Abstract
Graphitic pencil leads (PLs) are inexpensive writing accessories, readily available in stationery shops. Because the round filaments have high conductivity, they are excellent candidates for sustainable electroanalytical sensor fabrication. Here, we show that dip-coated carbon nanotube (CNT) surface deposits can stably enhance the faradaic redox response of cylindrical pencil lead electrodes (PLEs), with just ten simple sequential immersions of assembled PLEs in an aqueous suspension of CNTs producing significant improvement in their analytical performance. Cyclic (CV) and differential pulse (DPV) voltammetry of ferricyanide with unmodified and CNT-modified PLEs confirmed the reproducibility of the modification procedure and the reliability of the extent of signal amplification, as well as the stability of the response. A series of DPV tests with drugs, an environmental pollutant, an enzyme-substrate redox label and an industrial chemical proved the practical applicability of the proposed CNT-PLEs. Based on their observed properties, PLEs with dip-coated CNT deposits are suggested as cost-effective tools for advanced electroanalysis and as green platforms for enzyme biosensor construction.

Abstract
Electropolymerized thionine was used as a redox-active polymer to create a two-mediated microbial biosensor for determining biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). The electrochemical characteristics of the conducting system were studied by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. It has been shown that the most promising in terms of the rate of interaction with the yeast B. adeninivorans is the system based on poly(thionine), single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT), and neutral red (kint = 0.071 dm3/(g·s)). The biosensor based on this system is characterized by high sensitivity (the lower limit of determined BOD concentrations is 0.4 mgO2/dm3). Sample analysis by means of the developed analytical system showed that the results of the standard dilution method and those using the biosensor differed insignificantly. Thus, for the first time, the fundamental possibility of effectively using nanocomposite materials based on SWCNT and the redox-active polymer poly(thionine) as one of the components of two-mediator systems for electron transfer from yeast microorganisms to the electrode has been shown. It opens up prospects for creating stable and highly sensitive electrochemical systems based on eukaryotes.

Abstract
Electropolymerized neutral red, thionine, and aniline were used as part of hybrid nanocomposite conductive polymers, to create an amperometric reagent-less biosensor for glucose determination. The structure of the obtained polymers was studied using infrared (IR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Electrochemical characteristics were studied by cyclic voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy. It was shown that, from the point of view of both the rate of electron transfer to the electrode, and the rate of interaction with the active center of glucose oxidase (GOx), the most promising is a new nanocomposite based on poly(neutral red) (pNR) and thermally expanded graphite (TEG). The sensor based on the created nanocomposite material is characterized by a sensitivity of 1000 ± 200 nA × dm3/mmol; the lower limit of the determined glucose concentrations is 0.006 mmol/L. The glucose biosensor based on this nanocomposite was characterized by a high correlation (R2 = 0.9828) with the results of determining the glucose content in human blood using the standard method. Statistical analysis did not reveal any deviations of the results obtained using this biosensor and the reference method. Therefore, the developed biosensor can be used as an alternative to the standard analysis method and as a prototype for creating sensitive and accurate glucometers, as well as biosensors to assess other metabolites.

Abstract
A very simple, as well as sensitive and selective, sensing protocol was developed on a pre-anodized graphite pencil electrode surface coated using poly(thionine) (APGE/PTH). The poly(thionine) coated graphite pencil was then used for simultaneous sensing of 3-nitrophenol (3-NP) and 4-nitrophenol (4-NP). The poly(thionine) coated electrode exhibited an enhanced electrocatalytic property towards nitrophenol (3-NP and 4-NP) reduction. Redox peak potential and current of both nitrophenols were found well resolved and their simultaneous analysis was studied. Under optimized experimental conditions, APGE/PTH showed a long linear concentration range from 20 to 230 nM and 15 nM to 280 nM with a calculated limit of detection (LOD) of 4.5 and 4 nM and a sensitivity of 22.45 µA/nM and 27.12 µA/nM for 3-NP and 4-NP, respectively. Real sample analysis using the prepared sensor was tested with different environmental water samples and the sensors exhibited excellent recovery results in the range from 98.16 to 103.43%. Finally, the sensor exposed an promising selectivity, stability, and reproducibility towards sensing of 3-NP and 4-NP.

Abstract
An ultra-sensitive sensor of dopamine is introduced. The sensor is constructed by encapsulating platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) between reduced graphene oxide (GR) nanosheets. The sandwiched PtNPs between GR layers acted as a spacer to prevent aggregation and provided a fine connection between the GR nanosheets to provide fast charge transfer. This specific orientation of the GR nanosheets and PtNPs on the graphite pencil electrode (GPE) substantially improved the electrocatalytic activity of the sensor. The synthesized graphene oxide and the fabricated sensor were comprehensively characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and square wave voltammetry (SWV). The value of the charge transfer coefficient (α), apparent heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant (ks), and electroactive surface area for dopamine were found to be about 0.57, 8.99 s−1, and 0.81 cm2, respectively. The developed sensor is highly sensitive towards dopamine, and the detection limit is 9.0 nM. The sensor response is linear for dopamine concentration from 0.06 to 20 μM (R2 = 0.9991). The behavior of the sensor for dopamine in the presence of a high concentration of l(+) Ascorbic acid and other potential interferents was satisfactory. High recovery percentage between 90% and 105% in the human urine sample, good reproducibility, and facile fabrication of the electrode make it a good candidate for dopamine sensing. An efficient, highly sensitive, and selective electrochemical sensor using PtNPs sandwiched graphene layered modified graphite pencil electrode.![]()

Abstract
In recent years, an increasing number of studies has demonstrated that redox polymers can be used in simple and effective electrochemical sensing platforms due to their fast electron transfer and electrocatalytic ability. To develop more sensitive and selective electrochemical (bio)sensors, the electrocatalytic properties of redox polymers and the electrical, mechanical, and catalytic properties of various nanomaterials are combined. This review aims to summarize and contribute to the development of (bio)sensors based on polyphenazine or polytriphenylmethane redox polymers combined with nanomaterials, including carbon-based nanomaterials, metal/metal oxide, and semiconductor nanoparticles. The synthesis, preparation, and modification of these nanocomposites is presented and the contribution of each material to the performance of (bio)sensor has been be examined. It is explained how the combined use of these redox polymers and nanomaterials as a sensing platform leads to improved analytical performance of the (bio)sensors. Finally, the analytical performance characteristics and practical applications of polyphenazine and polytriphenylmethane redox polymer/nanomaterial-based electrochemical (bio)sensors are compared and discussed.

Abstract
This work highlights the protocol employed for the simultaneous electroanalysis of tryptamine, serotonin and dopamine using a conducting poly-murexide-based electrode. To date, this is the first-of-its-kind report of simultaneous electrochemical determination of these three targets. Features of the developed electrode were identified by employing FE-SEM analysis. Under optimized conditions, the analytes underwent an irreversible electro-oxidation at the modified electrode surface, with a linear range of 0.5-40 μΜ, 0.4-40.4 μΜ and 0.5-40 μΜ for dopamine, serotonin and tryptamine, respectively. The electrolytic medium employed for the sensing was a phosphate-buffered solution with pH 7. The specificity of the developed electrode was also satisfactory in the presence of other biomolecules including L-phenylalanine, L-serine, glucose and ascorbic acid. Thus, the developed murexide-derived conducting-polymer-based electrode was used for the simultaneous sensing of the neurochemicals dopamine, serotonin and tryptamine. Electroanalysis was also demonstrated for these targets in human serum.
