Abstract
Mercury, a widespread highly toxic environmental pollutant, poses significant risks to both human health and ecosystems. It commonly infiltrates the food chain, particularly through fish, and water resources via multiple pathways, leading to adverse impacts on human health and the environment. To monitor and keep track of mercury ion levels various methods traditionally have been employed. However, conventional detection techniques are often hindered by limitations. In response to challenges, nano-sensors, capitalizing on the distinctive properties of nanomaterials, emerge as a promising solution. This comprehensive review provides insight into the extensive spectrum of nano-sensor development for mercury detection. It encompasses various types of nanomaterials such as silver, gold, silica, magnetic, quantum dot, carbon dot, and electrochemical variants, elucidating their sensing mechanisms and fabrication. The aim of this review is to offer an in-depth exploration to researchers, technologists, and the scientific community, and understanding of the evolving landscape in nano-sensor development for mercury sensing. Ultimately, this review aims to encourage innovation in the pursuit of efficient and reliable solutions for mercury detection, thereby contributing to advancements in environmental protection and public health.

Chakraborty A, Rajana VK, Saritha C, Srivastava A, Mandal D, Das N. A new Eosin Y-based 'turnon' fluorescent sensor for ratiometric sensing of toxic mercury ion (Hg 2+) offering unaided eye detection and its antibacterial activity. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 470:134207. [PMID: 38593667 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134207] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2023] [Revised: 04/01/2024] [Accepted: 04/02/2024] [Indexed: 04/11/2024]
Abstract
A unique fluorescent molecule (ND-S) was obtained from Eosin Y in two simple yet high yielding steps (1). ND-S has special metal ion sensing ability, such that it can selectively detect toxic Hg2+ present in very low concentration in aqueous solutions in the presence of other competing metal ions. The host-guest complexation is ratiometric and is associated with significant increase in fluorescence during the process. Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) experiments provided thermodynamic parameters related to interaction between ND-S and Hg2+. Using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), the Hg2+(aq) removal efficiency of ND-S was estimated to be 99.88%. Appreciable limit of detection (LOD = 7.4 nM) was observed. Other competing ions did not interfere with the sensing of Hg2+ by ND-S. The effects of external stimuli (temperature and pH) were studied. Besides, the complex (ND-M), formed by 1:1 coordination of ND-S and Hg2+ was found to be effective against the survival of Gram-positive bacteria (S. aureus and B. subtilis) with a high selectivity index. Moreover, bacterial cell death mechanism was studied systematically. Overall, we have shown the transformation of a toxic species (Hg2+), extracted from polluted water by a biocompatible sensor (ND-S), into an effective and potent antibacterial agent (ND-M).

Abstract
Mercury is a highly hazardous element due to its profound toxicity and wide abundance in the environment. Despite the availability of various fluorimetric detection tools for Hg2+, including organic fluorophores and aptasensors, they often suffer from shortcomings like the utilization of expensive chemicals and toxic organic solvents, multi-step synthesis, sometimes with poor selectivity and low sensitivity. Whereas, biomass-derived fluorophores, such as carbon dots (CDs), present themselves as cost-effective and environmentally benign alternatives that exhibit comparable efficacy. Herein, we report a reaction-driven sensing assembly based on CDs, MnO2 nanosheets, and hydroquinone monothiocarbonate (HQTC) for the detection of Hg2+ ions, which relies on the formation of a CDs-MnO2 FRET-conjugate, resulting in the quenching of the intrinsic fluorescence of CDs. In a pseudochemodosimetric approach, the thiophilic nature of mercury was utilized for in-situ generation of the reducing species, hydroquinone from HQTC, resulting in the reduction of MnO2 nanosheets, the release of fluorescent CDs back to the solution. The low limit of detection (LOD) was achieved as 2 ppb (0.01 μM). The probe worked efficiently in real water samples like sea, river with good recovery of spiked Hg2+ and in some Indian ayurvedic medicines as well. Furthermore, solid-phase detection with sodium alginate beads demonstrated the ability of this cost-effective sensing assembly for onsite detection of Hg2+ ions.

Abstract
Mercury is a toxic environmental contaminant that can cause serious health problems. This work describes a new type of eco-friendly three-electrode plastic sensor chip for the determination of trace Hg(II) by means of anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV). The sensor chip is entirely fabricated by injection moulding, which is a sustainable manufacturing method, and consists of three conductive carbon-based electrodes embedded in a plastic holder while the reference electrode is coated with Ag using e-beam evaporation. The sample is spiked with Au(III) which deposits on the working electrode in the form of gold nanoparicles during the analysis; the target Hg(II) co-deposits on the gold nanoparticles forming a Au(Hg) amalgam in situ. The accumulated Hg is stripped off the electrode and quantified by an anodic square wave potential scan. The relevant conditions and the potential interferences are investigated. The limit of detection for Hg(II) is 0.4 μg L-1 and the repeatability at the 20 μg L-1 Hg(III) level (n = 10) is 5.3%. The sensor is applied to water, honey, fish oil and mussel samples with recoveries between 98 and 107%.

Abstract
Aggravated by human and industrial activities, heavy metal pollution has become a severe problem, causing widespread concern in society, and cannot be ignored. Herein, a graphene/gold nanoparticle-hybrid (AuNPs/ERGO) was proposed and synthesized by electrochemical methods. Based on the AuNPs/ERGO hybrid, a novel electrochemical sensing platform was established and successfully applied for the selective, quantitative detection of Hg2+, taking advantage of the well-established anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV). This hybrid material not only increases the surface area and charge transfer rate but also provides more active sites for Hg deposition due to the formation of homogeneous, high density and monodispersed AuNPs on the ERGO film. The prepared AuNPs/ERGO hybrid was modified on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) to detect Hg2+ with a linear range from 0.5 to 20 μg L-1 and a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.06 μg L-1. The selectivity and stability of the as-prepared electrode were investigated and showed promising results. In addition, a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) was also employed to verify the practical application ability of our assay with an excellent performance, which presents a bright application prospect for in situ Hg2+ detection.

Abstract
A novel Au nanoparticle (AuNP)-biopolymer coated carbon screen-printed electrode (SPE) sensor was developed through the co-electrodeposition of Au and chitosan for mercury (Hg) ion detection. This new sensor showed successful Hg2+ detection in landfill leachate using square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV) with an optimized condition: a deposition potential of -0.6 V, deposition time of 200 s, amplitude of 25 mV, frequency of 60 Hz, and square wave step voltage of 4 mV. A noticeable peak was observed at +0.58 V associated with the stripping current of the Hg ion. The sensor exhibited a good sensitivity of ~0.09 μA/μg (~0.02 μA/nM) and a linear response over the concentration range of 10 to 100 ppb (50-500 nM). The limit of detection (LOD) was 1.69 ppb, which is significantly lower than the safety limit defined by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). The sensor had an excellent selective response to Hg2+ in landfill leachate against other interfering cations (e.g., Zn2+, Pb2+, Cd2+, and Cu2+). Fifteen successive measurements with a stable peak current and a lower relative standard deviation (RSD = 5.1%) were recorded continuously using the AuNP-biopolymer-coated carbon SPE sensor, which showed excellent stability, sensitivity and reproducibility and consistent performance in detecting the Hg2+ ion. It also exhibited a good reliability and performance in measuring heavy metals in landfill leachate.

Abstract
A new thiosemicarbazone ligand was immobilized through a Cu(I)-catalyzed click reaction on the surface of glassy carbon (GC) and electrochemically reduced graphene oxide (GC-ERGO) electrodes grafted with phenylethynyl groups. Using the accumulation at open circuit followed by anodic stripping voltammetry, the modified electrodes showed a significant selectivity and sensibility for Hg(II) ions. A detection limit of 7 nM was achieved with the GC modified electrodes. Remarkably, GC-ERGO modified electrodes showed a significantly improved detection limit (0.8 nM), sensitivity, and linear range, which we attribute to an increased number of surface binding sites and better electron transfer properties. Both GC and GC-ERGO modified electrodes proved their applicability for the analysis of real water samples.

Abstract
The rise of emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) as well as the increase in spread of existing infections is threatening global economies and human lives, with several countries still fighting repeated onslaught of a few of these epidemics. The catastrophic impact a pandemic has on humans and economy should serve as a reminder to be better prepared to the advent of known and unknown pathogens in the future. The goal of having a set of initiatives and procedures to tackle them is the need of the hour. Rapid detection and point-of-care (POC) analysis of pathogens causing these diseases is not only a problem entailing the scientific community but also raises challenges in tailoring appropriate treatment strategies to the healthcare sector. Among the various methods used to detect pathogens, Electrochemical Biosensor Technology is at the forefront in the development of POC devices. Electrochemical Biosensors stand in good stead due to their rapid response, high sensitivity and selectivity and ease of miniaturization to name a few advantages. This review explores the innovations in electrochemical biosensing based on the various electroanalytical techniques including voltammetry, impedance, amperometry and potentiometry and discusses their potential in diagnosis of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases (Re-EIDs), which are potential pandemic threats. This review offers a detailed description of the latest developments in electrochemical biosensors for emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases. Advantages and limitations of various types of electrochemical biosensor techniques are demonstrated. Discusses the latest electrochemical biosensors for COVID-19. Challenges and future prospects of electrochemical biosensors have been discussed in this review.

Abstract
A cyclometalated ruthenium complex [Ru(pthb)(bpy)2]+ (1, bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, Hpthb = 3,3-dimethyl-2-(5-pyridylthiophen-2-yl)vinyl-benzo[e]indolium-1-propylsulfonate) could be converted from a C-coordinated structure to non-metallated species with N,S-bonded Hpthb upon treatment with mercury(ii) ions in water. Strikingly, the switch in the coordination mode resulted in a great absorption change along with a change in the solution color of 1 from dark red to light yellow. Therefore, 1 can be used as a colorimetric probe to detect mercury(ii) ions by the naked eye. Although the emission was not observed for 1 in water, it still demonstrated an appreciably low detection limit of 21 nM by using UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, which was comparable with those of some probes determined by ratiometric fluorescence spectroscopy.

Abstract
In this manuscript, we discuss relevant socioeconomic factors for developing and implementing sensor analytic point solutions (SNAPS) as point-of-care tools to serve impoverished communities. The distinct economic, environmental, cultural, and ethical paradigms that affect economically disadvantaged users add complexity to the process of technology development and deployment beyond the science and engineering issues. We begin by contextualizing the environmental burden of disease in select low-income regions around the world, including environmental hazards at work, home, and the broader community environment, where SNAPS may be helpful in the prevention and mitigation of human exposure to harmful biological vectors and chemical agents. We offer examples of SNAPS designed for economically disadvantaged users, specifically for supporting decision-making in cases of tuberculosis (TB) infection and mercury exposure. We follow-up by discussing the economic challenges that are involved in the phased implementation of diagnostic tools in low-income markets and describe a micropayment-based systems-as-a-service approach (pay-a-penny-per-use-PAPPU), which may be catalytic for the adoption of low-end, low-margin, low-research, and the development SNAPS. Finally, we provide some insights into the social and ethical considerations for the assimilation of SNAPS to improve health outcomes in marginalized communities.

Abstract
Inorganic mercury (Hg2+) pollution of water reserves, especially drinking water, is an important issue in the environmental and public health field. Mercury is reported to be one of the most dangerous elements in nature since its accumulation and ingestion can lead to a series of permanent human diseases, affecting the kidneys and central nervous system. All the conventional approaches for assaying Hg2+ have some limitations in terms of bulky instruments and the cost and time required for the analysis. Here, we describe a miniaturizable and high-throughput bioluminescence sensor for Hg2+ detection in water, which combines the specificity of a living bacterial Hg2+ reporter cell, used as sensing element, with the performance of a silicon photomultiplier, used as optical detector. The proposed system paves the basis for portable analysis and low reactants consumption. The aim of the work is to propose a sensing strategy for total inorganic mercury evaluation in water. The proposed system can lay the basis for further studies and validations in order to develop rapid and portable technology that can be used in situ providing remote monitoring.

Abstract
A nanocomposite based on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was synthesized by the microwave-assisted hydrothermal method and applied in the determination of sulfamethazine (SMZ) in swine effluent using a glassy carbon (GC) electrode. The rGO-AuNPs nanocomposite was characterized morphologically, electrochemically and spectrochemically, showing that rGO was modified with the AuNPs. The GC/rGO-AuNPs electrode was optimized for the determination of SMZ, achieving detection limits of 0.1 μmol L−1. The proposed sensor was successfully applied to the determination of SMZ in synthetic swine effluent samples.

Abstract
Almond shell-based charcoal was prepared by carbonizing almond shells in a nitrogen atmosphere. Nanoporous carbon (NPC) was formed via activating the obtained charcoal using potassium hydroxide as an activating agent, followed by the synthesis of nitrogen-doped nanoporous carbon (N-NPC) via a hydrothermal reaction using urea as the nitrogen source. The obtained N-NPC possessed a large surface area (1075 m2 g−1), narrow pore-size distribution (1–2 nm) and nitrogen content reaching 2.23 wt%. Using N-NPC with Nafion to modify a glassy carbon electrode, a highly sensitive electrochemical sensor was fabricated for the determination of Pb(ii) in aqueous solutions with differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV). The peak current of Pb(ii) showed linearity over concentrations from 2.0 to 120 μg L−1 and the detection limit (S/N = 3) was estimated to be 0.7 μg L−1 for Pb(ii), which was 15-fold lower than the guideline value of drinking water given by the World Health Organization (WHO). The experimental data indicated that this easy and low-cost method is an accurate and fast method for the detection of trace Pb(ii). Almond shell-based charcoal was prepared by carbonizing almond shells in a nitrogen atmosphere.![]()

Abstract
A reagentless and single-step electrochemical aptasensor with separation-free fashion and rapid response is developed for the Hg2+ assay in dairy products. Herein, the sensing strategy is established on Hg2+-induced structural transition of the methylene-blue-tagged single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) from a flexible manner to rigid hairpin-shaped double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), generating an improved peak current for the Hg2+ assay with a detection limit of 0.62 fM. Importantly, the best signal-to-noise ratio value can be obtained by exploiting Au flowers as sensing material and the optimal ssDNA concentration. The proposed sensor also exhibits high selectivity as a result of the specific thymine-Hg2+-thymine (T-Hg2+-T) coordination chemistry and can be applied to detect Hg2+ in dairy products. With the use of the electric "signal-on" switch, the electrochemical aptasensor has the advantages of simplicity, ease of operation, and high sensitivity and specificity, offering a promising method to assess the safety of dairy products polluted with Hg2+.

Abstract
To meet the severe water pollution status, multi-target biosensor becomes one of research focus. We herein report a novel duplex functional fluorescent biosensor for the label-free and separate detection of Pb2+ and Hg2+ with high sensitivity and selectivity. A K+-induced fluorescent G-quadruplex probe was assembled by a guanine-rich sequence (AGRO100) and N-methyl mesoporphyrin IX(NMM). It changed into a more stably non-fluorescent G-quadruplex structure and a hairpin-like structure upon binding Pb2+ and Hg2+ ions, respectively. As a result, the fluorescence decreased with relation to the addition of targets, allowing the separate detection of Pb2+ and Hg2+ ions at concentrations as low as 5 nM and 18.6 nM. The linear correlation existed between the fluorescence intensity and the concentration of Pb2+ and Hg2+ over the range of 10-200 nM (R2 = 0.98) and 20-1000 nM (R2 = 0.99), respectively. All real lake samples, even containing Pb2+ or Hg2+ at 50 nM, could be determined by the duplex functional fluorescent probe with recovery rates 96% and 104%, respectively. Considering that this sensor is label-free, simple, time-saving, cost-effective and easy-to-handle, it is possible to pave its way for Pb2+ and Hg2+ detection in various application fields.

Abstract
The sensitive detection of trace levels of heavy metal ions such as Pb2+ is of significant importance due to the health hazard they pose. In this paper, we present a polypyrrole (PPy)/multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-modified Au microelectrode. The PPy/MWCNT composite film was electrochemically deposited on the microelectrode by cyclic voltammetry (CV). The composite film was investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM), CV, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and the results show that this film presents a uniformly distributed and web-like entangled structure and good conductivity. Differential pulse stripping voltammetry (DPSV) was applied to determine trace levels of Pb2+. Experimental conditions including accumulation time and deposition potential were optimized. In optimal conditions, the PPy/MWCNT-modified microelectrode performed sensitive detection of Pb2+ within a concentration range from 1 to 100 μg·L−1, and the limit of detection was 0.65 μg·L−1 at the signal-to-noise ratio of three.
