Abstract
Enhanced thermal, chemical, and mechanical properties of different metal nanoparticle morphologies integrated with metal oxides have been reported in multiple instances. The chemical and material robustness of metal nanoparticles incorporated surficially and into the bulk of distinct as well as spontaneously formed morphologies of metal oxides through solution-based and microwave-based approaches are investigated in this study. These composites were tested for their chemical and material robustness by exposing films formed on quartz substrates to high temperatures (800 °C) in an air ambient as well as to extreme conditions of pH, often encountered in harsh environment applications such as sensing and catalysis. The changes in the optical properties and crystallinity have been studied using in situ absorption and ex situ X-ray diffraction analyses and electron microscopy. The trends observed with respect to the changes in the plasmonic absorbance were validated theoretically and found to be in reasonable agreement with the experimental data. Confirmations of the phenomena occurring in different morphologies and architectures were thereby corroborated through careful interpretations from experiments and predictions from theoretical models. We, therefore, report a simple solution-based process for achieving engineered harsh environment-compatible nanocomposites through studies specifically tailored for such applications such as catalysis, sensing, energy storage, and enhanced luminescence.

Abstract
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is inextricably linked to various diseases, including liver cancer. Thus, detecting the content of AFP in biology has great significance in diagnosis, treatment, and intervention. Motivated by the urgent need for affordable and convenient electronic sensors in the analysis and detection of aqueous biological samples, we combined the solution-gated graphene transistor (SGGT) with the catalytic reaction of enzyme nanoprobes (HRP-AuNPs-Ab2) to accurately sense AFP. The SGGT immunosensor demonstrated high specificity and stability, excellent selectivity, and excessive linearity over a range of 4 ng/mL to 500 ng/mL, with the lower detection limit down to 1.03 ng/mL. Finally, clinical samples were successfully detected by the SGGT immunosensor, and the results were consistent with chemiluminescence methods that are popular in hospitals for detecting AFP. Notably, the SGGT immunosensor is also recyclable, so it has excellent potential for use in high-throughput detection.

Novel graphene electrochemical transistors incorporating zirconia inorganic molecular imprinted layer:Design, construction and application for highly sensitive and selective detection of acetaminophen.

Abstract
Owing to their intrinsic amplifying effect together with chemical stability, graphene electrochemical transistor sensors (GECTs) are gaining momentum for sensing applications. However, the surface of GECTs for different detection substances must be modified with different recognition molecules, which was cumbersome and lack a universal method. Molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) is a kind of polymer with specific recognition function for given molecules. Here, MIP and GECTs were combined to effectively solve the problem of weak selectivity of GECTs, and achieve the high sensitivity and selectivity of MIP-GECTs equipment in detecting acetaminophen (AP) in complex urine environment. A novel molecular imprinting sensor based on Au nanoparticles modified zirconia (ZrO2) inorganic molecular imprinting membrane on reduced graphene oxide (ZrO2-MIP-Au/rGO) was proposed. ZrO2-MIP-Au/rGO was synthesized by one-step electropolymerization using AP as template, ZrO2 precursor as the functional monomer. The -OH group on ZrO2 and the -OH/-CONH- group on AP were easily bonded by hydrogen bonding to form a MIP layer on the surface, which allows the sensor to have a large number of imprinted cavities for AP specific adsorption. As a proof of method, the GECTs based on ZrO2-MIP-Au/rGO functional gate electrode has the characteristics of wide linear range (0.1 nM-4 mM), low detection limit (0.1 nM) and high selectivity for AP detection. These achievements highlight the introduction of specific and selective MIP to GECTs with unique amplification function, which could effectively solve the problem of selectivity of GECTs in complex environments, suggesting the potential of MIP-GECTs in real-time diagnosis.

Abstract
Developing electrode materials with excellent electrocatalytic properties for detecting pesticide residues plays a vital role in the safety of agricultural products and environmental applications. Herein, we designed a new electrochemical sensor on the basis of N-doped carbon hollow nanospheres modified with Sn/MoC Schottky junction (Sn/MoC@NC) for methyl parathion (MP) detection. The Sn/MoC@NC was prepared by self-assembled polymerization-anchoring strategy and high-temperature carbonization design. Sn/MoC Schottky junction and hollow nanosphere structure endow Sn/MoC@NC with a larger surface area, more active sites, and faster electron transfer, which is beneficial to enhancing its electrocatalytic performance. The structural characterizations and physicochemical properties of Sn/MoC@NC were explored through various microscopy, spectroscopic and electrochemical techniques. The experimental results confirmed that the calibration curve for current and MP concentration (0.05-10 μg/mL) was available under optimized conditions, and the sensitivity and detection limit were respectively determined to be 9.02 μA μM1 cm2 and 8.9 ng/mL. Furthermore, the constructed sensor displayed excellent selectivity, repeatability, and stability, which qualified it for use in detecting MP in grapes and tap water with satisfactory recovery. This work may provide some interesting prospects for constructing high-performance electrocatalysts for MP detection.

Abstract
With the rapid development of wearable electronic devices, health monitoring is undergoing a fundamental shift from hospital-centered treatment to patient-centered diagnosis. Solution-gated graphene transistors provide an effective platform for developing high-sensitivity wearable devices due to their unique signal amplification, low energy consumption, and compatibility for miniaturization. However, it is still a major challenge to perform real-time sweat composition monitoring directly on the dry skin surface. In this work, a skin-based flexible gel electrolyte graphene transistor (GEGT) was successfully designed and fabricated for glucose detection, consisting of a gate electrode decorated with Au nanoparticles modified reduced graphene oxide (AuNPs/RGO) nanocomposites and a monolayer graphene channel. Glycerin gel was used to replace the traditional liquid electrolyte, not only could better fit the human skin, but also play the role of fluid collection, providing stable testing conditions for the sensor. Based on the high electron mobility of graphene channel and the excellent electrocatalytic performance of AuNPs/RGO nanocomposites, the constructed GEGT sensor exhibits excellent sensing performance for glucose with good selectivity, low operating voltage (0.5 V), wide detection range (10 nM - 25 mM), and low detection limit (10 nM). The device maintains stable performance after up to 1000 bending cycles with a bending radius of 4 mm. In addition, the GEGT sensor displays good accuracy in sweat detection and sensitive dynamic response during actual wearing, which provides a guarantee for the construction of wearable transistor devices and real-time health tracking.

Abstract
Pesticide testing is an important topic in environmental protection and food safety. The development of green, accurate and reliable pesticide residue detection methods is an important technical support for implementing of agricultural quality supervision. Electrochemical sensors are a very promising analytical method for pesticide detection due to their high sensitivity, speed, low cost and portability. Performance enhancement of electrochemical sensors is often accompanied by research advances in materials science. Among them, carbon material is a very important electrode material for the fabrication of electrochemical sensors. The discovery of graphene makes it the most promising candidate among carbon materials for sensor performance enhancement. The topic of this review is the use of graphene-modified electrochemical sensors for pesticide detection in the last decade. Traditional literature summaries and bibliometric analyses were used for an in-depth analysis of this topic. In addition to the introduction of different sensor types and performance comparisons, this review also parses the authors' country, keywords and publication frequency. The related research experienced rapid growth several years ago and has now reached a relatively stable stage. We also discuss the perspectives on this topic.

Abstract
A hydrophobic carboxyl functionalized phosphonium-based ionic liquid (IL) ((5-carboxypentyl) triphenylphosphonium bis (trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl) amide, TPP-HA[TFSI]) was synthesized through a simple hydrothermal approach. Based on the π-π and cation-π interactions with multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), a TPP-HA[TFSI]@MWCNTs hybrid was prepared to immobilize hemoglobin (Hb) to fabricate a simple and effective electrochemical sensing platform for the detection of methyl parathion (MP) in vegetables. Spectroscopic and electrochemical results show that TPP-HA[TFSI]@MWCNTs substrate synergistically provided a good biocompatible microenvironment for Hb, and the hydrophobicity of TPP-HA[TFSI] and the π-π interaction and hydrogen bonding between TPP-HA[TFSI]@MWCNTs, Hb and nafion (NF) were conducive to maintain the stability and integrity of the modified electrode interface. The TPP-HA[TFSI]@MWCNTs with large surface area and high conductivity promoted the exposure of the electroactive center of Hb and the direct electron transfer between Hb and the electrode, which effectively amplified the electrochemical signal and improved the sensitivity of MP detection. The constructed electrochemical sensing platform had a wider linear range (2-14 ng mL-1) and a lower detection limit (0.62 ng mL-1) for MP, and had acceptable repeatability, reproducibility, stability and anti-interference ability. This results indicated that the phosphonium-based ILs functionalized MWCNTs was an effective substrate for the immobilization of biological components, which have broad prospect in the construction of electrochemical sensing interfaces.

Au-PEDOT/rGO nanocomposites functionalized graphene electrochemical transistor for ultra-sensitive detection of acetaminophen in human urine. Anal Chim Acta 2022; 1191:339306.

Abstract
A novel graphene electrochemical transistor (GECT) sensor based on Au-poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/reduced graphene oxide (Au-PEDOT/rGO) nanocomposites functionalized the gate electrode and monolayer graphene as channel was proposed and constructed for the ultra-sensitive detection of acetaminophen (AP). Au-PEDOT/rGO nanocomposites were synthesized by a simple one-pot method to modify the gate electrode of GECT. With the high catalytic activity of Au nanoparticles, the good conductivity and stability of PEDOT, the large specific surface area and abundant adhesion sites of rGO, the sensitivity and stability of the device for AP detection could be effectively improved. The sensing mechanism of the device was that the electrochemical reactions of the AP on the surface of gate electrode causes the effective gate voltage on the GECT to change, thereby adjusting the carrier concentration and current of the graphene channel. Combined with the excellent catalytic properties of Au-PEDOT/rGO nanocomposites and the high carrier mobility of the graphene channel, the resulting device has remarkable sensing performance for AP, with a detection limit as low as 1 nM and a linear range from 1 nM to 8 mM. In addition, the device has good anti-interference ability and accuracy in the detection of AP in urine samples and tablets, which proved that it could be used to determine AP in human non-invasive and pharmaceutical products. The GECT sensor based on Au-PEDOT/rGO provides an efficient, sensitive and cost-effective sensing platform for AP detection, and is expected to realize in vitro diagnosis of diseases.

Abstract
Herein, a cost-effective and scalable ultrasound assisted approach was proposed to prepare the nanocomposite of halloysite nanotubes/zirconia/carbon black (Hal/ZrO2/CB), which was used to fabricate a novel electrochemical sensor for the highly sensitive determination of methyl parathion (MP). In the Hal/ZrO2/CB nanocomposite, Hal with large specific surface area and numerous active sites could enhance the adsorption capacity and accelerate the redox reaction of MP; ZrO2 nanoparticles with high affinity toward the phosphate group could contribute to good recognition performance for MP; CB nanoparticles with good dispersibility formed an interconnected pearl-chain-like conductive network. Benefitting from the synergistic effect of the three components, the Hal/ZrO2/CB/GCE (glassy carbon electrode) sensor showed a remarkably low detection limit of 5.23 nM in a good linear MP detection range of 0.01-10 μM. The Hal/ZrO2/CB/GCE sensor possessed a pretty decent practicality with satisfactory RSD and recovery results for the determination of MP in peach, pear, and apple juices. Therefore, the Hal/ZrO2/CB/GCE sensor has important implication on the quite sensitive detection of MP.
