Abstract
3D printing technology is a tremendously powerful technology to fabricate electrochemical sensing devices. However, current conductive filaments are not aimed at electrochemical applications and therefore require intense activation protocols to unleash a suitable electrochemical performance. Current activation methods based on (electro)chemical activation (using strong alkaline solutions and organic solvents and/or electrochemical treatments) or combined approaches are time-consuming and require hazardous chemicals and dedicated operator intervention. Here, pioneering spark-discharge-activated 3D-printed electrodes were developed and characterized, and it was demonstrated that their electrochemical performance was greatly improved by the effective removal of the thermoplastic support polylactic acid (PLA) as well as the formation of sponge-like and low-dimensional carbon nanostructures. This reagent-free approach consists of a direct, fast, and automatized spark discharge between the 3D-electrode and the respective graphite pencil electrode tip using a high-voltage power supply. Activated electrodes were challenged toward the simultaneous voltammetric determination of dopamine (DP) and serotonin (5-HT) in cell culture media. Spark discharge has been demonstrated as a promising approach for conductive filament activation as it is a fast, green (0.94 GREEnness Metric Approach), and automatized procedure that can be integrated into the 3D printing pipeline.

Abstract
Advances in the field of nanobiotechnology are largely due to discoveries in the field of materials. Recent developments in the field of electrochemical biosensors based on transition metal nanomaterials as transducer elements have been beneficial as they possess various functionalities that increase surface area and provide well-defined active sites to accommodate elements for rapid detection of biomolecules. In recent years, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have become the focus of interest in various applications due to their considerable physical, chemical, electronic, and optical properties. It is worth noting that their unique properties can be modulated by defect engineering and morphology control. The resulting multifunctional TMD surfaces have been explored as potential capture probes for the rapid and selective detection of biomolecules. In this review, our primary focus is to delve into the synthesis, properties, design, and development of electrochemical biosensors that are based on transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) for the detection of biomolecules. We aim to explore the potential of TMD-based electrochemical biosensors, identify the challenges that need to be overcome, and highlight the opportunities for further future development.

Ecotoxicological assessment of water phase exfoliated two-dimensional Group-VI transition metal dichalcogenides using zebrafish embryo model. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 342:140167.

Abstract
Among emerging layered materials, 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) nanosheets (n-sheets) have received increasing attention for optoelectronics, energy storage, and, recently, for bioremediation and advanced biomedical applications; however, a lack of ecotoxicological in vivo studies is evident. Herein, for the first time, the potential nanotoxicity of liquid phase exfoliated Group VI TMDs n-sheets (MoS2, WS2, WSe2, and MoSe2) was comparatively investigated using zebrafish embryos (Z-EBs) as an in-vivo model. The 2D n-sheets were produced directly in aqueous-medium, the obtained n-sheets were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Raman and visible spectroscopy, and their potential nanotoxicity was investigated by fish embryo test OECD TG 236. Chorionated and dechorionated embryos were used to assess the severity of TMD exposure. The survival rate, sublethal alteration during embryogenesis, hatching rate, and mortality were evaluated. TMDs n-sheets tend to adhere to the Z-EBs surface depending on their chemistry. Despite this, TMDs did not show lethal effects; weak sublethal effects were found for MoS2 and WSe2, while slight hatching delays were registered for MoSe2 and WSe2. The observed effects are attributable to the TMDs' tendency to interact with Z-EBs, because of the different chemistry. This work demonstrates how water-dispersed TMDs are potential eco/biocompatible materials.

Abstract
Foodborne diseases have arisen due to the globalization of industry and the increase in urban population, which has led to increased demand for food and has ultimately endangered the quality of food. Foodborne diseases have caused some of the most common public health problems and led to significant social and economic issues worldwide. Food quality and safety are affected by microbial contaminants, growth-promoting feed additives (β-agonists and antibiotics), food allergens, and toxins in different stages from harvesting to storage and marketing of products. Electrochemical biosensors, due to their reduced size and portability, low cost, and low consumption of reagents and samples, can quickly provide valuable quantitative and qualitative information about food contamination. In this regard, using nanomaterials can increase the sensitivity of the assessment. Magnetic nanoparticle (MNP)-based biosensors, especially, are receiving significant attention due to their low-cost production, physicochemical stability, biocompatibility, and eco-friendly catalytic characteristics, along with magnetic, biological, chemical and electronic sensing features. Here, we provide a review on the application of iron-based magnetic nanoparticles in the electrochemical sensing of food contamination. The types of nanomaterials used in order to improve the methods and increase the sensitivity of the methods have been discussed. Then, we stated the advantages and limitations of each method and tried to state the research gaps for each platform/method. Finally, the role of microfluidic and smartphone-based methods in the rapid detection of food contamination is stated. Then, various techniques like label-free and labelled regimes for the sensitive monitoring of food contamination were surveyed. Next, the critical role of antibody, aptamer, peptide, enzyme, DNA, cells and so on for the construction of specific bioreceptors for individual and simultaneous recognition by electrochemical methods for food contamination were discussed. Finally, integration of novel technologies such as microfluidic and smartphones for the identification of food contaminations were investigated. It is important to point out that, in the last part of each sub-section, attained results of different reports for each strategy were compared and advantages/limitations were mentioned.

Abstract
The production of 2D/2D heterostructures (HTs) with favorable electrochemical features is challenging, particularly for semiconductor transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). In this studies, we introduce a CO2 laser plotter-based technology for the realization of HT films comprising reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and 2D-TMDs (MoS2, WS2, MoSe2, and WSe2) produced via water phase exfoliation. The strategy relies on the Laser-Induced production of HeterosTructures (LIHTs), where after irradiation the nanomaterials exhibit changes in the morphological and chemical structure, becoming conductive easily transferable nanostructured films. The LIHTs were characterized in detail by SEM, XPS, Raman and electrochemical analysis. The laser treatment induces the conversion of GO into conductive highly exfoliated rGO decorated with homogeneously distributed small TMD/TM-oxide nanoflakes. The freestanding LIHT films obtained were employed to build self-contained sensors onto nitrocellulose, where the HT works both as a transducer and sensing surface. The proposed nitrocellulose-sensor manufacturing process is semi-automated and reproducible, multiple HT films may be produced in the same laser treatment and the stencil-printing allows customizable design. Excellent performance in the electroanalytical detection of different molecules such as dopamine (a neurotransmitter), catechin (a flavonol), and hydrogen peroxide was demonstrated, obtaining nanomolar limits of detection and satisfactory recovery rates in biological and agrifood samples, together with high fouling resistance. Considering the robust and rapid laser-induced production of HTs and the versatility of scribing desired patterns, the proposed approach appears as a disruptive technology for the development of electrochemical devices through sustainable and accessible strategies.

Abstract
Nowadays, the adoption of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) techniques is undergoing an impressive increase. In light of this, one of the most promising strategies is the novel use of non-physiological materials and naturally derived compounds for advanced sperm preparation methods. Here, sperm cells were exposed during capacitation to MoS2/Catechin nanoflakes and catechin (CT), a flavonoid with antioxidant properties, at concentrations of 10, 1, 0.1 ppm. The results showed no significant differences in terms of sperm membrane modifications or biochemical pathways among the groups, allowing the hypothesis that MoS2/CT nanoflakes do not induce any negative effect on the parameters evaluated related to sperm capacitation. Moreover, the addition of CT alone at a specific concentration (0.1 ppm) increased the spermatozoa fertilizing ability in an IVF assay by increasing the number of fertilized oocytes with respect to the control group. Our findings open interesting new perspectives regarding the use of catechins and new materials obtained using natural or bio compounds, which could be used to implement the current strategies for sperm capacitation.

Abstract
Industrial wastes have become elective sustainable sources to obtain materials for electronic/electroanalytical purposes; on the other hand, easy and green strategies to include semiconductor 2D graphene-like materials in conductive networks are highly required. In this work, 1D/2D nanocomposites (NCs) based on nanofibrillar biochar (BH) from paper industry waste and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs: MoS2, WS2, MoSe2, and WSe2), were prepared in water via liquid phase exfoliation (LPE) using sodium cholate as bioderived surfactant. The TMD amount in the NCs has been carefully optimized, searching for the best compromise between electron transfer ability and electroanalytical performances. Four different water-dispersed BH-TMD NCs have been selected and comprehensively studied from the electrochemical point of view and morphologically characterized. The BH-TMDs potentiality have been demonstrated in model solutions and real samples towards different analytes of biological and agri-food interest. The most performing NCs have been selected and used for the simultaneous determination of the neurotransmitters dopamine (DP) and serotonin (SR), and the flavonoids quercetin (QR) and rutin (RT), obtaining good linearity (R2 ≥ 0.9956) with limits of detection ranging from 10 to 200 nM. Reproducible quantitative recovery values (90-112%, RSD ≤6%, n = 3) were obtained analyzing simultaneously DP and SR in synthetic biological fluid and drugs, and QR and RT in food supplements, proving the usability of the proposed materials for real analyses. This work proves that BH-nanofibers act as a sustainable conductive hosting network for 2D-TMDs, allowing full exploit their electroanalytical potential. The proposed BH-TMD NCs represent a sustainable, affordable, and captivating opportunity for the electrochemical and (bio)sensoristic field.

Abstract
Recently, there has been increasing interest in electrochemical printed sensors for a wide range of applications such as biomedical, pharmaceutical, food safety, and environmental fields. A major challenge is to obtain selective, sensitive, and reliable sensing platforms that can meet the stringent performance requirements of these application areas. Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials advances have accelerated the performance of electrochemical sensors towards more practical approaches. This review discusses the recent development of electrochemical printed sensors, with emphasis on the integration of non-carbon 2D materials as sensing platforms. A brief introduction to printed electrochemical sensors and electrochemical technique analysis are presented in the first section of this review. Subsequently, sensor surface functionalization and modification techniques including drop-casting, electrodeposition, and printing of functional ink are discussed. In the next section, we review recent insights into novel fabrication methodologies, electrochemical techniques, and sensors' performances of the most used transition metal dichalcogenides materials (such as MoS2, MoSe2, and WS2), MXenes, and hexagonal boron-nitride (hBN). Finally, the challenges that are faced by electrochemical printed sensors are highlighted in the conclusion. This review is not only useful to provide insights for researchers that are currently working in the related area, but also instructive to the ones new to this field.

Abstract
Liver cancer is one of the most common global health problems that features a high mortality rate. Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a potential liver cancer biomarker for the diagnosis of liver cancer. The quantitative detection of AFP at an ultratrace level has important medical significance. Using the reaction of the antibody-antigen pair in an immunosensor enables the sensitive and selective AFP assay. Finding a strategy in signal generation and amplification is challenging to fabricate new sensitive electrochemical immunosensors for AFP detection. This study demonstrates the construction of a simple, reliable, and label-free immunosensor for the detection of AFP on a smart phone. Exfoliated two-dimensional (2D) molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2) and 2D tungsten diselenide (WSe2) were employed to modify the disposable screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) to use as the electrochemical platform, which is affixed to a small potentiostat connected to a smart phone. The modified electrode offers antibody immobilization and allows detection of AFP via an immunocomplex forming a sandwich-like configuration with the AFP-corresponding aptamer. A heterojunction 2D MoSe2/2D WSe2 composite improves the SPCE's reactivity and provides a large surface area and good adsorption capacity for the immobilizing antibodies. The signal generation for the immunosensor is from the electrochemical response of methylene blue (MB) intercalating into the aptamer bound on the electrode. The response for the proposed sandwich-like immunosensor is proportional to the AFP concentration (1.0-50,000 pg ml-1). The biosensor has potential for the development of a simple and robust point-of-care diagnostic platform for the clinical diagnosis of liver cancer, achieving a low limit of detection (0.85 pg ml-1), high sensitivity, high selectivity, good stability, and excellent reproducibility.

Talanta 2022; 240:123212.

Abstract
In this work, a redox-graphene (Rx-Gr) film with electron-mediating ability has been integrated into a modular flexible pocket device, giving rise to a reusable biosensing platform. The Rx-Gr has been obtained in water from graphite taking advantage of catechin, a redox-antioxidant, able to assist the sonochemical layered-material exfoliation, conferring electron mediating feature. A film composed exclusively of Rx-Gr has been transferred via thermal rolling onto a flexible PET-support that was used as the biosensor base. The biosensing platform, composed of office-grade materials, was then fabricated using a cutter-plotter and assembled by thermal lamination; an interchangeable paper-based strip was used to host the enzymatic reaction and drive the capillary flow. An acetylcholinesterase-based inhibition assay has been optimized onboard the pocket device to determine chlorpyriphos, a widespread environmental pesticide. The proposed set-up allows the determination of chlorpyriphos at low overpotential (0.2 V) with satisfactory sensitivity (LOD = 0.2 ppb), thanks to the straightforward electroactivity of the Rx-Gr film towards thiocholine (enzymatic product). The modular design allows 5 consecutive complete inhibition assays (control + inhibition measure) retaining the performance (RSD = 5.4%; n = 5). The coupling of bench-top technologies and a new functional graphene film resulted in the development of a cost-effective, reusable, transportable, and within everyone's reach biosensing platform.

(+)-Catechin-assisted graphene production by sonochemical exfoliation in water. A new redox-active nanomaterial for electromediated sensing. Mikrochim Acta 2021; 188:369.

Abstract
A new green and effective sonochemical liquid-phase exfoliation (LPE) is proposed wherein a flavonoid compound, catechin (CT), promotes the formation of conductive, redox-active, water-phase stable graphene nanoflakes (GF). To maximize the GF-CT redox activity, the CT concentration and sonication time have been studied, and the best performing nanomaterial-fraction selected. Physicochemical and electrochemical methods have been employed to characterize the morphological, structural, and electrochemical features of the GF-CT nanoflakes. The obtained GF intercalated with CT exhibits fully reversible electrochemistry (ΔEp = 28 mV, ipa/ipc = ⁓1) because of the catecholic adducts. GF-CT-integrated electrochemistry was generated directly during LPE of graphite, with no need of graphene oxide production, nor activation steps, electropolymerization, or ex-post functionalization. The GF-CT electro-mediator ability has been proven towards hydrazine (HY) and β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) by simply drop-casting the redox-material onto screen-printed electrodes. GF-CT-based electrodes by using amperometry exhibited high sensitivity and extended linear ranges (HY: LOD = 0.1 µM, L.R. 0.5-150 µM; NADH: LOD = 0.6 µM, L.R. 2.5-200 µM) at low overpotential (+ 0.15 V) with no electrode fouling. The GF-CT electrodes are performing significantly better than commercial graphite electrodes and graphene nanoflakes exfoliated with a conventional surfactant, such as sodium cholate. Recoveries of 94-107% with RSD ≤ 8% (n = 3) for determination of HY and NADH in environmental and biological samples were achieved, proving the material functionality also in challenging analytical media. The presented GF-CT is a new functional redox-active material obtainable with a single-pot sustainable strategy, exhibiting standout properties particularly prone to (bio)sensors and cutting-edge device development.

Abstract
Detection of relevant contaminants using screening approaches is a key issue to ensure food safety and respect for the regulatory limits established. Electrochemical sensors present several advantages such as rapidity; ease of use; possibility of on-site analysis and low cost. The lack of selectivity for electrochemical sensors working in complex samples as food may be overcome by coupling them with molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). MIPs are synthetic materials that mimic biological receptors and are produced by the polymerization of functional monomers in presence of a target analyte. This paper critically reviews and discusses the recent progress in MIP-based electrochemical sensors for food safety. A brief introduction on MIPs and electrochemical sensors is given; followed by a discussion of the recent achievements for various MIPs-based electrochemical sensors for food contaminants analysis. Both electropolymerization and chemical synthesis of MIP-based electrochemical sensing are discussed as well as the relevant applications of MIPs used in sample preparation and then coupled to electrochemical analysis. Future perspectives and challenges have been eventually given.

Abstract
4-Substituted catechols with different CC bonds as urushiol analogues were synthesized through the a three-step route including reductive amination reaction of 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde with N-Boc-piperazine, Boc deprotection, and amidation with various fatty acids. Electrochemical polymerization of these analogues on a copper surface afforded robust coatings with desirable adhesive force, hydrophobicity and thermal stability. Cyclic voltammetry and infrared spectroscopic characterizations revealed that the coating formation of urushiol analogues resulted from the electrooxidation-induced radical coupling of phenoxyl radicals with a phenyl ring and the side chain CC bond. The coating of the urushiol analogue bearing only one side chain CC bond exhibited the best performance in copper corrosion inhibition, with an inhibition efficiency of 99.99% and long-term effect (99.9% after 4 weeks of immersion in 3.5 wt% NaCl). The desired performance of these urushiol analogues suggests that they could be of practical applications as an alternative to the resource-limited natural urushiol. Reductive amination reaction was achieved on a catechol ring, leading to urushiol analogues that could be electropolymerized with desirable urushiol-like performance.![]()

Abstract
An exponential increase of scientific works dealing with the use of polyphenol-rich 'natural products' for the synthesis of bioactive AgNPs is in progress. However, a lack of fundamental studies on phytochemical compounds involved, and their role is evident. In this work, a comprehensive study of the antifungal performances of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized exclusively with phenolic compounds (PCs) with different structures and different antioxidant capacity is presented. The experimental hypothesis is that AgNPs@PCs produced with different PCs can exert different toxicity. In particular, di-hydroxylic and tri-hydroxylic phenolic acids (caffeic acid and gallic acid) and flavonoids (catechin and myricetin) were compared. A room temperature rapid and simple AgNPs synthesis was carefully optimized, obtaining stable and reproducible colloids. AgNPs@PCs suspensions were characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, ς-potential, dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy. AgNPs@PCs radical scavenging capacity was also assessed. Finally, the AgNPs@PCs antifungal effect was tested against Aspergillus niger, particularly on spore germination and mycelial growth. The different antifungal activity was attributed to the different PCs' ability to generate/stabilize AgNPs with different shells, residual antioxidant capacity, and capacity to interact and aggregate during their 'attack' to A. niger hyphae. This work paves the way for the rational use of PCs and PCs rich-products for AgNPs-based applications.

Abstract
Antioxidants are essential in regulating various physiological functions and oxidative deterioration. Over the past decades, many researchers have paid attention to antioxidants and studied the screening of antioxidants from natural products and their utilization for treatments in diverse pathological conditions. Nowadays, as printing technology progresses, its influence in the field of biomedicine is growing significantly. The printing technology has many advantages. Especially, the capability of designing sophisticated platforms is useful to detect antioxidants in various samples. The high flexibility of 3D printing technology is advantageous to create geometries for customized patient treatment. Recently, there has been increasing use of antioxidant materials for this purpose. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in printing technology-based assays to detect antioxidants and 3D printing-based antioxidant therapy in the field of tissue engineering. This review is divided into two sections. The first section highlights colorimetric assays using the inkjet-printing methods and electrochemical assays using screen-printing techniques for the determination of antioxidants. Alternative screen-printing techniques, such as xurography, roller-pen writing, stamp contact printing, and laser-scribing, are described. The second section summarizes the recent literature that reports antioxidant-based therapy using 3D printing in skin therapeutics, tissue mimetic 3D cultures, and bone tissue engineering.

Class-selective voltammetric determination of hydroxycinnamic acids structural analogs using a WS 2/catechin-capped AuNPs/carbon black-based nanocomposite sensor. Mikrochim Acta 2020; 187:296.

Abstract
A high-performance screen-printed electrode (SPE) based nanocomposite sensor integrating tungsten disulfide (WS2) flakes decorated with catechin-capped gold nanoparticles (AuNP-CT) and carbon black (CB) has been developed. The excellent antifouling properties of WS2 decorated with AuNP-CT into a high conductivity network of CB results in high selectivity, sensitivity, and reproducibility for the simultaneous determination of hydroxycinnamic acid (hCN) structural analogs: caffeic (CF), sinapic (SP), and p-coumaric acids (CM). Using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), the target hCNs resulted in three well-resolved oxidation peaks at SPE-CB-WS2/AuNP-CT sensor. Excellent antifouling performance (RSD ip,a ≤ 3%, n = 15 for three analytes' simultaneous measure) and low detection limits (CF 0.10 μmol L-1; SP, 0.40 μmol L-1; CM, 0.40 μmol L-1) are obtained despite the analyzed compounds having a high passivation tendency towards carbon-based sensors. The SPE-CB-WS2/AuNP-CT sensor was successfully applied to determine CF, SP, and CM in food samples with good precision (RSD ≤ 4%, n = 3) and recoveries (86-109%; RSD ≤ 5%, n = 3). The proposed sensor is the first example exploiting the simultaneous determination of these compounds in food samples. Given its excellent electrochemical performance, low cost, disposability, and ease of use, this SPE-CB-WS2/AuNP-CT nanocomposite sensor represents a powerful candidate for the realization of electrochemical devices for the determination of (bio)compounds with high passivation tendency.
