Abstract
Doping is a powerful strategy for enhancing the performance of ceria (CeO2) nanomaterials in a range of catalytic, photocatalytic, biomedical, and energy applications. The present review summarizes recent developments in the doping of ceria nanomaterials with metal and non-metal dopants for selected applications. The most important metal dopants are grouped into s, p, d, and f block elements, and the relevant synthetic methods, novel properties, and key applications of metal doped ceria are collated and critically discussed. Non-metal dopants are similarly examined and compared with metal dopants using the same performance criteria. The review reveals that non-metal (N, S, P, F, and Cl) doped ceria has mainly been synthesized by calcination and hydrothermal methods, and it has found applications mostly in photocatalysis or as a cathode material for LiS batteries. In contrast, metal doped ceria nanomaterials have been prepared by a wider range of synthetic routes and evaluated for a larger number of applications, including as catalysts or photocatalysts, as antibacterial agents, and in devices such as fuel cells, gas sensors, and colorimetric detectors. Dual/co-doped ceria containing both metals and non-metals are also reviewed, and it is found that co-doping often leads to improved properties compared with single-element doping. The review concludes with a future outlook that identifies unaddressed issues in the synthesis and applications of doped ceria nanomaterials.

Biotechnol Adv 2023; 66:108156. [PMID: 37084799 DOI: 10.1016/j.biotechadv.2023.108156] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2022] [Revised: 03/16/2023] [Accepted: 04/15/2023] [Indexed: 04/23/2023]
Abstract
The combination of nanomaterials (NMs) and aptamers into aptasensors enables highly specific and sensitive detection of diverse pollutants. The great potential of aptasensors is recognized for the detection of diverse emerging organic pollutants (EOPs) in different environmental and biological matrices. In addition to high sensitivity and selectivity, NM-based aptasensors have many other advantages such as portability, miniaturization, facile use, and affordability. This work showcases the recent advances achieved in the design and fabrication of NM-based aptasensors for monitoring EOPs (e.g., hormones, phenolic contaminants, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals). On the basis of their sensing mechanisms, the covered aptasensing systems are classified as electrochemical, colorimetric, PEC, fluorescence, SERS, and ECL. Special attention has been paid to the fabrication processes, analytical achievements, and sensing mechanisms of NM-based aptasensors. Further, the practical utility of aptasensing approaches has also been assessed based on their basic performance metrics (e.g., detection limits, sensing ranges, and response times).

Abstract
Nanozymes are nanomaterials with enzyme-like activity, possessing the unique properties of nanomaterials and natural enzyme-like catalytic functions. Nanozymes are catalytically active, stable, tunable, recyclable, and versatile. Therefore, increasing attention has been paid in the fields of environmental science and life sciences. In this review, we focused on the most recent applications of nanozymes for environmental monitoring, environmental management, and environmental protection. We firstly introduce the tuning catalytic activity of nanozymes according to some crucial factors such as size and shape, composition and doping, and surface coating. Then, the application of nanozymes in environmental fields are introduced in detail. Nanozymes can not only be used to detect inorganic ions, molecules, organics, and foodborne pathogenic bacteria but are also involved in the degradation of phenolic compounds, dyes, and antibiotics. The capability of nanozymes was also reported for assisting air purification, constructing biofuel cells, and application in marine antibacterial fouling removal. Finally, the current challenges and future trends of nanozymes toward environmental fields are proposed and discussed.

Abstract
Aptasensors are amazing among many currently formed procedures due to their excellent particularity, selectivity and responsiveness. These biosensors get more popular in combination with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to detect chemical and biological molecules. The response of AuNPs by changing color provides a simple explanation of outcomes. The authors review the recent developments in AuNP-based colorimetric aptasensors designed to sense different chemical and biological molecules. They summarize the procedure of AuNP-based detection and the ordinary instances of currently formed AuNP-based colorimetric procedures. Furthermore, their uses for detecting different analytes based on analyte types are given and the present challenges, overview, and positive views for forming new aptasensors are also regarded.

CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 307:136108.

Abstract
Explosives are powerful destructive weapons used by criminals and terrorists across the globe and their use within military installation sites poses serious environmental health problems. Existing colorimetric sensors for triacetone triperoxide (TATP) relies on detecting its hydrolysed H2O2 form. However, such detection strategy limits the practicability for on-site TATP sensing. In this work, we have developed a novel peroxidase mimic catalytic colorimetric sensor for direct recognition of TATP. Ceria (Ce)-doped Fe3O4 nanoparticles (CeFe3O4) were synthesized via the hot-injection organic synthetic route in the presence of metal precursors and organic ligands. Thereafter, the organic-capped CeFe3O4 nanoparticles were surface-functionalized with amphiphilic polymers (Amp-poly) to render the nanoparticle stable, compact and biocompatible. Thiolated γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) was adsorbed on the Amp-poly-CeFe3O4 nanocomposite (NC) surface to form a γ-CD-Amp-poly-CeFe3O4 NC. γ-CD served both as a receptor and as a catalytic enhancer for TATP. Hemin (H), used as a catalytic signal amplifier was adsorbed on the γ-CD-Amp-poly-CeFe3O4 NC surface to form a γ-CD-Amp-poly-CeFe3O4-H NC that served as a functional nanozyme for the enhanced catalytic colorimetric detection of TATP. Under optimum experimental reaction conditions, TATP prepared in BIS-TRIS-Trisma Ac-KAc-NAc buffer, pH 3, was selectively and ultrasensitively detected without the need for acid hydrolysis based on the catalytic oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine by H2O2 in the presence of the γ-CD-Amp-poly-CeFe3O4-H hybrid nanozyme. The obtained limit of detection of ∼0.05 μg/mL when compared with other published probes demonstrated superior sensitivity. The developed peroxidase mimic γ-CD-Amp-poly-CeFe3O4-H catalytic colorimetric sensor was successfully applied to detect TATP in soil, river water and tap water samples.

Abstract
A novel strategy is reported to access high-performance nanozymes via the self-coordination of ferrocyanides ([Fe(CN)6]4-) onto the surface of the Cu3BiS3 (CBS) nanorods. Notably, the in situ formed nanozymes had high catalytic activity, good stability, low cost, and easy mass production. The formed nanozyme catalyzed the oxidation of the typical chromogenic substrate of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) with a distinctive absorption peak at 652 nm, accompanied by a blue color development. Moreover, the attachment of deoxyribonucleoside 5'-monophosphates (dNMP) beforehand onto the surface of CBS prevented coordination of ferrocyanides and resulted in the tunable formation of the nanozyme, thereby enabling the construction of an exquisite biosensing platform. Taking the aptasensing of chloramphenicol (CAP) as an example, the engineered nanozyme allowed the construction of a homogenous, label-free, and high-performance bioassay in terms of its convenience and high sensitivity. Under the optimal conditions, changes in the absorption intensity at 652 nm for the oxidized TMB provides a good linear correlation with the logarithm of CAP concentrations in the range 0.1 pM to 100 nM, and the limit of detection was 0.033 pM (calculated from 3σ/s). Considering a vast number of bioreactions can be connected to dNMP production, we expect the engineerable nanozyme as a universal signal transduction scaffold for versatile applications in bioassays. Through the attachment of deoxyribonucleoside 5'-monophosphate (dNMP) on the surface of CBS to regulate the generation of self-coordinated nanozyme CBS/BiHCF, a homogeneous, label-free, and high-performance universal aptasensing platform was constructed.

Abstract
In this work, a visual colorimetric method for the rapid and selective detection of triacetone triperoxide is reported. This visual colorimetric method is based on the reaction between potassium titanyl oxalate and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) released from triacetone triperoxide degradation. Potassium titanyl oxalate can selectively react with H2O2 to form peroxo-titanic acid (an orange complex), enabling the colorimetric detection of triacetone triperoxide. Based on the theory that triacetone triperoxide produces hydrogen peroxide under acidic conditions, acid types, acid concentration, response time, visual limit of detection, and reactants ratio are systematically studied simultaneously for this colorimetric method. Under sulfuric acid concentration is 60%, the proposed method can almost detect triacetone triperoxide instantly, and the color of the solution reaches the maximum within 1 min and remains stable with a visual limit of detection as low as 3.0 × 10−5 mol/L. Interference experiments were carried out on other kinds of explosives (hexamethylene triperoxide diamine, trinitrotoluene, etc.). The use of colorimetric card brings great convenience to the rapid, qualitative, and semi-quantitative on-site detection of triacetone triperoxide. Because of its rapidity, high sensitivity, simplicity, and selectivity, the proposed visual colorimetric method can serve as a valuable and promising reference for triacetone triperoxide’s rapid, qualitative on-site detection.

Abstract
The evolution of biosensors and diagnostic devices has been thriving in its ability to provide reliable tools with simplified operation steps. These evolutions have paved the way for further advances in sensing materials, strategies, and device structures. Polymeric composite materials can be formed into nanostructures and networks of different types, including hydrogels, vesicles, dendrimers, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP), etc. Due to their biocompatibility, flexibility, and low prices, they are promising tools for future lab-on-chip devices as both manufacturing materials and immobilization surfaces. Polymers can also allow the construction of scaffold materials and 3D structures that further elevate the sensing capabilities of traditional 2D biosensors. This review discusses the latest developments in nano-scaled materials and synthesis techniques for polymer structures and their integration into sensing applications by highlighting their various structural advantages in producing highly sensitive tools that rival bench-top instruments. The developments in material design open a new door for decentralized medicine and public protection that allows effective onsite and point-of-care diagnostics.
