Abstract
Low-cost, reliable, and efficient biosensors are crucial in detecting residual heavy metal ions (HMIs) in food products. At present, based on distance-induced localized surface plasmon resonance of noble metal nanoparticles, enzyme-mimetic reaction of nanozymes, and chelation reaction of metal chelators, the constructed optical sensors have attracted wide attention in HMIs detection. Besides, based on the enrichment and signal amplification strategy of nanomaterials on HMIs and the construction of electrochemical aptamer sensing platforms, the developed electrochemical biosensors have overcome the plague of low sensitivity, poor selectivity, and the inability of multiplexed detection in the optical strategy. Moreover, along with an in-depth discussion of these different types of biosensors, a detailed overview of the design and application of innovative devices based on these sensing principles was provided, including microfluidic systems, hydrogel-based platforms, and test strip technologies. Finally, the challenges that hinder commercial application have also been mentioned. Overall, this review aims to establish a theoretical foundation for developing accurate and reliable sensing technologies and devices for HMIs, thereby promoting the widespread application of biosensors in the detection of HMIs in food.

Sun J, Cai H, Ma Z, Di J. Ultra-sensitive photoelectrochemical sensor for copper ion detection based on ITO/BiVO 4 photoelectrode. Talanta 2024; 267:125228.

Abstract
In this work, a photoelectrochemical sensor for Cu2+ trace detection was prepared based on the excellent semiconductor material BiVO4 modified ITO electrode. It was found that Cu2+ formed a doping effect by adsorption on the surface of ITO/BiVO4 electrode, which inhibited the photogenerated electron complex and thus caused an increase in photocurrent. In addition, due to the complexation effect of EDTA on Cu2+, the Cu2+ adsorbed on the electrode surface is desorbed and the photocurrent returns to the blank value, making it possible to reuse electrodes. Under optimal conditions, the linearity range was measured between 0.1 pM and 0.1 μM and the detection limit was 0.063 pM. The PEC sensor exhibits the advantages of high sensitivity and reusability for Cu2+ detection. This provides a novel PEC detection platform for Cu2+ monitoring in environmental water samples.

Abstract
In light of potential risks of heavy metal exposure, diverse aptasensors have been developed through the combination of aptamers with nanomaterials for the timely and efficient detection of metals in environmental and biological matrices. Aptamer-based sensors can benefit from multiple merits such as heightened sensitivity, facile production, uncomplicated operation, exceptional specificity, enhanced stability, low immunogenicity, and cost-effectiveness. This review highlights the detection capabilities of nanomaterial-based aptasensors for heavy-metal and metalloid ions based on their performance in terms of the basic quality assurance parameters (e.g., limit of detection, linear dynamic range, and response time). Out of covered studies, dendrimer/CdTe@CdS QDs-based ECL aptasensor was found as the most sensitive option with an LOD of 2.0 aM (atto-molar: 10-18 M) detection for Hg2+. The existing challenges in the nanomaterial-based aptasensors and their scientific solutions are also discussed.

Abstract
Researchers have recently paid a lot of attention to semiconductor photocatalysts, especially ZnO-based heterostructures. Due to its availability, robustness, and biocompatibility, ZnO is a widely researched material in the fields of photocatalysis and energy storage. It is also environmentally beneficial. However, the wide bandgap energy and quick recombination of the photoinduced electron-hole pairs of ZnO limit its practical utility. To address these issues, many techniques have been used, such as the doping of metal ions and the creation of binary or ternary composites. Recent studies showed that ZnO/CdS heterostructures outperformed bare ZnO and CdS nanostructures in terms of photocatalytic performance when exposed to visible light. This review largely concentrated on the ZnO/CdS heterostructure production process and its possible applications including the degradation of organic pollutants and hydrogen evaluation. The importance of synthesis techniques such as bandgap engineering and controlled morphology was highlighted. In addition, the prospective uses of ZnO/CdS heterostructures in the realm of photocatalysis and the conceivable photodegradation mechanism were examined. Lastly, ZnO/CdS heterostructures' challenges and prospects for the future have been discussed.

Abstract
A versatile DNA nanomachine detection system has been developed via the combination of DNAzyme with catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) technology for achieving accurate and sensitive detection of lead ions (Pb2+). In the presence of target Pb2+, capture DNA nanomachine formed by AuNP and DNAzyme recognized and reacted with Pb2+, which yielded an "active" DNAzyme, that induced the cleavage of substrate strand, and then released the initiator DNA (TT) for CHA. With the help of the initiator DNA TT, self-powered CHA was activated to achieve the signal amplification reaction in the detection of DNA nanomachine. Meanwhile, the initiator DNA TT was released and hybridized with the other H1 strand to initiate another CHA, replacement, and turnovers, producing enhanced fluorescence signal of fluorophore FAM (excitation 490 nm/emission 520 nm) for sensitive determination of Pb2+. Under the optimized conditions, the DNA nanomachine detection system revealed high selectivity toward Pb2+ in the concentration range 50-600 pM, with the limit of detection (LOD) of 31 pM. Recovery tests demonstrated that the DNA nanomachine detection system has excellent detection capability in real samples. Therefore, the proposed strategy can be extended and act as a basic platform for highly accurate and sensitive detection of various heavy metal ions.

Abstract
In this work, a microwave assisted method was developed for synthesis of red fluorescent copper nanoclusters (NCs) using trypsin as a template (trypsin-Cu). The as-synthesized trypsin-Cu NCs are stable and water soluble, exhibiting fluorescence emission at 657 nm when excited at 490 nm. The as-prepared red-emitting trypsin-Cu NCs were characterized by using several analytical techniques such as ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) and fluorescence, fluorescence lifetime, Fourier transform infrared, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic techniques. Red-emitting trypsin-Cu NCs acted as a nanosensor for sensing both Pb2+ and Hg2+ ions through fluorescence quenching. Using this approach, good linearities are observed in the range of 0.1-25 and of 0.001-1 μM with the lower limit of detection of 14.63 and 56.81 nM for Pb2+ and Hg2+ ions, respectively. Trypsin-Cu NCs-based fluorescence assay was successfully applied to detect both Hg2+ and Pb2+ ions in water and tobacco samples.

Abstract
Heavy metal pollution resulting from significant heavy metal waste discharge is increasingly serious. Traditional methods for the detection of heavy metal ions have high requirements on external conditions, so developing a sensitive, simple, and reproducible detection method is becoming an urgent need. The aptamer, as a new kind of artificial probe, has received more attention in recent years for its high sensitivity, easy acquisition, wide target range, and wide use in the detection of various harmful substances. The detection platform that an aptamer-based electrochemical biosensor (E-apt sensor) provides is a new approach for the detection of heavy metal ions. Nanomaterials are particularly important in the construction of E-apt sensors, as they can be used as aptamer carriers or sensitizers to stimulate or inhibit electrochemical signals, thus significantly improving the detection sensitivity. This review summarizes the application of different types of nanomaterials in E-apt sensors. The construction methods and research progress of the E-apt sensor based on different working principles are systematically introduced. Moreover, the advantages and challenges of the E-apt sensor in heavy metal ion detection are summarized.

Abstract
A novel amine-functionalized silica quantum dots (SiQDs) fluorescent nanoprobe was developed for sensing of lead concentration in water, plasma and cell lysate. In addition, the developed probe was utilized for bioimaging of intracellular lead ions in HT 29 cancer cells. The amine-functionalized nanoprobe exhibited fluorescence emission at 445 nm under excitation at 355 nm. Upon addition of lead ions, the fluorescence of SiQDs linearly enhanced from 50 ng/mL to 5 µg/mL and 50 ng/mL to 25 µg/mL for plasma and standard media, respectively. The synthesis and fabrication of this probe are simple and serves high sensitivity with a limit of detection down to around 20 ng/mL. In the presence of various molecular and ion interfering, reliable results are obtained, confirming the specificity of the nanoprobe for lead ion detection. Meanwhile, amine-functionalized SiQD-based nanoprobe exhibits excellent cell membrane-permeability and biocompatibility. Thus, this probe is utilized for lead tracing in HT 29 cancer live cells. Fluorescent microscopy results confirmed the attachment of the produced nanomaterials to the HT 29 cancer cells.
