One-Pot Preparation of Ratiometric Fluorescent Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Nanosensor for Sensitive and Selective Detection of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid. SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 24:5039. [PMID: 39124086 PMCID: PMC11315029 DOI: 10.3390/s24155039] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2024] [Revised: 07/31/2024] [Accepted: 08/01/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024]
Abstract
The development of fluorescent molecular imprinting sensors for direct, rapid, and sensitive detection of small organic molecules in aqueous systems has always presented a significant challenge in the field of detection. In this study, we successfully prepared a hydrophilic colloidal molecular imprinted polymer (MIP) with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) using a one-pot approach that incorporated polyglycerol methacrylate (PGMMA-TTC), a hydrophilic macromolecular chain transfer agent, to mediate reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer precipitation polymerization (RAFTPP). To simplify the polymerization process while achieving ratiometric fluorescence detection, red fluorescent CdTe quantum dots (QDs) and green fluorescent nitrobenzodiazole (NBD) were introduced as fluorophores (with NBD serving as an enhancer to the template and QDs being inert). This strategy effectively eliminated background noise and significantly improved detection accuracy. Uniform-sized MIP microspheres with high surface hydrophilicity and incorporated ratiometric fluorescent labels were successfully synthesized. In aqueous systems, the hydrophilic ratio fluorescent MIP exhibited a linear response range from 0 to 25 μM for the template molecule 2,4-D with a detection limit of 0.13 μM. These results demonstrate that the ratiometric fluorescent MIP possesses excellent recognition characteristics and selectivity towards 2,4-D, thus, making it suitable for selective detection of trace amounts of pesticide 2,4-D in aqueous systems.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) as artificial synthetic receptors are in high demand for food analysis due to their inherent molecular recognition abilities. It is common practice to employ functional monomers with basic or acidic groups that can interact with analyte molecules via hydrogen bonds, covalent bonds, and other interactions (π-π, dipole-ion, hydrophobic, and Van der Waals). Therefore, selecting the appropriate functional monomer and cross-linker is crucial for determining how precisely they interact with the template and developing the polymeric network's three-dimensional structure. This study summarizes the advancements made in MIP's functional monomers and cross-linkers for food analysis from 2018 to 2023. The subsequent computational design of MIP has been thoroughly explained. The discussion has concluded with a look at the difficulties and prospects for MIP in food analysis.

Abstract
Among the tetracycline antibiotics, chlortetracycline (CTC) is the most frequently used antibiotic except for tetracycline (TC) for enhancing the ability of the organism to fight bacterial infections. The poor metabolism and degradability of CTC can cause serious health effects. Most studies have focused on the detection and analysis of TC, and research on CTC is relatively scarce. This is because the structures of CTC and TC and oxytetracycline (OTC) are extremely similar, and even indistinguishable. In this study, CTC was used as a template molecule and a molecularly imprinted layer was coated on the surface of highly fluorescent N-CDs using a reversed-phase microemulsion method to form N-CDs@MIPs. It was possible to specifically identify CTC without the influence of TC and OTC, which are extremely similar in structure. By comparing with the non-imprinted polymer (N-CDs@NIPs), it exhibited high sensitivity and selectivity with an imprinting factor of 2.02. And it was used in the determination of CTC in milk with recoveries and relative standard deviations of 96.7%-109.8% and 0.64%-3.27%, respectively, with high accuracy and precision. The specificity of the measurement is excellent compared with other assays, and it is a valid and reliable assay.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted fluorescent carbon dots (MI-FCDs) find numerous applications in analytical chemistry due to their outstanding photoluminescent properties and having specific pockets for the recognition of target molecules. Despite significant advances, practical applications of MI-FCDs-based fluorescent sensors are still in their initial stages. Therefore, the topical developments in the synthesis, working, and application of MI-FCDs for sensing various target species (e.g., pharmaceuticals, biomolecules, pesticides, food additives, and miscellaneous species) in food and biological media have been highlighted. Moreover, a careful evaluation has been made to select the best methods based on their performance in terms of analytical parameters. To expand the horizons of this field, important challenges and future directions for developing MI-FCDs for practical use are also presented. This review will highlight important aspects of MI-FCDs-based fluorescent sensors for their applicability in food science, material science, environmental science, nanoscience, and biotechnology.

Abstract
Antibiotics are widely used as bacteriostatic or bactericidal agents against various microbial infections in humans and animals. The excessive use of antibiotics has led to an accumulation of their residues in food products, which ultimately poses a threat to human health. In light of the shortcomings of conventional methods for antibiotic detection (primarily cost, proficiency, and time-consuming procedures), the development of robust, accurate, on-site, and sensitive technologies for antibiotic detection in foodstuffs is important. Nanomaterials with amazing optical properties are promising materials for developing the next generation of fluorescent sensors. In this article, advances in detecting antibiotics in food products are discussed with respect to their sensing applications, with a focus on fluorescent nanomaterials such as metallic nanoparticles, upconversion nanoparticles, quantum dots, carbon-based nanomaterials, and metal-organic frameworks. Furthermore, their performance is evaluated to promote the continuation of technical advances.

Abstract
Rapid detection of genistein in soya products has remained difficult. Current methods necessitate sample handling and use of costly instruments. Here, using a simple one-pot reverse microemulsion method, a sensor based on N-doped carbon dots conjugated molecularly imprinted polymers (N-CDs@MIPs) was synthesized to analyze genistein. N-doped carbon dots were used as fluorescent component, genistein as the template molecule, and molecularly imprinted polymers as the selective sorbent in this fluorescence sensor. The sensor was then examined and optical studies demonstrated that N-CDs@MIPs not only had strong fluorescence emission and outstanding optical stability, but also had good sensitivity (detection limit 35.7 nM) and selectivity to genistein. Furthermore, the N-CDs@MIPs materials were used to analyze genistein in soya products, and the findings (which ranged from 99.77% to 106.11%) show that the N-CDs@MIPs has high potential for quickly detecting the amount of genistein in complicated food samples.

Abstract
The compound 17β-oestradiol (E2) is a steroidal oestrogen used extensively in food processing and animal husbandry. As E2 is well-known as a typical endocrine disrupting chemical, its release, penetration, and exposure create serious environmental concerns. Carbon dots (CDs) have attracted great attention due to their excellent fluorescent and non-toxic properties. To help improve the selectivity of CDs, they can be combined with molecularly-imprinted polymers (MIPs). In light of the limitations involved in the fabrication of MIP layer on CDs (e.g., time consumption and low controllability of imprinted layer), the mussel inspired dopamine self-polymerization can be considered as an alternative option. As functional monomer in molecular imprinted technology, dopamine can be used efficiently to polymerize in weak alkaline condition (e.g., formation of polydopamine). In this research, a new method was developed for selective and sensitive fluorescent detection of E2 based on self-polymerization of dopamine (functional monomer) on fluorescent carbon dots (CDs@MI-PDA). The developed sensor selectively binds with E2 to quench the fluorescence intensity of CDs by photo-induced electron transfer. The sensor showcases a detection limit of E2 as 0.34 ng/mL with a linearity over 1-50 ng/mL. Furthermore, the probe was successfully applied to water (tap and river water) and milk samples with recoveries of 96.4-102.2 %. This study is expected to open a new path for the development of a simple and convenient detection approach for E2 present in complex matrices.

Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs) are carbon nanoparticles with sizes below 10 nm and have attracted attention due to their relatively low toxicity, great biocompatibility, water solubility, facile synthesis, and exceptional photoluminescence properties. Accordingly, CDs have been widely exploited in different sensing and biomedical applications, for example, metal sensing, catalysis, biosensing, bioimaging, drug and gene delivery, and theragnostic applications. Similarly, the well-known properties of silica, such as facile surface functionalization, good biocompatibility, high surface area, and tunable pore volume, have allowed the loading of diverse inorganic and organic moieties and nanoparticles, creating complex hybrid nanostructures that exploit distinct properties (optical, magnetic, metallic, mesoporous, etc.) for sensing, biosensing, bioimaging, diagnosis, and gene and drug delivery. In this context, CDs have been successfully grafted into diverse silica nanostructures through various synthesis methods (e.g., solgel chemistry, inverse microemulsion, surfactant templating, and molecular imprinting technology (MIT)), imparting hybrid nanostructures with multimodal properties for distinct objectives. This review discusses the recently employed synthesis methods for CDs and silica nanoparticles and their typical applications. Then, we focus on combined synthesis techniques of CD-silica nanostructures and their promising biosensing operations. Finally, we overview the most recent potential applications of these materials as innovative smart hybrid nanocarriers and theragnostic agents for the nanomedical field.

Abstract
The presence of antibiotics and their metabolites in milk and dairy products is a serious concern because of their harmful effects on human health. In the current study, a novel synergistic bimetallic nanocluster with gold and silver as an emission fluorescence probe was investigated for the simultaneous determination of tetracycline (TC), ampicillin (AMP), and sulfacetamide (SAC) antibiotics in the milk samples using excitation-emission matrix fluorescence (EEMF) spectroscopy. The multivariate curve resolution-alternating least squares (MCR-ALS) method was implemented to analyze augmented EEMF data sets to quantify the multicomponent systems in the presence of interferences with considerable spectral overlap. A pseudo-univariate calibration curve of the resolved emission spectra intensity against the concentration of the mentioned antibiotics was linear in the range of 5-5000 ng mL-1 for AMP and 50-5000 ng mL-1 for TC and SAC. The calculated values of the limit of detection ranged between 1.4 and 14.6 ng mL-1 with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of less than 4.9%. The obtained results show that the EEMF/MCR-ALS methodology using an emission fluorescence probe is a powerful tool for the simultaneous quantification of TC, AMP, and SAC in complex matrices with highly overlapped spectra.

Abstract
Residual antibiotics in food products originated from administration of the antibiotics to animals may be accumulated through food metabolism in the human body and endanger safety and health. Thus, developing a prompt and accurate way for detection of antibiotics is a crucial issue. The zero-dimensional fluorescent probes including metals based, carbon and graphene quantum dots (QDs), are highly sensitive materials to use for the detection of a wide range of antibiotics in natural products. These QDs demonstrate unique optical properties like tunable photoluminescence (PL) and excitation-wavelength dependent emission. This study investigates the trends related to carbon and metal based QDs preparation and modification, and their diverse detection application. We discuss the performance of QDs based sensors application in various detection systems such as photoluminescence, photoelectrochemical, chemiluminescence, electrochemiluminescence, colorimetric, as well as describing their working principles in several samples. The detecting mechanism of a QDs-based sensor is dependent on its properties and specific interactions with particular antibiotics. This review also tries to describe environmental application and future perspective of QDs for antibiotics detection.

Abstract
Serious threat from pesticide residues to the ecosystem and human health has become a global concern. Developing reliable methods for monitoring pesticides is a world-wide research hotspot. Carbon dots (CDs) with excellent photostability, low toxicity, and good biocompatibility have been regarded as the potential substitutes in fabricating various optical sensors for pesticide detection. Based on the relevant high-quality publications, this paper first summarizes the current state-of-the-art of the synthetic and modification approaches of CDs. Then, a comprehensive overview is given on the recent advances of CDs-based optical sensors for pesticides over the past five years, with a particular focus on photoluminescent, electrochemiluminescent and colorimetric sensors regarding the sensing mechanisms and design principles by integrating with various recognition elements including antibodies, aptamers, enzymes, molecularly imprinted polymers, and some nanoparticles. Novel functions and extended applications of CDs as signal indicators, catalyst, co-reactants, and electrode surface modifiers, in constructing optical sensors are specially highlighted. Beyond an assessment of the performances of the real-world application of these proposed optical sensors, the existing inadequacies and current challenges, as well as future perspectives for pesticide monitoring are discussed in detail. It is hoped to provide powerful insights for the development of novel CDs-based sensing strategies with their wide application in different fields for pesticide supervision.

Abstract
Molecular imprinting technology (MIT) has been considered as an attractive method to produce artificial receptors with the memory of size, shape and functional groups of the templates and has become an emerging technique with the potential in various fields due to recognitive specificity, high efficient selectivity and mechanical stability, which can effectively remove background interference and is suitable for the pre-treatment and analysis of trace level substances in complex matrix samples. Nearly 100 papers about the application of MIT in the detection of marine pollutants were found through Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE). On this basis, combined with the application of MIT in other fields, the pre-treatment process of marine environmental samples was summarized and the potential of four types of different molecularly imprinted materials in the pre-treatment and detection of marine organic pollutants (including antibiotics, triazines, organic dyes, hormones and shellfish toxins) samples was evaluated, which provides the innovative configurations and progressive applications for the analysis of marine samples, and also highlights future trends and perspectives in the emerging research field.

Abstract
Tetracycline (TET) is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, which is frequently used in the prevention and treatment of animal diseases, feed additives, and so on. However, its residue and accumulation in animal-derived foods could cause several side effects to the human body. Herein, we fabricated TET aptamer-pendant DNA tetrahedral nanostructure-functionalized magnetic beads (Apt-tet MBs) as a probe to detect TET. In the presence of target TET, DNA primer was released from Apt-tet MBs since the TET aptamer could specifically bind TET. Next, the separated DNA primer could effectively initiate rolling circle amplification (RCA) reaction and generate a long tandem single-stranded sequence. Finally, with SYBR Green I as the fluorescence dye, the fluorescence signal could be detected by detection probes through hybridizing the RCA product. Under optimal conditions, the fluorescent signal increased with the increasing target TET concentration within the 5 orders of magnitude dynamic range from 0.001 to 10 ng mL-1. The detection limit was calculated to be 0.724 pg mL-1 and the method showed high selectivity toward TET among different antibiotics. More impressively, this method was employed for TET determination in fish and honey samples. The as-obtained results were consistent with those of ELISA kits, holding great potential in the field of food analysis.

Abstract
This study focuses on optical nanosensors based on constant-wavelength synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy (SFS) and reviews their applications for analysis purposes in the last few decades. In comparison to conventional fluorescence, SFS shows a higher selectivity owing to the narrowing of spectral bands and the simplification of spectra. The reported SFS-based nanosensors are classified based on their mechanism for analyte detection into two types including quenching based methods and enhancement based methods. Herein, almost all studies performed in this field are reviewed and the details of each study are carefully explained. Moreover, the analytical properties of the reported nanosensors are tabulated in relevant tables. It is hoped that this study will stimulate further investigations in this field with similar nanosensors.

Abstract
Rapid and efficient detection of indoxacarb (IXC), a common chemical contaminant, in environmental and biological samples is necessary. In this work, a modern optical sensor was developed for IXC, based on environmentally friendly molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) coated on silica-carbon quantum dots (SiCQDs). A hydrothermal method was used to prepare highly fluorescence SiCQDs and, subsequently, MIP formed on surface (MIP@SiCQDs) using a sol-gel method. A linear relationship between the fluorescence quenching effect and increased IXC concentration was found for the range of 4-102 nM, under the optimal conditions, with a 1 nM detection limit. Precisions was of 4.5 and 2.3% for five replicate detections at 21 and 60 nM IXC, respectively. Applicability of the sensor for IXC quantification in environmental and biological samples was verified with recoveries in the range 95-106% with a relative standard deviation of <6.0%.

Abstract
Fluorescent nanoparticles have good chemical stability and photostability, controllable optical properties and larger stokes shift. In light of their designability and functionability, the fluorescent nanoparticles are widely used as the fluorescent probes for diverse applications. To enhance the sensitivity and selectivity, the combination of the fluorescent nanoparticles with the molecularly imprinted polymer, i.e. molecularly imprinted fluorescent nanoparticles (MIFN), was an effective way. The sensor based on MIFN (the MIFN sensor) could be more compatible with the complex sample matrix, which was especially widely adopted in medical and biological analysis. In this mini-review, the construction method, detective mechanism and types of MIFN sensors are elaborated. The current applications of MIFN sensors in pharmaceutical analysis, including pesticides/herbicide, veterinary drugs/drugs residues and human related proteins, are highlighted based on the literature in the recent three years. Finally, the research prospect and development trend of the MIFN sensor are forecasted.

Abstract
A fluorescence probe was delicately designed for the detection of malachite green (MG) in water and fish samples. Through the electrostatic self-assembly of CdTe QDs on the surface of polystyrene (PS) microspheres, the fluorescence signal was amplified. After grafting molecularly imprinted film, the fluorescence probe of MIP@PS@CdTe was fabricated and applied to the detection of MG based on fluorescence quenching. The linear range of MG detection was 0.01-20 μmol L-1, and the detection limit was 4.7 nmol L-1 (3σ, n = 9) which was much lower than those of the previous reports. The recoveries of MG in aquaculture water and fish samples ranging from 87.6% to 105.4% illustrated that the detection by MIP@PS@CdTe probe was accurate and reliable.

Abstract
A nanocomposite was prepared from a bifunctionalized ionic liquid, chitosan on magnetic nanoparticle-modified graphene oxide (IL/Chit@MGO). It was used in a chemiluminescencc (CL) assay for tetracycline. The materials were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm, vibrating sample magnetometry and zeta potentials. Subsequently, a tetracycline-binding aptamer (TC-Apt) acting as a recognition element, and G-quadruplex DNAzyme (G-DNAzyme) acting as a signal amplification component were modified on IL/Chit@MGO. So, the bifunctional G-DNAzyme/TC-Apt/IL/Chit@MGO was prepared. The IL/Chit@MGO is found to possess excellent loading capability for TC-Apt. This is attributed to the large specific surface and abundant charge on the surface of IL/Chit@MGO. The composite was used to construct a CL assay for tetracycline. Tetracycline binds to TC-Apt and causes the release of the G-DNAzyme. The latter catalyzes the CL of luminol-H2O2 CL system at pH 7.4. Under optimized conditions, the blue CL at the emission wavelength of 425 nm increases linearly in the 0.16 pM to 2.0 nM concentration range, and the detection limit is 21 fM (at 3σ). The assay is selective, reproducible and stable. The assay was applied to tetracycline detection in practical samples. The apparent recoveries are 98.0% to 101.3% for the milk sample and 97.0% to 102.2% for the water sample. Graphical abstractG-quadruplex DNAzyme (G-DNAzyme) and tetracycline aptamer (TC-Apt) bifunctionalized ionic liquid/chitosan@magnetic graphene oxide (IL/Chit@MGO) was prepared.

Meng L, Lan C, Liu Z, Xu N, Wu Y. A novel ratiometric fluorescence probe for highly sensitive and specific detection of chlorotetracycline among tetracycline antibiotics. Anal Chim Acta 2019; 1089:144-151. [PMID: 31627811 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2019.08.065] [Citation(s) in RCA: 45] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2019] [Revised: 08/26/2019] [Accepted: 08/27/2019] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
It is of great importance to detect chlorotetracycline (CTC) in a highly sensitive and specific way because of its wide distribution in aquaculture and animal husbandry. Herein, we propose a novel ratiometric fluorescence strategy to assay CTC by using bovine serum albumin stabilized gold nanoclusters (BSA-AuNCs). The BSA-AuNCs consisting of 25 gold atoms (Au25NCs) display a red emission at 640 nm (λex = 370 nm). In the presence of CTC, a new blue emission at 425 nm is emerged and its intensity dramatically increases with the addition of more the analyte; meanwhile the red emission at 640 nm shows a linear decrease reversely. However, at identical conditions neither the analogues of CTC as tetracycline (TC), oxytetracycline (OTC) or doxycycline (DC) induces similar response of BSA-AuNCs. Such interesting phenomenon is proven related to the conversion from large Au25NCs to smaller nanoclusters composing 8 gold atoms (Au8NCs), which intrinsically originate from the interaction between CTC and the ligand BSA. Therefore, a ratiometric probe is established to sensitively detect CTC in the wide range (0.2-10 μM) with a low limit of detection (LOD) at 65 nM. In addition, this strategy can also be applied to assay CTC in human serum, showing great promise for practical applications in future.

Abstract
We report on the development of new optical sensors using molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) combined with different materials and explore the novel strategies followed in order to overcome some of the limitations found during the last decade in terms of performance. This review pretends to offer a general overview, mainly focused on the last 3 years, on how the new fabrication procedures enable the synthesis of hybrid materials enhancing not only the recognition ability of the polymer but the optical signal. Introduction describes MIPs as biomimetic recognition elements, their properties and applications, emphasizing on each step of the fabrication/recognition procedure. The state of the art is presented and the change in the publication trend between electrochemical and optical sensor devices is thoroughly discussed according to the new fabrication and micro/nano-structuring techniques paving the way for a new generation of MIP-based optical sensors. We want to offer the reader a different perspective based on the materials science in contrast to other overviews. Different substrates for anchoring MIPs are considered and distributed in different sections according to the dimensionality and the nature of the composite, highlighting the synergetic effect obtained as a result of merging both materials to achieve the final goal.

Abstract
Ferulic acid (FA), an important phenolic acid, is widely distributed in higher plants and presents many pharmacological effects. Therefore, sensitive determination of FA in complex matrix is necessary. Molecularly imprinted polymers-coated CdTe quantum dots (CdTe-QDs@MIPs) exhibited incomparable advantages because of their combination of excellent selectivity of MIPs and high sensitivity of QDs. Here, a fluorescent probe based on CdTe-QDs@MIPs was successfully fabricated for selective and sensitive determination of FA. MIPs shell was obtained by the reverse microemulsion method using FA, 3-(aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES), and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), as template, functional monomer, and crosslinker. In optimal conditions, the fluorescence CdTe-QDs@MIPs sensor exhibited fast response (within only 3 min), high sensitivity (limit of detection, LOD at 0.85 μg/l), excellent linear ranges (2-100 μg/l) with a correlation coefficient of 0.9996, and distinguished selectivity for FA. Satisfactory recoveries from 91.8% to 110.3% were achieved with precisions below 6.6% for FA analysis in real pineapple juice and apple juice by developed CdTe-QDs@MIPs. The fluorescence results coincided well with those obtained by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). It could be concluded that the resultant CdTe-QDs@MIPs offered a new way for rapid and sensitive analysis of FA in the complex matrix.

Abstract
Fluorescence-based aptasensors possess high sensitivity but are complicated and usually require multistep labeling and modification in method design, which severely limit the practical applications. Here, a label-free fluorescence-based aptasensor, consisting of aptamer, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), and cadmium telluride (CdTe) quantum dots (QDs), was developed for the detection of sulfadimethoxine (SDM) in water and fish based on the specific recognition of SDM-aptamer and the inner filter effect of QDs and AuNPs. In the absence of a target, AuNPs dispersed in salt solution because of the aptamer protection, which could effectively quench the fluorescence emission of QDs, while in the presence of SDM, AuNPs aggregated due to the specific recognition of SDM-aptamer to SDM, which resulted in fluorescence recovery. A linear response of SDM concentrations in the range of 10-250 ng mL-1 ( R2 = 0.99) was obtained, and the detection limit was 1.54 ng mL-1 (3σ, n = 9), far below the maximum residue limit (100 ng mL-1) of SDM in edible animal tissues regulated by China and the European Commission. The fluorescence-based aptasensor was applied to the detection of SDM in aquaculture water and fish samples with high accuracy, excellent precision, and ideal selectivity. The results indicated that the developed aptasensor was simple in design, easy to operate, and could be used to detect rapidly and accurately SDM in water and fish samples.

Abstract
In this study, a molecularly imprinted polymer capable of recognizing 8 benzimidazoles was first synthesized. The computation simulation showed that the shape and size of used template were the main factors influencing its recognition ability. Then the polymer was used as recognition reagent to prepare a chemiluminescence sensor on conventional 96-well microplate. The sample solution and a HRP-labeled hapten were added into the microplate wells to perform competitive binding, and the light signal was initiated with 4-(imidazol-1-yl)phenol enhanced luminol-H2O2 system. The optimized sensor was used to determine the residues of 8 benzimidazoles in mutton and beef. Result showed that the sensor achieved ultrahigh sensitivity (limits of detection of 1.5-21 pg/mL), rapid assay process (18 min) and satisfactory recovery (65.8%-91.2%). Furthermore, this sensor could be reused for 4 times. Therefore, this sensor could be used as a rapid, simple, sensitive and durable tool for screening the residual benzimidazoles in meat.

Abstract
Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) are a member of carbon nanostructures family which have received increasing attention for their photoluminescence (PL), physical and chemical stability and low toxicity. The classical semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) are semiconductor particles that are able to emit fluorescence by excitation. The CQDs is mainly referred to photoluminescent carbon nanoparticles less than 10 nm, with surface modification or functionalization. Contrary to other carbon nanostructures, CQDs can be synthesized and functionalized fast and easily. The fluorescence origin of the CQDs is a controversial issue which depends on carbon source, experimental conditions, and functional groups. However, PL emissions originated from conjugated π-domains and surface defects have been proposed for the PL emission mechanisms of the CQDs. These nanostructures have been used as nontoxic alternatives to the classical heavy metals containing semiconductor QDs in some applications such as in-vivo and in-vitro bio-imaging, drug delivery, photosensors, chemiluminescence (CL), and etc. This paper will introduce CQDs, their structure, and PL characteristics. Recent advances of the application of CQDs in biotechnology, sensors, and CL is comprehensively discussed.

Abstract
In the present work, a selective and sensitive method for detecting TNP using manganese doped carbon quantum dots (Mn-CDs) was developed. The Mn-CDs were prepared via a simple hydrothermal method using 1-(2-pyridinylazo)-2-naohthalenol naohthalenol (PAN) and MnCl2 as precursors. The as-prepared Mn-CDs have UV emission with high quantum yield (83.2%). Because of the strong characteristic absorption of TNP at 356 nm, which has good spectral overlap with the emission peak of Mn-CDs, the fluorescence intensity of Mn-CDs at 360 nm is linearly quenched in the presence of TNP in the concentration range of 0.1-200 μM. The developing assay based on an inner filter effect (IFE) mechanism for detecting TNP is selective, convenient, and shows that the as-prepared Mn-CDs have application prospects for simple and specific analytical chemistry.

Abstract
Quantitative analysis of antibiotics is very important because these drugs are widely used to prevent or treat various diseases. Cefixime (CEF, a semi-synthetic antibiotic and the third generation of cephalosporin) is a bactericidal medicine that prevents formation of cell walls in bacteria as well as their growth and proliferation. It, thus, causes the death of bacteria. Antibiotics such as CEF are generally determined by chromatography and spectroscopy techniques. Electrochemical sensors are one of the fast, convenient and low-cost tools for measuring this type of compounds. In this research, an electrochemical sensor was constructed by modifying a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with expanded graphene oxide and gold nanowires, and then its surface was electropolymerized with a molecular imprinted polymeric layer of polyaniline. The morphological characterization of the obtained film was carried out by scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM). The proposed sensor was analytically characterized on the purpose of comparing it to other modified GCEs. The sensor could work linearly for the concentration range of 20.0-950.0 nM and with a limit of detection of 7.1 nM. It was successfully applied to determine CEF traces in biological samples (i.e. serum and urine) with excellent recovery percentages.

Abstract
The chemical contaminants in food and the environment are quite harmful to food safety and human health. Rapid, accurate, and cheap detection can effectively control the potential risks derived from these chemical contaminants. Among all detection methods, the immunoassay based on the specific interaction of antibody-analyte is one of the most widely used techniques in the field. However, biological antibodies employed in the immunoassay usually cannot tolerate extreme conditions, resulting in an unstable state in both physical and chemical profiles. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are a class of polymers with specific molecular recognition abilities, which are highly robust, showing excellent operational stability under a wide variety of conditions. Recently, MIPs have been used in biomimetic immunoassays for chemical contaminants as an antibody substitute in food and the environment. Here, we reviewed these applications of MIPs incorporated in different analytical platforms, such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, fluorescent immunoassay, chemiluminescent immunoassay, electrochemical immunoassay, microfluidic paper-based immunoassay, and homogeneous immunoassay, and discussed current challenges and future trends in the use of MIPs in biomimetic immunoassays.

Abstract
Carbon dots are an emerging class of carbon-based nanostructures produced by low-cost raw materials which exhibit a widely-tunable photoluminescence and a high quantum yield. The potential of these nanomaterials as a substitute of semiconductor quantum dots in optoelectronics and biomedicine is very high, however they need a customized chemistry to be integrated in host-guest systems or functionalized in core-shell structures. This review is focused on recent advances of the sol-gel chemistry applied to the C-dots technology. The surface modification, the fine tailoring of the chemical composition and the embedding into a complex nanostructured material are the main targets of combining sol-gel processing with C-dots chemistry. In addition, the synergistic effect of the sol-gel precursor combined with the C-dots contribute to modify the intrinsic chemo-physical properties of the dots, empowering the emission efficiency or enabling the tuning of the photoluminescence over a wide range of the visible spectrum.
