Abstract
Herein, we demonstrate the first example of a novel electrocatalytic hybrid system (CoTPP-PZSNT) with a push-pull motif to boost hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity. CoTPP-PZSNT exhibits an efficient HER activity, with overpotentials of 157 and 109 mV at 10 mA cm-2 in 1.0 M KOH and 0.5 M H2SO4 solutions, respectively. The HER performance of CoTPP-PZSNT outperforms many previously reported HER catalysts, due to efficient charge transfer between each component.

Rapid determination of geographical authenticity and pungency intensity of the red Sichuan pepper (Zanthoxylum bungeanum) using differential pulse voltammetry and machine learning algorithms. Food Chem 2024; 439:137978. [PMID: 38048663 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.137978] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2023] [Revised: 11/03/2023] [Accepted: 11/11/2023] [Indexed: 12/06/2023]
Abstract
The development of an analytical method for assessing pungency intensity and determining geographical origins is crucial for evaluating the quality of visually similar Zanthoxylum bungeanum pericarp (PZB). This study analyzed 210 PZB samples from 14 origins across China, focusing on origin adulteration identification and pungency intensity using a combination of differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and machine learning algorithms. The artificial neural network (ANN) and K-nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithms provided the highest accuracy in origin identification (100 %) and adulteration detection (97.9 %) respectively. Moreover, the ANN excelled in predicting pungency intensity (R2 = 0.918). Assessment via feature importance analysis of DPV features revealed that segments of polyphenols (0.34-0.52 V and 1.0-1.2 V) and alkylamides (1.0-1.2 V) contributed significantly to the PZB pungency intensity. These findings highlight the potential of DPV as a reliable method for assessing the quality of PZB, and offer a promising solution for ensuring the geographical authenticity of this important crop.

Abstract
Owing to their advantages such as great specificity, sensitivity, rapidity, and possibility of noninvasive and real-time monitoring, electrochemical cell-based biosensors (ECBBs) have been a powerful tool for food analysis encompassing the areas of nutrition, flavor, and safety. Notably, the distinctive biological relevance of ECBBs enables them to mimic physiological environments and reflect cellular behaviors, leading to valuable insights into the biological function of target components in food. Compared with previous reviews, this review fills the current gap in the narrative of ECBB construction strategies. The review commences by providing an overview of the materials and configuration of ECBBs, including cell types, cell immobilization strategies, electrode modification materials, and electrochemical sensing types. Subsequently, a detailed discussion is presented on the fabrication strategies of ECBBs in food analysis applications, which are categorized based on distinct signal sources. Lastly, we summarize the merits, drawbacks, and application scope of these diverse strategies, and discuss the current challenges and future perspectives of ECBBs. Consequently, this review provides guidance for the design of ECBBs with specific functions and promotes the application of ECBBs in food analysis.

Abstract
This Review provides a comprehensive overview of 3D printing techniques to fabricate implantable microelectrodes for the electrochemical detection of biomarkers in the early diagnosis of cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. Early diagnosis of these diseases is crucial to improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare systems' burden. Biomarkers serve as measurable indicators of these diseases, and implantable microelectrodes offer a promising tool for their electrochemical detection. Here, we discuss various 3D printing techniques, including stereolithography (SLA), digital light processing (DLP), fused deposition modeling (FDM), selective laser sintering (SLS), and two-photon polymerization (2PP), highlighting their advantages and limitations in microelectrode fabrication. We also explore the materials used in constructing implantable microelectrodes, emphasizing their biocompatibility and biodegradation properties. The principles of electrochemical detection and the types of sensors utilized are examined, with a focus on their applications in detecting biomarkers for cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. Finally, we address the current challenges and future perspectives in the field of 3D-printed implantable microelectrodes, emphasizing their potential for improving early diagnosis and personalized treatment strategies.
