Abstract
All over the world, technology is becoming more and more prevalent in agriculture. Different types of instruments are already being used in this sector. For the time being, every farmer is trying to produce more crops on a piece of land. Eventually, soil loses its nutrients; however, to grow more crops, farmers use more fertilizers without knowing the proper conditions of the soil in real time. To overcome this issue, many scientists have recently focused on developing electrochemical sensors to detect macronutrients, i.e., nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), in soil or water rapidly. In this review, we focus mainly on the recent developments in electrochemical sensors used for the detection of nutrients (NPK) in different types of samples. As it is outlined, the use of smart and portable electrochemical sensors can be helpful for the reduction of excess fertilizer and can play a vital role in maintaining suitable conditions in soils and water. We are optimistic that this review can guide researchers in the development of a portable and suitable NPK detection system for soil nutrients.

Determination of urea, phosphate, and potassium in agricultural runoff waters using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:98858-98868. [PMID: 35932346 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-022-22369-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2022] [Accepted: 07/29/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Large-scale use of chemical fertilizers has resulted in the contamination of agricultural runoff waters by soil macronutrients NPK, whose detection is of significant interest. This work reports the determination of macronutrients in the form of urea (N), orthophosphate PO43- (P), and potassium K+ (K) in simulated agricultural runoff waters. Their solutions were prepared by extracting water-soluble constituents of soil. This 'base' solution contains high concentrations of various species, including Cl-, SO42-, NO3-, PO43-, Na+, K+, and NH4+ along with natural organic matter. Predetermined amounts of urea (4 to 22.5 ppm), PO43- (7 to 50 ppm), and potassium K+ (25 to 250 ppm) were added to the base simulated runoff water to prepare standard stock solutions. Using stainless steel working and counter electrodes, a small AC perturbation (±10 mV vs. OCP, vs. Ag/AgCl) was applied and the frequency response of the working electrode-solution interface was measured from 1 Hz to 1 MHz. The interface itself was modeled as a suitable equivalent electrical circuit, and the magnitudes of its components were fitted from experimental data using nonlinear regression. It is observed that PO43- concentration is a linear function of charge transfer resistance arising from redox reaction, K+ concentration is a quadratic function of double-layer capacitance arising from its higher mobility, and urea concentration can be correlated as a linear function of constant phase element arising from its polarization in the presence of an applied electric field. The sensor exhibits good sensitivity, repeatability, and excellent performance against interfering species. These preliminary results show significant potential for development of a real-time or on-site sensing device.

Abstract
The determination of phosphate ions in biological testing is critical for environmental safety. A reliable and accurate method is required to measure the true phosphate ion concentrations; in this regard, the electrochemical method is preferable because of its simple operation, fast response, and high sensitivity. By compiling existing electroanalytical techniques, researchers can compare the advantages and disadvantages of each method. This review examines the progress and recent advances in electrochemical sensing strategies adapted for the determination of phosphate ions in the environmental and during biological monitoring. We first discuss the history of phosphorus and the development of methods to detect phosphates. The recognition elements of phosphate ion sensors for environmental applications include metal-based, nanomaterial-based, carbon-based, and enzymatic electrodes. Phosphate determination in biological samples, such as blood serum, drugs, and other biological fluids, such as urine and saliva, as well as phosphate esters, is also discussed. The final part of our review addresses the current challenges that phosphate sensing technology faces and illustrates future opportunities for more reliable phosphate detection.

Abstract
Rapid and accurate blood glucose detection is significant for diagnosing and treating diabetes. Herein, ultra-low-content gold nanoparticles were loaded on different metal foams and applied to electrochemical enzyme-free glucose sensors via simple displacement reactions. The structures and properties of the produced catalysts were determined by various characterization methods. The performance of the glucose sensor was examined in relation to the interactions between three different metal substrates and gold. The one with the best performance is the sample of gold nanoparticles grown on copper foam (Au300 Cu Foam). It has the advantage of a porous three-dimensional network, a large electroactive surface area, and the high catalytic activity of gold. The combination of Cu and Au increased the valence state of Au, thus favoring the catalytic activity for glucose oxidation. Cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry measurements revealed that Au is responsible for the electrocatalytic oxidation of glucose. The sensitivity of Au300 Cu Foam was found to be 10 839 μA mM-1 cm-2 in the linear range of 0.00596-0.0566 mM, with a detection limit (LOD) of 0.223 μM, and 2-3 s response time at 0.4 V vs. Ag/AgCl. The Au300 Cu Foam glucose sensor also offered outstanding stability and anti-interference performance. The prepared Au300 Cu Foam electrode was also successfully applied to detect different levels of glucose in human body fluids, such as saliva. These characteristics make Au300 Cu Foam promising for non-invasive glucose detection.

Abstract
Progress in the development of commercially available non-enzymatic glucose sensors continues to be problematic due to issues regarding selectivity, reproducibility and stability. Overcoming these issues is a research challenge of significant importance. This study reports a novel fabrication process using a double-layer self-assembly of (3 mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane (MPTS) on a gold substrate and co-deposition of a platinum–copper alloy. The subsequent electrochemical dealloying of the less noble copper resulted in a nanoporous platinum structure on the uppermost exposed thiol groups. Amperometric responses at 0.4 V vs. Ag/AgCl found the modification to be highly selective towards glucose in the presence of known interferants. The sensor propagated a rapid response time <5 s and exhibited a wide linear range from 1 mM to 18 mM. Additionally, extremely robust stability was attributed to enhanced attachment due to the strong chemisorption between the gold substrate and the exposed thiol of MPTS. Incorporation of metallic nanomaterials using the self-assembly approach was demonstrated to provide a more reproducible and controlled molecular architecture for sensor fabrication. The successful application of the sensor in real blood serum samples displayed a strong correlation with clinically obtained glucose levels.
