Abstract
Early detection of cancer markers is critical for cancer diagnosis and cancer therapy since these markers may indicate cancer risk, incidence, and disease prognosis. Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a type of non-specific and broad-spectrum cancer biomarker commonly utilized for early cancer diagnosis. Moreover, it serves as an essential tool to assess the efficacy of cancer treatment and monitor tumor recurrence as well as metastasis, thus garnering significant attention for precise and sensitive CEA detection. In recent years, photoelectrochemical (PEC) techniques have emerged as prominent methods in CEA detection due to the advantages of PEC, such as simple equipment requirements, cost-effectiveness, high sensitivity, low interference from background signals, and easy of instrument miniaturization. Different signal amplification methods have been reported in PEC sensors for CEA analysis. Based on these, this article reviews PEC sensors based on various signal amplification strategies for detection of CEA during the last five years. The advantages and drawbacks of these sensors were discussed, as well as future challenges.

Abstract
Owing to the considerable potential of photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensors, they have gained significant attention in the analysis of biological, environmental, and food markers. However, the limited charge mass transfer efficiency and rapid recombination of electron hole pairs have become obstacles in the development of PEC sensors. In this case, considering the unique advantages of carbon-based materials, they can be used as photosensitizers, supporting materials and conductive substrates and coupled with semiconductors to prepare composite materials, solving the above problems. In addition, there are many types of carbon materials, which can have semiconductor properties and form heterojunctions after coupling with semiconductors, effectively promoting the separation of electron hole pairs. Herein, we aimed to provide a comprehensive analysis of reports on carbon-based PEC sensors by introducing their research and application status and discussing future development trends in this field. In particular, the types and performance improvement strategies of carbon-based electrodes and the working principles of carbon-based PEC sensors are explained. Furthermore, the applications of carbon-based photoelectric sensors in environmental monitoring, biomedicine, and food detection are highlighted. Finally, the current limitations in the research on carbon-based PEC sensors are emphasized and the need to enhance the sensitivity and selectivity through material modification, structural design, improved device performance, and other strategies are emphasized.

Abstract
Pesticides have become an integral part of modern agricultural practices, but their widespread use poses a significant threat to human health. As such, there is a pressing need to develop effective methods for detecting pesticides in food and environmental samples. Traditional chromatography methods and common rapid detection methods cannot satisfy accuracy, portability, long storage time, and solution stability at the same time. In recent years, photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing technology has gained attention as a promising approach for detecting various pesticides due to its salient advantages, including high sensitivity, low cost, simple operation, fast response, and easy miniaturization, thus becoming a competitive candidate for real-time and on-site monitoring of pesticide levels. This review provides an overview of the recent advancements in PEC methods for pesticide detection and their applications in ensuring food and environmental safety, with a focus on the categories of photoactive materials, from single semiconductor to semiconductor-semiconductor heterojunction, and signaling mechanisms of PEC sensing platforms, including oxidation of pesticides, steric hindrance, generation/decrease in sacrificial agents, and introduction/release of photoactive materials. Additionally, this review will offer insights into future prospects and confrontations, thereby contributing novel perspectives to this evolving domain.

Abstract
Novel Carbon quantum dots-graphite composite ink-based Screen-printed electrodes (CQDs/SPEs) were used to assemble a highly sensitive electrochemical aptasensor against chlorpyrifos (CPF). The aptasensor showed a broad linear range from 1 pM (0.445 ng/ml) to 500 nM (0.22 mg/ml) with a detection limit (LOD) 0.834 pM (0.37 ng/ml); sensitivity 21.39 μA pM-1 cm- 2 and with good linearity of R2 = 0.973. Moreover, the aptasensor's showed better selectivity among few other pesticides. Further, the aptasensor electrode showed high stability for five months when stored at 4 °C. In the final step, the aptasensor's ability to identify CPF in real samples was evaluated on spiked potato (Solanum tuberosum) extract samples. Potato extract spiked with CPF in the electrochemical aptasensing platform showed excellent linearity of R2 = 0.981. The developed aptasensor showed good response to without spiked potato extract with increasing volumes. Hence, the developed aptasensor demonstrated reasonable applicability in real food and agriculture samples.

Abstract
A photoelectrochemical biosensor for malate was developed using an indium tin oxide (ITO) layer deposited on a poly(ethylene terephthalate) plastic sheet as a transparent electrode material for the immobilization of malate dehydrogenase together with CdTe quantum dots. Different approaches were compared for the construction of the bioactive layer; the highest response was achieved by depositing malate dehydrogenase together with CdTe nanoparticles and covering it with a Nafion/water (1:1) mixture. The amperometric signal of this biosensor was recorded during irradiation with a near-UV LED in the flow-through mode. The limit of detection was 0.28 mmol/L, which is adequate for analyzing malic acid levels in drinks such as white wines and fruit juices. The results confirm that the cheap ITO layer deposited on the plastic sheet after cutting into rectangular electrodes allows for the economic production of photoelectrochemical (bio)sensors. The combination of NAD+-dependent malate dehydrogenase with quantum dots was also compatible with such an ITO surface.

AChE-based electrochemical biosensor for pesticide detection in vegetable oils: matrix effects and synergistic inhibition of the immobilized enzyme. Anal Bioanal Chem 2023; 415:615-625.

Abstract
Enzyme-based electrochemical biosensors have been widely deployed for the detection of a range of contaminants in different food products due to their significant advantages over other (bio)sensing techniques. Nevertheless, their performance is greatly affected by the sample matrix itself or by the matrix they are presented with in pretreated samples, both of which can impact the accuracy as well as the sensitivity of the measurements. Therefore, and in order to acquire reliable and accurate measurements, matrix effects and their influence on sensor performance should be taken into consideration. Herein, acetylcholinesterase (AChE)-modified electrochemical sensors were employed for the detection of pesticides in vegetable oils. Sensor interrogation with pretreated oil samples, spiked with carbofuran, revealed the inhibitory potential of the extracted matrix varies between different types of vegetable oil and their fatty acid content. In addition, synergies between the extracted matrix from different types of vegetable oils and the carbamate pesticide, carbofuran, were observed, which led to significant deviations of the sensor's performance from its anticipated behavior in buffered solution. Taking the aforementioned into consideration, appropriate calibration curves for each type of vegetable oil were drafted, which allowed for the highly reproducible determination of different pesticide concentrations in pretreated real samples. Collectively, a better understanding of AChE inhibition by single or multiple contaminants present in vegetable oils was gained, which can find many applications in numerous fields, ranging from sensor development to the design of new pesticides and medicinal products.

Abstract
Nanosheets of anatase TiO2 and CdS quantum dots modified with thioglycolic acid (TGA-CdS QDs) were prepared and hierarchically modified on the indium tin oxides (ITO) electrodes. The heterojunction structure is formed to improve the light capture ability and carrier migration, significantly enhancing the sensitivity of photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensors. Specific DNA sequences labeled with TGA-CdS QDs were placed on the electrodes to prepare a biosensor for the detection of chloramphenicol with ultrahigh selectivity. In addition, the heterojunction structure and the principle of photocurrent signal amplification on the electrode are described in detail. Under the optimal conditions, the photoelectrochemical biosensors showed good reproducibility and stability for chloramphenicol with a linear response in the range 10-10,000 pM and a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.23 pM. Due to the specific recognition of base pairs, the sensor has excellent anti-interference ability in practical applications. An effective method was developed for the accurate detection of antibiotics with far reaching prospects.

Abstract
Foodborne-related infections due to additives and pollutants pose a considerable task for food processing enterprises. Therefore, the competent, cost-effective, and quick investigation of nutrition additives and contaminants is essential to reduce the threat of public fitness problems. The electrochemical sensor (ECS) shows facile and potent analytical approaches desirable for food protection and quality inspection over traditional methods. The consequence of a broad display of nanomaterials has paved the path for their relevance in designing high-performance ECSs appliances for medical diagnostics and conditions and food protection. This review article has discussed the importance of electrochemical-based sensors amplified with carbon-based nanomaterials (CNMs). Initially, we have demonstrated the types of pharmaceutical and food/agriculture pollutants (such as pesticides, heavy metals, antibiotics and other medical drugs) present in water. Subsequently, we have compiled the information on electrochemical techniques (such as voltammetric and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy) and their crucial parameters for detecting pollutants. Further, the applications of CNMs for sensing pharmaceutical and food pollutants have been demonstrated in detail. Finally, the topic has been concluded with existing challenges and future prospects.

Homogeneous photoelectrochemical biosensor for sensitive detection of omethoate via ALP-mediated pesticide assay and Bi 2S 3@Bi 2Sn 2O 7 heterojunction as photoactive material. Anal Bioanal Chem 2022; 414:7277-7289. [PMID: 35984445 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-022-04279-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2022] [Revised: 08/01/2022] [Accepted: 08/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/01/2022]
Abstract
A simple homogeneous photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing platform based on an alkaline phosphatase (ALP)-mediated pesticide assay was established for the sensitive detection of omethoate (OM). The Bi2S3@Bi2Sn2O7 heterojunction was used as a photoactive material to provide stable background photocurrent signals. The inhibition of OM on ALP and PEC determination was carried out in the homogeneous system. In the absence of OM, dephosphorylation of L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate trisodium salt (AAP) was catalyzed by ALP to produce the enzyme-catalyzed product (L-ascorbic acid, AA). AA, as an electron donor, could capture photogenerated holes on the Bi2S3@Bi2Sn2O7 heterojunction, thus inhibiting the recombination of electron holes to achieve an increase of the photocurrent signal. When the OM was introduced, the enzyme activity of ALP was reduced due to the organophosphorus pesticides (OPs)-based enzyme inhibition, and the AA produced by catalytic hydrolysis was also reduced, thus reducing the photocurrent signal. Compared with the traditional PEC sensor for OPs, this homogeneous PEC sensor avoided immobilization procedures, covalent labeling, separation, and the steric hindrance effect caused by immobilized biomolecules, which achieved high recognition efficiency and caused a reduction in analysis time. Additionally, an ALP-mediated pesticide assay for the determination of OPs with a simplified experimental process further improved the stability and reproducibility of the PEC sensor. The PEC sensor showed high sensitivity to the target OM within a dynamic range of 0.05 ~ 500 ng mL-1, and the detection limit was 0.0146 ng mL-1. Additionally, the PEC biosensing system showed good selectivity and anti-interference ability, and exhibited a satisfactory result in spinach and mustard samples. A homogeneous PEC biosensor based on ALP inhibition strategy was constructed for OM detection in vegetable samples via Bi2S3@Bi2Sn2O7 heterojunction as the photoactive substrate material.

A systematic search was performed in the Scopus (n = 388), Web of Science (n = 790), and Science Direct (n = 181) databases over the period 2016–2021. After checking the eligibility criteria, 57 articles were considered in this study. The most common use of nanomaterials (NMs) in these selected studies is noble metals in isolation, such as gold and silver, with 8.47% and 6.68%, respectively, followed by carbon-based NMs, with 20.34%, and nanohybrids, with 47.45%, which combine two or more NMs, uniting unique properties of each material involved, especially the noble metals. Regarding the types of transducers, the most used were electrochemical, fluorescent, and colorimetric, representing 71.18%, 13.55%, and 8.47%, respectively. The sensitivity of the biosensor is directly connected to the choice of NM and transducer. All biosensors developed in the selected investigations had a limit of detection (LODs) lower than the Codex Alimentarius maximum residue limit and were efficient in detecting pesticides in food. The pesticides malathion, chlorpyrifos, and paraoxon have received the greatest attention for their effects on various food matrices, primarily fruits, vegetables, and their derivatives. Finally, we discuss studies that used biosensor detection systems devices and those that could detect multi-residues in the field as a low-cost and rapid technique, particularly in areas with limited resources.

Sensitive photoelectrochemical detection of colitoxin DNA based on NCDs@CuO/ZnO heterostructured nanocomposites with efficient separation capacity of photo-induced carriers. Mikrochim Acta 2022; 189:166. [PMID: 35355135 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-022-05280-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2021] [Accepted: 03/11/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
A metal-organic framework (MOF) of Cu-TPA (terephthalic acid) microsphere was prepared, followed by calcinating the MOF precursor of Cu-TPA/ZIF-8 mixture to obtain the CuO/ZnO. N-doped carbon dots (NCDs) were employed to combine the CuO/ZnO composite to form a tripartite heterostructured architecture of NCDs@CuO/ZnO, which led to a fierce enlargement of the photocurrent response. This was ascribed to the thinner-shell structure of the CuO microsphere and the fact that hollow ZnO particles could sharply promote the incidence intensity of visible light. The more porous defectiveness exposed on CuO/ZnO surface was in favor of rapidly infiltrating electrolyte ions. The p-n type CuO/ZnO composite with more contact interface could abridge the transfer distance of photo-induced electron (e-1)/hole (h+) pairs and repress their recombination availably. NCDs not only could boost electron transfer rate on the electrode interface but also successfully sensitized the CuO/ZnO composite, which resulted in high conversion efficiency of photon-to-electron. The probe DNA (S1) was firmly assembled on the modified ITO electrode surface (S1/NCDs@CuO/ZnO) through an amidation reaction. Under optimal conditions, the prepared DNA biosensor displayed a wide linear range of 1.0 × 10-6 ~ 7.5 × 10-1 nM and a low limit of detection (LOD) of 1.81 × 10-7 nM for colitoxin DNA (S2) measure, which exhibited a better photoelectrochemistry (PEC) analysis performance than that obtained by differential pulse voltammetry techniques. The relative standard deviation (RSD) of the sensing platform for target DNA detection of 5.0 × 10-2 nM was 6.3%. This proposed DNA biosensor also showed good selectivity, stability, and reproducibility, demonstrating that the well-designed and synthesized photoactive materials of NCDs@CuO/ZnO are promising candidates for PEC analysis.

Abstract
Serious threat from pesticide residues to the ecosystem and human health has become a global concern. Developing reliable methods for monitoring pesticides is a world-wide research hotspot. Carbon dots (CDs) with excellent photostability, low toxicity, and good biocompatibility have been regarded as the potential substitutes in fabricating various optical sensors for pesticide detection. Based on the relevant high-quality publications, this paper first summarizes the current state-of-the-art of the synthetic and modification approaches of CDs. Then, a comprehensive overview is given on the recent advances of CDs-based optical sensors for pesticides over the past five years, with a particular focus on photoluminescent, electrochemiluminescent and colorimetric sensors regarding the sensing mechanisms and design principles by integrating with various recognition elements including antibodies, aptamers, enzymes, molecularly imprinted polymers, and some nanoparticles. Novel functions and extended applications of CDs as signal indicators, catalyst, co-reactants, and electrode surface modifiers, in constructing optical sensors are specially highlighted. Beyond an assessment of the performances of the real-world application of these proposed optical sensors, the existing inadequacies and current challenges, as well as future perspectives for pesticide monitoring are discussed in detail. It is hoped to provide powerful insights for the development of novel CDs-based sensing strategies with their wide application in different fields for pesticide supervision.

An enhanced photoelectrochemical biosensor for colitoxin DNA based on HKUST-1/TiO 2 and derived HKUST-CuO/TiO 2 heterogeneous composites. Mikrochim Acta 2021; 188:328.

Abstract
HKUST-1 MOFs and its derivative HKUST-CuO were coupled with TiO2 nanoparticles to form the heterogeneous composites of HKUST-1/TiO2 and HKUST-CuO/TiO2 based on their well-suitable bandgap energies (Eg). Compared with mono-component HKUST-1 or HKUST-CuO, the prepared composites displayed photoelectrochemical (PEC) response due to the synergistic effect from their heterogeneous structure. Higher photocurrent response was obtained on HKUST-CuO/TiO2-modified ITO electrode (HKUST-CuO/TiO2/ITO), which could be attributed to the hollow structure with a thin shell of HKUST-CuO greatly enhancing visible spectra harvesting. The CuO component in HKUST-CuO not only could accelerate electron transfer on the heterojunction interface but also effectively separate the photo-generated charge carriers (e-1/h+). Based on the excellent PEC performance of prepared photoactive composite material, under visible-light excitation (λ ≥ 420 nm) and with a working potential of 0 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), the S1 (probe DNA)/HKUST-CuO/TiO2/ITO PEC platform was successfully fabricated for colitoxin DNA detection without using ascorbic acid (AA) as an electron donor. Compared with the analysis results on S1/HKUST-1/TiO2/ITO electrode, S1/HKUST-CuO/TiO2/ITO displayed a wider linear response range from 1.0 × 10-6 to 4.0 × 10-1 nM with a lower detection limit of 3.73 × 10-7 nM (S/N = 3), the linear regression equation was ΔI (10-6 A) =0.5549-0.1858 log (CS2/M), which confirmed the HKUST-CuO could improve sensitivity because of its prominent PEC property. The relative standard deviation (RSD) of the PEC sensor for target DNA detection of 2.0 × 10-4 nM was 7.4%. The proposed DNA biosensor also possessed good specificity and stability. Hence, this reported work was a promising strategy for molecular diagnosis in the bio-analysis field.

Abstract
Lysozyme (Lyz) is a naturally occurring enzyme that operates against Gram-positive bacteria and leads to cell death. This antimicrobial enzyme forms the part of the innate defense system of nearly all animals and exists in their somatic discharges such as milk, tears, saliva and urine. Increased Lyz level in serum is an important indication of several severe diseases and so, precise diagnosis of Lyz is an urgent need in biosensing assays. Up to know, various traditional and modern techniques have been introduced for Lyz determination. Although the traditional methods suffer from some significant limitations such as time-consuming, arduous, biochemical screening, bacterial colony isolation, selective enrichment and requiring sophisticated instrumentation or isotope labeling, some new modern approaches like aptamer-based biosensors (aptasensors) and quantum dot (QD) nanomaterials are the main goal in Lyz detection. Electrochemical and optical sensors have been highlighted because of their adaptability and capability to decrease the drawbacks of common methods. Using an aptamer-based biosensor, sensor selectivity is enhanced due to the specific recognition of the analyte. Thereby, in this review article, the recent advances and achievements in electrochemical and optical aptasensing detection of Lyz based on different QD nanomaterials and detection methods have been discussed in detail.

Abstract
A new photoelectrochemical enzyme biosensor based on an extended-gate field-effect transistor (EGFET) was constructed for the highly sensitive detection of glyphosate based on the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity by glyphosate. First, a two-step hydrothermal method was used to introduce ZnO and CdS onto an activated indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode to prepare a CdS/ZnO/ITO electrode. Then, AChE was immobilized on CdS/ZnO/ITO with chitosan to obtain an AChE/CdS/ZnO EGFET sensor. Under optimal experimental conditions, the logarithmic value of glyphosate in the range of 1.0 × 10-15-1.0 × 10-11 mol L-1 exhibited a good linear relationship with the photo-drain current response. The detection limit was 3.8 × 10-16 mol L-1 (signal-to-noise ratio = 3). The results show that the AChE/CdS/ZnO EGFET sensor has extremely high sensitivity and good selectivity. Moreover, the sensor was used for the determination of glyphosate in vegetables, demonstrating its application for the real-time detection of samples.

Abstract
Graphene and carbon quantum dots (GQDs and CQDs) are relatively new nanomaterials that have demonstrated impact in multiple different fields thanks to their unique quantum properties and excellent biocompatibility. Biosensing, analyte detection and monitoring wherein a key feature is coupled molecular recognition and signal transduction, is one such field that is being greatly advanced by the use of GQDs and CQDs. In this review, recent progress on the development of biotransducers and biosensors enabled by the creative use of GQDs and CQDs is reviewed, with special emphasis on how these materials specifically interface with biomolecules to improve overall analyte detection. This review also introduces nano-enabled biotransducers and different biosensing configurations and strategies, as well as highlights key properties of GQDs and CQDs that are pertinent to functional biotransducer design. Following relevant introductory material, the literature is surveyed with emphasis on work performed over the last 5 years. General comments and suggestions to advance the direction and potential of the field are included throughout the review. The strategic purpose is to inspire and guide future investigations into biosensor design for quality and safety, as well as serve as a primer for developing GQD- and CQD-based biosensors.

A self-powered aptasensor for prostate specific antigen (PSA) based on a membraneless photoelectrochemical fuel cell (PEFC) with double photoelectrodes was constructed, in which, PSA-binding aptamer was electrostatically immobilized on the KOH-doped g-C3N4 modified TiO2 nanotube arrays (TNA/A-g-C3N4/aptamer), which was used as a photoanode, and Fe3+-doped CuBi2O4 modified indium doped tin oxide (ITO) substrate (ITO/CBFeO) was used as a photocathode. Under visible light irradiation, glucose was photocatalytically oxidized by A-g-C3N4 and generated H2O2 in situ, which was used as the electron acceptor for ITO/CBFeO photocathode, thus producing a high cell output response with a maximum output power of 133.5 μW cm-2 and an open circuit potential of 0.98 V. Due to the specific recognition of PSA by the aptamer and the output power decrease of the PEFC caused by the steric hindrance of the captured PSA on the TNA/A-g-C3N4, the PEFC could be used as a self-powered aptasensor for PSA with a quantitative range of 0.005-50 ng mL-1, a low detection limit of 1.3 pg mL-1 and good selectivity, and has been successfully applied for the analysis of real human serum samples with good precision of the relative standard deviation (RSD) less than 5.6% and good accuracy of the recoveries ranged from 91% to 108%.

Abstract
Water is essential for every life living on the planet. However, we are facing a more serious situation such as water pollution since the industrial revolution. Fortunately, many efforts have been done to alleviate/restore water quality in freshwaters. Numerous sensors have been developed to monitor the dynamic change of water quality for ecological, early warning, and protection reasons. In the present review, we briefly introduced the pollution status of two major pollutants, i.e., pesticides and heavy metals, in freshwaters worldwide. Then, we collected data on the sensors applied to detect the two categories of pollutants in freshwaters. Special focuses were given on the sensitivity of sensors indicated by the limit of detection (LOD), sensor types, and applied waterbodies. Our results showed that most of the sensors can be applied for stream and river water. The average LOD was72.53±12.69 ng/ml (n=180) for all pesticides, which is significantly higher than that for heavy metals (65.36±47.51 ng/ml,n=117). However, the LODs of a considerable part of pesticides and heavy metal sensors were higher than the criterion maximum concentration for aquatic life or the maximum contaminant limit concentration for drinking water. For pesticide sensors, the average LODs did not differ among insecticides (63.83±17.42 ng/ml,n=87), herbicides (98.06±23.39 ng/ml,n=71), and fungicides (24.60±14.41 ng/ml,n=22). The LODs that differed among sensor types with biosensors had the highest sensitivity, while electrochemical optical and biooptical sensors showed the lowest sensitivity. The sensitivity of heavy metal sensors varied among heavy metals and sensor types. Most of the sensors were targeted on lead, cadmium, mercury, and copper using electrochemical methods. These results imply that future development of pesticides and heavy metal sensors should (1) enhance the sensitivity to meet the requirements for the protection of aquatic ecosystems and human health and (2) cover more diverse pesticides and heavy metals especially those toxic pollutants that are widely used and frequently been detected in freshwaters (e.g., glyphosate, fungicides, zinc, chromium, and arsenic).

Abstract
Energy and water are the two major issues facing the modern mankind. Providing freshwater requires energy and producing energy uses water. In the present-day scenario, both these routes face growing problems and limitations. Energy crisis has risen due to the depletion of fossil fuels that cause pollution to water bodies making the water unusable for human consumption. In this regard, semiconductor nanocrystals with luminescent properties or carbon quantum dots (CQDs) are the newly developed nanomaterials whose distinctive photo-physical characteristics are focusing to a new generation of robust materials and sensors for sustainable development. In this review, advances in surface and band gap modification of CQDs to improve the activity of nanomaterials will be discussed with special reference to some specific CQDs exhibiting special optical properties for water treatment/splitting applications. Recent advances on CQDs nanocomposites including their applications in photodegradation of organic pollutants, sensing of heavy metal ions in water and water splitting are discussed critically to narrate the future prospects in this field. Challenges and limitations for further improvement are covered to provide smart choices for creating sustainability of benign environment and economic benefits.

Abstract
Carbon and graphene quantum dots (CQDs and GQDs), known as zero-dimensional (0D) nanomaterials, have been attracting increasing attention in sensing and bioimaging. Their unique electronic, fluorescent, photoluminescent, chemiluminescent, and electrochemiluminescent properties are what gives them potential in sensing. In this Review, we summarize the basic knowledge on CQDs and GQDs before focusing on their application to sensing thus far followed by a discussion of future directions for research into CQDs- and GQD-based nanomaterials in sensing. With regard to the latter, the authors suggest that with the potential of these nanomaterials in sensing more research is needed on understanding their optical properties and why the synthetic methods influence their properties so much, into methods of surface functionalization that provide greater selectivity in sensing and into new sensing concepts that utilize the virtues of these nanomaterials to give us new or better sensors that could not be achieved in other ways.
