Abstract
Continuously growing adoption of electronic devices in energy storage, human health and environmental monitoring systems increases demand for cost-effective, lightweight, comfortable, and highly efficient functional structures. In this regard, the recycling and reuse of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste in the aforementioned fields due to its excellent mechanical properties and chemical resistance is an effective solution to reduce plastic waste. Herein, we review recent advances in synthesis procedures and research studies on the integration of PET into energy storage (Li-ion batteries) and the detection of gaseous and biological species. The operating principles of such systems are described and the role of recycled PET for various types of architectures is discussed. Modifying the composition, crystallinity, surface porosity, and polar surface functional groups of PET are important factors for tuning its features as the active or substrate material in biological and gas sensors. The findings indicate that conceptually new pathways to the study are opened up for the effective application of recycled PET in the design of Li-ion batteries, as well as biochemical and catalytic detection systems. The current challenges in these fields are also presented with perspectives on the opportunities that may enable a circular economy in PET use.

Abstract
The detection of ascorbic acid (AA), dopamine (DA), and uric acid (UA) is crucial for understanding and managing various illnesses. In this research, Pt@g-C3N4 nanoparticles were synthesized via hydrothermal method and combined with N-doped carbon nanotubes (N-CNTs). The Pt@g-C3N4/N-CNTs-modified glassy carbon (GC) electrode was fabricated as an electrochemical sensor for the determination of AA, DA, and UA. The linear response range of AA, DA, and UA in the optimal condition was 100-3,000 μM, 1-100 μM, and 2-215 μM boasting a low detection limit (S/N = 3) of 29.44 μM (AA), 0.21 μM (UA), and 2.99 μM (DA), respectively. Additionally, the recoveries of AA, DA, and UA in serum sample were 100.4%-106.7%. These results corroborate the feasibility of the proposed method for the simultaneous, sensitive, and reliable detection of AA, DA, and UA. Our Pt@g-C3N4/N-CNTs/GC electrode can provide a potential strategy for disease diagnosis and health monitoring in clinical settings.

Abstract
One of the major challenges for in vivo electrochemical measurements of dopamine (DA) is to achieve selectivity in the presence of interferents, such as ascorbic acid (AA) and uric acid (UA). Complicated multimaterial structures and ill-defined pretreatments have been frequently utilized to enhance selectivity. The lack of control over the realized structures has prevented establishing associations between the achieved selectivity and the electrode structure. Owing to their easily tailorable structure, carbon nanofiber (CNF) electrodes have become promising materials for neurobiological applications. Here, a novel yet simple strategy to control the sensitivity and selectivity of CNF electrodes toward DA is reported. It consists of adjusting the lengths of CNF by modulating the growth phase during the fabrication process while keeping the surface chemistries similar. It was observed that the sensitivity of the CNF electrodes toward DA was enhanced with the increase in the fiber lengths. More importantly, the increase in the fiber length induced (i) an anodic shift in the DA oxidation peak and (ii) a cathodic shift in the AA oxidation peak. As the UA oxidation peak remained unaffected at high anodic potentials, the electrodes with long CNFs showed excellent selectivity. Electrodes without proper fibers showed only a single broad peak in the solution of AA, DA, and UA, completely lacking the ability to discriminate DA. Hence, the simple strategy of controlling CNF length without the need to carry out any complex chemical treatments provides us a feasible and robust route to fabricate electrode materials for neurotransmitter detection with excellent sensitivity and selectivity.

Rapid and selective detection of dopamine in human serum using an electrochemical sensor based on zinc oxide nanoparticles, nickel phthalocyanines, and carbon nanotubes. Biosens Bioelectron 2022; 210:114211.

Abstract
Composite materials have gained significant attention owing to the synergistic effects of their constituent materials, thereby facilitating their utilization in new applications or in improving the existing ones. In this study, a composite based on nickel phthalocyanine (NiTsPc), zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs), and carbon nanotubes (CNT) was developed and subsequently immobilized on a pyrolytic graphite electrode (PGE). The PGE/NiTsPc-ZnONPs-CNT was identified as a selective catalytic hybrid system for detection of neurotransmitter dopamine (DA). The electrochemical and morphological characterizations were conducted using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Chronoamperometry and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) were used to detect DA and detection limits of 24 nM and 7.0 nM was found, respectively. In addition, the effects of some possible DA interferents, such as ascorbic acid, uric acid, and serotonin, on DA response were evaluated. Their presence did not show significant variations in the DA electrochemical response. The high specificity and sensitivity of PGE/NiTsPc-ZnONPs-CNT for DA enabled its direct detection in human serum without sample pretreatment as well as in DA-enriched serum samples, whose recovery levels were close to 100%, thereby confirming the effectiveness of the proposed method. In general, PGE/NiTsPc-ZnONPs-CNT is a promising candidate for future applications in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Design and synthesis of an efficient electrocatalyst for simultaneous determination of gallic acid (GA) and uric acid (UA) is vital in the biological field. Herein, we synthesized a new p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene-based metal-organic electrocatalyst (Mn-L@MC) by combining Mn-L (H4L = tetrakis[(2-biphenylcarboxyl)oxy]-p-tertbutylcalix[4]arene) and mesoporous carbon (MC) via a simple mechanical grinding method. Synergistic effect between Mn-L and MC made the Mn-L@MC composite behave high-efficiency electrocatalytic performance toward simultaneous detection of GA and UA. Under optimal experimental conditions, the Mn-L@MC-2 electrode material featured relatively wide linear range (0.5-90 µM) for the two analytes, and low determination limits of 0.043 µM for GA and 0.059 µM for UA. The remarkable electrochemical detection behavior of Mn-L@MC-2 electrode material toward GA and UA are comparable to those known sensors containing precious metals. The Mn-L@MC-2 material exhibited high selectivity, superior reproducibility, and acceptable stability during the determination of the two analytes. The sensor was assembled to simultaneously detect GA and UA in healthy human urine with satisfactory recoveries.
