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
Novel porous boron-doped diamond (BDDporous)-based materials have attracted lots of research interest due to their enhanced detection ability and biocompatibility, favouring them for use in neuroscience. This study reports on morphological, spectral, and electrochemical characterisation of three BDDporous electrodes of different thickness given by a number of deposited layers (2, 3 and 5). These were prepared using microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition on SiO2 nanofiber-based scaffolds. Further, the effect of number of layers and poly-l-lysine coating, commonly employed in neuron cultivation experiments, on sensing properties of the neurotransmitter dopamine in a pH 7.4 phosphate buffer media was investigated. The boron doping level of ∼2 × 1021 atoms cm-3 and increased content of non-diamond (sp2) carbon in electrodes with more layers was evaluated by Raman spectroscopy. Cyclic voltammetric experiments revealed reduced working potential windows (from 2.4 V to 2.2 V), higher double-layer capacitance values (from 405 μF cm-2 to 1060 μF cm-2), enhanced rates of electron transfer kinetics and larger effective surface areas (from 5.04 mm2 to 7.72 mm2), when the number of porous layers increases. For dopamine, a significant boost in analytical performance was recognized with increasing number of layers using square-wave voltammetry: the highest sensitivity of 574.1 μA μmol-1 L was achieved on a BDDporous electrode with five layers and dropped to 35.9 μA μmol-1 L when the number of layers decreased to two. Consequently, the lowest detection limit of 0.20 μmol L-1 was obtained on a BDDporous electrode with five layers. Moreover, on porous electrodes, enhanced selectivity for dopamine detection in the presence of ascorbic acid and uric acid was demonstrated. The application of poly-l-lysine coating on porous electrode surface resulted in a decrease in dopamine peak currents by 17% and 60% for modification times of 1 h and 15 h, respectively. Hence, both examined parameters, the number of deposited porous layers and the presence of poly-l-lysine coating, were proved to considerably affect the characteristics and performance of BDDporous electrodes.

Abstract
Connecting a material's surface chemistry with its electrocatalytic performance is one of the major questions in analytical electrochemistry. This is especially important in many sensor applications where analytes from complex media need to be measured. Unfortunately, today this connection is still largely missing except perhaps for the most simple ideal model systems. Here we present an approach that can be used to obtain insights about this missing connection and apply it to the case of carbon nanomaterials. In this paper we show that by combining advanced computational techniques augmented by machine learning methods with x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and electrochemical measurements, it is possible to obtain a deeper understanding of the correlation between local surface chemistry and electrochemical performance. As a test case we show how by computationally assessing the growth of amorphous carbon (a-C) thin films at the atomic level, we can create computational structural motifs that may in turn be used to deconvolute the XAS data from the real samples resulting in local chemical information. Then, by carrying out electrochemical measurements on the same samples from which x-ray spectra were measured and that were further characterized computationally, it is possible to gain insight into the interplay between the local surface chemistry and electrochemical performance. To demonstrate this methodology, we proceed as follows: after assessing the basic electrochemical properties of a-C films, we investigate the effect of short HNO3treatment on the sensitivity of these electrodes towards an inner sphere redox probe dopamine to gain knowledge about the influence of altered surface chemistry to observed electrochemical performance. These results pave the way towards a more general assessment of electrocatalysis in different systems and provide the first steps towards data driven tailoring of electrode surfaces to gain optimal performance in a given application.

Abstract
We describe the ultrasonic assisted preparation of barium stannate-graphitic carbon nitride nanocomposite (BSO-gCN) by a simple method and its application in electrochemical detection of 4-nitrophenol via electro-oxidation. A bath type ultrasonic cleaner with ultrasonic power and ultrasonic frequency of 100 W and 50 Hz, respectively, was used for the synthesis of BSO-gCN nanocomposite material. The prepared BSO-gCN nanocomposite was characterized by employing several spectroscopic and microscopic techniques such as X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, fourier transform infra-red, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and high resolution transmission electron microscopy, to unravel the structural and electronic features of the prepared nanocomposite. The BSO-gCN was drop-casted on a pre-treated glassy carbon electrode (GCE), and their sensor electrode was utilized for electrochemical sensing of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP). The BSO-gCN modified GCE exhibited better electrochemical sensing behavior than the bare GCE and other investigated electrodes. The electroanalytical parameters such as charge transfer coefficient (α = 0.5), the rate constant for electron transfer (ks = 1.16 s-1) and number of electron transferred were calculated. Linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) exhibited increase in peak current linearly with 4-NP concentration in the range between 1.6 and 50 μM. The lowest detection limit (LoD) was calculated to be 1 μM and sensitivity of 0.81 μA μM-1 cm-2. A 100-fold excess of various ions, such as Ca2+, Na+, K+, Cl-, I-, CO32-, NO3, NH4+ and SO42- did not able to interfere with the determination of 4-NP and high sensitivity for detecting 4-NP in real samples was achieved. This newly developed BSO-gCN could be a potential candidate for electrochemical sensor applications.

Abstract
Carbon materials containing nitrogen have been extensively studied as electrode materials for use in non-platinum cathodes of fuel cells due to their high electrocatalytic activity for oxygen reduction. The activity is strongly dependent on the structure of surface nitrogen-containing functional groups. Carbon film containing nitrogen is also suitable for analytical applications because of its low background noise and its electrocatalytic activity, which is superior to that of pure carbon film. Here, we fabricated sputter-deposited nanocarbon film with a nitrogen-containing group and estimated the efficacy of a surface nitrogen-containing group for detecting biomolecules. Two types of carbon films, one rich in graphite-like nitrogen-containing bonds and the other rich in pyridine-like bonds, were successfully fabricated without changing their nitrogen concentration, sp2/sp3 ratio or surface flatness. The carbon film rich in pyridine-like bonds shows a positive oxygen reduction peak of about 250 mV compared with pure carbon film and is also 200 mV more positive compared with film with graphite-like nitrogen-containing bonds. This indicates that pyridine-like bonds contribute more effectively to electrocatalytic activity than graphite-like nitrogen-containing bonds. For detecting biomolecules, carbon film rich in pyridine-like bonds also exhibits more negative peak potentials for the oxidation of NADH and l-ascorbic acid, suggesting that carbon film rich in pyridine-like bonds will show improved performance for detecting electroactive biomolecules.

Abstract
We explored the use of carbon black (CB), graphene oxide (GO), copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) as electrode materials for the simultaneous determination of isoproterenol, acetaminophen, folic acid, propranolol and caffeine. The designed nanostructured surface was widely characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), contact angle measurements and electrochemistry. From electrochemical characterization assays carried out towards the potassium ferricyanide redox probe, fast electron transfer kinetics and a considerably higher electroactive surface area were observed for the modified electrodic surface based on CB, GO, CuNPs and PEDOT:PSS film. Using square-wave voltammetry (SWV), well defined and resolved anodic peaks were detected for isoproterenol, acetaminophen, folic acid, propranolol and caffeine, with peak-to-peak potential separation not less than 170 mV. Then, the SWV technique was explored for the simultaneous determination of quinary mixtures of these analytes, resulting in analytical curves with linear ranges and limits of detection at micromolar concentration levels. The practical viability of the proposed voltammetric sensor was illustrated in the analysis of human body fluid samples. The proposed sensor showed good repeatability and a successful application using urine and serum matrices, with recoveries close to 100%.

Abstract
The selective and sensitive detection of dopamine (DA) is of great significance for the identification of schizophrenia, Huntington's disease, and Parkinson's disease from the perspective of molecular diagnostics. So far, most of DA fluorescence sensors are based on the electron transfer from the fluorescence nanomaterials to DA-quinone. However, the limited electron transfer ability of the DA-quinone affects the level of detection sensitivity of these sensors. In this work, based on the DA can reduce Ag+ into AgNPs followed by oxidized to DA-quinone, we developed a novel silicon nanoparticles-based electron transfer fluorescent sensor for the detection of DA. As electron transfer acceptor, the AgNPs and DA-quinone can quench the fluorescence of silicon nanoparticles effectively through the synergistic electron transfer effect. Compared with traditional fluorescence DA sensors, the proposed synergistic electron transfer-based sensor improves the detection sensitivity to a great extent (at least 10-fold improvement). The proposed sensor shows a low detection limit of DA, which is as low as 0.1 nM under the optimal conditions. This sensor has potential applicability for the detection of DA in practical sample. This work has been demonstrated to contribute to a substantial improvement in the sensitivity of the sensors. It also gives new insight into design electron transfer-based sensors.

Abstract
Crystalline 2D hexagonal boron nitride (2D-hBN) nanosheets are explored as a potential electrocatalyst toward the electroanalytical sensing of dopamine (DA). The 2D-hBN nanosheets are electrically wired via a drop-casting modification process onto a range of commercially available carbon supporting electrodes, including glassy carbon (GC), boron-doped diamond (BDD), and screen-printed graphitic electrodes (SPEs). 2D-hBN has not previously been explored toward the electrochemical detection/electrochemical sensing of DA. We critically evaluate the potential electrocatalytic performance of 2D-hBN modified electrodes, the effect of supporting carbon electrode platforms, and the effect of "mass coverage" (which is commonly neglected in the 2D material literature) toward the detection of DA. The response of 2D-hBN modified electrodes is found to be largely dependent upon the interaction between 2D-hBN and the underlying supporting electrode material. For example, in the case of SPEs, modification with 2D-hBN (324 ng) improves the electrochemical response, decreasing the electrochemical oxidation potential of DA by ∼90 mV compared to an unmodified SPE. Conversely, modification of a GC electrode with 2D-hBN (324 ng) resulted in an increased oxidation potential of DA by ∼80 mV when compared to the unmodified electrode. We explore the underlying mechanisms of the aforementioned examples and infer that electrode surface interactions and roughness factors are critical considerations. 2D-hBN is utilized toward the sensing of DA in the presence of the common interferents ascorbic acid (AA) and uric acid (UA). 2D-hBN is found to be an effective electrocatalyst in the simultaneous detection of DA and UA at both pH 5.0 and 7.4. The peak separations/resolution between DA and UA increases by ∼70 and 50 mV (at pH 5.0 and 7.4, respectively, when utilizing 108 ng of 2D-hBN) compared to unmodified SPEs, with a particularly favorable response evident in pH 5.0, giving rise to a significant increase in the peak current of DA. The limit of detection (3σ) is found to correspond to 0.65 μM for DA in the presence of UA. However, it is not possible to deconvolute the simultaneous detection of DA and AA. The observed electrocatalytic effect at 2D-hBN has not previously been reported in the literature when supported upon carbon or any other electrode. We provide valuable insights into the modifier-substrate interactions of this material, essential for those designing, fabricating, and consequently performing electrochemical experiments utilizing 2D-hBN and related 2D materials.

Abstract
A simple and highly selective electrochemical method was developed for the single or simultaneous determination of dopamine (DA) and epinephrine (EP) in human body fluids using a glassy carbon electrode modified with nickel oxide nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes within a dihexadecylphosphate film using square-wave voltammetry (SWV) or differential-pulse voltammetry (DPV). Using DPV with the proposed electrode, a separation of ca. 360 mV between the peak reduction potentials of DA and EP present in binary mixtures was obtained. The analytical curves for the simultaneous determination of dopamine and epinephrine showed an excellent linear response, ranging from 7.0 × 10(-8) to 4.8 × 10(-6) and 3.0 × 10(-7) to 9.5 × 10(-6) mol L(-1) for DA and EP, respectively. The detection limits for the simultaneous determination of DA and EP were 5.0 × 10(-8) mol L(-1) and 8.2 × 10(-8) mol L(-1), respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied in the simultaneous determination of these analytes in human body fluid samples of cerebrospinal fluid, human serum and lung fluid.
