Mikrochim Acta 2024; 191:540. [PMID: 39150580 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-024-06619-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2024] [Accepted: 07/31/2024] [Indexed: 08/17/2024]
Abstract
For the first time the sensitive determination of carbendatim (CRB) is reported utilizing a well-designed sensing architecture based on vanadium diselenide-multiwalled carbon nanotube (VSMC). FTIR, XRD, FESEM, EDS, and EIS were employed to evaluate the sensor's structural integrity, and the results demonstrated the successful integration of nanomaterials, resulting in a robust and sensitive electrochemical sensor. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronoamperometric (CA) investigations showed that the sensor best performed at pH 8.0 (BRB) with an excellent detection limit of 9.80 nM with a wide linear range of 0.1 to 10.0 µM. A more thermodynamically viable oxidation of CRB was observed at the VSMC/GCE, with a shift of 200 mV in peak potential towards the less positive side compared with the unmodified GCE. In addition, the sensor demonstrated facile heterogeneous electron transfer, favorable anti-fouling traits in the presence of a wide range of interferents, good stability, and reproducible analytical performance. Finally, the developed sensor was validated for real-time quantification of CRB from spiked water, food, and bio-samples, which depicted acceptable recoveries (98.6 to 101.5%) with RSD values between 0.35 and 2.23%. Further, to derive the possible sensing mechanism, the valence orbitals projected density of states (PDOS) for C, H, and N atoms of an isolated CRB molecule, VSe2 + CNT and VSe2 + CNT + CRB were calculated using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The dominant charge transfer from the valence 2p-orbitals of the C and N atoms of CRB to CNT is responsible for the electrochemical sensing of CRB molecules.

Abstract
The facile fabrication is reported of highly electrochemically active Ti3C2Tx MXene/MWCNT (3D/1D)-modified screen-printed carbon electrode (SPE) for the efficient simultaneous electrochemical detection of paracetamol, theophylline, and caffeine in human blood samples. 3D/1D Ti3C2Tx MXene/MWCNT nanocomposite was synthesized using microwave irradiation and ultrasonication processes. Then, the Ti3C2Tx/MWCNT-modified SPE electrode was fabricated and thoroughly characterized towards its physicochemical and electrochemical properties using XPS, TEM, FESEM, XRD, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and differential pulse voltammetry techniques. As-constructed Ti3C2Tx-MWCNT/SPE offers excellent electrochemical sensing performance with good detection limits (0.23, 0.57, and 0.43 µM) and wide linear ranges (1.0 ~ 90.1, 2.0 ~ 62.0, and 2.0-90.9 µM) for paracetamol, caffeine, and theophylline, respectively, in the human samples. Notably, the non-enzymatic electroactive nanocomposite-modified electrode has depicted a semicircle Nyquist plot with low charge transfer resistance (Rct∼95 Ω), leading to high ionic diffusion and facilitating an excellent electron transfer path. All the above results in efficient stability, reproducibility, repeatability, and sensitivity compared with other reported works, and thus, it claims its practical utilization in realistic clinical applications.

Abstract
Perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs) exhibit high chemical and thermal stability, rendering them versatile for various applications. However, their notable toxicity poses environmental and human health concerns. Detecting trace amounts of these chemicals is crucial to mitigate risks. Electrochemical sensors surpass traditional methods in sensitivity, selectivity, and cost-effectiveness. In this study, a graphene nanosheet-based sensor was developed for detecting perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA). Using the Hummer method, graphene nanosheets were synthesized and characterized in terms of morphology, structural ordering, and surface topology. Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations determined the molecular interaction of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) with the sensor material. The sensor exhibited high sensitivity (50.75 μA·μM-1·cm-2 for PFOA and 29.58 μA·μM-1·cm-2 for PFDA) and low detection limits (10.4 nM for PFOA and 16.6 nM for PFDA) within the electrode dynamic linearity range of 0.05-500.0 μM (PFOA) and 0.08-500.0 μM (PFDA). Under optimal conditions, the sensor demonstrated excellent selectivity and recovery in testing for PFOA and PFDA in environmental samples, including spiked soil, water, spoiled vegetables, and fruit samples.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 17:665.

Abstract
In this study, a carbon ceramic electrode (CCE) with improved electroanalytical performance was developed by bulk-modifying it with bismuth(III) oxide nanoparticles (Bi-CCE). Characterization of the Bi-CCE was conducted employing atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry (CV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Comparative analysis was conducted using an unmodified CCE. The findings proved that the incorporation of Bi2O3 nanoparticles into the CCE significantly altered the morphology and topography of the ceramic composite, and it improved the electrochemical properties of CCE. Notably, the Bi-CCE demonstrated a prolonged operational lifespan of at least three months, and there was a high reproducibility of the electrode preparation procedure. The developed Bi-CCE was effectively employed to explore the electrochemical behavior and quantify the priority environmental pollutant 4-chloro-3-methylphenol (PCMC) using CV and square-wave voltammetry (SWV), respectively. Notably, the developed SWV procedure utilizing Bi-CCE exhibited significantly enhanced sensitivity (0.115 µA L mol-1), an extended linearity (0.5-58.0 µmol L-1), and a lower limit of detection (0.17 µmol L-1) in comparison with the unmodified electrode. Furthermore, the Bi-CCE was utilized effectively for the detection of PCMC in a river water sample intentionally spiked with the compound. The selectivity toward PCMC determination was also successfully assessed.

Abstract
Hybridizing biomolecules with metal oxide nanostructures possessing inherent optical emission and electrochemical functionality is advantageous for external mediator-free analytical applications. This work demonstrates the ultrasonochemical synthesis of hafnium oxide (HfO2) nanoparticles and their combination with butein, a chalcone type polyphenol, for the direct electrochemical detection of active herbaceuticals. The underlying hybridization chemistry between HfO2 and butein within the bio-nano interface is comprehensively investigated using ultraviolet diffuse reflectance, X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic techniques. Electron micrographs suggest the formation of elongated nano spherical particles of HfO2 with the incorporation of butein (average particle size of 17.6 ± 2.9 nm). The catecholic OH group of butein existing on the surface of hybridized HfO2 exhibits reversible redox behavior convenient for probing the selected target analyte at physiological pH. The electron diffusion kinetics, electron transfer coefficient and rate constant parameters of the prepared HfO2-butein electrode material have been studied in detail for further application in biomolecular sensing of wogonin. The as-developed sensor platform exhibits a linear detection range of 20-100 μM with a current density of 60 μA cm-2 and a detection limit of 0.63 μM, which is promising for herbaceutical analysis.

Abstract
Preconcentration can effectively enhance the detection performance of electrodes in the electrochemical detection of heavy metal ions, but it also presents challenges for real-time monitoring. Several attempts have been made to optimize preconcentration by improving the adsorption capacity or detection mechanism of the electrode. The valence transfer of tungsten oxide between W5+/W6+ can participate in the reduction between the electrode material and heavy metal ions, playing a role in preconcentration to some extent. Therefore, we developed a WO3/SSM electrochemical sensor for the detection of Cu(II) that utilizes the valence variation property of WO3. The crystallinity and microstructure of the WO3/SSM electrode can be regulated by controlling the deposition parameters, and we prepared three types of WO3/SSM with different morphologies to identify the influence of the electrochemical effective surface area. The proposed electrode shows high performance as a Cu(II) sensor under short preconcentration time (60 s), with an excellent sensitivity of 14.113 μA μM-1 cm-2 for 0.1-10.0 μM and 4.7356 μA μM-1 cm-2 for 10.0-20.0 μM. Overall, the combined effect of morphology and valence transfers shortens the preconcentration time and optimizes preconcentration while ensuring excellent electrode performance. This WO3/SSM electrode is expected to drive great advances in the application of tungsten oxide in the electrochemical detection of heavy metal ions.

Abstract
Being a persuasive antibiotic, ciprofloxacin is widely administered to patients and its excessive discharge has generated a keen interest among researchers for its detection in water resources. Therefore, the current work utilizes the virtues of carbon dots synthesized from the leaves of Ocimum sanctum as an economical and convenient bimodal stratagem for the detection of ciprofloxacin via an electrochemical and fluorometric approach. The insight into photostability, size, morphology, and optical studies of the carbon dots was tested to enhance their scope in sensing. The excellent photoluminescence-based excitation-dependent behavior with a quantum yield of 46.7% and non-requirement of any kind of labeled surface variations for amending their fluorescence and electrochemical properties have further supported the utilization of as-prepared carbon dots in trace-level monitoring of ciprofloxacin. The fluorescence emission intensity and peak current were enhanced by many folds via the application of Ocimum sanctum-derived carbon dots. The synergetic effect of carbon dots has possessed a linear relationship between the peak current/emission intensity within the range of 0 to 250 μM of ciprofloxacin and the lowest detection limit value was found to be 0.293 and 0.0822 μM with fluorometric and electrochemical methods, respectively. The sensor demonstrated excellent applicability for the estimation of ciprofloxacin and acts as a high-performance dual sensor for further applications.

Considering the increasing concern for food safety, electrochemical methods for detecting specific ingredients in the food are currently the most efficient method due to their low cost, fast response signal, high sensitivity, and ease of use. The detection efficiency of electrochemical sensors is determined by the electrode materials' electrochemical characteristics. Among them, three-dimensional (3D) electrodes have unique advantages in electronic transfer, adsorption capacity and exposure of active sites for energy storage, novel materials, and electrochemical sensing. Therefore, this review begins by outlining the benefits and drawbacks of 3D electrodes compared to other materials before going into more detail about how 3D materials are synthesized. Next, different types of 3D electrodes are outlined together with common modification techniques for enhancing electrochemical performance. After this, a demonstration of 3D electrochemical sensors for food safety applications, such as detecting components, additives, emerging pollutants, and bacteria in food, was given. Finally, improvement measures and development directions of electrodes with 3D electrochemical sensors are discussed. We think that this review will help with the creation of new 3D electrodes and offer fresh perspectives on how to achieve extremely sensitive electrochemical detection in the area of food safety.

Abstract
In previous years, different pollutants, for example, organic dyes, antibiotics, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, and agricultural pollutants, have been of note to the water enterprise due to their insufficient reduction during standard water and wastewater processing methods. MOFs have been found to have potential toward wastewater management. This Review focused on the synthesis process (such as traditional, electrochemical, microwave, sonochemical, mechanochemical, and continuous-flow spray-drying method) of MOF materials. Moreover, the properties of the MOF materials have been discussed in detail. Further, MOF materials' applications for wastewater treatment (such as the removal of antibiotics, organic dyes, heavy metal ions, and agricultural waste) have been discussed. Additionally, we have compared the performances of some typical MOFs-based materials with those of other commonly used materials. Finally, the study's current challenges, future prospects, and outlook have been highlighted.

Abstract
Pharmaceutical compounds in aquatic environments have been considered as emerging contaminants due to their potential risks to living organisms. Microalgae-based technology showed the feasibility of removing pharmaceutical contaminants. This review summarizes the occurrence, classification, possible emission sources, and environmental risk of frequently detected pharmaceutical compounds in aqueous environments. The efficiency, mechanisms, and influencing factors for the removal of pharmaceutical compounds through microalgae-based technology are further discussed. Pharmaceutical compounds frequently detected in aqueous environments include antibiotics, hormones, analgesic and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), cardiovascular agents, central nervous system drugs (CNS), antipsychotics, and antidepressants, with a concentration ranging from ng/L to μg/L. Microalgae-based technology majorly remove the pharmaceutical compounds through bioadsorption, bioaccumulation, biodegradation, photodegradation, and co-metabolism. This review identifies the opportunities and challenges for microalgae-based technology and proposed suggestions for future studies to tackle challenges. The findings of this review advance our understanding of the occurrence and fate of pharmaceutical contaminants in aqueous environments, highlighting the potential of microalgae-based technology for pharmaceutical contaminants removal.

Significance of an Electrochemical Sensor and Nanocomposites: Toward the Electrocatalytic Detection of Neurotransmitters and Their Importance within the Physiological System.

Abstract
A prominent neurotransmitter (NT), dopamine (DA), is a chemical messenger that transmits signals between one neuron to the next to pass on a signal to and from the central nervous system (CNS). The imbalanced concentration of DA may cause numerous neurological sicknesses and syndromes, for example, Parkinson's disease (PD) and schizophrenia. There are many types of NTs in the brain, including epinephrine, norepinephrine (NE), serotonin, and glutamate. Electrochemical sensors have offered a creative direction to biomedical analysis and testing. Researches are in progress to improve the performance of sensors and develop new protocols for sensor design. This review article focuses on the area of sensor growth to discover the applicability of polymers and metallic particles and composite materials as tools in electrochemical sensor surface incorporation. Electrochemical sensors have attracted the attention of researchers as they possess high sensitivity, quick reaction rate, good controllability, and instantaneous detection. Efficient complex materials provide considerable benefits for biological detection as they have exclusive chemical and physical properties. Due to distinctive electrocatalytic characteristics, metallic nanoparticles add fascinating traits to materials that depend on the material's morphology and size. Herein, we have collected much information on NTs and their importance within the physiological system. Furthermore, the electrochemical sensors and corresponding techniques (such as voltammetric, amperometry, impedance, and chronoamperometry) and the different types of electrodes' roles in the analysis of NTs are discussed. Furthermore, other methods for detecting NTs include optical and microdialysis methods. Finally, we show the advantages and disadvantages of different techniques and conclude remarks with future perspectives.

Ultrasound-assisted synthesis of europium doped BPO 4 nanoparticles; a new approach for Zn 2+ (aq) detection. Food Chem Toxicol 2022; 168:113373.

Abstract
In this work, europium ion was doped into boron phosphate nanoparticles (BPO4) using an ultrasonic method followed by the calcination process. The nanoparticles were characterized by various techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), photoluminescence spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Doping of europium ion into the BPO4 host crystal was proved by cell volume calculation from XRD patterns, the shift in Raman spectra, and photoluminescence properties. In addition, the europium doped boron phosphate (BPE) as a fluorescence sensor for the quantification of Zn2+ cation was studied. The obtained results showed the enhancement and shift of the photoluminescence peak from 292 to 340 nm. The sensor's selectivity toward this ion was verified in the presence of a variety of common interfering cations. Surprisingly, BPE revealed excellent selectivity and sensitivity towards Zn2+ in the presence of Pb2+, Na+, Fe2+, Al3+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cu2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Mn2+, Cd2+, Hg2+, Ba2+ and Fe3+ cations. The fluorescence response was linearly proportional to the Zn2+concentration. After the addition of trace amounts of Zn2+ ions into the aqueous solution, a significant enhancement of fluorescence emission occurred with the detection limit of 0.3 μM.
