JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 477:135317. [PMID: 39059298 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.135317] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2024] [Revised: 06/18/2024] [Accepted: 07/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024]
Abstract
The presence and distribution of toxic organic compounds in soil pose significant challenges. Whether their distributional characteristics are more complex, especially in arid and semi-arid regions with harsh climatic conditions? This study analyzed the composition, classification, spatial distribution, and sources of 123 toxic organic compounds in 56 soil samples of coal-electricity production base. Those compounds were classified into 11 categories, mainly pesticides (41 compounds), organic synthesis intermediates (31 compounds), and drugs (23 compounds). Seventeen of those compounds were detected over the rate of 30 %, with 13 of them being under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) inventory. The primary sources of toxic organic compounds were determined using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF), including the degradation of pesticide residues (22.03 %), emissions of plastic pellets (16.64 %), industrial waste emissions (12.80 %), emissions from livestock (12.74 %), plastic films (11.22 %) and coal-to-liquid projects (10.78 %). This research underscores the widespread presence of toxic organic compounds in soil, highlighting their origins and distribution patterns, which are essential for developing targeted environmental management strategies in arid and semi-arid regions.

J Chromatogr A 2024; 1731:465194.

Abstract
Over the last decade, human activities in the industrial and agricultural sectors have significantly increased the concentration of persistent and harmful pollutants in aquatic ecosystems. The use of microorganisms is a green strategy for the bio-removal of certain contaminants. However, other pollutants in the same ecosystems can reduce their degrading activity and even affect their survival. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of benzo(b)fluoranthene (BbF) and benzo(k)fluoranthene (BkF) removal by Selenastrum capricornutum in the presence of triazine herbicides, compounds mainly used in broadleaf weeds. The interest of this work focused on identifying in which of the microalgal components the degrading activity is best evidenced and affected. For this purpose, the use of solid-phase extraction (SPE) and matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) extraction procedures and HPLC-UV analysis allowed the BbF and BkF trace quantification in biomass, liquid medium, and cell lysate separately from cultures exposed to these polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) alone or with herbicides. The recovery percentages were between 78 and 94 %, good linearity (r2 ≈ 0.99), precision values measured as RSD < 15 %, and limits of detection (LOQs) at levels of ng mL-1 and ng mg-1 were obtained. The individual PAH amounts measured in the components of microalgae cultures show similar removal kinetics (removal percentages: 82-89 %). Likewise, the analysis demonstrated that the removal of PAHs is not affected in the presence of triazine herbicides (atrazine and cyanazine) and with similar removal percentages (79-86 %) compared to those cultures exposed to individual PAHs (74-83 %). These results support the possible real-world applications of PAH removal by extracts from S. capricornutum in aquatic environments contaminated with PAHs and near agriculture areas where triazine herbicides are used.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic compounds (PAHs) are persistent organic pollutants of environmental concern due to their potential impacts on food chain, with plants being particularly vulnerable. While plants can uptake, transport, and transform PAHs, the precise mechanisms underlying their localization and degradation are not fully understood. Here, a cultivation experiment conducted with Panicum miliaceum exposed different concentrations of phenanthrene (PHE). Intermediate PHE degradation compounds were identified via GC-MS analysis, leading to the proposal of a phytodegradation pathway featuring three significant benzene ring cleavage steps. Our results showed that P. miliaceum exhibited the ability to effectively degrade high levels of PHE, resulting in the production of various intermediate products through several chemical changes. Examination of the localization and anatomical characteristics revealed structural alterations linked to PHE stress, with an observed enhancement in PHE accumulation density in both roots and shoots as treatment levels increased. Following a 2-week aging period, a decrease in the amount of PHE accumulation was observed, along with a change in its localization. Bioinformatics analysis of the P. miliaceum 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase (2-ODD) DAO-like protein revealed a 299 amino acid structure with two highly conserved domains, namely 2OG-FeII_Oxy and DIOX_N. Molecular docking analysis aligned with experimental results, strongly affirming the potential link and direct action of 2-ODD DAO-like protein with PHE. Our study highlights P. miliaceum capacity for PAHs degradation and elucidates the mechanisms behind enhanced degradation efficiency. By integrating experimental evidence with bioinformatics analysis, we offer valuable insights into the potential applications of plant-based remediation strategies for PAHs-contaminated environments.

Abstract
Herbicides have been extensively used around the world, which poses a potential hazard to humans and wildlife. Accurate detection of herbicides is crucial for the environment and human health. Herein, a simple and sensitive fluorescence sensor array was constructed for discrimination and identification of herbicides. Fluorescent gold nanoclusters modified with 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid or reduced glutathione were prepared, respectively. Metal ions quenched the fluorescence of nanoclusters through coordination and leading to the aggregation of gold nanoclusters. The addition of auxin herbicides (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid, decamba, picloram, quinclorac) restored the fluorescence of nanoclusters with different degrees. The mechanism study showed auxin herbicides can bind with metal ions and re-disperse the gold nanoclusters from the aggregation state. The "on-off-on" fluorescent sensor array was constructed basic on above detection mechanism. Combined with principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) methods, auxin herbicides are well separated on 2D/3D PCA score plots and HCA dendrogram in the range of 40-500 μm. In addition, the fluorescence sensor array performed successful in detecting real samples and blind samples. The developed sensor system shows a promising in practical detection of herbicides.

Abstract
The present research work introduced a new electrocatalyst (Pt-Pd-ZnO/SWCNTs in this case) to the fabrication of a powerful DNA biosensor in the monitoring of Vinorelbine anticancer drug. The characterization information confirms the high purity of Pt-Pd-ZnO/SWCNTs nanocomposite and an intercalation reaction between Vinorelbine anticancer drug and the guanine base of DNA in an aqueous solution. The reducing signal of DNA after interaction with Vinorelbine drug showed a linear analytical range of 0.1-120 μM with a detection limit of 0.05 μM. The biosensor was fabricated by layer-by-layer modification of glassy carbon electrode with ds-DNA and Pt-Pd-ZnO/SWCNTs nanocomposite and used as the working electrode to sensing of vinorelbine drug in pharmaceutical and other real samples with acceptable recovery data. The preferential intercalation mode for the binding of vinorelbine anticancer drug into the ds-DNA receptor is clarified using the molecular docking study.

Abstract
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a remarkable cytokine that plays an important role in regulating vascular formation during the angiogenesis process. Therefore, real-time detection and quantification of VEGF is essential for clinical diagnosis and treatment due to its overexpression in various tumors. Among various sensing strategies, the aptamer-based sensors in combination with biological molecules improve the detection ability VEGFs. Aptamers are suitable biological recognition agents for the preparation of sensitive and reproducible aptasensors (Apt-sensors) due to their low immunogenicity, simple and straightforward chemical modification, and high resistance to denaturation. Here, a summary of the strategies for immobilization of aptamers (e.g., direct or self-assembled monolayer (SAM) attachment, etc.) on different types of electrodes was provided. Moreover, we discussed nanoparticle deposition techniques and surface modification methods used for signal amplification in the detection of VEGF. Furthermore, we are investigating various types of optical and electrochemical Apt-sensors used to improve sensor characterization in the detection of VEGF biomarkers.

Abstract
Hydroquinone poses a major threat to human health and is refractory to degradation, so it is important to establish a convenient detection method. In this paper, we present a novel colorimetric method for the detection of hydroquinone based on a peroxidase-like Pd nanozyme. The vancomycin-stabilized palladium nanoparticles (Van-Pdn NPs, n = 0.5, 1, 2) were prepared using vancomycin as a biological template. The successful synthesis of Van-Pdn NPs (n = 0.5, 1, 2) was demonstrated by UV-vis spectrophotometry, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The sizes of Pd nanoparticles inside Van-Pd0.5 NPs, Van-Pd1 NPs, and Van-Pd2 NPs were 2.6 ± 0.5 nm, 2.9 ± 0.6 nm, and 4.3 ± 0.5 nm, respectively. Furthermore, Van-Pd2 NPs exhibited excellent biocompatibility based on the MTT assay. More importantly, Van-Pd2 NPs had good peroxidase-like activity. A reliable hydroquinone detection method was established based on the peroxidase-like activity of Van-Pd2 NPs, and the detection limit was as low as 0.323 μM. Therefore, vancomycin improved the peroxidase-like activity and biocompatibility of Van-Pd2 NPs. Van-Pd2 NPs have good application prospects in the colorimetric detection of hydroquinone.

Abstract
Quetiapine fumarate (QF) is used to treat a number of mental/emotional diseases, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and abrupt bouts of mania or depression linked to bipolar disorder. This antipsychotic medicine can be deadly if an overdose is given to a person. Therefore, the sensitive identification of QF in bodily fluids is very important. In this study, an innovative low-cost colorimetric chemosensor based on silver nanoprism transfiguration in a phosphate-buffered saline (PBS)/Cl- matrix was developed and successfully tested for the recognition of QF in human-exhaled breath condensate. Using this non-invasive colorimetric chemosensor, a broad linearity range of 0.001-1000 μM and a low limit of quantification of 0.001 μM for QF were attained. Notably, the proposed optical chemosensor is capable of detecting QF from a minimum amount of sample [500 μM in PBS and 0.001 μM in exhaled breath condensate] in the first few seconds of reaction by the naked eye. So, a rapid colorimetric assay for the on-site analysis of QF was developed and validated. Moreover, for the first time, a semi-analytical method was introduced that can provide a rough estimation of the QF concentration. This colorimetric system was, for the first time, integrated in an optimized microfluidic paper-based colorimetric device (μPCD), promising the development of an engineered colorimetric opto-sensor toward real-time and therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) assay of drugs in real-world samples.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease, a progressive neurological condition, is associated with various internal and external risk factors in the disease's early stages. Early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease is essential for treatment management. Circulating exosomal microRNAs could be a new class of valuable biomarkers for early Alzheimer's disease diagnosis. Different kinds of biosensors have been introduced in recent years for the detection of these valuable biomarkers. Isolation of the exosomes is a crucial step in the detection process which is traditionally carried out by multi-step ultrafiltration. Microfluidics has improved the efficiency and costs of exosome isolation by implementing various effects and forces on the nano and microparticles in the microchannels. This paper reviews recent advancements in detecting Alzheimer's disease related exosomal microRNAs based on methods such as electrochemical, fluorescent, and SPR. The presented devices' pros and cons and their efficiencies compared with the gold standard methods are reported. Moreover, the application of microfluidic devices to detect Alzheimer's disease related biomarkers is summarized and presented. Finally, some challenges with the performance of novel technologies for isolating and detecting exosomal microRNAs are addressed.

Abstract
The detection and quantification of p-Nitrophenol (p-NP) in environmental samples are important for understanding the extent and impact of environmental pollution, protecting human health, ensuring regulatory compliance, and guiding remediation efforts. The main objective of this work was to investigate the electrochemical performance of a graphene oxide/cellulose nanofibril composite (GO/CNF) modified carbon paste electrode (GO/CNF/CPE) for the sensitive and reliable detection of p-nitrophenol in water samples. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) technique was employed to enlighten the structure of nanocomposites. The electrochemical behavior of the fabricated electrochemical sensor was characterized via differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Under optimized analytical conditions, the peak current of the analyte showed a wide linear relationship with its concentration in a range of 3.0 nM-210 μM with a low amount of the limit of detection (LOD) value of 0.8 nM determined by the DPV method. The proposed electrochemical sensor demonstrated excellent sensitivity, selectivity, and accuracy metrics in real sample analysis of p-nitrophenol.

Abstract
Tetracycline is a broad-spectrum class of antibiotics. The use of excessive doses of tetracycline antibiotics can result in their residues in food, posing varying degrees of risk to human health. Therefore, the establishment of a rapid and sensitive field detection method for tetracycline residues is of great practical importance to improve the safety of food-derived animal foods. Electrochemical analysis techniques are widely used in the field of pollutant detection because of the simple detection principle, easy operation of the instrument, and low cost of analysis. In this review, we summarize the electrochemical detection of tetracycline antibiotics by bibliometrics. Unlike the previously published reviews, this article reviews and analyzes the development of this topic. The contributions of different countries and different institutions were analyzed. Keyword analysis was used to explain the development of different research directions. The results of the analysis revealed that developments and innovations in materials science can enhance the performance of electrochemical detection of tetracycline antibiotics. Among them, gold nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes are the most used nanomaterials. Aptamer sensing strategies are the most favored methodologies in electrochemical detection of tetracycline antibiotics.

Abstract
In this report, Azithromycin (Azi) antibiotic was measured by carbon paste electrode (CPE) improved by graphene nanoribbon-CoFe2O4@NiO nanocomposite and 1-hexyl-3 methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (HMIM PF6) as an ionic liquid binder. The electrochemical behavior of Azi on the graphene nanoribbon-CoFe2O4@NiO/HMIM PF6/CPE is investigated by voltammetric methods, and the results showed that the modifiers improve the conductivity and electrochemical activity of the CPE. According to obtained data, the electrochemical behavior of Azi is related to pH. under optimum conditions, the sensor has linear ranges from 10 µM to 2 mM with a LOD of 0.66 µM. The effect of scan rate and chronoamperometry were studied, which showed that the Azi electro-oxidation is diffusion controlled with the diffusion coefficient of 9.22 × 10-6 cm2/s. The reproducibility (3.15%), repeatability (2.5%), selectivity, and stability (for 30 days) tests were investigated, which results were acceptable. The actual sample analysis confirmed that the proposed sensor is an appropriate electrochemical tool for Azi determination in urine and Azi capsule.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the foodborne pathogenic bacteria that greatly threatens human health. An ultrasensitive technology for P. aeruginosa detection is urgently demanded. Herein, based on the mechanism of aptamer-specific recognition, an electrochemical-colorimetric dual-mode ultrasensitive sensing strategy for P. aeruginosa is proposed. The vertices of DNA tetrahedral nanoprobes (DTNPs), that immobilized on the gold electrode were modified with P. aeruginosa aptamers. Furthermore, the G-quadruplex, which was conjugated with a P. aeruginosa aptamer, was synthesized via rolling circle amplification (RCA). Once P. aeruginosa is captured, a hemin/G-quadruplex, which possesses peroxidase-mimicking activity, will separate from the P. aeruginosa aptamer. Then, the exfoliated hemin/G-quadruplexes are collected for oxidation of the 3,3',5',5'-tetramethylbenzidine for colorimetric sensing. In the electrochemical mode, the hemin/G-quadruplex that is still bound to the aptamer catalyzes polyaniline (PANI) deposition and leads to a measurable electrochemical signal. The colorimetric and electrochemical channels demonstrated a good forward and reverse linear response for P. aeruginosa within the range of 1-108 CFU mL-1, respectively. Overall, compared with a traditional single-mode sensor for P. aeruginosa, the proposed dual-mode sensor featuring self-calibration not only avoids false positive results but also improves accuracy and sensitivity. Furthermore, the consistency of the electrochemical/colorimetric assay was verified in practical meat samples and showed great potential for applications in bioanalysis.

Abstract
Recently, the electrochemical sensing approach has attracted materials/electrochemical scientists to design and develop electrode materials for the construction of electrochemical sensors for the detection of para-nitrophenol (4-NP). In the present study, we have prepared a hybrid composite of MnO2 and rGO (MnO2/rGO) using a hydrothermal approach. The morphological features of the prepared MnO2/rGO composite were studied by scanning electron microscopy, whereas the phase purity and formation of the MnO2/rGO composite were authenticated via the powder X-ray diffraction method. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy was also employed to analyze the elemental composition of the prepared MnO2/rGO composite. In further studies, a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was modified with MnO2/rGO composite (MnO2/rGO/GCE) and explored as 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) sensor. The fabricated MnO2/rGO/GCE exhibited a reasonably good limit of detection of 0.09 µM with a sensitivity of 0.657 µA/µMcm2. The MnO2/rGO/GCE also demonstrates good selectivity, stability and repeatability in 50 cycles.

Abstract
In the scenario of global warming and pollution, the green synthesis and use of biodiesel has acquired utmost priority. Due to several limitations of homogeneous catalysis, organobase immobilized heterogeneous catalyzed production of biodiesel has come out as a favored route. The present report demonstrates the design and synthesis of Peganum harmala spice seed extract modified GO-CuFe2O4 (SSE@GO-CuFe2O4) nanocomposite as an organobase functionalized high surface area magnetic nanocatalyst. Pistachio leaves were used in the green reduction of precursor salts to synthesize CuFe2O4 NPs. The as-synthesized nanomaterial was characterized physicochemically by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-Ray analysis (EDX), elemental mapping, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-Ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and vibrating sample magnetometer techniques (VSM). Subsequently, the catalyst was explored in the efficient synthesis of biodiesels by trans-esterification of two substrates, the rapeseed oil and waste corn oil. The optimum conditions for biodiesel production were determined through response surface methodology based on Box-Behnken design including the study of calibration curves and 3D contour plots. Easy separation and workup, use of green medium, excellent reused for several times and short reaction time are outstanding benefits of this study.

Abstract
Dioecious plants show sexual differences in resistance traits to abiotic stresses. However, the effects of exogenous pesticide application on female and male plant growth and their associated adaptation mechanisms are unclear. Our study investigated the effects of the broad-spectrum pesticide lambda-cyhalothrin (λ-CY) on dioecious Populus cathayana growth and explored the factors through which λ-CY changed the rhizosphere bacterial community and physicochemical soil properties via sex-specific metabolomics. The sequential application of λ-CY significantly suppressed male shoot- and root biomass, with little effect on the growth of females. Females possessed a higher intrinsic chemo-diversity within their root exudates, and their levels of various metabolites (sugars, fatty acids, and small organic acids) increased after exposure to λ-CY with consequences on bacterial community composition. Maintaining high bacterial alpha diversity and recruiting specific bacterial groups slowed down the loss of rhizosphere nutrients in females. In contrast, the reduction in bacterial alpha diversity and network structure stability in males was associated with lower rhizosphere nutrient availability. Spearman's correlation analysis revealed that several bacterial groups were positively correlated with the root secretion of lipids and organic acids, suggesting that these metabolites can affect the soil bacterial groups actively involved in the nutrient pool. This study provided novel insights that root exudates and soil microbial interactions may mediate sex-specific differences in response to pesticide application.

Abstract
Cesium (Cs) is a byproduct of nuclear bombs, nuclear weapons testing, and nuclear fission in nuclear reactors. Cs can enter the human body through food or air and cause lasting damage. Highly efficient and selective removal of 137Cs from low-level radioactive effluents (LLREs), which contain many radionuclides and dissolved heavy metal species, is imperative for minimizing LLRE volume, and facilitating their final disposal. Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) have received much attention as materials for the removal of radioactive Cs because of their affinity for adsorbing Cs+. In this study, an inexpensive and readily available cyanide-based functional material (PBACu) exhibiting high efficiency and excellent selectivity toward Cs capture was designed through a facile low-temperature co-precipitation process. Nano-PBACu, crystallizing in the cubic space group (Fm-3m (225)), has an average pore size of 6.53 nm; consequently, PBACu can offer abundant atomic occupation sites for capturing and incorporating Cs. Here, the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir model fitted well with the adsorption of Cs + on PBACu, with a maximum capture capacity of 95.75 mg/g within 5 min, confirming that PBACu could rapidly capture Cs ions. PBACu strongly and selectively interacted with Cs even in a simulant containing large Na+, NH4+, Ca2+, and Mg2+ ion concentrations in an aqueous solution. The process of Cs + adsorption by cyanide-based functional crystals was confirmed to involve the entry of Cs+ into cyanide-based functional crystals to replace K+ and finally achieve the lattice incorporation of Cs. The current results broaden the lattice theory of radionuclide Cs removal and provide a promising alternative for the immobilization of Cs from radioactive wastewater.

Abstract
This study addresses the significance of wastewater recuperation by a simple and facile treatment process known as photocatalyst technology using visible light. Titanium di-oxide (TiO2) is the most promising photocatalyst ever since longing decades, has good activity under UV light, owing to its small band gap. Hence, TiO2 has been modified with metal oxides for the positive response against visible light. Since this is an efficient process, the novelty has been made on nanometal oxide CdO (cadmium oxide) combined with TiO2 to acquire the best efficiency of degrading organic chlorophenol contaminant. Initially, the composites were synthesized by sol-gel and thermal decomposition methods and investigated for their various outstanding properties. The characterized outcomes have exhibited heterostructures with reduced crystallite size from the X-ray diffraction studies. Then, the determination of nanoporous feature was recognized through HR-TEM analysis which was also detected with some dislocations. The EDX spectrum was identified the perfect elemental composition. The nitrogen adsorption-desorption equilibrium was attained that offers many pores measured with high surface area. The XPS result convinced that Ti3+ was accessible along with TIO2/CdO composite. Further the absorption towards higher wavelength was obtained from UV-vis spectra. Finally, for the photocatalytic application of chlorophenol, the composite shows higher percentage of degrading efficiencies than the pristine TiO2. The photocatalytic mechanism was discussed in detail.

Abstract
Nowadays, the removal of pharmaceutical contaminants from water resources and wastewater is of great importance due to environmental and health issues. Over the decades, various methods have been reported to remove pollutants from wastewater. Among the developed methods, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have received significant attention from researchers. In this study, we report the one-pot synthesis of graphene hydrogel-metal (GH-M, M: Co, Ni, Cu) nanocomposites via the combination of polyol and hydrothermal methods. The structure of the resulting nanocomposites was examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), inductively coupled plasma-mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and Raman spectroscopy methods. Afterward, as-prepared GH-Cu, GH-Co, and GH-Ni nanocomposites were used to prepare cathodes for the electro-Fenton (EF) process to remove rifampicin (RIF) from polluted water. The effect of operational parameters, including current density (mA/cm2), initial pH, initial RIF concentration (mg/L), and process time (min) was investigated via response surface methodology (RSM). The optimal values for current density, pH, initial RIF concentration, and process time using GH-Ni as cathode were 30 mA/cm2, 5, 30 mg/L, and 90 min, respectively. The results at optimal values showed that the maximum RIF removal efficiency for GH-Cu, GH-Co, and GH-Ni cathodes was 90.47, 92.60, and 93.69%, respectively. Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET), atomic force microscopy (AFM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), and cyclic voltammetry (CV) analyses were performed to investigate the performance of the cathodes for the RIF removal. Finally, total organic carbon (TOC), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) analyses were performed for further investigation of the RIF removal from polluted water. The results claimed that one-pot synthesized GH-M cathodes can effectively remove RIF from polluted water through EF process.

Phytotoxic effect of the insecticide imidacloprid in Phaseolus vulgaris L. plant and evaluation of its bioaccumulation and translocation by electrochemical methods. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2022; 214:113794.

Abstract
The objective of this work is to study the toxicological effect of the imidacloprid (IMD) on common bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris L) when used at high doses and its quantification by electrochemical method. Common bean plants were exposed to increasing concentrations of IMD and the different plant tissues were subjected to various analyses. The IMD detection in different tissues of the bean plant was performed after extraction on the metallic silver electrode using square wave voltammetry. The analytical and calibration parameters (Slope, correlation coefficient, linear range, detection limit and relative standard deviation) were calculated for the different plant tissues. The effect of different doses (5.0 × 10-3 to 5.0 × 10-2 mol L-1) of IMD was evaluated on germination, seedling (vigour, growth) and photosynthetic pigments in the bean plant. The results indicate that germination rate and seed vigour index reduced significantly (p ≤ 0.05) only in the applied concentrations above the recommended dose. A similar effect of IMD was observed on seedling development in term of roots length, plant length, number of leaves and number of nods. Concerning pigments content, chlorophyll a, b and total chlorophyll maximally decreased by 95.26%, 80.44% and 82.15% respectively at high applied dose. The bioaccumulation and translocation behaviour of IMD in bean plant was investigated, revealing that the IMD can be bioaccumulated in roots and can easily be translocated into stems and leaves.

Abstract
Graphdiyne is a two-dimensional carbon nanomaterial synthesized artificially in 2010. Its outstanding performance is considered to have great potential in different fields. This article summarizes the work of graphdiyne in the sensing field by literature summary and bibliometrics analysis. The development of graphdiyne in the field of sensing has gone through a process from theoretical calculation to experimental verification. Especially in the last three years, there has been very rapid development. The theoretical calculations suggest that graphdiyne is an excellent gas sensing material, but there is little experimental evidence in this direction. On the contrary, graphdiyne has been widely reported in the field of electrochemical sensing. At the same time, graphdiyne can also be used as a molecular switch for DNA sequencing. Fluorescent sensors based on graphdiyne have also been reported. In general, the potential of graphdiyne in sensing still needs to be explored. Current research results do not show that graphdiyne has irreplaceable advantages in sensing. The bibliometric analysis used in this review also provides cooperative network analysis and co-citation analysis on this topic. This provides a reference for the audience wishing to undertake research on the topic. In addition, according to the analysis, we also listed the direction that which this field deserves attention in the future.

Mathew AT, Saravanakumar MP. Removal of micropollutants through bio-based materials as a transition to circular bioeconomy: Treatment processes involved, perspectives and bottlenecks. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2022; 214:114150.

Abstract
The recent increase in micropollutant levels in water bodies is a growing concern globally. The generation of new materials and techniques for wastewater treatment often involves the release of hazardous wastes and the utilization of energy related to it. This can be resolved by the synthesis of bio-based materials through the use of already released wastes and naturally occurring components, adding their value as reusable resources. These bio-based materials find wide applications for micropollutant elimination and energy tapping due to the presence of various functional groups, large surface area, high stability, and reusability. The processes involved in micropollutant elimination through biomaterials generally include adsorption and degradation. These treatment processes are suggested to depend on various operational parameters like pH, temperature, dose, reaction time, presence of other contaminants, ions, etc. in the system, which may influence the process efficiency. Understanding the potential of bio-based materials many steps can be taken towards its large-scale application to upgrade wastewater treatment plants for micropollutant elimination. Furthermore, the recent advances of bio-based materials in energy storage and conversion have widened its scope for implementation in a circular bioeconomy. The bottlenecks towards such a transition and future recommendations are also presented and discussed.

Abstract
Acetaminophen is a widely used analgesic throughout the world. Detection of acetaminophen has particular value in pharmacy and clinics. Electrochemical sensors assembled with advanced materials are an effective method for the rapid detection of acetaminophen. Graphene-based carbon nanomaterials have been extensively investigated for potential analytical applications in the last decade. In this article, we selected papers containing both graphene and acetaminophen. Bibliometrics was used to analyze the relationships and trends among these papers. The results show that the topic has grown at a high rate since 2009. Among them, the detection of acetaminophen by an electrochemical sensor based on graphene is the most important direction. Graphene has moved from being a primary sensing material to a substrate for immobilization of other active ingredients. In addition, the degradation of acetaminophen using graphene-modified electrodes is also an important direction. We analyzed the research history and current status of this topic through bibliometrics. Authors, institutions, countries, and key literature were discussed. We also proposed perspectives for this topic.

Abstract
Photosynthetic microbes like brown algae, red algae, green-algae and blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) are utilized extensively for various commercial and industrial purposes. However, in recent time, their application has shifted to nanotechnology. The synthesis of metal nanoparticles using algal resources is known as Phyconanotechnology. Due to various advantages of the photosynthetic microbes such as presence of bioactive molecules, scalability, high metal uptake and cultivability, these microbes form ideal sources for nanoparticle synthesis. The green synthesis of nanoparticles is a non-toxic and environment-friendly alternative compared to other hazardous chemical and physical routes of synthesis. Several species of algae are explored for the fabrication of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles. Various physical characterization techniques collectively contribute in defining the surface morphology of nanoparticles and the existing functional groups for bioreduction and stability. A wide range of nanostructured metals like gold, silver, copper, zinc, iron, platinum and palladium are fabricated using algae and cyanobacteria. Due to the unique properties of the phycogenic nanoparticles, biocompatibility and safety aspects, all of these metal nanoparticles have their applications in facets like infection control, diagnosis, drug delivery, biosensing and bioremediation. Herein, the uniqueness of the phycogenic nanoparticles along with their distinctive antibacterial, antifungal, antibiofilm, algaecidal, antiviral, anticancer, antioxidant, antidiabetic, dye degradation, metal removal and catalytic properties are featured. Lastly, this work highlights the various challenges and future perspectives for further exploration of the biogenic metal nanoparticles for development of nanomedicine and environmental remediation in the coming years.

Abstract
In our study, the electrochemical properties of a novel activated nanocomposite were studied with 2-dimensional graphitic carbon nitride/sodium dodecyl sulfate/graphene nanoplatelets on the screen-printed electrodes (2D-g-C3N4/SDS/GNPs/SPE). The as-fabricated sensor exhibited excellent electrochemical performance, including wide dynamic ranges from 0.03 to 1.0 and 1.0-13.5 μM with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 10.0 nM. The fabricated 2D-g-C3N4/SDS/GNPs/SPE electrode exhibited high sensitivity, stability, good reproducibility, reusability, and repeatability towards DOX sensing. It can be utilized in real samples, including human plasma and urine, with excellent correlations and coefficients of variation below 6.0%. Therefore, this study presents potential application values in sensing DOX with efficient performance. Finally, the accuracy was attested by comparison with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) as the reference method, signalizing a good agreement.

Abstract
In the latest times, considerable studies have been performed closer to detecting emerging pollutant such as paracetamol in wastewater. Electrochemical sensor developments have recently started to determine in fewer concentrations effectively. The detection of paracetamol using standard protocols corresponding to electroanalytical techniques has a greater impact noticed in directing the detecting process toward biosensors. Non-enzymatic sensors are the peak of all electro analysis approaches. Functionalized materials, such as metal oxide nanoparticles, conducting polymers, and carbon-based materials for electrode surface functionalization have been used to create a fortification for distributing passive enzyme-free biosensors. Synergic effects are possible by enhancing loading capacity and mass transfer of reactants for attaining high analytical sensitivity using a variety of nanomaterials with large surface areas. The main focus of this study is to address the prevailing issues in the identification of paracetamol with the tasks in the non-enzymatic sensors field, followed by the useful methods of electro analysis studies.

Abstract
Foodborne-related infections due to additives and pollutants pose a considerable task for food processing enterprises. Therefore, the competent, cost-effective, and quick investigation of nutrition additives and contaminants is essential to reduce the threat of public fitness problems. The electrochemical sensor (ECS) shows facile and potent analytical approaches desirable for food protection and quality inspection over traditional methods. The consequence of a broad display of nanomaterials has paved the path for their relevance in designing high-performance ECSs appliances for medical diagnostics and conditions and food protection. This review article has discussed the importance of electrochemical-based sensors amplified with carbon-based nanomaterials (CNMs). Initially, we have demonstrated the types of pharmaceutical and food/agriculture pollutants (such as pesticides, heavy metals, antibiotics and other medical drugs) present in water. Subsequently, we have compiled the information on electrochemical techniques (such as voltammetric and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy) and their crucial parameters for detecting pollutants. Further, the applications of CNMs for sensing pharmaceutical and food pollutants have been demonstrated in detail. Finally, the topic has been concluded with existing challenges and future prospects.

Electrochemical Sensing of Favipiravir with an Innovative Water-Dispersible Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Based on the Bimetallic Metal-Organic Framework: Comparison of Morphological Effects. BIOSENSORS 2022; 12:bios12090769. [PMID: 36140154 PMCID: PMC9496828 DOI: 10.3390/bios12090769] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2022] [Revised: 09/15/2022] [Accepted: 09/16/2022] [Indexed: 05/22/2023]
Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are widely used as modifiers in electrochemical sensors due to their high sensitivity and promise of inexpensive mass manufacturing. Here, we propose and demonstrate a novel MIP-sensor that can measure the electrochemical activity of favipiravir (FAV) as an antiviral drug, thereby enabling quantification of the concentration of FAV in biological and river water samples and in real-time. MOF nanoparticles’ application with various shapes to determine FAV at nanomolar concentrations was described. Two different MOF nanoparticle shapes (dodecahedron and sheets) were systematically compared to evaluate the electrochemical performance of FAV. After carefully examining two different morphologies of MIP-Co-Ni@MOF, the nanosheet form showed a higher performance and efficiency than the nanododecahedron. When MIP-Co/Ni@MOF-based and NIP-Co/Ni@MOF electrodes (nanosheets) were used instead, the minimum target concentrations detected were 7.5 × 10−11 (MIP-Co-Ni@MOF) and 8.17 × 10−9 M (NIP-Co-Ni@MOF), respectively. This is a significant improvement (>102), which is assigned to the large active surface area and high fraction of surface atoms, increasing the amount of greater analyte adsorption during binding. Therefore, water-dispersible MIP-Co-Ni@MOF nanosheets were successfully applied for trace-level determination of FAV in biological and water samples. Our findings seem to provide useful guidance in the molecularly imprinted polymer design of MOF-based materials to help establish quantitative rules in designing MOF-based sensors for point of care (POC) systems.

Abstract
4-aminophenol (4-AP) is one of the major environmental pollutants which is broadly exploited as drug intermediate in the pharmaceutical formulations. The extensive release of 4-AP in the environment without treatment has become a serious issue that has led several health effects on humans. This work describe the determination of 4-AP through a new chemically modified sensor based on polyvinyl alcohol functionalized tungsten oxide/reduced graphene oxide (PVA/WO3/rGO) nanocomposite. The fabricated nanocomposite was characterized through XRD and HR-TEM to confirm the crystalline structure with average size of 35.9 nm and 2D texture with ultra-fine sheets. The electrochemical characterization of fabricated sensor was carried out by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) to ensure the charge transfer kinetics of modified sensor that revealed high conductivity of PVA/WO3/rGO/GCE. Under optimized conditions e.g. scan rate 80 mV/s, phosphate buffer (pH 6) as supporting electrolyte and potential window from -0.2 to 0.8 V, the prepared sensor showed excellent response for 4-AP. The linear dynamic range of developed method was optimized as 0.003-70 μM. The LOD of fabricated sensor based on PVA/WO3/rGO/GCE for 4-AP was calculated as 0.51 nM. The practical application of PVA/WO3/rGO/GCE was tested in real water and pharmaceutical samples. The fabricated sensor presented here, exhibited exceptional stability and sensitivity than the reported sensors and could be effectively used for the monitoring 4-AP without interferences.

Abstract
The manganese is successfully induced as a "bridge joint" to fabricate a new adsorbent (CNC-Mn-PEI) connecting cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) and polyethyleneimine (PEI) respectively. It was used to remove As (III) from waste water. It has been proved that the incompact CNC and PEI were successfully connected by Mn ions, which induced the formation of O-Mn-O bonds and the removal efficiency is maintained in the broad pH range of 4-8, even with the influence of NO3- and CO32-. The CNC-Mn-PEI was characterized by Brunauer-Emmett-Telley (BET) method and the results showed that the nanoparticle of the specific surface area was 106.5753 m2/g, it has a significant improvement, compared with CNC-Mn-DW (0.1918 m2/g). The isotherm and kinetic parameters of arsenic removal on CNC-Mn-PEI were well-fitted by the Langmuir and pseudo-second-order models. The maximum adsorption capacities toward As (III) was 78.02 mg/g. After seven regeneration cycles, the removal of As (III) by the adsorbent decreased from 80.78% to 68.2%. Additionally, the hypothetical adsorption mechanism of "bridge joint" effect was established by FTIR and XPS, which provided the three activated sites from CNC-Mn-PEI can improve the arsenic removal efficiency, and providing a new stratagem for the arsenic pollution treatment.

Abstract
A novel, sensitive, fast, and pratic RP-HPLC methods were presented for the quantitative amounts of Telmisartan (TEL) and Olmesartan (OLM) in the presence of Amlodipin (AML) in a binary mixture of pharmaceutical preparation. Waters Spherisorb ODS-2 C18 column was used for separation. These methods were valid over linearity ranges of 2.5-30 μμg/mlL, 2-85 μμg/mlL, and 2-35 μμg/mlL for OLM, TEL, and AML, respectively. The mobile phase system consisted of acetonitrile:methanol: phosphate buffer at pH 3.0 (65:5:30 v/v/v), and the flow rate was 1,5 mlL/min for OLM and AML. The mobile system's other mixture (TEL and AML) was acetonitrile:methanol: phosphate buffer at pH 2.5 (65:5:30 v/v/v), and the flow rate was 1,5 mlL/min. These procedures were successfully applied to bulk, laboratory synthetic mixture, and medicinal dosage forms to use active ingredients quantitatively. The studied methods were validated according to ICH guidelines. In the developed HPLC method, the limit of detection values was found to be 0.020 μμg/mlL for TEL, 0.025 μμg/mlL for OML, and 0.070 μμg/mlL for AML. The correlation coefficients for the HPLC method were found to be 0.9938 for TEL, 0.9996 for OML, and 0.9982 for AML. The calibration range is between 2.5 and -30, 5-35, and 2-85 μμg/mlL for OLM, AML, and TEL, respectively. The proposed HPLC method is a convenient, effective, sensitive, green, and time-saving method for the rapid determination of TEL and OLM in the presence of AML.

Abstract
Development of electrochemical sensors for important drugs such nicotine (an addictive drug) is important for the society. This study reports the electrochemical detection of nicotine at a carbon nanofiber/poly (amidoamine) dendrimer modified glassy carbon electrode. The carbon nanofiber (CNF) modified GCE was prepared by drop-coating followed by the electrodeposition of generation 4 poly (amidoamine) succinamic acid dendrimer (PAMAM) to form the sensor - CNF-PAMAM GCE. Characterization of prepared materials and modified electrodes was carried out using Fourier transmission infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The CNF-PAMAM composite was confirmed by microscopy. A marked reduction in charge transfer resistance and increase in current of the CNF-PAMAM GCE in comparison to the bare electrode showed a synergic improvement electrochemical response because of the CNF-PAMAM nanocomposite. The CNF-PAMAM demonstrated an enhanced performance in the oxidation of nicotine in comparison to the bare GCE by shifting the anodic potential Epa of nicotine from 0.9 V to 0.8 V. The electrochemical sensor achieved a detection limit (LOD) of 0.02637 μM in the concentration range of 0.4815-15.41 μM of nicotine in 0.1 M PBS at pH 7.5. The sensor ability to determine nicotine in real samples was assessed in cigarettes obtaining recovery percentages of 88.00 and 97.42%. The sensor demonstrated selectivity toward nicotine in the presence of interferences. Finally, the method was validated by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy analysis.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, phenolic compounds have been broadly exploited in the industries to be utilized in several applications including polycarbonate plastic, food containers, epoxy resins, etc. One of the major compounds in phenolics is Bisphenol-S (BPS) which has dominantly replaced Bisphenol-A in several applications. Phenolic compounds are extensively drained into the environment without proper treatment and cause several health hazards. Thus, to tackle this serious problem an electrochemical sensor based on SnO2/GCE has been successfully engineered to monitor the low-level concentration of BPS in water samples. The fabrication of SnO2 nanoparticles (SnO2 NPs) was confirmed through FTIR, XRD, and TEM to examine the size, crystallinity, internal texture, and functionalities of the prepared material. The fabricated material was exploited as a chemically modified sensor for the determination of BPS in water samples collected from different sources. Under optimal conditions such as scan sweep 100 mV/s, PBS electrolyte pH of 6, potential window (0.3-1.3 V), the proposed sensor manifested an excellent response for BPS. The LOD of the present method for BPS was calculated as 0.007 μM, respectively. Moreover, the stability and selectivity profile of SnO2/GCE for BPS in the real matrix was examined to be outstanding.

Abstract
Liver and pancreatic tumors are among the third leading causes of cancer-associated death worldwide. In addition to poor prognosis, both cancer types are diagnosed at advanced and metastatic stages without typical prior symptoms. Unfortunately, the existing theranostic approaches are inefficient in cancer diagnosis and treatment. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted increasing attention in this context due to their distinct properties, including variable functionalization capability, biocompatibility, and excellent thermodynamic and optical features. As a consequence, they are now regarded as one of the most promising materials for this application. The current review aims to summarize and discuss the role of CNT in pancreatic and liver cancer theranostics. Accordingly, the breakthroughs achieved so far are classified based on the cancer type and analyzed in detail. The most feasible tactics utilizing CNT-based solutions for both cancer diagnosis and treatment are presented from the biomedical point of view. Finally, a future outlook is provided, which anticipates how the R&D community can build on the already developed methodologies and the subsequent biological responses of the pancreatic and liver cancer cells to the directed procedures.

Abstract
Considering the low concentration levels of bisphenol compounds present in environmental, food, and biological samples, and the difficulty in analyzing the matrices, the main challenge is with the cleanup and extraction process, as well as developing highly sensitive determination methods. Recent advances in the field of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) due to their large surface area, low weight, and other extraordinary physical, chemical, and mechanical features have made these porous materials a crucial agent in developing biosensing assays. This review focuses on MOFs across their definition, structural features, various types, synthetic routes, and their significant utilization in sensing assays for bisphenol A (BPA) determination. Additionally, recent improvements in characteristics and physio-chemical features of MOFs and their functional applications in developing electrochemical and optical sensing assays via different recognition elements for detecting BPA are comprehensively discussed. Finally, the existing boundaries of the current advances including future challenges concerning successful construction of sensing approaches by employing functionalized MOFs are addressed.

Abstract
In the last few decades, pharmaceuticals, credited with saving millions of lives, have emerged as a new class of environmental contaminants. These compounds can have both chronic and acute harmful effects on aquatic ecosystems and consequently on human health. Therefore, there is an urgent need for the development of extremely sensitive, portable, and low-cost devices to perform analysis. In the present review article, recent reports on the application of various voltammetric and photo-electrochemical techniques using different electrode materials for the determination of antibiotic Ciprofloxacin (CIPRO) are reported. This review provides an insight into direct and indirect electrochemical approaches as well as the photoelectrochemical methods used for the determination of CIPRO. Emphasis is put on the applications of unmodified and modified carbon-based electrodes considering the modifier, supporting electrolytes, analytical method, concentration range, limit of detection, and real matrices. Carbon-based electrodes are the most used materials attributed to their commercial availability, reduced cost, high chemical stability, and non-toxicity.

Abstract
Since breast cancer is the commonly cause of death among women around the world, diagnosis at the early stages is significantly important to prevent the metastasis of the cancer. Among the various growth factors that are involved in angiogenesis, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is believed to be the most important factor. Overexpressed VEGF receptor on tumors surface, is particularly interesting for cancer cells targeting purposes. In this study, citric acid dendrimer conjugated with VEGF antagonist peptide was synthesized. The obtained product was confirmed by FT-IR, TEM, DLS, and EDS. In vitro cytotoxicity assay showed no toxicity on normal cells and indicated the notably dose-dependence toxicity on cancer cells. Box-Behnken software as a computational method was used to determine the optimum amount of radiolabeling parameters. Optimized parameters for reducing agent, dendrimer-anti-VEGF, and time were 1.4 mg, 17.5 mg, and about 30 min respectively. Radiochemical purity of radio-labeled conjugated dendrimer was determined about 90 percent. SPECT imaging was done to observe the in vivo accumulation of dendrimer-anti-VEGF in the tumor site. Images showed high accumulation of radio-tracer in the tumor region. All in all, obtained results confirmed our hypothesis that the dendrimer-anti-VEGF can be a good radio-tracer for diagnosis of cancer.

Abstract
The mass production and application of graphene have gradually expanded from academic research to industrial applications, which will inevitably lead to graphene entering the soil actively and passively. Therefore, the relationship between graphene and the pedosphere has attracted a lot of attention in the last decade. The most important question is whether graphene will harm soil health. Fortunately, the evidence is that graphene can alter soil physicochemical properties and microbial communities to some extent, but not dramatically. On this basis, the role of graphene in soil has been investigated in all directions. This review summarizes the literature on the relationship between graphene and soils. Topics include remediation and sensing of soil using graphene materials, the effects of graphene on soil, and the effects of graphene in soil on plant growth. At the same time, this review also uses bibliometrics to review the history of the topic. The number of papers published each year, participating countries, participating institutions and important articles were analyzed in detail. Finally, based on the published literature, we described the future perspectives of graphene and the pedosphere.

An improved electrochemical sensor based on triton X-100 functionalized SnO 2 nanoparticles for ultrasensitive determination of cadmium. CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 300:134634. [PMID: 35439494 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.134634] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2022] [Revised: 04/04/2022] [Accepted: 04/13/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
The drastic increases in the concentration of heavy metals ions in the environment have become a serious concern for a number of years. Heavy metals pose serious impacts on human and aquatic life and cause severe health hazards. Amongst heavy metals, cadmium is known for its lethal effects on human health as it easily reacts with enzymes and creates free radicals in the biological system that causes carcinogenicity and other serious diseases. Thus, to tackle this challenge, TX-100 SnO2 nanoparticles based chemically modified sensor is introduced to assess the quantity of Cd+2 in the water system. The engineered SnO2 nanoparticles were electrochemically characterized through cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy to ensure the better charge transfer kinetics and electrocatalytic properties of fabricated sensors. Under the optimized conditions e.g., scan rate 80 mV/s, PBS electrolyte pH 7, and potential window (-0.2 to -1.4 V), the engineered TX-100/SnO2/GCE-based sensor manifested a phenomenal response for cadmium ions in water media. The LOD and LOQ of developed TX-100/SnO2/GCE were calculated in the nanomolar range as 0.0084 nM and 0.27 nM. The recovery values of the proposed method for Cd+2 were found in an acceptable limit that witnesses the effectiveness of the fabricated sensor. Moreover, the excellent stability and anti-interference behavior of the sensor highlights its dynamic profile to be commercially utilized for the determination of Cd+2 ions in water bodies.
