Synthesis of ultrasmall cerium oxide nanoparticles in deep eutectic solvent and their application in an electrochemical sensor to detect dopamine in biological fluid. Mikrochim Acta 2024; 191:425. [PMID: 38926184 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-024-06480-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2024] [Accepted: 06/01/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
A solvothermal synthesis of ultrasmall cerium oxide nanoparticles (USCeOxNPs) with an average size of 0.73 ± 0.07 nm using deep eutectic solvent (DES) as a stabilizing medium at a temperature of 90 ºC is reported. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) were used to morphologically characterize the USCeOxNPs. These revealed approximately spherical shapes with emission lines characteristic of cerium. Selected area electron diffraction (SAED) was used to determine the crystalline structure of the cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2NPs), revealing the presence of crystalline cubic structures. The USCeOxNPs-DES/CB film was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), which demonstrated the spherical characteristic of CB with layers slightly covered by DES residues. DES was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), indicating its formation through hydrogen bonds between the precursors. An electrochemical sensor for dopamine (DA) determination in biological fluids was developed using the USCeOxNPs together with carbon black (CB). An enhanced current response was observed on DA voltammetric determination, and this can be attributed to the USCeOxNPs. This sensor displayed linear responses for DA in the range 5.0 × 10-7 mol L-1 to 3.2 × 10-4 mol L-1, with a limit of detection of 80 nmol L-1. Besides detectability, excellent performances were verified for repeatability and anti-interference. The sensor based on USCeOxNPs synthesized in DES in a simpler and environmentally friendly way was successfully applied to determine DA in biological matrix.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous materials with huge specific surface area and abundant active sites, which are composed of metal ions or clusters and organic ligands in the form of coordination bonds. In recent years, MOFs have been successfully applied in many fields due to their excellent physical, chemical, and biological properties. Electrochemical sensors have advantages such as economy, portability, and sensitivity, making them increasingly valued in the field of sensors. Many studies have shown that the electrode materials will affect the performance of electrochemical sensors. Therefore, the research on electrode materials is still one of the hotspots. MOFs are also commonly used to construct electrochemical sensors. However, electrochemical sensors prepared from single MOFs have shortcomings such as insufficient conductivity, low sensitivity, and poor electrochemical catalytic ability. In order to compensate for these defects, a new type of nanocomposite material with very ideal conductivity was formed by adding metal nanoparticles (MNPs) to MOFs. The combination of the two is expected to be widely applied in the field of sensors. This review summarizes the applications of various MNPs/MOFs composites in the field of electrochemical sensors and provides some references for the development of MNPs/MOFs composites-based electrochemical sensors in the future.

Abstract
Acetaminophen is a widely used analgesic throughout the world. Detection of acetaminophen has particular value in pharmacy and clinics. Electrochemical sensors assembled with advanced materials are an effective method for the rapid detection of acetaminophen. Graphene-based carbon nanomaterials have been extensively investigated for potential analytical applications in the last decade. In this article, we selected papers containing both graphene and acetaminophen. Bibliometrics was used to analyze the relationships and trends among these papers. The results show that the topic has grown at a high rate since 2009. Among them, the detection of acetaminophen by an electrochemical sensor based on graphene is the most important direction. Graphene has moved from being a primary sensing material to a substrate for immobilization of other active ingredients. In addition, the degradation of acetaminophen using graphene-modified electrodes is also an important direction. We analyzed the research history and current status of this topic through bibliometrics. Authors, institutions, countries, and key literature were discussed. We also proposed perspectives for this topic.

Abstract
Rising rates of drug abuse and pharmaceutical pollution throughout the world as a consequence of increased drug production and utilization pose a serious risk to public health and to environmental integrity. It is thus critical that reliable analytical approaches to detecting drugs and their metabolites in a range of sample matrices be developed. Recent advances in the design of nanomaterial-based electrochemical sensors and biosensors have enabled promising new approaches to pharmaceutical analysis. In particular, the development of a range of novel metal nanocomposites with enhanced catalytic properties has provided a wealth of opportunities for the design of rapid and reliable platforms for the detection of specific pharmaceutical compounds. The present review provides a comprehensive overview of representative metal nanocomposites with synergistic properties and their recent (2017-2022) application in the context of electrochemical sensing as a means of detecting specific antibiotic, tuberculostatic, analgesic, antineoplastic, antipsychotic, and antihypertensive drugs. In discussing these applications, we further explore a variety of testing-related principles, fabrication approaches, characterization techniques, and parameters associated with the sensitivity and selectivity of these sensor platforms before surveying the future outlook regarding the fabrication of next-generation (bio)sensor platforms for use in pharmaceutical analysis.

Abstract
In this review, ruthenium nanoparticles (Ru NPs)-based functional nanomaterials have attractive electrocatalytic characteristics and they offer considerable potential in a number of fields. Ru-based binary or multimetallic NPs are widely utilized for electrode modification because of their unique electrocatalytic properties, enhanced surface-area-to-volume ratio, and synergistic effect between two metals provides as an effective improved electrode sensor. This perspective review suggests the current research and development of Ru-based nanomaterials as a platform for electrochemical (EC) sensing of harmful substances, biomolecules, insecticides, pharmaceuticals, and environmental pollutants. The advantages and limitations of mono-, bi-, and multimetallic Ru-based nanocomposites for EC sensors are discussed. Besides, the relevant EC properties and analyte sensing approaches are also presented. On the basis of these insights, we highlighted recent results for synthesizing techniques and EC environmental pollutant sensors from the perspectives of diverse supports, including graphene, carbon nanotubes, silica, semiconductors, metal sulfides, and polymers. Finally, this work overviews the modern improvements in the utilization of Ru-based nanocomposites on the basis for electroanalytical sensors as well as suggestions for the field's future development.

Abstract
AbstractChipset nanosensor design and fabrication are important for healthcare research and development. Herein, a functionalized chipset nanosensor is designed to monitor neurotransmitters (i.e., epinephrine (EP)) in human fluids. An interdigitated electrode array (IDA) is functionalized by N‐doped carbon nanobud (N‐CNB) and N‐doped carbon nanostructure (N‐CNS). The surface morphology of N‐CNB shows the formation of nanotubular‐like branches on sheets and micrometer‐size tubes. The N‐CNS design consists of the formation of aggregated sheets and particles in nanometer size. The irregular shape formation provides surface heterogeneity and numerous free spaces between the stacked nanostructures. N‐atoms ascertain highly active N‐CNS with multifunctional active centers, electron‐rich charged surface, and short distance pathway. The N‐CNB/IDA exhibits the best performance for EP signaling with high sensitivity and selectivity. The N‐CNB/IDA sensing performance for EP detection indicates the successful design of a highly selective and sensitive assay with low detection limit of 0.011 × 10−6 m and a broad linear range of 0.5 × 10−6 to 3 × 10−6 m. The N‐CNB/IDA exhibits a high degree of accuracy and reproducibility with RSD of 2.7% and 3.9%, respectively. Therefore, the chipset nanosensor of N‐CNB/IDA can be used for on‐site monitoring of EP in human serum samples and further used in daily monitoring of neuronal disorders.

Abstract
Follow up of neuronal disorders, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases using simple, sensitive, and selective assays is urgently needed in clinical and research investigation. Here, we designed a sensitive and selective enzymeless electrochemical acetylcholine sensor that can be used in human fluid samples. The designed electrode consisted of a micro spherical construction of Cu-metal decorated by a thin layer of carbon (CuMS@C). A simple and one-pot synthesis approach was used for Cu-metal controller formation with a spherical like structures. The spherical like structure was formed with rough outer surface texture, circular build up, homogeneous formation, micrometric spheres size (0.5 -1 µm), and internal hollow structure. The formation of a thin layer of carbon materials on the surface of CuMS sustained the catalytic activity of Cu atoms and enriched negatively charge of the surface. CuMS@C acted as a highly active mediator surface that consisted of Cu metal as a highly active catalyst and carbons as protecting, charge transport, and attractive surface. Therefore, the CuMS@C surface morphology and composition played a key role in various aspects such as facilitated ACh diffusion/loading, increased the interface surface area, and enhanced the catalytic activity. The CuMS@C acted as an electroactive catalyst for ACh electrooxidation and current production, due to the losing of two electrons. The fabricated CuMS@C could be a highly sensitive and selective enzymeless sensor for detecting ACh with a detection limit of 0.1 µM and a wide linear range of 0.01 - 0.8 mM. The designed ACh sensor assay based on CuMS@C exhibited fast sensing property as well as sensitivity, selectivity, stability, and reusability for detecting ACh in human serum samples. This work presents the design of a highly active electrode surface for direct detection of ACh and further clinical investigation of ACh levels.

Abstract
The surface of graphene was decorated with nickel/nickel oxide/nickel-boron particles to develop high-performance electrochemical sensors. The nanohybrid structures were prepared via a one-step reduction method under an oxygen-rich atmosphere to obtain an oxide phase besides metallic nickel nanoparticles. In addition, the use of NaBH4 as the reducing agent enabled simultaneous formation of Ni-B species on the graphene surface. XRD, XPS, TEM, Raman, and TGA analyses were implemented to characterize the samples. The XRD and XPS results revealed the presence of Ni/NiO/Ni-B on the surface of graphene. The electroanalytical performance of the nanocomposite was investigated against acetaminophen, which is an extensively exploited antipyretic and analgesic drug. The analytical performance results showed that the Ni/NiO/Ni-B/Gr-based sensors had a very wide working window between 10 μM and 2500 μM (y (μA) = 10.706x (mM) + 0.3151 (R2 = 0.9993)). The excellent storage stability, selectivity, and recovery results along with the high analytical performance make the novel Ni/NiO/Ni-B/Gr hybrid systems promising materials for the development of novel sensor platforms.

Abstract
Electrochemical hydrogenation is a challenging technoeconomic process for sustainable liquid fuel production from biomass-derived compounds. In general, half-cell hydrogenation is paired with water oxidation to generate the low economic value of O2 at the anode. Herein, a new strategy for the rational design of Ru/reduced graphene oxide (Ru/RGO) nanocomposites through a cost-effective and straightforward microwave irradiation technique is reported for the first time. The Ru nanoparticles with an average size of 3.5 nm are well anchored into the RGO frameworks with attractive nanostructures to enhance the furfural's paired electrohydrogenation (ECH) and electrooxidation (ECO) process to achieve high-grade biofuel. Furfural is used as a reactant with the paired electrolyzer to produce furfuryl alcohol and 2-methylfuran at the cathode side. Simultaneously, 2-furic acid and 5-hydroxyfuroic acid along with plenty of H+ and e- are generated at the anode side. Most impressively, the paired electrolyzer induces an extraordinary ECH and ECO of furfural, with the desired production of 2-methylfuran (yield = 91% and faradic efficiency (FE) of 95%) at XFF = 97%, outperforming the ECH half-cell reaction. The mechanisms of the half-cell reaction and paired cell reaction are discussed. Exquisite control of the reaction parameters, optimized strategies, and the yield of individual products are demonstrated. These results show that the Ru/RuO nanocomposite is a potential candidate for biofuel production in industrial sectors.

Abstract
Carbon nanomaterials are quite promising to be combined with metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to enhance the sensing ability of both materials. In this work, a MOF nanoparticle of UiO-66-NH2 is integrated with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) (UiO-66-NH2/CNTs) with a facile solvothermal method. The morphology, surface area and properties of this UiO-66-NH2/CNTs nanocomposite was investigated using electron microscopy, XRD, XPS, BET analysis and electrochemical techniques. Catalytic oxidation of dopamine (DA) and acetaminophen (AC) on this nanocomposite was achieved, owing to a 3D hybrid structure or a large electroactive surface area, excellent electrical conductivity, a large number of active sites of this nanocomposite. It was further utilized as a sensing platform to establish an electrochemical sensor for the monitoring of both DA and AC. The enhanced oxidation signals led to the voltametric sensing of DA and AC in a broad linear range from 0.03 to 2.0 μM and low detection limits (S/N = 3) of 15 and 9 nM for DA and AC, respectively. The proposed sensor also possessed good reproducibility, repeatability, long-term stability, selectivity, and satisfactory recovery in serum samples analysis. Therefore, it has the great potential for the accurate quantification of DA and AC in complex matrixes.

One-dimensional nitrogen doped porous carbon nano-array arranged by carbon nanotubes for electrochemical sensing ascorbic acid, dopamine and uric acid simultaneously. NANOTECHNOLOGY 2021; 32:255601.

Abstract
In this work, one-dimensional nitrogen doped porous carbon nano-arrays arranged by carbon nanotube (1D CNTs@NPC) were first constructed, using a coating technology at room temperature and followed by high temperature carbonization. It was expected that the resulting glassy carbon electrodes modified by 1D CNTs@NPC (CNTs@NPC/GCE) could express different electrochemical responses to ascorbic acid (AA), dopamine (DA), uric acid (UA), by virtue of the synergistic-improved effect between CNTs and NPC. Under the optimized conditions, there were excellent analytical parameters for CNTs@NPC/GCE to detect AA, DA and UA, i.e. a wide linear range of 40-2100μM for AA, 0.5-49μM for DA and 3-50μM for AA with low detection limits of 0.36μM, 0.02μmol l-1and 0.57μM respectively. Importantly, the proposed CNTs@NPC/GCE was efficiently applied to determine AA, DA and UA in some real samples with high stability, reproducibility and selectivity. This work will offer an efficient potential for diagnosing ascorbic acid, dopamine or uric acid-related diseases on clinical testing in future.
