Abstract
All over the world, technology is becoming more and more prevalent in agriculture. Different types of instruments are already being used in this sector. For the time being, every farmer is trying to produce more crops on a piece of land. Eventually, soil loses its nutrients; however, to grow more crops, farmers use more fertilizers without knowing the proper conditions of the soil in real time. To overcome this issue, many scientists have recently focused on developing electrochemical sensors to detect macronutrients, i.e., nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), in soil or water rapidly. In this review, we focus mainly on the recent developments in electrochemical sensors used for the detection of nutrients (NPK) in different types of samples. As it is outlined, the use of smart and portable electrochemical sensors can be helpful for the reduction of excess fertilizer and can play a vital role in maintaining suitable conditions in soils and water. We are optimistic that this review can guide researchers in the development of a portable and suitable NPK detection system for soil nutrients.

Abstract
Nitrate is a water-soluble toxic pollutant that needs to be excluded from the environment. For this purpose, several electrochemical studies have been conducted but most of them focused on the nitrate reduction reaction (NRR) in alkaline and acidic media while insignificant research is available in neutral media with Pt electrode. In this work, we explored the effect of three coinage metals (Cu, Ag, and Au) on Pt electrode for the electrochemical reduction of nitrate in neutral solution. Among the three electrodes, Pt-Cu exhibited the best catalytic activity toward NRR, whereas Pt-Au electrode did not show any reactivity. An activity order of Pt-Cu > Pt-Ag > Pt-Au was observed pertaining to NRR. The Pt-Ag electrode produces nitrite ions by reducing nitrate ions ([Formula: see text]. Meanwhile, at Pt-Cu electrode, nitrate reduction yields ammonia via both direct ([Formula: see text] and indirect ([Formula: see text] reaction pathways depending on the potential. The cathodic transfer coefficients were estimated to be ca. 0.40 and ca. 0.52, while the standard rate constants for nitrate reduction were calculated as ca. 2.544 × 10-2 cm.s-1 and ca. 1.453 × 10-2 cm.s-1 for Pt-Cu and Pt-Ag electrodes, respectively. Importantly, Pt-Cu and Pt-Ag electrodes execute NRR in the neutral medium between their respective Hydrogen-Evolution Reaction (HER) and Open-Circuit Potential (OCP), implying that on these electrodes, HER and NRR do not compete and the latter is a corrosion-free process.

Abstract
Nitrite is a ubiquitous pollutant in modern society. Developing new strategies for its determination is very important, and electroanalytical methods present outstanding performance on this task. However, the use of bare electrodes is not recommended because of their predisposition to poisoning and passivation. We herein report a procedure to overcome these limitations on carbon fiber microelectrodes through pulsed amperometry. A three-pulse amperometry approach was used to reduce the current decay from 47% (after 20 min under constant potential) to virtually 0%. Repeatability and reproducibility were found to have an RSD lower than 0.5% and 7%, respectively. Tap water and synthetic inorganic saliva samples were fortified with nitrite, and the results obtained with the proposed sensor were in good agreement with the amount added.

Abstract
Significant agricultural and industrial activities necessitate the regular monitoring of nitrate (NO3-) ions levels in feed and groundwater. The current comparative study discloses an innovative user-friendly electrochemical approach for the determination of NO3- over polyaniline (PAni)-based modified electrodes. The electrochemical sensors concocted with PAni, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNT), and gum arabic (GA). The unique electrode material GA@PAni-CNT was synthesized by facile one-pot catalytic polymerization of aniline (Ani) with FeCl3/H2O2 in the presence of CNT and GA as integral components. As revealed by cyclic voltammetry (CV), the anchoring/retention of NO3- followed by reduction is proposed to occur when a GA@PAni-CNT electrode is immersed in phosphate buffer electrolyte containing NO3- that eventually results in a significantly higher redox activity of the GA@PAni-CNT electrode upon potential scan. The mechanism of NO3- anchoring may be associated with the non-redox transition of leucomeraldine salt (LS) into emeraldine salt (ES) and the generation of nitrite (NO2-) ions. As a result, the oxidation current produced by CV for redox transition of ES ↔ pernigraniline (PN) was ~9 times of that obtained with GA@PAni-CNT electrode and phosphate buffer electrolyte, thus achieving indirect NO3- voltammetric determination of the GA@PAni-CNT electrode. The prepared GA@PAni-CNT electrode displayed a higher charge transfer ability as compared to that of PAni-CNT and PAni electrodes. The optimum square wave voltammetric (SWV) response resulted in two linear concentration ranges of 1-10 (R2 = 0.9995) and 15-50 µM (R2 = 0.9988) with a detection limit of 0.42 µM, which is significantly lower. The GA@PAni-CNT electrode demonstrated the best detection, sensitivity, and performance among the investigated electrodes for indirect voltammetric determination of NO3- that portrayed the possibility of utilizing GA-stabilized PAni and CNT nanocomposite materials in additional electrochemical sensing applications.

Abstract
Drinking water containing nitrate ions at a higher concentration level of more than 10 mg/L, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), poses a considerable peril to humans. This danger lies in its reduction of nitrite ions. These ions cause methemoglobinemia during the oxidation of hemoglobin into methemoglobin. Many protocols can be applied to the remediation of nitrate ions from hydra solutions such as Zn metal and amino sulfonic acid. Furthermore, the electrochemical process is a potent protocol that is useful for this purpose. Designing varying parameters, such as the type of cathodic electrode (Sn, Al, Fe, Cu), the type of electrolyte, and its concentration, temperature, pH, and current density, can give the best conditions to eliminate the nitrate as a pollutant. Moreover, the use of accessible, functional, and inexpensive adsorbents such as granular ferric hydroxide, modified zeolite, rice chaff, chitosan, perlite, red mud, and activated carbon are considered a possible approach for nitrate removal. Additionally, biological denitrification is considered one of the most promising methodologies attributable to its outstanding performance. Among these powerful methods and materials exist zero-valent iron (ZVI), which is used effectively in the deletion process of nitrate ions. Non-precious synthesis pathways are utilized to reduce the Fe2+ or Fe3+ ions by borohydride to obtain ZVI. The structural and morphological characteristics of ZVI are elucidated using UV–Vis spectroscopy, zeta potential, XRD, FE-SEM, and TEM. The adsorptive properties are estimated through batch experiments, which are achieved to control the feasibility of ZVI as an adsorbent under the effects of Fe0 dose, concentration of NO3− ions, and pH. The obtained literature findings recommend that ZVI is an appropriate applicant adsorbent for the remediation of nitrate ions.

Abstract
Accurate calculation of absorption spectra of aqueous NO2- requires rigorously sampling the quantum potential energy surfaces for microsolvation of NO2- with at least five explicit water molecules and embedding the resulting clusters in a continuum solvent accounting for the statistical weighted contributions of individual isomers. This method, which we address as ASCEC + PCM, introduces several desired features when compared against MD simulations derived QM/MM spectra: comparatively fewer explicit solvent molecules to be treated with expensive QM methods, the identification of equilibrium structures in the quantum PES to be used in further vibrational spectroscopy, and the unequivocal identification of cluster orbitals undergoing electronic transitions and charge transfer that originate the spectral bands.

Abstract
Electrochemical sensors play a significant role in detecting chemical ions, molecules, and pathogens in water and other applications. These sensors are sensitive, portable, fast, inexpensive, and suitable for online and in-situ measurements compared to other methods. They can provide the detection for any compound that can undergo certain transformations within a potential window. It enables applications in multiple ion detection, mainly since these sensors are primarily non-specific. In this paper, we provide a survey of electrochemical sensors for the detection of water contaminants, i.e., pesticides, nitrate, nitrite, phosphorus, water hardeners, disinfectant, and other emergent contaminants (phenol, estrogen, gallic acid etc.). We focus on the influence of surface modification of the working electrodes by carbon nanomaterials, metallic nanostructures, imprinted polymers and evaluate the corresponding sensing performance. Especially for pesticides, which are challenging and need special care, we highlight biosensors, such as enzymatic sensors, immunobiosensor, aptasensors, and biomimetic sensors. We discuss the sensors' overall performance, especially concerning real-sample performance and the capability for actual field application.

Abstract
To simultaneously remove carbon and nitrogen from refractory organic wastewater, this study couples the denitrifying biocathode and MnOx/Ti anode to oxidize refractory organic pollutants in the anode chamber and remove NO3--N in the cathode chamber (denitrifying biocathode-electrocatalytic reactor, DBECR). After inoculation, DBECR started up at 1.3 and 1.5 V with NO3--N reduction peak appearing on the cyclic voltammetry curve and increased NO3--N removal by approximately 90 %. Compared to the electrocatalytic reactor without inoculation (ECR), NO3--N removal of DBECR significantly increased from 0.09 to 0.45 kg NO3--N/m3 NCC/d (NCC: net cathodic compartment). NO3--N removal correlated well with charges/current flowing through the circuit of DBECR, further validating the presence of electrotrophic denitrifiers. Moreover, coupling of denitrifying biocathode significantly enhanced methylene blue (MB) removal in the anode chamber (0.18 ± 0.002 and 2.92 ± 0.02 g COD/m2/d for ECR and DBECR, respectively). This was because the growth of eletrotrophic denitrifiers increased the cathodic potential and thus the potential of MnOx/Ti anode. The higher potential of MnOx/Ti anode promoted the generation of hydroxyl radicals and consequently promoted MB removal. This study demonstrated that DBECR not only realized nitrogen removal in the cathode chamber, but also enhanced refractory organic carbon degradation in the anode chamber.

Baruah U, Manna U. The synthesis of a chemically reactive and polymeric luminescent gel. Chem Sci 2020; 12:2097-2107. [PMID: 34163973 PMCID: PMC8179304 DOI: 10.1039/d0sc05166g] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2020] [Accepted: 11/29/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
In the past, chemically reactive polymeric interfaces have been considered to be of potential interest for developing functional materials for a wide range of practical applications. Furthermore, the rational incorporation of luminescence properties into such chemically reactive interfaces could provide a basis for extending the horizon of their prospective utility. In this report, a simple catalyst-free chemical approach is introduced to develop a chemically reactive and optically active polymeric gel. Branched-polyethyleneimine (BPEI)-derived, inherently luminescent carbon dots (BPEI-CDs) were covalently crosslinked with pentaacrylate (5Acl) through a 1,4-conjugate addition reaction under ambient conditions. The synthesized polymeric gel was milky white under visible light; however, it displayed fluorescence under UV light. Additionally, the residual acrylate groups in the synthesized fluorescent gel allowed its chemical functionality to be tailored through facile, robust 1,4-conjugate addition reactions with primary-amine-containing small molecules under ambient conditions. The chemical reactivity of the luminescent gel was further employed for a proof-of-concept demonstration of portable and parallel 'ON'/'OFF' toxic chemical sensing (namely, the sensing of nitrite ions as a model analyte). First, the chemically reactive luminescent gel derived from BPEI-CDs was covalently post-modified with aniline for the selective synthesis of a diazo compound in the presence of nitrite ions. During this process, the color of the gel under visible light changed from white to yellow and, thus, the colorimetric mode of the sensor was turned 'ON'. In parallel, the luminescence of the gel under UV light was quenched, which was denoted as the 'OFF' mode of the sensor. This parallel and unambiguous 'ON'/'OFF' sensing of a toxic chemical (nitrite ions, with a detection limit of 3 μM) was also achieved even in presence of other relevant interfering ions and at concentrations well below the permissible limit (65 μM) set by the World Health Organization (WHO). Furthermore, this chemically reactive luminescent gel could be of potential interest in a wide range of basic and applied contexts.

Abstract
Nitrate is one of the most common contaminants in food and the environment and mainly arises from intense human activities. Electrochemical sensors have been considered as one of the most promising analytical tools for the rapid detection of nitrate in food and environmental matrices due to their quick response, high sensitivity, ease of operation and miniaturisation, and low sample and power consumption. In this review, we summarise advances in sensors for electrochemical analysis of nitrate over the past decade. We also discuss the application of electrochemical sensing systems for the determination of nitrate in the matrices of fresh water, seawater, food, soil and particulate matter.

Abstract
A liquid-crystal (LC)-based sensor for detecting nitrite in aqueous solutions was developed using a diazotization reaction as the sensing mechanism. First, tetradecyl 4-aminobenzoate (14CBA) was synthesized and doped into a nematic LC, i.e., 4-cyano-4'-pentylbiphenyl (5CB). When the LC mixture was cast on a glass substrate and then immersed into an aqueous solution without nitrite, the orientation of LC was planar and the LC image was bright. In the presence of nitrite, it reacted with alkylanilines to give corresponding diazonium ions with a positive charge, which aligned at the LC/aqueous interface to cause homeotropic orientation of LC. As a result, a bright-to-dark transition of the LC image was observed. The limit of detection (LOD) of this system for nitrite is 25 μM with high selectivity. In addition, this system can work in environmental water samples such as tap water and pond water. Finally, we demonstrated that the optical signals of LC can be measured and recorded using a built-in digital camera of a smartphone, suggesting the portability of this system for on-site applications.

Abstract
Nitrite is a naturally occurring species present in various food samples and also present in our bodies as a product of nitric oxide (NO) oxidation. Considering the ubiquity of nitrite, its determination is of great importance in both biological and food samples. Herein, a very facile indirect method of nitrite determination in meat samples via selective reduction to nitric oxide (NO) is presented. The resulting gaseous product is quantified via portable and cost-effective electrochemical sensors. Both a novel laboratory prepared Pt-Nafion based NO sensor and a commercially available amperometric NO sensor are compared. Excellent correlations between the nitrite amount found in tested samples using both of the electrochemical sensors and a reference chemiluminescence method are demonstrated (r = 0.997 and r = 0.999 for Pt-Nafion based and commercially available NO-B4 electrochemical sensors, respectively, n = 12). Moreover, the slope of the linear regression curves are very close to unity for the comparison of the three systems tested. The amperometric sensors compared within this work exhibit good precision and accuracy and are shown to be an attractive alternative to the costly chemiluminescence detection method for accurately determining nitrite levels in food samples.

Abstract
In this work, we proposed a new method based on carbon dots (named m-CDs) for selective and efficient detection of nitrite (NO2-), which was based on the interaction between the amine group of m-CDs and NO2- via a diazo reaction that produced diazonium salts and induced the fluorescence quenching of m-CDs. The concentration of NO2- shows a good linear relationship with a quenched fluorescence intensity from 0.063 to 2.0 μM ( R2 = 0.996) with a detection limit of 0.018 μM. In addition, a ratiometric fluorescence probe ( m-CDs@[Ru(bpy)3]2+) was constructed via electrostatic interaction by introducing Ru(bpy)3Cl2·6H2O as an internal reference fluorescent reagent. Interestingly, a transition of the fluorescent color of the ratiometric probe from cyan to red could be visually observed upon increasing the concentration of NO2-. Based on these findings, a ratiometric fluorescent-based portable agarose hydrogel test kit was fabricated and applied for on-spot assessment of NO2- content within 10 min. As far as we know, this is the first ratiometric fluorescent sensor for visual detection of NO2-. It has broad application prospects in environmental monitoring and food safety assessment.

Abstract
For the first time, a novel analytical method based on a paper based enzymatic biosensor assisted by digital image processing and first-order multivariate calibration has been reported for rapid determination of nitrate in food samples. The platform of the biosensor includes a piece of Whatman filter paper impregnated with Griess reagent (3-nitroaniline, 1-naphthylamine and hydrochloric acid) and nitrate reductase. After dropping a distinct volume of nitrate solution onto the biosensor surface, nitrate reductase selectively reduces nitrate to nitrite and then the Griess reagent selectively reacts with nitrite to produce a red colored azo dye. Therefore, the color intensity of the produced azo dye is correlated with nitrate concentration. After image capture, the images were processed and digitized in the MATLAB environment by the use of an image processing toolbox and the vectors produced by the digital image processing step were used as inputs of the first-order multivariate calibration algorithms. Several multivariate calibration algorithms and pre-processing techniques have been used to build multivariate calibration models for verifying which technique offers the best predictions towards nitrate concentrations in synthetic samples and the best algorithm has been chosen for nitrate determination in potato, onion, carrot, cabbage and lettuce samples as real cases.

Abstract
Herein, we report a novel, disposable electrochemical sensor for the detection of nitrite ions in food samples based on the sonochemical synthesized orthorhombic CaFe2O4 (CFO) clusters modified screen printed electrode. As synthesized CFO clusters were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transformer infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and amperometry (i-t). Under optimal condition, the CFO modified electrode displayed a rapid current response to nitrite, a linear response range from 0.016 to 1921 µM associated with a low detection limit 6.6 nM. The suggested sensor also showed the excellent sensitivity of 3.712 μA μM-1 cm-2. Furthermore, a good reproducibility, long-term stability and excellent selectivity were also attained on the proposed sensor. In addition, the practical applicability of the sensor was investigated via meat samples, tap water and drinking water, and showed desirable recovery rate, representing its possibilities for practical application.

Abstract
In the present research, we aimed to fabricate a novel electrochemical sensor based on Cu metal nanoparticles on the multiwall carbon nanotubes-reduced graphene oxide nanosheets (Cu/MWCNT/RGO) for individual and simultaneous determination of nitrite and nitrate ions. The morphology of the prepared nanocomposite on the surface of glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was characterized using various methods including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Under optimal experimental conditions, the modified GCE showed excellent catalytic activity toward the electro-reduction of nitrite and nitrate ions (pH=3.0) with a significant increase in cathodic peak currents in comparison with the unmodified GCE. By square wave voltammetry (SWV) the fabricated sensor demonstrated wide dynamic concentration ranges from 0.1 to 75μM with detection limits (3Sb/m) of 30nM and 20nM method for nitrite and nitrate ions, respectively. Furthermore, the applicability of the proposed modified electrode was demonstrated by measuring the concentration of nitrite and nitrate ions in the tap and mineral waters, sausages, salami, and cheese samples.

Simultaneous Voltammetric/Amperometric Determination of Sulfide and Nitrite in Water at BDD Electrode. SENSORS 2015; 15:14526-38.

Abstract
This work reported new voltammetric/amperometric-based protocols using a commercial boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode for simple and fast simultaneous detection of sulfide and nitrite from water. Square-wave voltammetry operated under the optimized working conditions of 0.01 V step potential, 0.5 V modulation amplitude and 10 Hz frequency allowed achieving the best electroanalytical parameters for the simultaneous detection of nitrite and sulfide. For practical in-field detection applications, the multiple-pulsed amperometry technique was operated under optimized conditions, i.e., −0.5 V/SCE for a duration of 0.3 s as conditioning step, +0.85 V/SCE for a duration of 3 s that assure the sulfide oxidation and +1.25 V/SCE for a duration of 0.3 s, where the nitrite oxidation occurred, which allowed the simultaneously detection of sulfide and nitrite without interference between them. Good accuracy was found for this protocol in comparison with standardized methods for each anion. Also, no interference effect was found for the cation and anion species, which are common in the water matrix.

Abstract
Electrochemical treatment of nitrate (NO3(-)), nitrite (NO2(-)) and mixtures of nitrate and nitrite was evaluated with microbial catalysts on a cathode in three different bioelectrochemical denitrification systems (BEDS). The removal rates and removal percentage of nitrogen (N) compounds varied during biotic and abiotic operations. The biotic cathode using NO3(-)-N as an electron acceptor showed enhanced removal percentages (88%) compared to the operation with NO2(-)-N (85%). The simultaneous reduction of NO3(-)-N and NO2(-)-N occurred in the operation with a mixture of N compounds. The bacterial diversity from the initial inoculum (return sludge) changed at the end of bioelectrochemical denitrification operation after 55 days. The microbial community composition was different depending on the type of electron acceptor. BEDS operation with NO3(-)-N and NO2(-)-N was enriched with Proteobacteria and Firmicutes respectively. BEDS with a mixture of N electron acceptors showed enrichment with Proteobacteria. There was no clear, distinct microbial community between the cathode biofilm and suspended biomass.

Abstract
This work presents a novel bienzymatic biosensor for the simultaneous determination of nitrite (NO2(-)) and nitrate (NO3(-)) ions using copper, zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1) and nitrate reductase (NaR) coimmobilized on carbon nanotubes (CNT)-polypyrrole (PPy) nanocomposite modified platinum electrode. Morphological changes of the PPy and CNT modified electrodes were investigated using scanning electron microscopy. The electrochemical behavior of the bienzymatic electrode (NaR-SOD1-CNT-PPy-Pt) was characterized by cyclic voltammetry exhibiting quasi-reversible redox peak at +0.06 V and reversible redox peaks at -0.76 and -0.62V vs. Ag/AgCl, for the immobilized SOD1 and NaR respectively. The electrocatalytic activity of SOD1 towards NO2(-) oxidation observed at +0.8 V was linear from 100 nM to 1mM with a detection limit of 50 nM and sensitivity of 98.5 ± 1.7 nA µM(-1)cm(-2). Similarly, the coimmobilized NaR showed its electrocatalytic activity towards NO3(-) reduction at -0.76 V exhibiting linear response from 500 nM to 10mM NO3(-) with a detection limit of 200 nM and sensitivity of 84.5 ± 1.56 nA µM(-1)cm(-2). Further, the present bienzymatic biosensor coated with cellulose acetate membrane for the removal of non-specific proteins was used for the sensitive and selective determinations of NO2(-) and NO3(-) present in human plasma, whole blood and saliva samples.

Abstract
This work describes the electrochemical behaviour of ibuprofen on two types of multi-walled carbon nanotubes based composite electrodes, i.e., multi-walled carbon nanotubes-epoxy (MWCNT) and silver-modified zeolite-multi-walled carbon nanotubes-epoxy (AgZMWCNT) composites electrodes. The composite electrodes were obtained using two-roll mill procedure. SEM images of surfaces of the composites revealed a homogeneous distribution of the composite components within the epoxy matrix. AgZMWCNT composite electrode exhibited the better electrical conductivity and larger electroactive surface area. The electrochemical determination of ibuprofen (IBP) was achieved using AgZMWCNT by cyclic voltammetry, differential-pulsed voltammetry, square-wave voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The IBP degradation occurred on both composite electrodes under controlled electrolysis at 1.2 and 1.75 V vs. Ag/AgCl, and IBP concentration was determined comparatively by differential-pulsed voltammetry, under optimized conditions using AgZMWCNT electrode and UV-Vis spectrophotometry methods to determine the IBP degradation performance for each electrode. AgZMWCNT electrode exhibited a dual character allowing a double application in IBP degradation process and its control.
