Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1316:342876. [PMID: 38969434 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.342876] [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: 05/10/2024] [Revised: 06/07/2024] [Accepted: 06/13/2024] [Indexed: 07/07/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Ofloxacin (OFL) is often abused in medicine and animal husbandry, which poses a great threat to human health and ecological environment. Therefore, it is necessary to establish efficient method to detect OFL. Electrochemical sensor has attracted widespread attention due to the advantages of low cost and fast response. However, most electrochemical sensors usually use one response signal to detect the target, which makes it sensitive to the variable background noise in the complex environment, resulting in low robustness and selectivity. The ratio detection mode and employing molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) are two strategies to solve these problems. RESULTS A novel molecular imprinting polymer-ratiometric electrochemical sensor (MIP-RECS) based on Fe-MOF-NH2/CNTs-NH2/MXene composite was prepared for the rapid and sensitive detection of OFL. The positively charged Fe-MOF-NH2 and CNTs-NH2 as interlayer spacers were introduced into the negatively charged MXene through a simple electrostatic self-assembly technique, which effectively prevented the agglomeration of MXene and increased the electrocatalytic activity. A glass carbon electrode was modified by the composite and a MIP film was electropolymerized on it using o-phenylenediamine and β-cyclodextrin as bifunctional monomers and OFL as template. Then a MIP-RECS was designed by adding dopamine (DA) into the electrolyte solution as internal reference, and OFL was quantified by the response current ratio of OFL to DA. The current ratio and the concentration of OFL displayed a satisfying linear relationship in the range of 0.1 μM-100 μM, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 13.2 nM. SIGNIFICANCE Combining molecular imprinting strategy and ratio strategy, the MIP-RECS has impressive selectivity compared with the non-imprinted polymer-RECS, and has better repeatability and reproducibility than non-ratiometric sensor. The MIP-RECS has high sensitivity and accuracy, which was applied for the detection of OFL in four different brands of milk and was verified by HPLC method with satisfactory results.

Electrochemical Nanosensor for the Simultaneous Determination of Anticancer Drugs Epirubicin and Topotecan Using UiO-66-NH 2/GO Nanocomposite Modified Electrode. BIOSENSORS 2024; 14:229. [PMID: 38785703 PMCID: PMC11117627 DOI: 10.3390/bios14050229] [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: 03/09/2024] [Revised: 04/17/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
In this work, UiO-66-NH2/GO nanocomposite was prepared using a simple solvothermal technique, and its structure and morphology were characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). An enhanced electrochemical sensor for the detection of epirubicin (EP) was proposed, which utilized a UiO-66-NH2/GO nanocomposite-modified screen-printed graphite electrode (UiO-66-NH2/GO/SPGE). The prepared UiO-66-NH2/GO nanocomposite improved the electrochemical performance of the SPGE towards the redox reaction of EP. Under optimized experimental conditions, this sensor demonstrates a remarkable limit of detection (LOD) of 0.003 µM and a linear dynamic range from 0.008 to 200.0 µM, providing a highly capable platform for sensing EP. Furthermore, the simultaneous electro-catalytic oxidation of EP and topotecan (TP) was investigated at the UiO-66-NH2/GO/SPGE surface utilizing differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). DPV measurements revealed the presence of two distinct oxidation peaks of EP and TP, with a peak potential separation of 200 mV. Finally, the UiO-66-NH2/GO/SPGE sensor was successfully utilized for the quantitative analysis of EP and TP in pharmaceutical injection, yielding highly satisfactory results.

Abstract
Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) have a significant impact on the environment and human health, due to their sometimes toxic and carcinogenic characteristics. Therefore, an innovative chemosensor was constructed for ultrasensitive determination of two typical PCCPs (hydroquinone (HQ) and catechol (CC)) in several minutes. The homemade chemosensor (UiO-67@GO/MWCNTs) consisted of MOF(UiO-67), graphene oxide (GO), and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) composites; it was a networked, structurally sparse, porosity-rich, homogeneous octahedral composite, and had ultra-high electrical conductivity, which provided lots of active adsorption sites, promote charge transfer, and enrich lots of molecules to be measured in a few minutes. The prepared electrochemical sensor showed good long-term stability, applicability, reproducibility, and immunity to interference for the determination of HQ and CC, with a wide linear range of response of 5.0 ~ 940 µM for both HQ and CC, and a low limit of detection with satisfactory recoveries. In addition, a new strategy of using MOF composites as the basis for electrochemical determination of organic small molecules was established, and a new platform was constructed for the quantitative determination of organic small molecules in various environmental samples.

Abstract
Ultratrace 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB, ∼ng/L) in source water is the main odorant in the algae-derived odor episodes, whose accurate on-site detection will have a promising application potential. Due to the chemical inertness of 2-MIB, sensitive and selective detection of 2-MIB remains much challenging. Herein, molecularly imprinted polymer cavities were polymerized on the heterostructure Ti3C2Tx@CuFc-metal-organic framework to selectively capture 2-MIB, where the heterostructure could catalyze the probe redox reaction of [Fe(CN)63-/4-] and amplify the corresponding current signals. The prepared electrochemical sensor showed higher sensitivity on 2-MIB detection than the reported ones. Excellent stability, reusability, and selectivity for 2-MIB detection were also verified. The linear range and limit of detection of our sensor for 2-MIB were optimized to 0.0001-100 μg/L and 30 pg/L, respectively, performing much better than the reported sensors. Comparable performance to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was achieved when the sensor was applied to real water samples with or without 2-MIB standards. Overall, our research has made great progress in the application of an on-site sensor in 2-MIB detection and well advances the development of molecularly imprinted polymer-based electrochemical sensors.

Abstract
Herein, we introduce an eco-friendly electrochemical sensor based on melamine-enriched nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheets decorated with gold nanoparticles (Au-CNSm) for arsenic sensing. An extremely facile, low-toxicity, biocompatible, and affordable hydrothermal technique was adopted for the synthesis of the Au-CNSm nanocomposite. The Au-CNSm-integrated sensing platform was optimized for electrode composition by cyclic voltammetry (CV). Owing to the synergistic effects of melamine-enriched carbon nanosheets (CNSm) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), the anodic peak current increased in the Au-CNSm-modified sensing electrode as compared to the CNSm-decorated platform. A wide linear range of 0.0001-100 μM and a low detection limit of 0.0001 μM were obtained. The visual signals can be measured at a very minute concentration of 0.0001 μM (0.1 ppb) on a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) modified with Au-CNSm. Hence, this electrode system clearly outperformed the previously reported studies in terms of linear range, limit of detection (LOD), and electrocatalytic activity for arsenic sensing. Interestingly, the fabricated biosensor can be developed as a point-of-care device for real-time environmental monitoring for public safety. Henceforth, owing to exceptional attributes such as portability, selectivity, and sensitivity, this device offers great promise in modeling a revolutionary new class of electrochemical sensing platforms for an ultrasensitive and reliable detection strategy for arsenite (As(III)).

Abstract
Electrochemical determination of synthetic opioids such as fentanyl is meaningful but still challenging no matter from a social or academic perspective. Herein, we report a series of novel electrocatalysts based on Fe-containing metal-organic frameworks and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (Fe-MOF/MWCNTs). The obtained Fe-MOF/MWCNT electrode materials all show ultrasensitivity on fentanyl determination. In particular, MOF-235/MWCNTs even exhibit an ultra-low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.03 μM with a wide linear range from 0.1 to 50 μM. Besides, this series of Fe-MOF/MWCNTs also displays excellent repeatability, selectivity, and stability. Moreover, they show good performance in real sample detection and achieve good recovery of 95.47%-102.41% and 96.62%-103.15% in blood and urine samples, respectively. This high performance in fentanyl determination is mainly contributed by the Fenton-like process and the adsorption function of the Fe-MOF. Therefore, these novel Fe-MOF/MWCNTs are promising electrocatalysts for point-of-care device fabrication and also have potential applications in fentanyl rapid test technology.

Abstract
The science and interface chemistry between the arsenic (As) anions and the different adsorbent systems have been gaining interest in recent years in environmental remediation applications. Metal-oxides and the corresponding hybrid systems have shown promising performance as novel adsorbents in various treatment technologies. The abundance, surface chemistry, high surface area (active-centres), various synthesis and functionalization methodologies, and good recyclability make these metal oxide-based nanomaterials as potential remediating agents for As oxyanions. This work critically reviews eight different platforms focused on the arsenic contamination issue, where the first classification describes the origin of arsenic contamination and presents geographical and demo-graphical considerations. The following section briefs the state-of-the-art remediation techniques for arsenic treatment with a comparative evaluation. An emphasized discussion has been provided regarding the adsorption and classification of various metal oxide adsorbents. In the next classification, various multi-synergism abilities like Redox activity, Surface functional groups, Surface area/morphology, Heterogeneous catalysis, Reactive oxygen species, Photo-catalytic/electro-catalytic reactions, and Electrosorption are detailed. The classification of various characterization tools for accessing the arsenic remediation qualitatively and quantitatively are given in the fifth chapter. The first-of-its-kind dedicated analysis has been given on the surface complexation aspects of the arsenic speciation onto various metal adsorbent systems using synchrotron results, surface-complexation modeling, and molecular simulation (e.g., DFT) in the sixth chapter. The current sensing applications of these novel nano-material systems for arsenic determination using colorimetric and electrochemical-based analytical tools and a note about the economic parameters, i.e., regeneration aspects of various adsorbent systems/the sustainable applications of the treated sludge materials, are provided in the final sections. This work makes a critical analysis of 'Environmental Nanotechnology' towards 'Arsenic Treatment'.

Abstract
Developing new and efficient technologies for environmental remediation is becoming significant due to the increase in global concerns such as climate change, severe epidemics, and energy crises. Air pollution, primarily due to increased levels of H2S, SOx, NH3, NOx, CO, volatile organic compounds (VOC), and particulate matter (PM) in the atmosphere, has a significant impact on public health, and exhaust gases harm the natural sulfur, nitrogen, and carbon cycles. Similarly, wastewater discharged to the environment with metal ions, herbicides, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, dyes, and aromatics/organic compounds is a risk for health since it may lead to an outbreak of waterborne pathogens and increase the exposure to endocrine-disrupting agents. Therefore, developing new and efficient air and water quality management systems is critical. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are novel materials for which the main application areas include gas storage and separation, water harvesting from the atmosphere, chemical sensing, power storage, drug delivery, and food preservation. Due to their versatile structural motifs that can be modified during synthesis, MOFs also have a great promise for green applications including air and water pollution remediation. The motivation to use MOFs for environmental applications prompted the modification of their structures via the addition of metal and functional groups, as well as the creation of heterostructures by mixing MOFs with other nanomaterials, to effectively remove hazardous contaminants from wastewater and the atmosphere. In this review, we focus on the state-of-the-art environmental applications of MOFs, particularly for water treatment and air pollution, by highlighting the groundbreaking studies in which MOFs have been used as adsorbents, membranes, and photocatalysts for the abatement of air and water pollution. We finally address the opportunities and challenges for the environmental applications of MOFs.
