Laser Scribing Turns Plastic Waste into a Biosensor via the Restructuration of Nanocarbon Composites for Noninvasive Dopamine Detection. BIOSENSORS 2023; 13:810. [PMID: 37622896 PMCID: PMC10452382 DOI: 10.3390/bios13080810] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2023] [Revised: 08/08/2023] [Accepted: 08/10/2023] [Indexed: 08/26/2023]
Abstract
The development of affordable and compact noninvasive point-of-care (POC) dopamine biosensors for the next generation is currently a major and challenging problem. In this context, a highly sensitive, selective, and low-cost sensing probe is developed by a simple one-step laser-scribing process of plastic waste. A flexible POC device is developed as a prototype and shows a highly specific response to dopamine in the real sample (urine) as low as 100 pmol/L in a broad linear range of 10-10-10-4 mol/L. The 3D topological feature, carrier kinetics, and surface chemistry are found to improve with the formation of high-density metal-embedded graphene-foam composite driven by laser irradiation on the plastic-waste surface. The development of various kinds of flexible and tunable biosensors by plastic waste is now possible thanks to the success of this simple, but effective, laser-scribing technique, which is capable of modifying the matrix's electronic and chemical composition.

Abstract
In the quest for designing affordable diagnostic devices with high performance, precisely functionalized carbon-based materials with high accuracy and selectivity are required. Every material has its own unique ability to interact with the analyte, and its performance can be enhanced by probing the interaction mechanism. Herein, p-aminophenol (PAP)-functionalized reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanoscale material is developed by a one-step synthetic route as an all-organic-based sensor. As the PAP molecules are precisely covalently interacted with the rGO at the basal plane and form a wrinkled-paper-like structure, the functionalized material exhibits an outstanding sensing ability (7.5 nM neurotransmitter dopamine (DA) at a wide linear range, 0.01-100 μM) with fast electrical transduction (<3 s) and good recyclability (∼10 cycles) in a real sample. Combining various analytical and density functional theory (DFT) calculation methods, physicochemical properties and the interaction mechanism of analyte-materials transduction are discussed exclusively. Besides, the potential application of the well-dispersed rGO-PAP gravure ink in flexible-printed electronics fields is explored. This study not only provides new insights into the surface/interface chemistry and working principle of this unique anchoring of PAP on rGO but also offers a new pathway for developing other forms of metal-free/organic functionalized biosensors with high efficiency.

Abstract
Two different electrochemical sensors (Hemin-G4/Au/GCE and Hemin-G4/Au/ITO) were developed and applied to explore the electrocatalytic capacity of H2O2 reduction. Due to the excellent catalytic activity of Hemin-G4 and high conductivity of gold nanoparticles, both electrodes show excellent electrochemical performances towards H2O2 with a low LOD (0.67 μM for Hemin-G4/Au/GCE and 0.65 μM for Hemin-G4/Au/ITO), rapid response (<4 s), and high selectivity and sensitivity (314.33 μA mM-1 cm-2 for Hemin-G4/Au/GCE and 322.22 μA mM-1 cm-2 for Hemin-G4/Au/ITO). The two electrodes allow sensitive capture of H2O2 produced by A549 cells. Compared with the conventional method of detection in cell suspensions, an ITO electrode with a large specific surface area and good biocompatibility can provide a promising platform for cell adhesion, so as to realize real-time and in situ detection of extracellular H2O2. The experimental results show that A549 cells can adhere to the surface of the Hemin-G4/Au/ITO electrode and grow well. This is benefitted from the three-dimensional structure of the Hemin-G4/Au hydrogel, which provides a suitable microenvironment for cell adhesion and growth. Furthermore, the in situ detection shows a faster response time than that of in-solution detection. This is because the H2O2 generated by the cells can be directly captured by the ITO electrode, which avoids diffusion from the solution to the electrode. These results indicate that the self-supporting hydrogel modified ITO electrode has great application prospects in basic biomedical research and continuous dynamic surveillance of diseases.

Abstract
A practical technique was applied to fabricate MoWS2 nanocomposite through a one-pot hydrothermal method for use as the electrocatalyst. The characterization of MoWS2 nanocomposite was investigated by several techniques to identify the size, crystal structure, and elemental composition. MoWS2 nanocomposite exhibited a unique and well-defined hierarchical structure with neatly and densely piled nanopetals acting as the active sites in the electrocatalytic reactions. A carbon screen-printed electrode (CSPE) modified with interesting MoWS2 nanopetals (MoWS2/CSPE) was constructed. Subsequently, the electrochemical oxidation of morphine on fabricated MoWS2/CSPE was studied. Experimental results confirm that under optimized conditions, the maximum oxidation current of morphine occurs at 275 mV in the case of MoWS2/CSPE that is around 100 mV more negative than that observed in the case of the unmodified CSPE and about 2.6 times increase was observed for the oxidation peak current. The analytical approach was obtained by differential pulse voltammetry in accordance with the relationship between the oxidation peak current and the morphine concentration. The oxidation peak currents for morphine were found to vary linearly with its concentrations in the range of 4.8 × 10-8-5.05 × 10-4 M with the detection limit of 1.44 × 10-8 M. Two completely separated signals occured at the potentials of 275 mV and 920 mV for oxidation of morphine and tramadol at the surface of MoWS2/CSPE which are sufficient for determination of morphine in the presence of tramadol. The presence of morphine was also detected in real samples using the introduced approach. Graphical abstract Schematic representation of fabrication of the MoWS2 nanocomposite through a one-pot hydrothermal method for use as the electrocatalyst. A carbon screen-printed electrode was modified with MoWS2 nanocomposite. Subsequently, the electrochemical oxidation of morphine on the fabricated electrode was studied.

Abstract
This review, with 201 references, describes the recent advancement in the application of carbonaceous nanomaterials as highly conductive platforms in electrochemical biosensing. The electrochemical biosensing is described in introduction by classifying biosensors into catalytic-based and affinity-based biosensors and statistically demonstrates the most recent published works in each category. The introduction is followed by sections on electrochemical biosensors configurations and common carbonaceous nanomaterials applied in electrochemical biosensing, including graphene and its derivatives, carbon nanotubes, mesoporous carbon, carbon nanofibers and carbon nanospheres. In the following sections, carbonaceous catalytic-based and affinity-based biosensors are discussed in detail. In the category of catalytic-based biosensors, a comparison between enzymatic biosensors and non-enzymatic electrochemical sensors is carried out. Regarding the affinity-based biosensors, scholarly articles related to biological elements such as antibodies, deoxyribonucleic acids (DNAs) and aptamers are discussed in separate sections. The last section discusses recent advancements in carbonaceous screen-printed electrodes as a growing field in electrochemical biosensing. Tables are presented that give an overview on the diversity of analytes, type of materials and the sensors performance. Ultimately, general considerations, challenges and future perspectives in this field of science are discussed. Recent findings suggest that interests towards 2D nanostructured electrodes based on graphene and its derivatives are still growing in the field of electrochemical biosensing. That is because of their exceptional electrical conductivity, active surface area and more convenient production methods compared to carbon nanotubes. Graphical abstract Schematic representation of carbonaceous nanomaterials used in electrochemical biosensing. The content is classified into non-enzymatic sensors and affinity/ catalytic biosensors. Recent publications are tabulated and compared, considering materials, target, limit of detection and linear range of detection.

Abstract
Well-dispersed and graft-crosslinked gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were synthesized by the reduction of tetrachloroaurate with hydrazine at room temperature. The AuNPs possess a high density of surface defects which is due to grafting of n-octanoic acid to polyvinylpyrrolidone. The physical and chemical properties of the resulting AuNPs were characterized by UV-vis, XRD, TEM/HRTEM, SAED, and XPS, respectively. The modified AuNPs were placed on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) in an electropolymerized taurine layer to obtain a sensitive, selective, stable and rapid electrochemical dopamine sensor. The peak current, typically measured at 0.17 V (vs. SCE), increases linearly in the 1.0 to 120 μM dopamine concentration range, and the limit of detection (at S/N = 3) is 0.16 μM with a sensitivity of 2.94 μA·μM-1·cm-2. The sensor was successfully applied to the determination of dopamine in injections and spiked serum samples. The recoveries from spiked serum samples range from 97.5 to 102.4%, with RSDs ranging between 2.8 and 3.4%. Graphical abstract Schematic representation of a glassy carbon electrode modified with in-situ graft-crosslinked gold nanoparticles combined with an electropolymerized polytaurine membrane. The sensor exhibits excellent features towards dopamine determination.

Abstract
A facile one-step method was used to create a selective and sensitive electrode for dopamine (DA) detection based upon a stainless steel (SS) filament substrate and reduced graphene oxide (rGO). The electrode successfully and selectively detects DA in the presence of uric acid and ascorbic acid without the need for a Nafion coating. The proposed electrode is easy to fabricate, low-cost, flexible, and strong. The rGO-SS electrode could also be incorporated into a three-dimensional braided structure enabling DA detection in a two-electrode fiber system. The sensor is an excellent candidate for production of an affordable, robust, and flexible wearable and portable sensor and expands the application of textiles in point of care diagnostic devices.
