Abstract
All over the world, technology is becoming more and more prevalent in agriculture. Different types of instruments are already being used in this sector. For the time being, every farmer is trying to produce more crops on a piece of land. Eventually, soil loses its nutrients; however, to grow more crops, farmers use more fertilizers without knowing the proper conditions of the soil in real time. To overcome this issue, many scientists have recently focused on developing electrochemical sensors to detect macronutrients, i.e., nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), in soil or water rapidly. In this review, we focus mainly on the recent developments in electrochemical sensors used for the detection of nutrients (NPK) in different types of samples. As it is outlined, the use of smart and portable electrochemical sensors can be helpful for the reduction of excess fertilizer and can play a vital role in maintaining suitable conditions in soils and water. We are optimistic that this review can guide researchers in the development of a portable and suitable NPK detection system for soil nutrients.

Enhanced Nitrite Detection by a Carbon Screen Printed Electrode Modified with Photochemically-Made AuNPs. CHEMOSENSORS 2022.

Abstract
Excessive nitrite amounts harm the environment and put public health at high risk. Therefore, accurate and sensitive detection of nitrite in surface and groundwater is mandatory for mitigating its adverse effects. Herein, a highly sensitive electrochemical sensor based on carbon screen-printed electrodes (CSPE) surface-modified with photochemically-made gold nanoparticles (AuNPs, ~12 nm) is proposed for nitrite detection. Scanning electron microscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy show that AuNPs uniformly coat the CSPE, increase its surface area, and contribute to oxidizing nitrite to much lower potential (+0.5 V vs. Ag/AgCl) and faster rate. Under optimized differential pulse voltammetry conditions, the CSPE/AuNPs-PEI electrode responds linearly (R2 > 0.99) to nitrite within a wide concentration range (0.01–4.0 µM), showing a sensitivity of 0.85 µA·µM−1·cm−2 and limit of detection as low as 2.5 nM. The CSPE/AuNPs-PEI electrode successfully detects nitrite in tap water and canned water of olives, showing no influence of those matrices. In addition, the electrode’s response is highly reproducible since a relative standard deviation lower than 10% is observed when the same electrode is operated in five consecutive measurements or when electrodes of different fabrication batches are evaluated.

Abstract
Irregular and unknowingly use of chemical compounds is a serious threat to the environment, human health, and other living organisms attributable and intensified by the growing population and increasing demand for food. Nitrite and nitrate are among those compounds that are widely used in agricultural and industrial products. Therefore on-site, rapid, simple, and accurate monitoring of nitrite/nitrate is highly desirable. In this review, while emphasizing the importance of nitrite and nitrate in food chain safety and health of living organisms, their measurement methods, in particular, nanoplasmonic colorimetric sensors are comprehensively discussed based on the researches in this field. Nanoplasmonic-based sensors have proved to be successful in comparison with traditional methods due to their low cost, biocompatibility, high sensitivity and selectivity, and most importantly, the ability to visually detect and be used on-site to measure nitrite and nitrate. The design principle of nanoplasmonic sensors will be presented into two categories of aggregation- and etching-based detection followed by their applications in nitrite detection. The nitrate measurement will be discussed based on either direct detection of nitrate or indirect strategy in which nitrate is reduced to nitrite by enzymes or metals. Finally, the remaining challenges and prospects in this topic will be described and outlined.

Abstract
Nitrate is one of the most common contaminants in food and the environment and mainly arises from intense human activities. Electrochemical sensors have been considered as one of the most promising analytical tools for the rapid detection of nitrate in food and environmental matrices due to their quick response, high sensitivity, ease of operation and miniaturisation, and low sample and power consumption. In this review, we summarise advances in sensors for electrochemical analysis of nitrate over the past decade. We also discuss the application of electrochemical sensing systems for the determination of nitrate in the matrices of fresh water, seawater, food, soil and particulate matter.

Abstract
New electrochemical synthesis methods were developed to produce copper hydroxy double salt(Cu-HDS) films with four different intercalated anions (NO3-, SO42-, Cl-, and dodecyl sulfate (DS)) as pure crystalline films as deposited (Cu2NO3(OH)3, Cu4SO4(OH)6, Cu2Cl(OH)3, and Cu2DS(OH)3). These methods are based on p-benzoquinone reduction, which increases the local pH at the working electrode and triggers the precipitation of Cu2+ and appropriate anions as Cu-HDS films on the working electrode. The resulting Cu-HDS films could be converted to crystalline Cu(OH)2 and CuO films by immersing them in basic solutions. Because Cu-HDS films were composed of 2D crystals as a result of the atomic-level layered structure of HDS, the CuO films prepared from Cu-HDS films have unique low-dimensional nanostructures, creating high surface areas that cannot be obtained by direct deposition of CuO, which has a 3D atomic-level crystal structure. The resulting nanostructures allowed the CuO films to facilitate electron-hole separation and demonstrate great promise for photocurrent generation when investigated as a photocathode for a water-splitting photoelectrochemical cell. Electrochemical synthesis of Cu-HDS films and their facile conversion to CuO films will provide new routes to tune the morphologies and properties of the CuO electrodes that may not be possible by other synthesis means.

Abstract
Patterned hydrophobic Ni-P alloy films consisting of orderly and regular micro-nanoscale particles were fabricated through the synergistic effect of electrochemical deposition and chemical deposition. Ni-P alloy films were deposited for different times and characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM). It was confirmed that the addition of reducing agent induced the formation of nanoscale particles, in contrast with pure Ni film deposited by single electrochemical deposition. As "point-discharge effect", the current density was higher at the edge of the nanoscale particles, and Ni ions would be deposited at the particles through the "point-discharge effect". Then the Ni-P alloy films grew by "reducing-discharging" process. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to detect the composition and valence states of these alloy films. The existence of oxidation state of element P in these films corresponding to that in H2PO3(-), also gave direct evidence for the occurrence of chemical deposition, during the electrochemical deposition process. The prolongation of deposition time could provide more time for the patterned morphology to grow up. The surface roughness, evaluated by surface profilometer, increased as the deposition time extension. And these films showed gradually increased hydrophobic properties with the increase in deposition time.
