Abstract
The Fe2+/Fe3+ redox couple is effective for voltammetric detection of trace dopamine (DA). However, achieving adequate concentrations with high electroactive surface area (ECSA), DA affinity, and fast interfacial charge transfer is challenging. Consequently, most reported Fe-based sensors have a high nanomolar range detection limit (LOD). Herein, we address these limitations by manipulating the phase and morphology of FeOOH/Fe2O3 heterojunctions anchored on sp2-carbon. FeOOH/Fe2O3 is synthesized by variable temperature aging of unique Fe5H9O15/Fe2O3@sp2-carbon colloidal nanoparticles, which form via chelation between biomass-derived carbon nanodots (CNDs) and Fe2+ ions. At 27 °C and 120 °C, Fe5H9O15/Fe2O3@sp2-carbon transforms into β-FeOOH/Fe2O3 nanoparticles and α-FeOOH/Fe2O3 nanosheet, respectively. The β-FeOOH/Fe2O3 interface exhibits higher eg orbital electron occupancy than α-FeOOH/Fe2O3, thereby facilitating oxygen adsorption and the generation of Fe2+/Fe3+ sites near the polarization potential of DA. This facilitates interfacial electron transfer between Fe3+ and DA. Moreover, its nanoparticle morphology enhances ECSA and DA adsorption compared to α-FeOOH/Fe2O3 nanosheets. With a LOD of ~3.11 nM, β-FeOOH/Fe2O3 surpasses the lower threshold in humans (~10 nM) and matches noble-metal sensors. Furthermore, it exhibits selective detection of DA over 10 biochemicals in urine. Therefore, the β-FeOOH/Fe2O3@sp2-C platform holds promise as a low-cost, easy-to-synthesize, and practical voltammetric DA monitor.

Abstract
This study compares the sensing performance for platinum-molybdenum-, platinum-zirconium-, platinum-iron-iridium-, and platinum-modified electrodes in terms of the amperometric detection of ascorbic acid (AA) and dopamine (DA). The Pt, Pt-Mo, Pt-Zr, and Pt-Fe-Ir electrocatalysts are fabricated by chemical reduction on a carbon black support (XC-72) and are further modified on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) as sensing electrodes. The Pt-Mo/C/GCE exhibits better electrocatalytic activity toward AA and DA than the Pt/C/GCE, Pt-Zr/C/GCE, and Pt-Fe-Ir/C/GCE. The Pt-Mo/C/GCE exhibits a sensitivity of 31.29 µA mM−1 to AA at 0.3 V vs. Ag/AgCl and a sensitivity of 72.24 µA mM−1 to DA at 0.6 V vs. Ag/AgCl and is reproducible and stable. This electrode has a respective limit of detection of 7.69 and 6.14 µM for AA and DA. Sucrose, citric acid, tartaric acid, and uric acid do not interfere with AA and DA detection. The diffusion coefficient and kinetic parameters, such as the catalytic rate constant and the heterogeneous rate constant for AA and DA, are determined using electrochemical approaches.

Abstract
In the last years, hematite has been utilized in a plethora of applications. High aspect-ratio nanohematite and hematite/silica core-shell nanostructures are arousing growing interest for applications exploiting their magnetic properties. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is utilized here to produce SiO2-coated α-Fe2O3 nanofibers (NFs) through two synthetic routes, viz. electrospinning/calcination/ALD or electrospinning/ALD/calcination. The number of ALD cycles (10-100) modulates the coating thickness, while the chosen route controls the final nanostructure. Porous and partially hollow NFs are produced. Their hierarchical structure and the nature and density of the lattice defects and strain are characterized by combining electron microscopy, diffraction, and spectroscopy techniques. The uncoated hematite NFs mostly have surface-related strain, which is attributed to oxygen vacancies/Fe2+ sites. ALD coating causes microstrain release and decrease of surface states. NFs calcined after ALD have extensive bulk strain, which is ascribed to the presence of dislocations throughout the volume of the NF grains. Bulk strain determines the remanent magnetization, whereas both surface and bulk strain influence the coercive field and the thermal behavior across the Morin temperature, including the magnetic memory effect. To the best of the authors' knowledge, the correlation between lattice defects/strain and magnetic properties of SiO2-coated α-Fe2O3 NFs has never been reported before.
