Abstract
BACKGROUND Fentanyl and its derivatives are a type of potent opioid analgesics, with the characteristics of diverse structure, high toxicity, extremely low content, and high fatality rate. Currently, they have become one of the most serious problems in international drug abuse control due to their extensive use in drug production and use. Therefore, the development of a rapid, sensitive, and accurate method for detecting trace fentanyl is of great significance. In this study, in view of its complex structure and trace concentration, a new molecular imprinting electrochemical sensor was developed through molecular simulations followed by experimental validation to detect trace fentanyl. RESULTS The process consisted of first obtaining the optimal functional monomer and its molar ratio through molecular simulations. The recognition sites of fentanyl-imprinted polymers were predicted to guide the synthesis of imprinted membranes with precision approach to ensure an efficient and accurate reaction process. Reduced graphene oxide (ErGO) was then deposited on glassy carbon electrode surface by electrochemical reduction to yield large numbers of active sites suitable for catalyzing reactions of fentanyl piperidine for promoted efficient electron transfer and amplified sensitivity of the sensor. Accordingly, fentanyl molecularly imprinted film was formed through one-step electropolymerization to yield greatly improved sensing selectivity due to the specific recognition of molecularly imprinted polymer. Under optimal experimental conditions, the fentanyl sensor showed an extended detection range of 3.84 × 10-9 mol L-1-1.72 × 10-6 mol L-1 and a detection limit of 1.28 × 10-9 mol L-1. SIGNIFICANCE A distinctive feature of this sensor is its molecularly imprinted polymerized membrane, which offers excellent specific recognition, thereby boosting the sensor's selectivity. Throughout the sensor's development process, molecular simulations were employed to steer the synthesis of molecularly imprinted polymers and predict the recognition sites of fentanyl-imprinted polymers. The experimental outcomes proved to align with the simulation data. The final sensor exhibited outstanding selectivity, repeatability, stability, and high sensitivity. The sensor was effectively used to reliably track fentanyl in human serum samples, with acceptable analytical reliability, suggesting its potential for practical applications.

[PMID: 37687882 PMCID: PMC10490827 DOI: 10.3390/s23177425] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2023] [Revised: 08/23/2023] [Accepted: 08/24/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023]
Abstract
This paper presents the development of cheap and selective Paper-based Analytical Devices (PADs) for selective Pd(II) determination from very acidic aqueous solutions. The PADs were obtained by impregnating two cm-side squares of filter paper with an azoic ligand, (2-(tetrazolylazo)-1,8 dihydroxy naphthalene-3,6,-disulphonic acid), termed TazoC. The so-obtained orange TazoC-PADs interact quickly with Pd(II) in aqueous solutions by forming a complex purple-blue-colored already at pH lower than 2. The dye complexes no other metal ions at such an acidic media, making TazoC-PADs highly selective to Pd(II) detection. Besides, at higher pH values, other cations, for example, Cu(II) and Ni(II), can interact with TazoC through the formation of stable and pink-magenta-colored complexes; however, it is possible to quantify Pd(II) in the presence of other cations using a multivariate approach. To this end, UV-vis spectra of the TazoC-PADs after equilibration with the metal ions solutions were registered in the 300-800 nm wavelength range. By applying Partial Least Square regression (PLS), the whole UV-vis spectra of the TazoC-PADs were related to the Pd(II) concentrations both when present alone in solution and also in the presence of Cu(II) and Ni(II). Tailored PLS models obtained with matrix-matched standard solutions correctly predicted Pd(II) concentrations in unknown samples and tap water spiked with the metal cation, making the method promising for quick and economical sensing of Pd(II).

Abstract
Heavy metal ions (HMIs) pose a serious threat to the environment and human body because they are toxic and non-biodegradable and widely exist in environmental ecosystems. It is necessary to develop a rapid, sensitive and convenient method for HMIs detection to provide a strong guarantee for ecology and human health. Ion-imprinted electrochemical sensors (IIECSs) based on nanomaterials have been regarded as an excellent technology because of the good selectivity, the advantages of fast detection speed, low cost, and portability. Electrode surfaces modified with nanomaterials can obtain excellent nano-effects, such as size effect, macroscopic quantum tunneling effect and surface effect, which greatly improve its surface area and conductivity, so as to improve the detection sensitivity and reduce the detection limit of the sensor. Hence, the present review focused on the fundamentals and the synthetic strategies of ion-imprinted polymers (IIPs) and IIECSs for HMIs detection, as well as the applications of various nanomaterials as modifiers and sensitizers in the construction of HMIIECSs and the influence on the sensing performance of the fabricated sensors. Finally, the potential challenges and outlook on the future development of the HMIIECSs technology were also highlighted. By means of the points presented in this review, we hope to provide some help in further developing the preparation methods of high-performance HMIIECSs and expanding their potential applications.

Abstract
Current synthesis routes of bismuth oxide nanosheets (BiONS) are relatively complicated, requiring the use of halogens or metalloids. Herein, a facile method to synthesize BiONS without the addition of halogens or other metalloids was developed. The synthesized BiONS were identified to have flake-shaped structures (300-1000 nm in width) with the thickness of 6-10 nm, which were predominantly made of β-Bi2O3. Such BiONS were applied to modify the surface of screen-printed carbon electrodes (BiONS-SPCEs) for the development of a robust palladium (Pd2+) sensor. After optimizing the electrochemical parameters of the sensor, it was found that the linear sensor response range and limit of detection for Pd2+ were 40-400 and 1.4 ppb, respectively. The electrocatalytic activity of the Pd2+-sensor was validated in the competing environment of other metal and metalloid ions. Real samples collected during a Pd recovery process from pharmaceutical wastewater were used to verify the application of BiONS-SPCEs in control of palladium recovery process. The quantitative results of post recovery palladium concentrations obtained using BiONS-SPCEs in treated pharmaceutical wastewater samples were in good agreement with those obtained by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Thus, such Pd2+-sensor provided the possibility of on-site process control of complex industrial samples for obtaining near-instant information that would lead to better management of resources used in the process, and same time assure environmental standards for both recovered products and processed discharge.
