Abstract
Uranyl ions U(VI), are the common by-product of nuclear power plants and anthropogenic activities like mining, excess utilization of fertilizers, oil industries, etc. Its intake into the body causes serious health concerns such as liver toxicity, brain damage, DNA damage and reproductive issues. Therefore, there is urgent need to develop the detection and remediation strategies. Nanomaterials (NMs), due to their unique physiochemical properties including very high specific area, tiny sizes, quantum effects, high chemical reactivity and selectivity have become emerging materials for the detection and remediation of these radioactive wastes. Therefore, the current study aims to provide a holistic view and investigation of these new emerging NMs that are effective for the detection and removal of Uranium including metal nanoparticles, carbon-based NMs, nanosized metal oxides, metal sulfides, metal-organic frameworks, cellulose NMs, metal carbides/nitrides, and carbon dots (CDs). Along with this, the production status, and its contamination data in food, water, and soil samples all across the world are also complied in this work.

Abstract
Nuclear facilities are widely used in fields such as national defense, industry, scientific research, and medicine, which play a huge role in military and civilian use. However, in the process of widespread application of nuclear technology, uranium and its compounds with high carcinogenic and biologically toxic cause a lot of environmental problems, such as pollutions of water, atmosphere, soil, or ecosystem. Bioensors with sensitivity and specificity for the detection of uranium are highly demand. Nucleic acid enzymes (DNAzyme) with merits of high sensitivity and selectivity for targets as excellent molecular recognition elements are commonly used for uranium sensor development. In this perspective review, we summarize DNAzyme-based biosensors for the quantitative detection of uranyl ions by integrating with diverse signal outputting strategies, such as fluorescent, colorimetry, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, and electrochemistry. Different design methods, limit of detection, and practical applications are fully discussed. Finally, the challenges, potential solutions, and future prospects of such DNAzyme-based sensors are also presented.

MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14216490. [PMID: 34772017 PMCID: PMC8585121 DOI: 10.3390/ma14216490] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2021] [Revised: 10/16/2021] [Accepted: 10/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
In this paper, a dicyandiamide-impregnated mesoporous carbon (N-CMK-3), electrochemically modified in situ with lead film (Pb-N-CMK-3), was tested as an electrode material for U(VI) ultratrace determination. The prepared carbon material was characterized by XRD, SEM-EDX, Raman, FT-IR, XPS analysis and nitrogen sorption measurements. The changes of electrochemical properties of glassy carbon electrodes (GCE) after the N-CMK-3 and Pb-N-CMK-3 modification were studied using CV and EIS methods. The modification of the GCE surface by the N-CMK-3 material and Pb film increases the electroactive area of the electrode and decreases the charge transfer residence and is likely responsible for the electrochemical improvement of the U(VI) analytical signal. Using square-wave adsorptive stripping voltammetry (SWAdSV), two linear calibration ranges extending from 0.05 to 1.0 nM and from 1.0 to 10.0 nM were observed, coupled with the detection and quantification limits of 0.014 and 0.047 nM, respectively. The Pb-N-CMK-3/GCE was successfully applied for U(VI) determination in reference materials (estuarine water SLEW-3 and trace elements in natural water SRM 1640a).
