Abstract
Electrochemical sensing (ES) is crucial for improving data acquisition in wastewater treatment, but obtaining the signal for a low electroactive analyte is challenging. Here, we propose an electrochemical acid-base transport limitation (eABTL) principle for inertness-based sensing, offering a new insight into generating ES signals from an interfacial transport process rather than electron transfer. This principle enables potential ES application for various weak acids and bases (WABs) without reactions themselves. We established an eABTLP method for detecting orthophosphate in solutions as a proof of concept, demonstrating commendable accuracy and precision, and a wide detection range from 10 μM to over 300 mM. Endogenous interferences were identified using 23 weak acids, indicating no significant endogenous interfering factors in typical wastewaters. Of them, volatile fatty acids are the main interference, but their effect can be eliminated by adjusting pH above 6.0. Exogenous factors like anions, cations, ion strength, temperature, organic load, and dissolved oxygen were examined, and most of their effects can be ignored by maintaining consistent analytical procedures between calibration curve and sample. Furthermore, measurement of wastewater samples confirmed the applicability toward domestic wastewater and demonstrated its wide applicability when combined with digestion pretreatment. Given the merits of inertness-based sensing, the eABTL-based methods have the potential to be a crucial part of ES techniques for environmental and industrial monitoring.

Abstract
Glycerol is an important biological molecule, but no facile and on-site fluorescence sensor for detecting glycerol has been reported up to now. In this work, the organic fluorescent sensor for glycerol was prepared based on hydrazine-bridged bis-tetraphenylimidazole (HBT), which exhibited an excellent "turn-on" blue fluorescence response in detecting glycerol for the first time. The good sensing selectivity for glycerol among all kinds of organic molecules and ions was confirmed with the low detection limitation (LOD=0.48 μM). The sensing mechanism was proposed as that the photo-induced electron transfer process between the lone pair electrons of the Schiff group and the tetraphenylimidazole moiety was interrupted by the multiple hydrogen-bond action between glycerol and HBT. The sensing ability of HBT for glycerol was successfully used for the detection of glycerol in test paper and real samples (glycerine enema and aloe vera gel), demonstrating the good potential for simple, rapid and in-situ detection of glycerol in daily life.

Abstract
Oxycodone, often used as an analgesic, is a potent opioid. While its effectiveness has been proven in the control of moderate to acute pain, excessive use of oxycodone imposes heart failure, heart palpitations, reduction of red blood cells, bone pain, and even death. Therefore, monitoring the oxycodone concentration in blood is vital for emergency care. For this purpose, a novel electrochemical sensor was designed based on a glassy carbon electrode modified with mesoporous g-C3N4 (M-C3N4), carbon nano-onions doped with nitrogen (N-CNO), and gold nanoparticles. At first, the SEM and XRD techniques were employed to characterize prepared M-C3N4 and N-CNO samples. The electro-oxidation behavior of the oxycodone was evaluated by cyclic and differential pulse voltammetric methods. Based on the influence of the potential scanning rate and solution pH on the voltammetric response of oxycodone oxidation, a redox mechanism was proposed. A 16 nM detection limit was acquired for the oxycodone analysis with a linear response in the 0.05-150 µM range. This sensor showed a remarkable ability for oxycodone detection in plasma samples. The long-term stability, superior selectivity, and reproducibility of this sensor prove its ability to measure oxycodone accurately and precisely in authentic spices.

Abstract
Heavy-metal ions (HMIs) as a pollutant, if not properly processed, used, and disposed of, will not only have an influence on the ecological environment but also pose significant health hazards to humans, making them a primary factor that endangers human health and harms the environment. Heavy metals come from a variety of sources, the most common of which are agriculture, industry, and sewerage. As a result, there is an urgent demand for portable, low-cost, and effective analytical tools. Bionanosensors have been rapidly developed in recent years due to their advantages of speed, mobility, and high sensitivity. To accomplish effective HMI pollution control, it is important not only to precisely pinpoint the source and content of pollution but also to perform real-time and speedy in situ detection of its composition. This study summarizes heavy-metal-ion (HMI) sensing research advances over the last five years (2019-2023), describing and analyzing major examples of electrochemical and optical bionanosensors for Hg2+, Cu2+, Pb2+, Cd2+, Cr6+, and Zn2+.

Abstract
The electropolymerized molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) have enabled the utilization of various functional monomers with superior selective recognition of the target analyte template. Methyldopa is an attractive synthetic dopamine analogue which has phenolic, carboxylic, and aminic functional groups. In this research, methyldopa was exploited to fabricate selective MIPs, for the detection of sofosbuvir (SFB), by a simple electropolymerization step onto a disposable pencil graphite electrode (PGE) substrate. The interaction between methyldopa, as a functional monomer, and a template has been investigated experimentally by UV spectroscopy. A polymethyldopa (PMD) polymer was electrografted onto PGE in the presence of SFB as a template. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (ESI), and cyclic voltammetry (CV) were used for the characterization of the fabricated sensor. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) of a ferrocyanide/ferricyanide redox probe was employed to indirectly detect the SFB binding to the MIP cavities. The sensor shows a reproducible and linear response over a dynamic linear range from 1.0 × 10-11 M to 1.0 × 10-13 M of SFB with a limit of detection of 3.1 × 10-14 M. The sensor showed high selectivity for the target drug over structurally similar and co-administered interfering drugs, and this enabled its application to detect SFB in its pharmaceutical dosage form and in spiked human plasma samples.

Abstract
The present work demonstrated the fabrication and the electrochemical characterization of novel printed electrochemical sensors integrated with an innovative nanosensing platform based on the synergic electrocatalytic effect of iron oxide nanoparticles (FeONPs) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) for precise voltammetric determination of the antipsychotic drug lurasidone hydrochloride (LUH). The features of the electrode surface fabricated using the ordinary inkjet printer were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Among different ink formulations, integration of the printing ink with the ratio 15 mg FeONPs and 20 mg rGO was found to be the most appropriate for sensitive quantification of LUH in biological fluids and pharmaceutical formulations in the presence of LUH degradation products. Under the optimized experimental and electroanalytical parameters, the recorded square-wave voltammograms were correlated to LUH within the linear concentration ranging from 50 to 2150 ng mL-1 with detection limit and limit of quantification values of 15.64 and 47.39 ng mL-1, respectively. Based on the cyclic voltammograms recorded for LUH at different scan rates, the electrode reaction was assumed to be a diffusion reaction mechanism accompanied by the transfer of two electrons/protons through the oxidation of the five-membered ring nitrogen atom as assumed by the molecular orbital calculations carried out on the LUH molecule. The C max of LUH and the efficiency of the fabricated sensors enabled their clinical application for monitoring LUH in human biological fluids and pharmaceutical formulations in the presence of degradants for diverse quality control applications and green chemistry analysis.

Abstract
Driven by the customers' growing awareness of environmental issues, the production of topical formulations based on sustainable ingredients is receiving widespread attention from researchers and the industry. Although numerous sustainable ingredients (natural, organic, or green chemistry-derived compounds) have been investigated, there is a lack of comparative studies between conventional ingredients and sustainable alternatives. In this study, olive oil (30 wt.%) and α-tocopherol (2.5 wt.%) containing oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions stabilized with the bacterial fucose-rich polysaccharide FucoPol were formulated envisaging their validation as cosmetic creams. After formula composition design by Response Surface Methodology (RSM), the optimized FucoPol-based emulsion was prepared with 1.5 wt.% FucoPol, 1.5 wt.% cetyl alcohol, and 3.0 wt.% glycerin. The resulting emulsions had an apparent viscosity of 8.72 Pa.s (measured at a shear rate 2.3 s-1) and droplet size and zeta potential values of 6.12 µm and -97.9 mV, respectively, which are within the values reported for cosmetic emulsified formulations. The optimized formulation displayed the desired criterium of a thin emulsion system, possessing the physicochemical properties and the stability comparable to those of commercially available products used in cosmeceutical applications.

Abstract
This study proposes a chemical sensing approach for the selective detection of tropane alkaloid drugs based on an extended-gate-type organic field-effect transistor (OFET) functionalized with a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP). From the viewpoint of pharmaceutical chemistry, the development of versatile chemical sensors to determine the enantiomeric purity of over-the-counter (OTC) tropane drugs is important because of their side effects and different pharmacological activities depending on their chirality. To this end, we newly designed an OFET sensor with an MIP (MIP-OFET) as the recognition element for tropane drugs based on a high complementarity among a template (i.e., (S)-hyoscyamine) and functional monomers such as N-isopropylacrylamide and 2,2-dimethyl-4-pentenoic acid. Indeed, the MIP optimized by density functional theory (DFT) has succeeded in the sensitive and selective detection of (S)-hyoscyamine (as low as 1 μM) by the combination of the OFET with highly selective recognition sites in the MIP. The MIP-OFET was further applied to determine the enantiomeric excess (ee) of commercially available (S)-hyoscyamine, and the linearity changes in the threshold voltages of the OFET corresponded to the % ee values of (S)-hyoscyamine. Overall, the validation with tropane alkaloids revealed the potential of the MIP combined with OFET as a chemical sensor chip for OTC drugs in real-world scenarios.

Abstract
An electrochemical biosensor based on chitosan- and thioctic-acid-modified nanoporous gold (NPG) co-immobilization glycerol kinase (GK) and glycerol-3-phosphate oxidase (GPO) was constructed for glycerol determination in wine. The NPG, with the properties of porous microstructure, large specific surface area, and high conductivity, was beneficial for protecting the enzyme from inactivation and denaturation and enhancing electron transfer in the modified electrode. The co-immobilization of the enzyme by chitosan-embedding and thioctic-acid-modified NPG covalent bonding was beneficial for improving the catalytic performance and stability of the enzyme-modified electrode. Ferrocene methanol (Fm) was used as a redox mediator to accelerate the electron transfer rate of the enzyme-modified electrode. The fabricated biosensor exhibited a wide determination range of 0.1–5 mM, low determination limit of 77.08 μM, and high sensitivity of 9.17 μA mM−1. Furthermore, it possessed good selectivity, repeatability, and stability, and could be used for the determination of glycerol in real wine samples. This work provides a simple and novel method for the construction of biosensors, which may be helpful to the application of enzymatic biosensors in different determination scenarios.

Abstract
The benefits of molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) technology in creating artificial receptors to replace natural counterparts have piqued the interest of numerous researchers in recent years. We propose a biomimetic enrofloxacin-MIP for enrofloxacin (ENRO) antigen detection using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and MIP methodologies in this study. A self-assembled monomer layer of aminothiophenol was used to immobilize a pre-formed complex of the anti-enrofloxacin monoclonal antibody and enrofloxacin antigen onto the surface of an AuNP coated screen-printed carbon ink electrode (SPCE). The poly-(aminothiophenol) layer thickness was adjusted to entrap and restrict enrofloxacin antigens near the surface. The imprinting and removal of the enrofloxacin antigen in the MIP film were strongly validated by the Raman spectra. The final mAb-MIP sensor had better sensitivity (302 Ω mL ng-1) and a better detection limit (0.05 ng mL-1) than self-assembled monolayer (SAM)-based immunosensors, which had 102 Ω mL ng-1 and 0.1 ng mL-1, respectively.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) is illustrated as an analogue of a natural biological antibody-antigen system. MIP is an appropriate substrate for electrochemical sensors owing to its binding sites, which match the functional groups and spatial structure of the target analytes. However, the irregular shapes and slow electron transfer rate of MIP limit the sensitivity and conductivity of electrochemical sensors. Nanomaterials, famous for their prominent electron transfer capacity and specific surface area, are increasingly employed in modifications of MIP sensors. Staying ahead of traditional electrochemical sensors, nanomaterials-based MIP sensors represent excellent sensing and recognition capability. This review intends to illustrate their advances over the past five years. Current limitations and development prospects are also discussed.

Abstract
Due to their advantages of good flexibility, low cost, simple operations, and small equipment size, electrochemical sensors have been commonly employed in food safety. However, when they are applied to detect various food or drug samples, their stability and specificity can be greatly influenced by the complex matrix. By combining electrochemical sensors with molecular imprinting techniques (MIT), they will be endowed with new functions of specific recognition and separation, which make them powerful tools in analytical fields. MIT-based electrochemical sensors (MIECs) require preparing or modifying molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) on the electrode surface. In this review, we explored different MIECs regarding the design, working principle and functions. Additionally, the applications of MIECs in food and drug safety were discussed, as well as the challenges and prospects for developing new electrochemical methods. The strengths and weaknesses of MIECs including low stability and electrode fouling are discussed to indicate the research direction for future electrochemical sensors.

Abstract
Surfactant stabilized Gold (Au) nanomaterials (NMs) have been documented extensively in recent years for numerous sensing applications in the academic literature. Despite the crucial role these surfactants play in the sensing applications, the comprehensive reviews that highlights the fundamentals associated with these assemblies and impact of these surfactants on the properties and sensing mechanisms are still quite scare. This review is an attempt in organizing the vast literature associated with this domain by providing critical insights into the fundamentals, preparation methodologies and sensing mechanisms of these surfactant stabilized Au NMs. For the simplification, the surfactants are divided into the typical and advanced surfactants and the Au NMs are classified into Au nanoparticles (NPs) and Au nanoclusters (NCs) depending upon the complexity in structure and size of the NMs respectively. The preparative methodologies are also elaborated for enhancing the understanding of the readers regarding such assemblies. The case studies regarding surfactant stabilized Au NMs were further divided into colorimetric sensors, surface plasmonic resonance (SPR) based sensors, luminescence-based sensors, and electrochemical/electrical sensors depending upon the property utilized by the sensor for the sensing of an analyte. Future perspectives are also discussed in detail for the researchers looking for further progress in that particular research domain.

Abstract
Rapid, simple, sensitive and specific approaches for mercury(ii) (Hg2+) detection are essential for toxicology assessment, environmental protection, food analysis and human health. In this study, a ratiometric hairpin DNA probe based electrochemical biosensor, which relies on hairpin DNA probes conjugated with water-soluble and carboxyl functionalized quaternary Zn–Ag–In–S quantum dot (QD) on screen-printed gold electrodes (SPGE), referred to as the HP-QDs-SPGE electrochemical biosensor in this study, was developed for Hg2+ detection. Based on the “turn-off” reaction of a hairpin DNA probe binding with a mismatched target and Hg2+ through the formation of T–Hg2+–T coordination, the HP-QDs-SPGE electrochemical biosensor can rapidly quantify trace Hg2+ with high ultrasensitivity, specificity, repeatability and reproducibility. The conformational change of the hairpin DNA probe caused a significant decrease in electrochemical intensity, which could be used for the quantification of Hg2+. The linear dynamic range and high sensitivity of the HP-QDs-SPGE electrochemical biosensor for the detection of Hg2+ was studied in vitro, with a broad linear dynamic range of 10 pM to 1 μM and detection limits of 0.11 pM. In particular, this HP-QDs-SPGE electrochemical biosensor showed excellent selectivity toward Hg2+ ions in the presence of other metal ions. More importantly, this biosensor has been successfully used to detect Hg2+ in deionized water, tap water, groundwater and urine samples with good recovery rate and small relative standard deviations. In summary, the developed HP-QDs-SPGE electrochemical biosensor exhibited promising potential for further applications in on-site analysis. A ratiometric hairpin DNA probe based electrochemical biosensor, which relies on hairpin DNA probes conjugated with water-soluble and carboxyl functionalized quantum dot on screen-printed gold electrodes, was developed for Hg2+ detection.![]()

Abstract
Facile detection of β-lactoglobulin is extraordinarily important for the management of the allergenic safety of cow's milk and its dairy products. A sensitive electrochemical sensor based on a molecularly imprinted polymer-modified carbon electrode for the detection of β-lactoglobulin was successfully synthesized. This molecularly imprinted polymer was prepared using a hydrothermal method with choline chloride as a functional monomer, β-lactoglobulin as template molecule and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as crosslinking agent. Then, the molecularly imprinted polymer was immobilized on polyethyleneimine (PEI)-reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-gold nanoclusters (Au-NCs) to improve the sensor's selectivity for β-lactoglobulin. Under optimal experimental conditions, the designed sensor showed a good response to β-lactoglobulin, with a linear detection range between 10-9 and 10-4 mg/mL, and a detection limit of 10-9 mg/mL (S/N = 3). The developed electrochemical sensor showed a high correlation in the detection of β-lactoglobulin in four different milk samples from the market, indicating that the sensor can be used with actual sample.

Abstract
Growing concerns about the possible toxicity of silver to aquatic organisms, bacteria, and humans have led to newly issued regulations by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding the use of silver. However, the increase in bacterial resistance to antibiotics has led to a resurgence in the use of silver as a biocidal agent in applications ranging from washing machine additives to the drinking water treatment system on the International Space Station (ISS). For Ag+ ion detection, a highly sensitive and reversible optical sensor has been established. The optode relies on a novel Schiff base, namely 2-[(benzo[d]thiazol-2-ylimino)methyl]phenol (BTMP) immobilized within PVC film and also incorporated with tris(2-ethylhexyl)phosphate (TEHP) and Aliquat 336 as an ion carrier. Under optimum conditions (i.e. pH 8.5), the proposed sensor displayed a linear response to Ag+ over 4.8 × 10-9 to 1.0 × 10-5 M (0.8494-1698.7 μg L-1) with limits of detection and quantification of 1.5 × 10-9 and 4.8 × 10-9 M (0.2548 and 0.8494 μg L-1), respectively. The sensor's response time was found to be 8.0 min. The sensor was applied successfully to determine Ag+ ion in some real samples, including food, biological, water, and environmental samples.

Abstract
The urge to meet the ever-growing needs of sensing technology has spurred research to look for new alternatives to traditional analytical methods. In this scenario, the glucometer is the flagship of commercial electrochemical sensing platforms, combining selectivity, reliability and portability. However, other types of enzyme-based biosensors seldom achieve the market, in spite of the large and increasing number of publications. The reasons behind their commercial limitations concern enzyme denaturation, and the high costs associated with procedures for their extraction and purification. In this sense, biomimetic materials that seek to imitate the desired properties of natural enzymes and biological systems have come out as an appealing path for robust and sensitive electrochemical biosensors. We herein portray the historical background of these biomimicking materials, covering from their beginnings until the most impactful applications in the field of electrochemical sensing platforms. Throughout the discussion, we present and critically appraise the major benefits and the most significant drawbacks offered by the bioinspired systems categorized as Nanozymes, Synzymes, Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIPs), Nanochannels, and Metal Complexes. Innovative strategies of fabrication and challenging applications are further reviewed and evaluated. In the end, we ponder over the prospects of this emerging field, assessing the most critical issues that shall be faced in the coming decade.

Abstract
Nanotechnology and molecular imprinting both are omnipresent in the modern scientific world. Molecular recognition in the biological systems was mimicked to an extreme extent with its difficulties through molecular imprinting. Solving the problems related to this mimicking was the goal of science and technology. Some challenges like difficulties with the imprinting of protein, poor compatibility with aqueous environments, template leakage, and heterogeneous populations of binding sites in the polymers that contribute to a high level of nonspecific binding sites were addressed with recent advancement in the modern era. These issues were solved later with nano level instrumentations and inventions. Different types of nanomaterials were employed for this research on molecular recognition through MIPs to enhance selectivity, sensitivity and stability to specific systems such as sensors. This review paper attempts to give all the recent advances in molecular imprinting and the potential of nanomaterials in electrochemical sensors.

Abstract
In this study, a novel, fast, selective, and sensitive molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-based electrochemical sensor was developed to determine axitinib (AXI) at low concentrations in pharmaceutical dosage forms and human serum. The newly developed MIP-based sensor (MIP@o-PD/GCE) was designed through electropolymerization of functional monomer o-phenylenediamine (o-PD) in the presence of a template molecule AXI, on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) using cyclic voltammetry. Differential pulse voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques were employed for removal and rebinding processes, optimization of conditions, as well as for performance evaluation of MIP@o-PD/GCE using [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- as the redox probe. Under the optimum experimental conditions, MIP@o-PD/GCE shows a linear response toward AXI in a range of 1 × 10-13 M - 1 × 10-12 M. The limit of the detection value of MIP@o-PD/GCE was found as 0.027 pM while the limit of the quantification was obtained as 0.089 pM, respectively. To demonstrate the applicability and validity of the developed sensor, it was successfully applied to tablet dosage form and human serum sample. The selectivity of the sensor was qualified by comparing the binding of AXI, erlotinib, dasatinib, nilotinib, and imatinib, which are similarly structured and in the same group of anticancer drugs. MIP@o-PD/GCE sensor showed a significant selectivity toward AXI. The non-imprinted polymer (NIP) based GCE was prepared and used to control the analytical performance of the MIP-based electrochemical sensor.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are a fascinating technology for the sensitive and selective detection of target molecules. However, in most situations, the need for complicated and expensive analytical devices for reading the responses of MIPs greatly limits their applications. For exploring low-cost and easy-to-use applications of MIPs, herein we have developed a MIP-modified extended-gate type organic field-effect transistor (MIP-OFET). Taurine was selected as a demonstrative analyte due to its biological roles and utility as a nutrient. We explored the rational design of the novel MIP with the aid of density functional theory and wave function calculations and characterized the electrochemically synthesized MIP using differential pulse voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The mechanism of taurine detection by the MIP-OFET can be explained by the changes in the surface potential of the MIP-functionalized extended-gate electrode accompanied with the capture of taurine. The detection limit of taurine in complete aqueous media was estimated to be 0.33 μM, which was lower or comparable to those calculated by high-performance liquid chromatography. Furthermore, taurine in a commercial drink without any extraction was also successfully detected using the fabricated MIP-OFET. This study would broaden the scope of the applications of MIP-OFETS as chemical sensors for on-site detection of various daily nutrients.

Cyclodextrins as a Key Piece in Nanostructured Materials: Quantitation and Remediation of Pollutants. NANOMATERIALS 2020; 11:nano11010007. [PMID: 33374502 PMCID: PMC7822197 DOI: 10.3390/nano11010007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2020] [Revised: 12/17/2020] [Accepted: 12/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Separation and pre-concentration of trace pollutants from their matrix by reversible formation of inclusion complexes has turned into a widely studied field, especially for the benefits provided to different areas. Cyclodextrins are non-toxic oligosaccharides that are well known for their host–guest chemistry, low prices, and negligible environmental impact. Therefore, they have been widely used as chiral selectors and delivery systems in the pharmaceutical and food industry over time. However, their use for extraction purposes is hampered by their high solubility in water. This difficulty is being overcome with a variety of investigations in materials science. The setting-up of novel solid sorbents with improved properties thanks to the presence of cyclodextrins at their structure is still an open research area. Some properties they can offer, such as an increased selectivity or a good distribution along the surface of a solid support, which provides better accessibility for guest molecules, are characteristics of great interest. This systematic review reports the most significant uses of cyclodextrins for the adsorption of pollutants in different-origin samples based on the works reported in the literature in the last years. The study has been carried out indistinctly for quantitation and remediation purposes.

Tramadol sensing in non-invasive biological fluids using a voltammetric electronic tongue and an electrochemical sensor based on biomimetic recognition. Int J Pharm 2020; 593:120114. [PMID: 33253800 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2020.120114] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2020] [Revised: 11/18/2020] [Accepted: 11/20/2020] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
Tramadol (TRA) is a weak opioid analgesic, prescribed to relieve mild to moderately severe pain. However, side effects of TRA overdoses, including vomiting, depression, tachycardia, convulsions, morbidity and mortality are often reported. In this study, an electrochemical sensor based on molecularly imprinted conductive polymer was firstly developed for the quantitative and non-invasive detection of TRA. Secondly, a voltammetric electronic tongue (VE-Tongue) combined with chemometric methods was used for the qualitative analysis. The MIP sensor was constructed by self-assembling a poly-aniline layer coated with silver nanoparticles (PANI-AgNPs) on a screen-printed gold electrode (Au-SPE). Then, 2-amino-thiophenol was polymerised in the presence of TRA. The electronic device exhibits, under optimal conditions, responses proportional to TRA concentrations (0.01-100 µg/mL) with detection and quantification limits of 9.42 µg/mL and 28.55 µg/mL, respectively. Moreover, its selectivity was proven by insignificant interferences of substances (paracetamol and citric acid). Spiked saliva and urine samples were used for the sensor practical application with a significant recovery above 90% and standard deviations below 4.5%. Besides, urine samples' analyses using VE-Tongue and pattern recognition methods show good discrimination, classification, and prediction results with scores above 95%. Correspondingly, both electro-analytical devices could be viable for monitoring drugs in biological matrices.

Abstract
The development of nanoparticle research has grown considerably in recent years. One of the reasons for the considerable current interest in nanoparticles is because such materials frequently display unusual physical (structural, electronic, magnetic, and optical) and chemical (catalytic) properties. The development of nanomaterials is of interest to the scientific community and industrial companies. Different methods (physical, chemical, and biological) allow their manufacture. In particular, a major effort has been devoted to the development and improvement of synthesis methods in order to obtain nano-objects of controlled size and shape, a necessary pre-requisite to their organization, and to the study of their intrinsic and collective properties. Reviews play an important role in keeping interested parties up to date on the current state of the research in any academic field. This review aims to focus on the development of nanoparticles and stabilization with adsorbed/covalently attached ligands in solution phase since these factors are deeply related to the origins of the particles' stability, the media to which they are exposed, and the involved applications. This study also examines the factors that influence the synthesis of nanoparticles. It aims to provide an overview of existing electrochemical sensors, particularly those that operate with nanomaterial-based electrode modifications for p-nitroaniline (PNA) determination and to propose guidelines for related research and development activities. Emphasis was placed on the procedure for the analysis of PNA in water samples using nanosilver-based electrodes.

Abstract
Self-supported Fe3N-Co2N nanoarray with high electric conductivity and large surface area was prepared for growth of MIPs and further constructing a sensitive and stable electrochemical sensor. For the evaluation of its performance, Fe3N-Co2N is used as sensing electrode material, and AMP is used as template molecule to construct the MIP electrochemical sensor. Under the optimized conditions, the developed MIPs electrochemical sensor detects AMP with a low detection limit of 3.65 × 10-10 mol L-1 and shows outstanding reproducibility and stability. When the MIPs electrochemical sensor was applied to detect AMP in milk samples via standard addition method, the recovery within 97.06-102.43% with RSD of 1.05-2.11% was obtained. The fabrication of MIPs electrochemical sensor is highly promising for sensitive and selective electrochemical measurement and food safety testing. This work can provide theoretical guidance for truly challenging problems. Graphical abstract Principle diagram of MIP-EC sensor for detecting AMP Molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) are widely performed for construction of electrochemical (EC) sensors especially for detecting small molecules in complex environment. However, the large-scale and robust preparation of MIPs in situ on sensor platform limits their practical applications. We fabricated a MIPs EC sensor based on Fe3N-Co2N in situ grown on carbon cloth (CC) as the substrate platform (Fe3N-Co2N/CC) combining with MIPs as the target recognition element for the label-free detection of AMP. Under the optimal conditions, the developed MIPs EC sensor can detect AMP with a low detection limit of 3.65 × 10-10 mol L-1. When the AMP in milk is detected by the proposed EC sensor, it shows ideal results. Therefore, the use of self-supported Fe3N-Co2N nanoarray as the platform for the fabrication of MIPs EC sensors is highly promising for sensitive and selective EC measurement and point-of-care testing.
