical responses of coupled nitrophenyl (NP) and nitrobenzyl (NB) groups, depended on the nucleophilicity of the thiolate and the strength of the base. The highest surface concentration (4.6 × 10-10 mol cm-2) was obtained using 3-NBM in the presence of [Bu4N]OH; this concentration corresponds to the maximum that is typically achieved for other high-yielding coupling reactions at aryldiazonium ion anchor layers. The PFT reaction is expected to be applicable to the numerous thiol derivatives commonly restricted to self-assembled monolayer (SAM) formation at gold and other noble metals, thereby opening a simple new approach for interface design on carbon substrates. The strategy may also have advantages for modification of gold surfaces: the layer prepared by coupling 3-NBM to F5-Ph films on gold was found to be more stable to storage under ambient conditions than self-assembled monolayers of 3-NBM.

Abstract
The tyrosine residue of proteins participates in a wide range of activities including enzymatic catalysis, protein-protein interaction, and protein-ligand binding. However, the functional annotation of the tyrosine residues on a large scale is still very challenging. Here, we report a novel method integrating azo coupling, bioorthogonal chemistry, and multiplexed proteomics to globally investigate the tyrosine reactivity in the human proteome. Based on the azo-coupling reaction between aryl diazonium salt and the tyrosine residue, two different probes were evaluated, and the probe with the best performance was employed to further study the tyrosine residues in the human proteome. Then, tagged tyrosine-containing peptides were selectively enriched using bioorthogonal chemistry, and after the cleavage, a small tag on the peptides perfectly fits for site-specific analysis by MS. Coupling with multiplexed proteomics, we quantified over 5000 tyrosine sites in MCF7 cells, and these quantified sites displayed a wide range of reactivity. The tyrosine residues with high reactivity were found on functionally and structurally diverse proteins, including those with the catalytic activity and binding property. This method can be extensively applied to advance our understanding of protein functions and facilitate the development of covalent drugs to regulate protein activity.

Abstract
Aryldiazonium ions are widely used reagents for surface modification. Attractive aspects of their use include wide substrate compatibility (ranging from plastics to carbons to metals and metal oxides), formation of stable covalent bonding to the substrate, simplicity of modification methods that are compatible with organic and aqueous solvents, and the commercial availability of many aniline precursors with a straightforward conversion to the active reagent. Importantly, the strong bonding of the modifying layer to the surface makes the method ideally suited to further on-surface (postfunctionalization) chemistry. After an initial grafting from a suitable aryldiazonium ion to give an anchor layer, a target species can be coupled to the layer, hugely expanding the range of species that can be immobilized. This strategy has been widely employed to prepare materials for numerous applications including chemical sensors, biosensors, catalysis, optoelectronics, composite materials, and energy conversion and storage. In this Review our goal is first to summarize how a target species with a particular functional group may be covalently coupled to an appropriate anchor layer. We then review applications of the resulting materials.

Abstract
Real materials are disordered. This disorder influences the properties of these materials and the chemical processes that occur at their interfaces. Gaining a molecular-level understanding of the underlying physical manifestations caused by disordered materials is crucial to unraveling and ultimately controlling the efficiency and performance of these materials in a range of energy-related devices. This understanding necessitates measurement techniques through which disorder can be detected, quantified, and monitored. However, such quantitative measurements are notoriously difficult, as effects often average out in ensemble measurements. In this work, we describe how a combination of electrochemical and spatially resolved surface spectroscopy measurements illuminate a molecular-level picture of disorder in materials. Using amorphous carbon as an intrinsically disordered material, we covalently attached a monolayer of ferrocene. Interfacial electron transfer across the amorphous carbon-ferrocene interface is highly sensitive to disruptions of order. By systematically varying linker properties and surface loadings, the influence of lateral interactions between nonuniformly distributed ferrocene headgroups on ensemble electrochemical measurements is demonstrated. Electrochemical and imaging data collectively indicate that conformational flexibility of the ferrocene moieties provides a mechanism to elude repulsive and unbalanced lateral interactions, while rigid linkages provide direct information about the underlying disorder of the material. This study is the first of its kind to quantify and visualize molecular disorder and heterogeneity with an experimental model accessed through ensemble measurements.

Abstract
A maximization of a direct electron transfer (DET) between redox enzymes and electrodes can be obtained through the oriented immobilization of enzymes onto an electroactive surface. Here, a strategy for obtaining carbon nanotube (CNTs) based electrodes covalently modified with perfectly control-oriented fungal laccases is presented. Modelizations of the laccase-CNT interaction and of electron conduction pathways serve as a guide in choosing grafting positions. Homogeneous populations of alkyne-modified laccases are obtained through the reductive amination of a unique surface-accessible lysine residue selectively engineered near either one or the other of the two copper centers in enzyme variants. Immobilization of the site-specific alkynated enzymes is achieved by copper-catalyzed click reaction on azido-modified CNTs. A highly efficient reduction of O2 at low overpotential and catalytic current densities over -3 mA cm-2 are obtained by minimizing the distance from the electrode surface to the trinuclear cluster.

Abstract
The grafting of molecular monolayers is critical for the functionalization of surfaces. In molecular electrochemistry, the surface modification of electrodes and the way molecules are attached to the electrode surface are highly critical to electron transfers and electrochemical reactions. In this paper, sub-monolayers were covalently grafted onto glassy carbon (GC) electrodes via Diels-Alder cycloaddition with two soluble dienophiles, that is, propargyl bromide and ethynyl ferrocene. Such an approach is clean (no by-product, no catalyst/additive) and occurs under mild conditions by heating at 50 °C in toluene for few hours. The as-modified electrodes were thoroughly characterized by FTIR, XPS, and cyclic voltammetry using both millimetric GC electrodes and ultra-microelectrodes. Cyclic voltammetry gave access to surface coverage and clearly evidenced the covalent grafting of sub-monolayers. The grafting of functional sub-monolayers via Diels-Alder cycloaddition could be easily extended to various functionalities and carbons to prepare electrochemical sensors or electrocatalytic surfaces.

Abstract
The antioxidant protective properties of polyaromatic organic layers were evaluated toward reactive oxygen species (ROS) using scanning electrochemical microscopy in a foot-printing strategy. The layers were prepared by electrografting of aryldiazonium salts. Where p-(methyl)phenyl films show only weak protective properties toward ROS, p-(ethynyl)phenyl films evidence efficient protection of the covered surfaces. Applied potentials and electrolytes used during oxygen reduction reaction are critical parameters to control, prevent, or reduce the influence of ROS production and hence enhance the device lifetime.

In the last few decades, much attention has focused on the development of nonprecious metal-based catalysts and, in more recent years, their integration in solid-state support materials and devices that operate in water. This review surveys the literature on 3d metal-based molecular catalysts and focuses on their immobilization on heterogeneous solid-state supports for electro-, photo-, and photoelectrocatalytic synthesis of fuels in aqueous media. The first sections highlight benchmark homogeneous systems using proton and CO2 reducing 3d transition metal catalysts as well as commonly employed methods for catalyst immobilization, including a discussion of supporting materials and anchoring groups. The subsequent sections elaborate on productive associations between molecular catalysts and a wide range of substrates based on carbon, quantum dots, metal oxide surfaces, and semiconductors. The molecule-material hybrid systems are organized as "dark" cathodes, colloidal photocatalysts, and photocathodes, and their figures of merit are discussed alongside system stability and catalyst integrity. The final section extends the scope of this review to prospects and challenges in targeting catalysis beyond "classical" H2 evolution and CO2 reduction to C1 products, by summarizing cases for higher-value products from N2 reduction, C x>1 products from CO2 utilization, and other reductive organic transformations.

Abstract
Postfunctionalization of glassy carbon electrodes previously modified by reduction of 4-azidobenzenediazonium was exploited to conveniently synthesize controlled mixed organic layers. Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition was used to anchor functional entities to azide platform. By this way, ((4-ethynylphenyl)carbamoyl)ferrocene (ϕ-Fc) was coimmobilized with a set of acetylene derivatives: 1-ethynyl-4-nitrobenzene (ϕ-NO2), 4-ethynylaniline (ϕ-NH2) or ethylnylbenzene (ϕ). The composition of the resulting organic layers was tuned by adjusting the acetylene derivatives ratio in the postfunctionalization binary solution. Electronic properties of the substituents beared by the aromatic rings were found to have a strong impact on the cycloaddition kinetics toward the confined azide moieties. From this study, rules to prepare finely tuned bifunctional organic layers can be anticipated.

Abstract
DNA sequences are widely used for gene transfer into cells including a number of substrate surface-based supporting systems, but due to its singular structure property profile, DNA also offers multiple options for noncanonical applications. The special case of using DNA and oligodeoxyribonucleotide (ODN) structures for surface functionalization of biomedical implants is summarized here with the major focus on (a) immobilization or anchoring of nucleic acid structures on substrate surfaces, (b) incorporation of biologically active molecules (BAM) into such systems, and (c) biological characteristics of the resulting surfaces in vitro and in vivo. Sterilizations issues, important for potential clinical applications, are also considered.

Abstract
An on-surface isothermal helicase-dependent amplification is devised for simple, point-of-need quantification of bacterial genomes. The method relies on the enzyme-extension of a thiol-modified reverse primer anchored to indium tin oxide electrodes, which shows strikingly high thermal and storage stability. Amplification and electrochemical detection of only 10 genomes are thus performed on the same platform without thermal cycling.

Abstract
The straightforward coupling between a triazolinedione (TAD) unit and citronellyl derivatives via an Alder-ene reaction has been exploited to tailor the physicochemical surface properties of glassy carbon (GC) surfaces in an ultrafast and additive-free manner. For this purpose, we first covalently grafted a TAD precursor onto GC via electrochemical reduction of an in situ generated diazonium salt, which was then electrochemically oxidized into the desired GC-bonded TAD unit. A kinetic study of the modification of this reactive layer with an electroactive ferrocene probe proved that a complete functionalization was obtained in merely 1 minute. Further modification experiments with a fluorinated probe demonstrated that the surface properties can be swiftly tailored on demand. The different modification steps, as well as the efficiency of this strategy, were investigated by electrochemistry, contact angle goniometry, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis.

Abstract
Herein, we report the covalent functionalization of graphene oxide (GO) through ‘‘click’’ reaction and its applications towards ammonia sensing. This inimitable method of covalent functionalization involves linking GO with azide moiety and click coupling of different derivatives of aryl propargyl ether, which enhances the sensitivity towards ammonia. The functionalized GO were characterized using NMR, XRD, SEM, FT-IR, Raman, UV-Vis, TGA and DSC. Compared to pristine GO, the GO functionalized with Ar samples (GO-Ar) exhibit excellent room temperature ammonia sensing properties with good response/recovery characteristics. It has been observed that 2,3-difluoro and 2,3,4-trifluoro substituted aryl propargyl ether functionalized GO (GO-Ar2 and GO-Ar3) shows superior ammonia sensing with response/recovery of 63%/∼90% and 60%/100%, respectively at 20 ppm. The GO-Ar3 exhibits high sensitivity towards ammonia at 20–100 ppm. Computational studies supports the high sensitivity of GO-Ar towards ammonia due to its high adsorption energy. Covalent functionalization of graphene oxide (GO) through ‘‘click’’ reaction and its applications towards ammonia sensing has been demonstrated.![]()

Abstract
A majority of the reported electrografting of aryldiazonium salts result in the formation of covalently attached films with a limited surface coverage of below 5 nmol·cm-2. Herein, we report the preparation of higher-thickness redox-active viologen-grafted electrodes from the electroreduction of viologen phenyl diazonium salts, by either cyclic voltammetric (CV) sweeps or electrolysis using a fixed potential. Both of the methodologies were successfully applied for various conductive surfaces, including glassy carbon (GC), gold disc, indium tin oxide glass, mesoporous TiO2 electrodes, and 3D compacted carbon fibers. A robust maximal viologen coverage, Γviologen = 9.5 nmol·cm-2, was achieved on a GC electrode by CV electroreduction. Electroreduction held at a fixed potential at Eappl. = -0.3 V can fabricate viologen-grafted electrodes with Γviologen in the range of 0-37 nmol·cm-2 in a controllable way, by simply adjusting the electrodeposition time tappl.. Time-dependent Γviologen were found to be 10 nmol·cm-2@2 min, 20 nmol·cm-2@4.2 min, and 30 nmol·cm-2@7 min. Furthermore, a TiO2 electrode coupled with Γviologen of 140 nmol·cm-2 exhibited electrochromic performance, with the color changing from pale yellow to blue and red brown.

Abstract
The emergence of personalized and stratified medicine requires label-free, low-cost diagnostic technology capable of monitoring multiple disease biomarkers in parallel. Silicon photonic biosensors combine high-sensitivity analysis with scalable, low-cost manufacturing, but they tend to measure only a single biomarker and provide no information about their (bio)chemical activity. Here we introduce an electrochemical silicon photonic sensor capable of highly sensitive and multiparameter profiling of biomarkers. Our electrophotonic technology consists of microring resonators optimally n-doped to support high Q resonances alongside electrochemical processes in situ. The inclusion of electrochemical control enables site-selective immobilization of different biomolecules on individual microrings within a sensor array. The combination of photonic and electrochemical characterization also provides additional quantitative information and unique insight into chemical reactivity that is unavailable with photonic detection alone. By exploiting both the photonic and the electrical properties of silicon, the sensor opens new modalities for sensing on the microscale. A label-free and low-cost sensor capable of detecting several biomarkers in parallel is a sought-after medical tool. Here, the authors describe an approach exploiting both photonic and electrochemical properties of silicon to build a multi-domain biosensor for label-free and multiplexed detection.

Abstract
Multitarget biosensors hold great promise to improve point-of-care diagnostics as they enable simultaneous detection of different biomolecular markers. Multiplexed detection of different markers, like genes, proteins, or a combination of both, propels advancement in numerous fields such as genomics, medical diagnosis and therapy monitoring. The functionalization of these biosensors, however, necessitates patterned immobilization of different bioreceptors, which remains challenging and time-consuming. We demonstrate a simple method for the patterned multiplexing of bioreceptors on a multi-electrode chip. By using the lithographically defined electrodes for surface functionalization, additional patterning steps become obsolete. Using the electrodes for self-aligned immobilization provides a spatial resolution that is limited by the electrode patterning process and that cannot be easily obtained by alternative dispensing or coating techniques. Via electrochemical reduction of diazonium salts combined with click chemistry, we achieved site-specific immobilization of two different ssDNA probes side by side on a single chip. This method was experimentally verified by cyclic voltammetry (CV), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and specific target recognition was visualized by fluorescence microscopy. The combination of the electroaddressability of electrografting with the chemoselectivity of click chemistry, offers a versatile platform for highly efficient site-specific functionalization of multitarget biosensors.

Abstract
Improving graphene-based electrode fabrication processes and developing robust methods for its functionalization are two key research routes to develop new high-performance electrodes for electrochemical applications. Here, a self-organized three-dimensional (3D) graphene electrode processed by pulsed laser deposition with thermal annealing is reported. This substrate shows great performance in electron transfer kinetics regarding ferrocene redox probes in solution. A robust electrografting strategy for covalently attaching a redox probe onto these graphene electrodes is also reported. The modification protocol consists of a combination of diazonium salt electrografting and click chemistry. An alkyne-terminated phenyl ring is first electrografted onto the self-organized 3D graphene electrode by in situ electrochemical reduction of 4-ethynylphenyl diazonium. Then the ethynylphenyl-modified surface efficiently reacts with the redox probe bearing a terminal azide moiety (2-azidoethyl ferrocene) by means of Cu(I)-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition. Our modification strategy applied to 3D graphene electrodes was analyzed by means of atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). For XPS chemical surface analysis, special attention was paid to the distribution and chemical state of iron and nitrogen in order to highlight the functionalization of the graphene-based substrate by electrochemically grafting a ferrocene derivative. Dense grafting was observed, offering 4.9 × 10(-10) mol cm(-2) surface coverage and showing a stable signal over 22 days. The electrografting was performed in the form of multilayers, which offers higher ferrocene loading than a dense monolayer on a flat surface. This work opens highly promising perspectives for the development of self-organized 3D graphene electrodes with various sensing functionalities.

Abstract
Nanometer-scale multilayered coatings were prepared by sequential surface reactions on gold plates. First 4-ethynylphenyl organic layer was electrografted from the parent diazonium tetrafluoroborate salt providing reactive alkynylated gold plate (Au-Y). The latter served for clicking mercaptosilane via a thiol-yne photo-triggered reaction to obtain alkoxysilane-functionalized surface. The trialkoxysilane top groups in turn served as anchor sites for the final sol-gel coating resulting from the surface reaction between aminopropylsilane and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS). It is demonstrated that two coupling agents, namely, aryl diazonium salt and silane, can be coupled using photo-triggered thiol-yne click reaction, resulting in robust multilayered coatings. In addition, the process is versatile in that it offers the possibility to design patterned surfaces. The top sol-gel layer can in turn be reacted with aminosilane, therefore providing a reactive and functional surface that can be used for different applications given the reactivity of amine groups. This approach opens new avenues for photo-triggered click reactions of aryl layers from diazonium salts. It shows that the new class of surface modifiers and coupling agents has much to offer and continues to be renewed for achieving tightly bound, reactive top coatings.
