Abstract
Electrochemical sensors consisting of screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) are recurrent devices in the recent literature for applications in different fields of interest and contribute to the expanding electroanalytical chemistry field. This is due to inherent characteristics that can be better (or only) achieved with the use of SPEs, including miniaturization, cost reduction, lower sample consumption, compatibility with portable equipment, and disposability. SPEs are also quite versatile; they can be manufactured using different formulations of conductive inks and substrates, and are of varied designs. Naturally, the analytical performance of SPEs is directly affected by the quality of the material used for printing and modifying the electrodes. In this sense, the most varied carbon nanomaterials have been explored for the preparation and modification of SPEs, providing devices with an enhanced electrochemical response and greater sensitivity, in addition to functionalized surfaces that can immobilize biological agents for the manufacture of biosensors. Considering the relevance and timeliness of the topic, this review aimed to provide an overview of the current scenario of the use of carbonaceous nanomaterials in the context of making electrochemical SPE sensors, from which different approaches will be presented, exploring materials traditionally investigated in electrochemistry, such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, carbon black, and those more recently investigated for this (carbon quantum dots, graphitic carbon nitride, and biochar). Perspectives on the use and expansion of these devices are also considered.

Mikrochim Acta 2022; 189:303. [PMID: 35915284 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-022-05409-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2022] [Accepted: 07/06/2022] [Indexed: 10/16/2022]
Abstract
A self-powered photoelectrochemical (PEC) aptasensor was constructed to sensitively detect 17β-estradiol (E2). Firstly, a reasonable AgInS2@Co/Ni-UiO-66@Carbon Nanodots (CDs) photoelectrode with excellent photoelectrochemical performance was built by a simple two-step preparation method. The Co and Ni doping markedly improved the activity of UiO-66; the matched energy level of AgInS2 and Co/Ni-UiO-66 promoted the separation of electron-hole pairs, and the coupling of CDs further enhanced the conductivity and light utilization. Therefore, a steady anode-photocurrent signal output was obtained in 0.0 V bias voltage, providing a reliable photoelectric translating platform for assembling a self-powered PEC aptasensor. The E2-aptamer was adopted as a recognition unit to enhance the selectivity and sensitivity of the proposed aptasensor. The specific recognition reaction between E2 and aptamer administering to a raised photocurrent signal and the concentration of E2 was quantified by counting the fluctuation of the anode-photocurrent signal. The linear response range of the PEC aptasensor was 1.0 × 10-5-10 nmol/L, and the detection limit (S/N = 3) was lower than 3.0 fmol/L under optimal conditions. The fabricated aptasensor exhibited admirable selectivity, high sensitivity, rapid response, and wide linear range, demonstrating an extensive application prospect for environmental endocrine disruptor detection.
