Abstract
Sensors play vital roles in industry and healthcare due to the significance of controlling the presence of different substances in industrial processes, human organs, and the environment. Electrochemical sensors have gained more attention recently than conventional sensors, including optical fibers, chromatography devices, and chemiresistors, due to their better versatility, higher sensitivity and selectivity, and lower complexity. Herein, we review transition metal carbides (TMCs) and transition metal oxides (TMOs) as outstanding materials for electrochemical sensors. We navigate through the fabrication processes of TMCs and TMOs and reveal the relationships among their synthesis processes, morphological structures, and sensing performance. The state-of-the-art biological, gas, and hydrogen peroxide electrochemical sensors based on TMCs and TMOs are reviewed, and potential challenges in the field are suggested. This review can help others to understand recent advancements in electrochemical sensors based on transition metal oxides and carbides.

Abstract
The fabrication of electroactive nanostructures with high electron concentration and specific electron transport is crucial for electrochemical sensing. In this study, a plasmon-enhanced electrochemical sensor has been developed for the detection of extracellular hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) from cancer cells, utilizing Pd-tipped Au nanobipyramids (PTA NBPs) as the electrocatalysts. Plasmonic PTA NBPs were synthesized by depositing Pd nanoparticles onto the tips of Au nanobipyramids (Au NBPs). Under excitation of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), the PTA NBPs generate high-energy electron-hole pairs (e-/h+) on their surface. The generated electrons (e-) significantly enhance the electrochemical reduction of H2O2. Based on this, a plasmon-enhanced H2O2 electrochemical sensor is constructed with high sensitivity (986.57 μA mM-1 cm-2), low detection limit (0.02 μM), wide linear range (0.1 μM to 980 μM), and good stability and repeatability. Moreover, this sensor also enables the measurement of extracellular H2O2 derived from cancer cells (MCF-7), highlighting its potential applications in cellular biology and biomedical research.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) involving superoxide anion, hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radical play important role in human health. ROS are known to be the markers of oxidative stress associated with different pathologies including neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases, as well as cancer. Accordingly, ROS level detection in biological systems is an essential problem for biomedical and analytical research. Electrochemical methods seem to have promising prospects in ROS determination due to their high sensitivity, rapidity, and simple equipment. This review demonstrates application of modern electrochemical sensors for ROS detection in biological objects (e.g., cell lines and body fluids) over a decade between 2011 and 2021. Particular attention is paid to sensors materials and various types of modifiers for ROS selective detection. Moreover, the sensors comparative characteristics, their main advantages, disadvantages and their possibilities and limitations are discussed.

Abstract
In this study, commercially available molybdenum carbide (Mo2C) was used, in the presence of H2O2, as an efficient pre-catalyst for the selective C-H allylic oxygenation of several unsaturated molecules into the corresponding allylic alcohols. Under these basic conditions, an air-stable, molybdenum-based polyoxometalate cluster (Mo-POM) was formed in situ, leading to the generation of singlet oxygen (1O2), which is responsible for the oxygenation reactions. X-ray diffraction, SEM/EDX and HRMS analyses support the formation mainly of the Mo6O192− cluster. Following the proposed procedure, a series of cycloalkenes, styrenes, terpenoids and methyl oleate were successfully transformed into hydroperoxides. After subsequent reduction, the corresponding allylic alcohols were produced with good yields and in lab-scale quantities. A mechanistic study excluded a hydrogen atom transfer pathway and supported the twix-selective oxygenation of cycloalkenes on the more sterically hindered side via the 1O2 generation.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysis is mainly focused on its dispersed high-density catalytic sites, but delicate designs to realize a unique catalysis mechanism in terms of target reactions have been much less investigated. Herein an iron single atomic site catalyst anchored on 2-D N-doping graphene (Fe-SASC/G) was synthesized and further employed as a biomimetic sensor to electrochemically detect hydrogen peroxide, showing an extremely high sensitivity of 3214.28 μA mM-1 cm-2, which is much higher than that (6.5 μA mM-1 cm-2) of its dispersed on 1-D carbon nanowires (Fe-SASC/NW), ranking the best sensitivity among all reported Fe based catalyst at present. The sensor was also used to successfully in situ monitor H2O2 released from A549 living cells. The mechanism was further systematically investigated. Results interestingly indicate that the distance between adjacent single Fe atomic catalytic sites on 2-D graphene of Fe-SASC/G matches statistically well with the outer length of bioxygen of H2O2 to promote a bridge adsorption of -O-O- for simultaneous 2-electron transfer, while the single Fe atoms anchored on distant 1-D nanowires in Fe-SASC/NW only allow an end-adsorption of oxygen atoms for 1-electron transfer. These results demonstrate that Fe-SASC/G holds great promise as an advanced electrode material in selective and sensitive biomimetic sensor and other electrocatalytic applications, while offering scientific insights in deeper single atomic catalysis mechanisms, especially the effects of substrate dimensions on the mechanism.

Bimetallic MOFs-derived coral-like Ag-Mo 2C/C interwoven nanorods for amperometric detection of hydrogen peroxide. Mikrochim Acta 2021; 188:234.

Abstract
Coral-like Ag-Mo2C/C-I and blocky Ag-Mo2C/C-II composites were obtained from one-step in situ calcination of [Ag(HL)3(Mo8O26)]n·nH2O [L: N-(pyridin-3-ylmethyl) pyridine-2-amine] under N2/H2 and N2 atmospheres, respectively. The coral-like morphology of Ag-Mo2C/C-I is composed of interwoven nanorods embedded with small particles, and the nano-aggregate of Ag-Mo2C/C-II is formed by cross-linkage of irregular nanoparticles. The above composites are decorated on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) drop by drop to generate two enzyme-free electrochemical sensors (Ag-Mo2C/C/GCE) for amperometric detection of H2O2. In particular, the coral-like Ag-Mo2C/C-I/GCE sensor possesses rapid response (1.2 s), high sensitivity (466.2 μA·mM-1·cm-2), and low detection limit (25 nM) towards trace H2O2 and has wide linear range (0.08 μM~4.67 mM) and good stability. All these sensing performances are superior to Ag-Mo2C/C-II/GCE, indicating that the calcining atmosphere has an important influence on microstructure and electrochemical properties. The excellent electrochemical H2O2 sensing performance of Ag-Mo2C/C-I/GCE sensor is mainly attributed to the synergism of unique microstructure, platinum-like electron structure of Mo2C, strong interaction between Mo and Ag, as well as the increased active sites and conductivity caused by co-doped Ag and carbon. Furthermore, this sensor has been successfully applied to the detection of H2O2 in human serum sample, contact lens solution, and commercial disinfector, demonstrating the potential in related fields of environment and biology.

Abstract
Transition metal carbides are attracting growing attention as robust and affordable alternative heterogeneous catalysts to platinum group metals, for a host of contemporary and established hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, and isomerisation reactions. In particular, the metastable α-MoC1-x phase has been shown to exhibit interesting catalytic properties for low temperature processes reliant on O-H and C-H bond activation. While demonstrating exciting catalytic properties, a significant challenge exists in the application of metastable carbides, namely the challenging procedure for their preparation. In this review we will briefly discuss the properties and catalytic applications of α-MoC1-x, followed by a more detailed discussion on available synthesis methods and important parameters that influence carbide properties. Techniques are contrasted with properties of phase, surface area, morphology and Mo:C being considered. Further, we briefly relate these observations to experimental and theoretical studies of α-MoC1-x in catalytic applications. Synthetic strategies discussed are, the original temperature programmed ammonolysis followed by carburisation, alternative oxycarbide or hydrogen bronze precursor phases, heat treatment of moybdate-amide compounds and other low temperature synthetic routes. The importance of carbon removal and catalyst passivation in relation to surface and bulk properties are also discussed. Novel techniques that by-pass the apparent bottle neck of ammonolysis are reported, however a clear understanding of intermediate phases is required to be able to fully apply these techniques. Pragmatically, the scaled application of these techniques requires the pre-pyrolysis wet chemistry to be simple and scalable. Further, there is a clear opportunity to correlate observed morphologies/phases and catalytic properties with findings from computational theoretical studies. Detailed characterisation throughout the synthetic process is essential and will undoubtedly provide fundamental insights that can be used for the controllable and scalable synthesis of metastable α-MoC1-x.
