Abstract
Immobilization-free sensors (IFSs), with no requirement of fixing the recognition element to the electrode surface, have received increasing attention due to their unique advantages of reusable electrodes, not being limited by the load of the recognition element, and not being easily changed to the structure of the probe. In the present work, an effective visible light-driven immobilization-free photoelectric aptasensor for ultrasensitive detection of atrazine (ATZ) was proposed based on a reusable BiOBr/Ag NP substrate electrode with ultrafast charge transfer. Controllable thiols were used as conditioning agents for the photoelectric signal. The ingeniously designed bifunctional graphene can act as not only a molecular "bridge" for the ATZ aptamer through a strong π-π stacking effect, obtaining a graphene-aptamer complex, serving as a homogeneous recognition element, but also a switch for signal modulation for quantitative detection of target substances. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of the above-mentioned factors, the proposed sensor is capable of ultrasensitive and highly selective detection of ATZ in real water samples with a low detection limit of 1.2 pM and a wide linear range from 5.0 pM to 10.0 nM. Furthermore, it shows high stability, good selectivity, and strong anti-interference ability. Thus, this work has provided a fresh perspective for designing advanced immobilization-free photoelectric sensors and convenient detection of environmental pollutants.

Abstract
In this work, we report a novel method for the label-free detection of cyanotoxin molecules based on a direct assay utilizing a graphene-modified surface plasmon resonance (SPR) aptasensor. Molecular dynamic simulation of the aptamer's interaction with cylindrospermopsin (CYN) reveals the strongest binding sites between C18-C26 pairs. To modify the SPR sensor, the wet transfer method of CVD monolayer graphene was used. For the first time, we report the use of graphene functionalized by an aptamer as a bioreceptor in conjunction with SPR for the detection of CYN. In a direct assay with an anti-CYN aptamer, we demonstrated a noticeable change in the optical signal in response to the concentrations far below the maximum tolerable level of 1 µg/L and high specificity.

Abstract
Cancer is a leading cause of death globally and early diagnosis is of paramount importance for identifying appropriate treatment pathways to improve cancer patient survival. However, conventional methods for cancer detection such as biopsy, CT scan, magnetic resonance imaging, endoscopy, X-ray and ultrasound are limited and not efficient for early cancer detection. Advancements in molecular technology have enabled the identification of various cancer biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis of the deadly disease. The detection of these biomarkers can be done by biosensors. Biosensors are less time consuming compared to conventional methods and has the potential to detect cancer at an earlier stage. Compared to conventional biosensors, photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensors have improved selectivity and sensitivity and is a suitable tool for detecting cancer agents. Recently, 2D carbon materials have gained interest as a PEC sensing platform due to their high surface area and ease of surface modifications for improved electrical transfer and attachment of biorecognition elements. This review will focus on the development of 2D carbon nanomaterials as electrode platform in PEC biosensors for the detection of cancer biomarkers. The working principles, biorecognition strategies and key parameters that influence the performance of the biosensors will be critically discussed. In addition, the potential application of PEC biosensor in clinical settings will also be explored, providing insights into the future perspective and challenges of exploiting PEC biosensors for cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Prominent electrochemiluminescence (ECL) in Ti-Fe-O nanotube arrays (Ti-Fe-O NTs) with K2S2O8 as the cathode coreactant is reported for the first time. Compared with pure titanium dioxide nanotubes (TiO2 NTs), this heterojunction could effectively reduce the band gap, facilitate electronic transitions, and move the ECL potential to a positive direction. The ECL performance motivated the development of an ultrasensitive ECL immunosensor for detecting cytokeratin fragment 21-1 (CYFRA21-1). Magnetic beads loaded with conductive carbon black (CCB/MNTs) were used to efficiently quench the ECL signal of a Ti-Fe-O NTs electrode and were combined with an ECL immunoassay to realize sensitive detection of CYFRA21-1. Over a CYFRA21-1 concentration range of 1.0 pg·mL-1 ~ 100 ng·mL-1, the change in the ECL signal was highly linear with the logarithm of the CYFRA21-1 concentration, and the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.114 pg·mL-1. This ECL immunosensor was used to successfully determine the CYFRA21-1 content in serum. The recovery of CYFRA21-1 in actual serum was 88.6 - 104.4%, and the RSD was 1.4 - 3.0%. The coreaction solution used in this work was PBS (0.1 M, pH = 7.4) containing 0.05 M K2S2O8, the scanning range was -1.0 - 0 V, the photomultiplier tube (PMT) was set to 750 V, and the scanning rate was 100 mV·s-1.

Abstract
Purification and detection of algal toxins is the most effective technique to ensure that people have clean and safe drinking water. To achieve these objectives, various state-of-the-art technologies were designed and fabricated to decontaminate and detect algal toxins in aquatic environments. Amongst these technologies, aptamer-functionalized hybrid nanomaterials conjugates have received significant consideration as a result of their several benefits over other methods, such as good controllable selectivity, low immunogenicity, and biocompatibility. Because of their excellent properties, aptamer-functionalized hybrid nanomaterials conjugates are one of several remarkable agents. Several isolated aptamer sequences for algal toxins are addressed in this review, as well as aptasensor and decontamination aptamer functionalized metal nanoparticle-derived hybrid nanocomposites applications. In addition, we present diverse aptamer-functionalized hybrid nanomaterial conjugates designs and their applications for sensing and decontamination.

Abstract
Current advances in constructing functional nanomaterials and elegantly designed nanostructures have opened up new possibilities for the fabrication of viable field biosensors. Two-dimensional materials (2DMs) have fascinated much attention due to their chemical, optical, physicochemical, and electronic properties. They are ultrathin nanomaterials with unique properties such as high surface-to-volume ratio, surface charge, shape, high anisotropy, and adjustable chemical functionality. 2DMs such as graphene-based 2D materials, Silicate clays, layered double hydroxides (LDHs), MXenes, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), and transition metal oxides (TMOs) offer intensified physicochemical and biological functionality and have proven to be very promising candidates for biological applications and technologies. 2DMs have a multivalent structure that can easily bind to single-stranded DNA/RNA (aptamers) through covalent, non-covalent, hydrogen bond, and π-stacking interactions, whereas aptamers have a small size, excellent chemical stability, and low immunogenicity with high affinity and specificity. This review discussed the potential of various 2D material-based aptasensor for diagnostic applications, e.g., protein detection, environmental monitoring, pathogens detection, etc.

Abstract
We describe the preparation and characterization of an aptamer-based electrochemical sensor to lung cancer tumor markers in human blood. The highly reproducible aptamer sensing layer with a high density (up to 70% coverage) on the gold electrode was made. Electrochemical methods and confocal laser scanning microscopy were used to study the stability of the aptamer layer structure and binding ability. A new blocking agent, a thiolated oligonucleotide with an unrelated sequence, was applied to fill the aptamer layer’s defects. Electrochemical aptasensor signal processing was enhanced using deep learning and computer simulation of the experimental data array. It was found that the combinations (coupled and tripled) of cyclic voltammogram features allowed for distinguishing between the samples from lung cancer patients and healthy candidates with a mean accuracy of 0.73. The capacitive component from the non-Faradic electrochemical impedance spectroscopy data indicated the tumor marker’s presence in a sample. These findings allowed for the creation of highly informative aptasensors for early lung cancer diagnostics.

Abstract
In this work, a label-free nonenzymatic photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor is successfully developed for the detection of a typical pollutant, microcystin-LR (MC-LR), based on a visible-light-responsive alloy oxide, with highly ordered and vertically aligned Ti-Fe-O nanotubes (NTs) as substrates. Ti-Fe-O NTs consisting mainly of TiO2 and atomically doped Fe2O3 are in situ prepared on a Ti-Fe alloy by electrochemical anodic oxidation. Using a simple electrochemical deposition technique, reduced graphene oxide (RGO) could be grown onto Ti-Fe-O NTs, exhibiting significant bifunctions. It not only provides an ideal microenvironment for functionalization of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) on the surface but also serves as the PEC signal amplification element because of its outstanding conductivity for photons and electrons. The designed MIP/RGO/Ti-Fe-O NT PEC sensor exhibits high sensitivity toward MC-LR with a limit of detection as low as 10 pM. High selectivity toward MC-LR is also proven for the sensor. A promising detection platform not only for MC-LR but also for other pollutants has therefore been provided.

Abstract
Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) generated by cyanobacteria is a kind of potent hepatotoxin, which poses a considerable threat to human health. In the research field of MC-LR removal, the quantitative analysis in a wide concentration range of samples is inevitable. In this paper, we presented the pseudo united use of an Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-MS) and High Performance Liquid Chromatography system with a Variable Wavelength Ultraviolet Detector (HPLC-VWD) approach to detect MC-LR. The UPLC-MS system was applied to determine MC-LR in trace concentration because of its high sensitivity. However, it is generally believed that the determination of high concentration samples by UPLC-MS will cause problems such as inaccurate quantification and contamination of ion sources. In consequence, the HPLC-VWD was employed to determine the high concentration of MC-LR. The sensitivity, precision and accuracy of the two methods were compared in detail. The linear ranges of UPLC-MS and HPLC-VWD methods were from 0.08 to 10 μg L−1 and 1 to 5000 μg L−1, respectively. The detection and quantification limits of UPLC-MS were 0.03–0.05 μg L−1 and 0.08 μg L−1, and the corresponding two values of HPLC-VWD were 0.6 and 1.0 μg L−1. The recoveries of UPLC-MS and HPLC-VWD were 88.5–106.7% and 98.7–101.6%, with the relative standard deviations of 3.72–5.45% and 0.38–1.69%, respectively. The potential adsorption properties of MC-LR on filter membranes with diverse materials and pore sizes were evaluated and the negative results were obtained. The detection of MC-LR by UPLC-MS was free from matrix effects. The presented UPLC-MS and HPLC-VWD methods were used to analyze the water samples from Erhai Lake, which is located in Dali, Yunnan, China. The results of UPLC-MS analysis indicated that the MC-LR was only identified in water samples of Shuanglang Bay and Xier River, with concentrations of 0.120 and 0.303 μg L−1, whereas MC-LR was not detected by HPLC-VWD. UPLC-MS and HPLC-VWD methods were used together for MC-LR determination in a wide concentration range. UPLC-MS can be applied in trace MC-LR determination, whereas HPLC-VWD is more suitable for high concentration range detection.![]()

Abstract
Microcystins (MCs) and nodularin (NOD) are tumor promoters produced by cyanobacteria and present in surface water. In this work, a novel mesoporous metal-organic framework-5@chitosan (MOF-5@CS) material was synthesized and applied for the enrichment of MCs and NOD in water and fish samples. The mesoporous MOF-5@CS material was firstly synthesized via a one-step hydrothermal method, and the chitosan was combined with MOF-5 via chemical bonding assembly. As a new adsorbent, the as-synthesized material was found having a large specific surface area and good thermal stability. Under the optimized conditions, MCs and NOD were enriched by the MOF-5@CS material and detected by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The limit of detection of the new method for MCs and NOD were in the range of 0.0018-0.077 ng/mL. The value of relative standard deviation for repeatability were 2.69-6.30%, and the recovery of the analytes ranged from 84.36% to 118.51%. Compared with other reported method for MCs and NOD detection in complex matrices, better adsorption performance for MCs and NOD were obtained by our new method, and the sensitivity of MCs-RR and NOD were improved nearly 20 times and 30 times, respectively.

Abstract
Toxins are one of the major threatening factors to human and animal health, as well as economic growth. There is therefore an urgent demand from various communities to develop novel analytical methods for the sensitive detection of toxins in complex matrixes. Among the as-developed toxin detection strategies, nanocomposite-based aptamer sensors (termed as aptasensors) show tremendous potential for combating toxin pollution; in particular electrochemical (EC) aptasensors have received significant attention because of their unique advantages, including simplicity, rapidness, high sensitivity, low cost and suitability for field-testing. This paper reviewed the recently published approaches for the development of nanocomposite-/nanomaterial-based EC aptasensors for the detection of toxins with high assaying performance, and their potential applications in environmental monitoring, clinical diagnostics, and food safety control by summarizing the detection of different types of toxins, including fungal mycotoxins, algal toxins and bacterial enterotoxins. The effects of nanocomposite properties on the detection performance of EC aptasensors have been fully addressed for supplying readers with a comprehensive understanding of their improvement. The current technical challenges and future prospects of this subject have also been discussed.

Abstract
Cyanotoxins are produced by the toxic cyanobacterial species present in algal blooms formed in water bodies due to nutrient over-enrichment by human influences and natural environmental conditions. Extensive studies are available on the most widely encountered cyanotoxins, microcystins (MCs) in fresh and brackish water bodies. MC contaminated water poses severe risks to human health, environmental sustainability, and aquatic life. Therefore, commonly occurring MCs should be monitored. Occasionally, detection and quantification of these toxins are difficult due to the unavailability of pure standards. Enzymatic, immunological assays, and analytical techniques like protein phosphatase inhibition assay, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, high-performance liquid chromatography, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and biosensors are used for their detection and quantification. There is no single method for the detection of all the different types of MCs; therefore, various techniques are often combined to yield reliable results. Biosensor development offered a problem-solving approach in the detection of MCs due to their high accuracy, sensitivity, rapid response, and portability. In this review, an endeavor has been made to uncover emerging techniques used for the detection and quantification of the MCs.
