Abstract
Paraquat (PQ) is a widely used and harmful herbicide that must be detected in the environment. This study reports a novel composite (CoS2-GCN) prepared by assembling cobalt disulfide (CoS2) derived from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) on graphitic carbon nitride (GCN). An electrochemical sensor (CoS2-GCN/ glassy carbon electrode (GCE)) was successfully prepared by modifying CoS2-GCN onto a GCE to sensitively detect PQ. Different concentrations of PQ were detected using square-wave voltammetry, and the CoS2-GCN/GCE electrochemical sensor showed remarkable response signals for PQ in the range of 20 - 1000 nM and 1 - 13 μM, with a detection limit of 4.13 nM (S/N = 3). The CoS2-GCN/GCE electrochemical sensor exhibited high stability, reproducibility, and immunity to interference, which were attributed to the synergistic effects of CoS2 and GCN. In addition, the CoS2-GCN/GCE electrochemical sensor showed high applicability for the analysis of fruit samples. Therefore, the proposed sensor has potential applications in PQ detection.

Abstract
Pesticides are heavily employed compounds protecting crops, however, these compounds can be extremely harmful to human health. Once the monitoring of pesticides in foods is of great importance, in this work we propose a ready-to-use electrochemical sensor made with 3D printing technology, capable of detecting paraquat and carbendazim in sequential analysis. The proposed electrodes are lab-made and of easy obtention, composed of graphite on a polylactic acid matrix, and provided great results for the analysis of paraquat and carbendazim in honey, milk, juice, and water samples. The sequential analysis of paraquat and carbendazim was proposed, providing optimal analysis of both compounds individually when both are present in a mixture. Limits of detection of 0.01 and 0.03 µmol/L for paraquat and carbendazim, respectively. Recovery tests attested to the suitability of the method, ranging from 94.5 to 113.7 %, and the suitability of 3D printing for environmental and food samples analysis.

Abstract
Waste management is a key feature to ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns, and to combat the impacts of climate change. In this scenario, the production of biochar from different biomasses results in environmental and economic advantages. In this study, biochar was produced from sugarcane bagasse pyrolysis, to immobilize biomolecules, in order to assemble an electrochemical immunosensor to detect antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. For this, screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCE) were modified with a dispersion of biochar and used to immobilize the receptor-binding-domain (RBD) against virus S-protein, through EDC/NHS crosslinking reaction. Under the best set of experimental conditions, negative and positive serum samples responses distinguished based on a cutoff value of 82.3 %, at a 95 % confidence level. The immunosensor showed selective behavior to antibodies against yellow fever and its performance was stable up to 7 days of storage. Therefore, biochar yielded from sugarcane bagasse is an ecofriendly material that can be used as a platform to immobilize biomolecules for construction of electrochemical biosensors.

Abstract
Enzymatic electrochemical biosensors play an important role in the agri-food sector due to the need to develop sustainable, low-cost, and easy-to-use analytical devices. Such biosensors can be used to monitor pathogens, endocrine disruptors, and pesticides, such as carbaryl, widely used in many crops. The use of renewable carbon (RC) sources, provided from biomass pyrolysis has been often applied in the fabrication of such sensors. This material is a great candidate for biosensor fabrication due to the presence of surface functional groups, porosity, and moderate surface area. This work describes the functionalization of RC material through an acid treatment with a sulfonitric solution HNO3/H2SO4 (1:3) and the resulting material was characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The obtained RC functionalized (RCF) and the acetylcholinesterase enzyme (AChE) were applied in the construction of the electrochemical biosensor on glassy carbon (GC) electrode and used to detect carbaryl in apple samples. The GC/RCF/AChE biosensor was able to detect the carbaryl pesticide from 5.0 to 30.0 nmol L−1, displaying a LOD of 4.5 nmol L−1. The detection of carbaryl in apple samples presented recoveries between 102.5 to 118.6% through the standard addition method. The proposed biosensor is a promising renewable tool for food safety.

Abstract
A novel electrochemical sensor based on activated biochar (AB4) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was developed and tested for detection of paraquat (PQ) in food samples. Precursor biochar was obtained by the pyrolysis of water hyacinth biomass at 400, 500, and 600 °C, followed by a chemical activation step using HNO3 to increase the amount of oxygenated and nitrogenated groups. The modified electrodes (rGO-AB4) were tested in different experimental conditions, and exhibited good response under the optimized conditions, showing linearity from 0.74 to 9.82 μmol L-1 and a limit of detection and limit of quantification of 0.02 μmolL-1 and 0.07 μmol L-1, respectively. Interfering species such as glyphosate caused insignificant changes in the peak current of paraquat, and the selectivity of the method was tested using blank and spiked samples of coconut water, wastewater, honey, lettuce and lemon. Recovery ranged from 87.70±2.07% to 103.80±3.94%.

Abstract
Paraquat, one of non-selective herbicides, is widely used in agricultural production. However, it can cause death of people or animals quickly owing to its fatal toxicity. In the present work, for efficient separation and removal of the paraquat, a concept "employ collaboration effect to enhance the Host-Guest interactions" was rationally introduced into the design of paraquat adsorbent material. According to this concept, a novel linear tri-pillar[5]arene-based acceptor molecule was synthesized. Interestingly, the acceptor shows outstanding adsorption properties for paraquat through the collaboration effect of the adjacent pillar[5]arene moieties in the linear tri-pillar[5]arene acceptor. Compared with other adsorbents such as activated carbon and single-pillar[5]arene-based adsorbent materials, the linear tri-pillar[5]arene acceptor shows higher adsorption rate for paraquat. Additionally, the linear tri-pillar[5]arene acceptor was applied to adsorb the commercial pesticide paraquat sample in water with adsorption rate of 98%. Therefore, the linear tri-pillar[5]arene acceptor could serve as a paraquat adsorbent material and convey greatly potential application in the field of removal of paraquat. The concept "employ collaboration effect to enhance the Host-Guest interactions" is a useful way for the development of adsorption materials.

Abstract
For the first time, a nanocomposite based on biochar and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was employed to construct a modified carbon paste electrode and applied for the determination of carbendazim (CBZ). Biochar was obtained by through pyrolysis of Eichhornia crassipes biomass, also known how "Aguapé" at 400 °C. The modified electrode with our nanocomposite proposal shows to be able to preconcentrate CBZ and presented the highest analytical response in comparison to the unmodified electrode and by the electrodes prepared with the proposed materials separately. Using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) under optimized conditions, the sensor showed a linear dynamic response (LDR) from 30 to 900 nmol L-1, a limit of detection (LOD) of 2.3 nmol L-1 and limit of quantification (LOQ) of 7.7 nmol L-1. No significant influence of inorganic ions or organic compounds on sensor response was verified, considering the recovery evaluation data. The proposed sensor was successfully applied for the determination of CBZ in spiked whole orange juice, lettuce leaves, drinking water, and wastewater samples. Good recovery values were found using the ex-situ methodology, showing excellent analytical performance of the electrochemical sensor based on biochar and rGO nanocomposite.

Abstract
In the present study, biochar from brewers’ spent grain was used, for the first time, to develop screen-printed electrodes. After having investigated the dispersion behaviour of biochar in different organic solvents, a biochar-based screen-printed electrode was prepared with the drop-casting technique. In order to understand the electrochemical potentiality and performances of the biochar/sensor tool, different electroactive species, i.e., ferricyanide, benzoquinone, epinephrine, ascorbic, and uric acids, were used. The results were compared with those of the same electrodes that were modified with commercial graphene, confirming that the proposed electrode showed improved electrochemical behaviour in terms of resolution, peak-to-peak separation, current intensity, and resistance to charge transfer. Furthermore, a tyrosinase biosensor was developed by direct immobilisation of this enzyme on the biochar/screen printed electrode, as an example of the potential of biochar for disposable biosensor development. The efficiently occurred immobilisation of the biochar on the screen printed electrode’s (SPE’s) surface was demonstrated by the observation of the working electrode with a scanning electron microscope. The detection was performed by measuring the current due to the reduction of the corresponding quinone at low potential, equal to −0.310 V for epinephrine. The experimental conditions for the tyrosinase immobilization and the analytical parameters, such as applied potential and pH of buffer, were studied and optimized. Under these conditions, the electrochemical biosensors were characterized. A linear working range of epinephrine was obtained from 0.05 up to 0.5 mM. The detection limit was 2 × 10−4 mM for the biosensor.

Abstract
Paraquat (1,10-dimethyl-4,40-dipyridinium chloride), also known as methyl viologen, is widely used as a quaternary ammonium herbicide (broadleaf weed killer) all over the world owing to its excellent effect in plant cells for crop protection and horticultural use. However, it is dangerous because of its high acute toxicity even at low concentrations. Its detection in the environment is therefore necessary. As a consequence of its widespread usage, it causes genotoxic, teratogenic as well as other environmental and ecological adverse impacts. Exposure to PQ leads to a high mortality rate because no specific drug is effective for treatment. Excessive consumption of PQ can cause cellular damage and necrosis in the brain, heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys. The diversity and sensitivity of the analyses currently required have forced the experimenter to use more advanced and efficient techniques, which can provide qualitative and quantitative results in complex environments. Electrochemical methods generally meet these criteria while offering other advantages to achieve excellent accuracy and fast handling. This paper provides an overview of the determination of PQ using electrochemical methods combined with several modified electrodes in food samples, including milk, apple juice, tomato juice, and potato juice. Emphasis was placed on the most relevant modifiers used to generate high selectivity and sensitivity such as noble metals, metallic nanoparticles, polymers, biomolecules, clay, and apatite minerals. Comprehensively, it is strongly convincing that the synergy between the sensor substrate and the modifier architecture gives the electrodes a high capacity to detect paraquat in complex matrices such as food. In line with the context, information's on the mechanism of electrooxidation or reduction of PQ has been reported with the discussion of some future prospects and some insights. To the best of our knowledge, there is no review article relating the electrochemical determination of paraquat.

Abstract
In this paper, a novel electrochemical sensor based on Au nanoparticles/8-aminoquinoline functionalized graphene oxide (AuNPs/GAQ) nanocomposite was developed and tested for the first time for detection of paraquat (PQ). The morphology and composition of AuNPs/GAQ nanocomposite were characterized by various techniques, including transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry were utilized to investigate the electrochemical performances of AuNPs/GAQ nanocomposite modified glassy carbon electrode. The obtained modified electrode exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity towards detection of PQ. Under the optimized conditions, the proposed sensor showed low detection limit (6 nM, S/N = 3), wide linear range (0.02-24 μM), high selectivity and good stability. In addition, it was successfully applied for detection of PQ in natural water samples with satisfactory results.

Abstract
An electrochemical tyrosinase enzyme (Tyr) biosensor using a highly conductive sugarcane derived biochar nanoparticle (BCNP) as a transducer and signal enhancer (BCNPs/Tyr/Nafion/GCE) was developed for the sensitive detection of bisphenol A (BPA). The BCNPs/Tyr/Nafion/GCE biosensor exhibited improved amperometric current responses such as higher sensing signal, decreased impedance and lowered reduction potential compared with the Tyr/Nafion/GCE due to high conductivity property of the biochar nanoparticle. Under the optimized conditions, it could detect BPA in good sensitivity with linear range from 0.02 to 10 μM, and a lowest detection limit of 3.18 nM. Moreover, it showed a low Km value, high reproducibility and good selectivity over other reagents, and the BCNPs/Tyr complex solution also showed good stability with 86.9% of sensing signal maintained after one month storage. The biosensor was also successfully utilized for real water detection with high accuracy as validated by high performance liquid chromatography. Therefore, the biochar nanoparticle based enzyme biosensor proved to be a potential and reliable method for high performance detection of pollutants in the environment.

Abstract
An electrochemical method was developed for rapid and sensitive detection of the herbicide paraquat in aqueous samples using mesoporous silica thin film modified glassy carbon electrodes (GCE). Vertically aligned mesoporous silica thin films were deposited onto GCE by electrochemically assisted self-assembly (EASA). Cyclic voltammetry revealed effective response to the cationic analyte (while rejecting anions) thanks to the charge selectivity exhibited by the negatively charged mesoporous channels. Square wave voltametry (SWV) was then used to detect paraquat via its one electron reduction process. Influence of various experimental parameters (i.e., pH, electrolyte concentration, and nature of electrolyte anions) on sensitivity was investigated and discussed with respect to the mesopore characteristics and accumulation efficiency, pointing out the key role of charge distribution in such confined spaces on these processes. Calibration plots for paraquat concentration ranging from 10 nM to 10 μM were constructed at mesoporous silica modified GCE which were linear with increasing paraquat concentration, showing dramatically enhanced sensitivity (almost 30 times) as compared to nonmodified electrodes. Finally, real samples from Meuse River (France) spiked with paraquat, without any pretreatment (except filtration), were analyzed by SWV, revealing the possible detection of paraquat at very low concentration (10-50 nM). Limit of detection (LOD) calculated from real sample analysis was found to be 12 nM, which is well below the permissible limits of paraquat in drinking water (40-400 nM) in various countries.

Abstract
Biochar is a carbonaceous material similar produced by pyrolysis of biomass under oxygen-limited conditions. Pyrolysis temperature is an important parameter that can alters biochar characteristics (e.g. surface area, pore size distribution and surface functional groups) and affects it efficacy for adsorption of several probes. In this work, biochar samples have been prepared from castor oil cake using different temperatures of pyrolysis (200-600°C). For the first time, a voltammetric procedure based on carbon paste modified electrode (CPME) was used to investigate the effect of temperature of pyrolysis on the adsorptive characteristics of biochar for Pb(II), Cd(II) and Cu(II) ions. Besides the electrochemical techniques, several characterizations have been performed to evaluate the physicochemical properties of biochar in function of the increase of the pyrolysis temperature. Results suggest that biochar pyrolized at 400°C (BC400) showed a better potential for ions adsorption. The CPME modified with BC400 showed better relative current signal with adsorption affinity: Pb(II)>Cd(II)>Cu(II). Kinetic studies revealed that the pseudo-second order model describes more accurately the adsorption process suggesting that the surface reactions control the adsorption rate. Values found for amount adsorbed were 15.94±0.09; 4.29±0.13 and 2.38±0.39μgg(-1) for Pb(II), Cd(II) and Cu(II) ions, respectively.
