Abstract
Nanotechnology is vital to many current industries, including electronics, energy, textiles, agriculture, and theranostics. Understanding the chemical mechanisms of nanomaterial synthesis has contributed to the tunability of their unique properties, although studies frequently overlook the potential impact of impurities. Impurities can show adverse effects, clouding the interpretation of results or limiting the practical utility of the nanomaterial. On the other hand, as successful doping has demonstrated, the intentional introduction of impurities can be a powerful tool for enhancing the properties of a nanomaterial. This Review examines the complex role of impurities, unintentionally or intentionally added, during nanoscale synthesis and their effects on the performance and usefulness of the most common classes of nanomaterials: nanocarbons, noble metal and metal oxide nanoparticles, semiconductor quantum dots, thermoelectrics, and perovskites.

Recent advances in sensing toxic nerve agents through DMMP model simulant using diverse nanomaterials-based chemical sensors. Talanta 2024; 272:125785.

Abstract
Recent terrorist assaults have demonstrated the need for the exploration and design of sustainable and stable chemical sensors with quick reaction times combined with great sensitivity. Among several classes of chemical warfare agents, nerve agents have been proven to be the most hazardous. Even short-term exposure to them can result in severe toxic effects. Human beings inadvertently face the after-effects of these chemicals even several years after these chemicals were used. Due to the extreme toxicity and difficulty in handling, dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP), a simulant of nerve agents with much lesser toxicity, is frequently used in laboratories as a substitute. Having a chemical structure almost identical to those of nerve agents, DMMP can mimic the properties of nerve agents. Through this paper, authors have attempted to introduce the evolution of several chemical sensors used to detect DMMP in recent years, including field-effect transistors, chemicapacitors, chemiresistors, and mass-sensitive sensors. A detailed discussion of the role of nanomaterials as chemical sensors in the detection of DMMP has been the main focus of the work through a comprehensive overview of the research on gas sensors that have been reported making use of the properties of a wide range of nanomaterials.

Abstract
The amalgamation of nanostructures with modern electrochemical and optical techniques gave rise to interesting devices, so-called biosensors. A biosensor is an analytical tool that incorporates various biomolecules with an appropriate physicochemical transducer. Over the past few years, metal oxide nanomaterials (MONMs) have significantly stimulated biosensing research due to their desired functionalities, versatile chemical stability, and low cost along with their unique optical, catalytic, electrical, and adsorption properties that provide an attractive platform for linking the biomolecules, for example, antibodies, nucleic acids, enzymes, and receptor proteins as sensing elements with the transducer for the detection of signals or signal amplifications. The signals to be measured are in direct proportionate to the concentration of the bioanalyte. Because of their simplicity, cost-effectiveness, portability, quick analysis, higher sensitivity, and selectivity against a broad range of biosamples, MONMs-based electrochemical and optical biosensing platforms are exhaustively explored as powerful early-diagnosis tools for point of care applications. Herein, we made a bibliometric analysis of past twenty years (2004-2023) on the application of MONMs as electrochemical and optical biosensing units using Web of Science database and the results of which clearly reveal the increasing number of publications since 2004. Geographical area distribution analysis of these publications shows that China tops the list followed by the United States of America and India. In this review, we first describe the electrochemical and optical properties of MONMs that are crucial for the creation of extremely stable, specific, and sensitive sensors with desirable characteristics. Then, the biomedical applications of MONMs-based bare and hybrid electrochemical and optical biosensing frameworks are highlighted in the light of recent literature. Finally, current limitations and future challenges in the field of biosensing technology are addressed.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, molecular self-assembly has witnessed tremendous progress in a variety of biosensing and biomedical applications. In particular, self-assembled nanostructures of small organic molecules and peptides with intriguing characteristics (e.g., structure tailoring, facile processability, and excellent biocompatibility) have shown outstanding potential in the development of various biosensors. In this review, we introduced the unique properties of self-assembled nanostructures with small organic molecules and peptides for biosensing applications. We first discussed the applications of such nanostructures in electrochemical biosensors as electrode supports for enzymes and cells and as signal labels with a large number of electroactive units for signal amplification. Secondly, the utilization of fluorescent nanomaterials by self-assembled dyes or peptides was introduced. Thereinto, typical examples based on target-responsive aggregation-induced emission and decomposition-induced fluorescent enhancement were discussed. Finally, the applications of self-assembled nanomaterials in the colorimetric assays were summarized. We also briefly addressed the challenges and future prospects of biosensors based on self-assembled nanostructures.

Abstract
DNA has excellent molecular recognition properties. At the same time, DNA has a programmable structure, high stability, and can be easily modified, making DNA attractive for biosensor design. To convert DNA hybridization or aptamer binding events to physically detectable signals, various nanomaterials have been extensively exploited to take advantage of their optical and surface properties. A popular sensing scheme is through the adsorption of a fluorescently-labeled DNA probe, where detection is achieved by target-induced probe desorption and fluorescence recovery. Another method is to use DNA to protect the colloidal stability of nanomaterials, where subsequent target binding can decrease the protection ability and induce aggregation; this method has mainly been used for gold nanoparticles. This Perspective summarizes some of our work in examining the sensing mechanisms, and we articulate the importance of the understanding of DNA/surface and target/surface interactions for the development of practical DNA-based biosensors.

Abstract
The size-dependent phase stability of γ-Al2O3 was studied by large-scale molecular dynamics simulations over a wide temperature range from 300 to 900 K. For the γ-Al2O3 crystal, a bulk transformation to α-Al2O3 by an FCC-to-HCP transition of the O sublattice is still kinetically hindered at 900 K. However, local distortions of the FCC O-sublattice by the formation of quasi-octahedral Al local coordination spheres become thermally activated, as driven by the partial covalency of the Al-O bond. On the contrary, spherical γ-Al2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) (with sizes of 6 and 10 nm) undergo a crystalline-to-amorphous transformation at 900 K, which starts at the reconstructed surface and propagates into the core through collective displacements of anions and cations, resulting in the formation of 7- and 8-fold local coordination spheres of Al. In parallel, the reconstructed Al-enriched surface is separated from the stoichiometric core by a diffuse Al-depleted transition region. This compositional heterogeneity creates an imbalance of charges inside the NP, which induces a net attractive Coulombic force that is strong enough to reverse the initial stress state in the NP core from compressive to tensile. These findings disclose the delicate interplay between lattice distortions, stresses, and space-charge regions in oxide nanosystems. A fundamental explanation for the reported expansion of metal-oxide NPs with decreasing size is provided, which has significant implications for, e.g., heterogeneous catalysis, NP sintering, and additive manufacturing of NP-reinforced metal matrix composites.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The surface coating of iron oxide magnetic nanoparticle (MNPs) drives their intracellular trafficking and degradation in endolysosomes, as well as dictating other cellular outcomes. As such, we assessed whether MNP coatings might influence their biodistribution, their accumulation in certain organs and their turnover therein, processes that must be understood in vivo to optimize the design of nanoformulations for specific therapeutic/diagnostic needs. RESULTS In this study, three different MNP coatings were analyzed, each conferring the identical 12 nm iron oxide cores with different physicochemical characteristics: 3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane (APS), dextran (DEX), and dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA). When the biodistribution of these MNPs was analyzed in C57BL/6 mice, they all mainly accumulated in the spleen and liver one week after administration. The coating influenced the proportion of the MNPs in each organ, with more APS-MNPs accumulating in the spleen and more DMSA-MNPs accumulating in the liver, remaining there until they were fully degraded. The changes in the physicochemical properties of the MNPs (core size and magnetic properties) was also assessed during their intracellular degradation when internalized by two murine macrophage cell lines. The decrease in the size of the MNPs iron core was influenced by their coating and the organ in which they accumulated. Finally, MNP degradation was analyzed in the liver and spleen of C57BL/6 mice from 7 days to 15 months after the last intravenous MNP administration. CONCLUSIONS The MNPs degraded at different rates depending on the organ and their coating, the former representing the feature that was fundamental in determining the time they persisted. In the liver, the rate of degradation was similar for all three coatings, and it was faster than in the spleen. This information regarding the influence of coatings on the in vivo degradation of MNPs will help to choose the best coating for each biomedical application depending on the specific clinical requirements.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) play a crucial role in organic transformation and are becoming increasingly attractive in the field of catalysis as they show good catalytic activity in organic as well as aqueous media. Numerous NPs have been utilized for several organic transformations in aqueous media, which have led to dedicated efforts for the complete coverage of the application of metal, metal oxide, bimetallic and supported NPs in water-mediated organic transformations in the last decades. This review aims to provide current highlights on the application of various types of metal NPs for organic transformations in aqueous media. The remarkable benefits associated with the catalytic application of NPs in water allows for various transformations to be performed under very mild and green conditions. Lastly, the author's perspectives are briefly considered, including future developments and crucial challenges in the ever-growing field of nanocatalysis.

Abstract
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is an important clinical tumor marker of hepatoblastoma, and the concentration of AFP in serum is closely related to the staging of hepatoblastoma. We report a magnetic bead separation platform based on a switching aptamer triggered hybridization chain reaction (SAT-HCR) and the CRISPR-Cas12a sensor for the in vitro detection of AFP. AFP aptamer, as an easily regulated nucleic acid strand, is responsible for binding to AFP into nucleic acid detection, while HCR-CRISPR-Cas12a, regulated by functionalized magnetic nanoparticles, is responsible for highly specific nucleic acid signal amplification. Under the optimal conditions, the fluorescence intensity was proportional to the concentration of AFP in the range of 0.5-104 ng mL-1 and the limit of detection was 0.170 ng mL-1. In addition, we have successfully applied this biosensor to detect AFP in clinical samples from patients with hepatoblastoma, with greater sensitivity relative to ELISA. Our proposed method showed great potential application in clinical diagnosis and pharmaceutical-related fields with the properties of high sensitivity, low cost and high selectivity.

Abstract
A facile strategy has been reported to anchor silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) onto three-dimensional reduced graphene oxide (3D rGO) via a green and simple method. An accurate and reliable electrochemical sensing platform based on Ag NPs/3D rGO was designed for the ultrasensitive detection of rifampicin (RIF). The morphology and features of Ag NPs/3D rGO were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy and electrochemical measurements. The interface of the modified electrode presented effective electrical activity for the analysis of RIF due to the large electrochemically active surface area and excellent electron transport ability. The sensor exhibited a good linear relationship in the range of 0.01 nM-45 μM and a low detection limit of 0.810 nM (S/N = 3). Crucially, the fabricated Ag NPs/3D rGO sensor was successfully utilized to assess RIF in human blood, drug and aquatic product samples. This sensing platform exhibited outstanding electrochemical performance for RIF detection and showed great potential application in clinical diagnosis, pharmaceutical and food-related fields.

Abstract
Artificial enzymes based on inorganic solids with both enzyme-mimetic activities and the special material features has been a promising candidate to overcome many deleterious effects of native enzymes in analytical applications. Polyoxometalates (POMs) are an importance class of molecular metal-oxygen anionic clusters. Their outstanding physicochemical properties, versatility and potential applications in energy conversion, magnetism, catalysis, molecular electronics and biomedicine have long been studied. However, the analytical applications of them is limited. Recently, the intrinsic enzymatic activities of POMs have also been found and become an area of growing interest. In this review, along with other reports, we aimed to classify the enzymatic activity of POMs, summarize the construction of POMs-based enzymes, and survey their recent advances in analytical fields. Finally, the current challenges and trends of the polyoxometalates with enzymatic activity in future chemo-/bio-sensing applications are briefly discussed.

Abstract
In this report, a green, simple, inexpensive, and effective nonenzymatic electrochemical glucose sensor was fabricated using multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) decorated with copper (II) oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs). Basil seed mucilage (BSM) was served as reducing, capping, and stabilizing agents in the synthesis of CuO NPs.The prepared MWCNT/CuO nanocomposite was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and electrochemical methods. The FTIR results indicated that the nanocomposite surface was covered by BSM. The FESEM results show that the CuO NPs with an average particle size lower than 10 nm have been well distributed on the walls of the MWCNT. The electrochemical behavior of the nanocomposite was explored by studying the electrocatalytic behavior of the screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) modified by the nanocomposite (SPCE-MWCNT/CuO) toward the glucose oxidation. In the optimum conditions, the electrode indicated a wide linear response from 5.0 to 620.0 μM with regression coefficients of 0.992, the sensitivity of 1050 μA mM-1 cm-2, a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.7 μM, and a reproducibility with relative standard deviation (RSD) variations from 3.5 to 11% for three measurements at each point. The obtained results also showed good selectivity to glucose against interfering species such as lactate (LA), L-ascorbic acid (AA), and urea (U) due to the use of the negatively charged BSM in the form of a coating on the nanocomposite surface. The applicability of the sensor was successfully verified by the determination of glucose concentration in artificial tears with a certain amount of glucose.

Abstract
CuO nanomaterials are one of the metal-oxides that received extensive investigations in recent years due to their versatility for applications in high-performance nano-devices. Tailoring the device performance through the engineering of properties in the CuO nanomaterials thus attracted lots of effort. In this paper, we show that nanosecond (ns) laser irradiation is effective in improving the electrical and optoelectrical properties in the copper oxide nanowires (CuO NWs). We find that ns laser irradiation can achieve joining between CuO NWs and interdigital gold electrodes. Meanwhile, the concentration and type of point defects in CuO can be controlled by ns laser irradiation as well. An increase in the concentration of defect centers, together with a reduction in the potential energy barrier at the Au/CuO interfaces due to laser irradiation increases electrical conductivity and enhances photo-conductivity. We demonstrate that the enhanced electrical and photo-conductivity achieved through ns laser irradiation can be beneficial for applications such as resistive switching and photo-detection.

Abstract
Porphyrin assemblies have controllable morphology, high biocompatibility, and good optical properties and were widely used in biomedical diagnosis and treatment. With the development of DNA biotechnology, combining DNA with porphyrin assemblies can broaden the biological applications of porphyrins. Porphyrin assemblies can serve as nanocarriers for DNA, although the fundamental interactions between them are not well understood. In this work, zinc meso-tetra(4-pyridyl)porphyrin (ZnTPyP) assemblies were prepared in the presence of various surfactants and at different pH values, yielding a variety of aggregation forms. Among them, the hexagonal stacking form exposes more pyridine substituents, and the hydrogen bonding force between the substituents and the DNA bases allows the DNA to be quickly adsorbed on the surface of the assemblies. The effects of DNA sequence and length were systematically tested. In particular, the adsorption of duplex DNA was less efficient compared to the adsorption of single-stranded DNA. This fundamental study is useful for the further combination of DNA and porphyrin assemblies to prepare new functional hybrid nanomaterials.

Abstract
Herein, we prepared CoO nanozymes with three types of enzyme catalytic activities for the first time, which have SOD-like, CAT-like, and POD-like catalytic activities. This is the first study to report the preparation of CoO nanoparticles with three types of enzyme catalytic activities by the one-pot method. By modifying the surface of CoO nanozymes with a carboxyl group, its biocompatibility enhanced, so it can be used in the field of life sciences. In vitro cytotoxicity and anti-H2O2-induced ROS experiments proved that CoO nanozymes can protect HaCaT cells against ROS and cytotoxicity induced by H2O2. In addition, an atopic dermatitis (AD) mouse model was established by topical application of MC903, which verified the anti-inflammatory effect of CoO nanozymes on the AD mouse model. Traditional drugs for the treatment of AD, such as dexamethasone, have significant side-effects. The side-effects include skin burns, telangiectasias, and even serious drug dependence. CoO nano-enzymes have a low cytotoxicity and its multiple enzyme-like catalytic activities can effectively protect cells and tissues in ROS environments, which proves that CoO nano-enzymes have high application potential in the field of anti-inflammation.

Abstract
Controlling DNA adsorption on nanomaterials is crucial for a wide range of applications in analytical and biomedical sciences. Polydopamine (PDA) is a versatile material that can be coated on nearly any surface, and thus adsorbing DNA onto PDA can be a general method for indirect DNA functionalization of surfaces. Polyvalent metal ions were reported to promote DNA adsorption on PDA nanoparticles (NPs), but previous works added the metal ions after the formation of PDA. Herein, we compared the effect of polyvalent metal ions added during the synthesis of PDA NPs (called metal-doped) with the effect of polyvalent metal ions added after the synthesis (metal-adsorbed). A series of metal ions including Ca2+, Zn2+, Ni2+, Fe3+, and Gd3+ were tested, and Zn2+ was studied in detail due to its excellent ability for promoting DNA adsorption. With 100 μM Zn2+, metal-doped NPs were ∼30% more efficient than metal-adsorbed NPs for DNA adsorption in buffer attributable to a higher metal loading on the surface of the metal-doped NPs. Metal leaching was negligible from the metal-doped NPs, and they showed a remarkably higher robustness than the metal-adsorbed NPs, resulting in a 20-fold higher DNA extraction efficiency from serum. Based on the desorption studies, a higher adsorption affinity for the metal-doped NPs was confirmed. Finally, the Zn2+-doped PDA NPs were used for sensitive DNA detection with a limit of detection of 0.45 nM, and the sensor was highly resistant to nonspecific protein and phosphate displacement.

Abstract
Since the ferromagnetic (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were firstly reported to exert enzyme-like activity in 2007, extensive research progress in nanozymes has been made with deep investigation of diverse nanozymes and rapid development of related nanotechnologies. As promising alternatives for natural enzymes, nanozymes have broadened the way toward clinical medicine, food safety, environmental monitoring, and chemical production. The past decade has witnessed the rapid development of metal- and metal oxide-based nanozymes owing to their remarkable physicochemical properties in parallel with low cost, high stability, and easy storage. It is widely known that the deep study of catalytic activities and mechanism sheds significant influence on the applications of nanozymes. This review digs into the characteristics and intrinsic properties of metal- and metal oxide-based nanozymes, especially emphasizing their catalytic mechanism and recent applications in biological analysis, relieving inflammation, antibacterial, and cancer therapy. We also conclude the present challenges and provide insights into the future research of nanozymes constituted of metal and metal oxide nanomaterials.

Abstract
Heavy metal pollution has become more and more serious with industrial development and resource exploitation. Because heavy metal ions are difficult to be biodegraded, they accumulate in the human body and cause serious threat to human health. However, the conventional methods to detect heavy metal ions are more strictly to the requirements by detection equipment, sample pretreatment, experimental environment, etc. Aptasensor has the advantages of strong specificity, high sensitivity and simple preparation to detect small molecules, which provides a new direction platform in the detection of heavy metal ions. This paper reviews the selection of aptamers as target for heavy metal ions since the 21th century and aptasensors application for detection of heavy metal ions that were reported in the past five years. Firstly, the selection methods for aptamers with high specificity and high affinity are introduced. Construction methods and research progress on sensor based aptamers as recognition element are also introduced systematically. Finally, the challenges and future opportunities of aptasensors in detecting heavy metal ions are discussed.

Abstract
Here, we report on an electrochemical biosensor based on core-shell structure of gold nano/micro-islands (NMIs) and electropolymerized imprinted ortho-phenylenediamine (o-PD) for detection of heart-fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP). The shape and distribution of NMIs (the core) were tuned by controlled electrodeposition of gold on a thin layer of electrochemically reduced graphene oxide (ERGO). NMIs feature a large active surface area to achieve a low detection limit (2.29 fg mL-1, a sensitivity of 1.34 × 1013 μA mM-1) and a wide linear range of detection (1 fg mL-1 to 100 ng mL-1) in PBS. Facile template H-FABP removal from the layer (the shell) in less than 1 min, high specificity against interference from myoglobin and troponin T, great stability at ambient temperature, and rapidity in detection of H-FABP (approximately 30 s) are other advantages of this biomimetic biosensor. The electrochemical measurements in human serum, human plasma, and bovine serum showed acceptable recovery (between 91.1 ± 1.7 and 112.9 ± 2.1%) in comparison with the ELISA method. Moreover, the performance of the biosensor in clinical serum showed lower detection time and limit of detection against lateral flow assay (LFA) rapid test kits, as a reference method. Ultimately, the proposed biosensor based on the core-shell structure of gold NMIs and MIP opens interesting avenues in the detection of proteins with low cost, high sensitivity and significantstability for clinical applications.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles have been widely used for the separation of biomolecules for biological applications due to the mild and efficient separation process. In previous studies, core-shell magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) were designed for DNA extraction without much sequence specificity. In this work, to achieve highly selective DNA extraction, we designed a core-shell magnetic structure by coating polydopamine (PDA) on Fe3O4 NPs. Without divalent metal ions, PDA does not adsorb DNA at neutral pH. The Fe3O4@PDA NPs were then functionalized with spherical nucleic acids (SNA) to provide a high density of probe DNA. Fe3O4@PDA@SNA was also compared with when a linear SH-DNA was covalently attached to the NPs surface, showing a higher density of the probe SNA than SH-DNA can be loaded on the NPs in a remarkably shorter time. Nonspecific DNA extraction was thoroughly inhibited by both probes. DNA extraction by the Fe3O4@PDA@SNA was more effective as well as 5-fold faster than by the Fe3O4@PDA@SH-DNA, probably due to the favorable standing conformation of DNA strands in SNA. Moreover, extraction by Fe3O4@PDA@SNA showed high robustness in fetal bovine serum, and the same design can be used for selective detection of DNA. Finally, the method was also demonstrated on silica NPs and WS2 nanosheets for coating with PDA and SNA. Altogether, our findings revealed an interesting and general surface modification strategy using PDA@SNA conjugates for sequence-specific DNA extraction.

Abstract
Target molecule-induced desorption of aptamer probes from nanomaterials has been a very popular sensing method, taking advantage of the fluorescence quenching or catalytic activity of nanomaterials for signal generation. While it is generally conceived that aptamers desorb due to binding to target molecules, in this work, we examined the effect of competitive target adsorption. From five metal oxide nanoparticles including CeO2, ZnO, NiO, Fe3O4, and TiO2, only ATP was able to induce desorption of its aptamer. Adenosine could not, even though it had an even higher affinity than ATP to the aptamer. The same conclusion was also observed with a random DNA that cannot bind ATP, indicating that the desorption of DNA was due to competitive adsorption of ATP instead of aptamer binding. On graphene oxide, however, adenosine produced slightly more aptamer desorption than ATP under most of the conditions, and this can be partially attributed to the weaker interaction of negatively charged ATP with negatively charged graphene oxide. For such surface-based biosensors, it is recommended that a nonaptamer control DNA be tested side-by-side to ensure the sensing mechanism to be related to aptamer binding instead of target adsorption.

Abstract
Montmorillonite (MMT) is a two-dimensional (2D) clay material. Its abundance on the early earth has attracted studies for its role in prebiotic reactions, and adsorption of DNA to MMT is potentially important for understanding the origin of life. Although several possible models of DNA adsorption on MMT have been established, a consensus on the adsorption mechanism has yet to be formed, thereby a fundamental adsorption study is performed here. Adding up to 300 mM NaCl failed to promote DNA adsorption on MMT, Al2O3, or SiO2 nanoparticles. For polyvalent metals, DNA adsorption was achieved following the order Ce3+ > Cu2+ > Ni2+ > Zn2+. Among them, Ce3+ and Cu2+ inverted the surface charge of MMT to positive. In addition, using washing experiments, Cu2+- and Ce3+-mediated adsorption mainly depended on the DNA phosphate backbone, while Ni2+ and Zn2+ interacted with the backbone phosphate groups and adenine bases of DNA. Overall, these polyvalent metal ions promoted DNA adsorption via a cation bridge model. This research provides new insights into the surface interactions of MMT and DNA, which is conducive to future work on the interaction between clays and biopolymers.

Abstract
This study aims to discuss the synthesis and fabrication of SnO2-In2O3-based thick-films and their biosensing applications. The structural characterization of SnO2-In2O3 nanocomposites was performed using X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Furthermore, the screen-printing technology was used in the fabrication of conductive electrodes to form an interdigitated capacitive structure, and the sensor layer based on the mixture of SnO2 and In2O3. Moreover, the sensing performance of the developed structure was tested using Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) bacteria. In addition, the validation of sensing characteristics was performed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopic and self-resonant frequency analysis. Finally, the sensing properties were analyzed for two consecutive days, and changes in both P. aeruginosa and S. aureus pathogens growing media were also studied.

Abstract
In recent years, gold nanoparticles have demonstrated excellent enzyme-mimicking activities which resemble those of peroxidase, oxidase, catalase, superoxide dismutase or reductase. This, merged with their ease of synthesis, tunability, biocompatibility and low cost, makes them excellent candidates when compared with biological enzymes for applications in biomedicine or biochemical analyses. Herein, over 200 research papers have been systematically reviewed to present the recent progress on the fundamentals of gold nanozymes and their potential applications. The review reveals that the morphology and surface chemistry of the nanoparticles play an important role in their catalytic properties, as well as external parameters such as pH or temperature. Yet, real applications often require specific biorecognition elements to be immobilized onto the nanozymes, leading to unexpected positive or negative effects on their activity. Thus, rational design of efficient nanozymes remains a challenge of paramount importance. Different implementation paths have already been explored, including the application of peroxidase-like nanozymes for the development of clinical diagnostics or the regulation of oxidative stress within cells via their catalase and superoxide dismutase activities. The review also indicates that it is essential to understand how external parameters may boost or inhibit each of these activities, as more than one of them could coexist. Likewise, further toxicity studies are required to ensure the applicability of gold nanozymes in vivo. Current challenges and future prospects of gold nanozymes are discussed in this review, whose significance can be anticipated in a diverse range of fields beyond biomedicine, such as food safety, environmental analyses or the chemical industry.

Abstract
Nanozymes are nanomaterials with enzyme-like activities. Compared to natural enzymes, nanozymes are more stable and cost-effective, and they have unique properties due to their nanoscale size and surface chemistry. In this review, we summarize 'signal-on' nanozyme-based sensors for detecting metal ions, anions, small molecules and proteins. Since protein-based enzymes are already highly active, they were used to detect their inhibitors, resulting in 'signal-off' sensors. On the other hand, for nanozymes, target molecules were detected either as a promotor of nanozyme activity or for its ability to selectively remove nanozyme inhibitors. In both cases, 'signal-on' detection was achieved. We classify the commonly used nanozymes based on their composition such as metal oxide, gold nanoparticles and other nanomaterials, most of which belong to the oxidase, peroxidase and catalase mimics. The nanozymes can catalyze the oxidation of colorless or non-fluorescent substrates to produce a visual or fluorescent signal. Based on this, this article presents some typical 'turn-on' and 'turn-off-on' sensors, and we critically review their design principles. At the end, further perspectives for the nanozyme-based sensors are outlined.

Abstract
Water resources are of extreme importance for both human society and the environment. However, human activity has increasingly resulted in the contamination of these resources with a wide range of materials that can prevent their use. Nanomaterials provide a possible means to reduce this contamination, but their removal from water after use may be difficult. The addition of a magnetic character to nanomaterials makes their retrieval after use much easier. The following review comprises a short survey of the most recent reports in this field. It comprises five sections, an introduction into the theme, reports on single magnetic nanoparticles, magnetic nanocomposites containing two of more nanomaterials, magnetic nanocomposites containing material of a biologic origin and finally, observations about the reported research with a view to future developments. This review should provide a snapshot of developments in what is a vibrant and fast-moving area of research.

Abstract
Adsorbing DNA oligonucleotides onto nanoparticles is the first step in developing DNA-based biosensors, drug delivery systems, and smart materials. Since DNA is a polyanion, it is repelled by negatively charged nanoparticles, which constitute the majority of commonly used nanomaterials. Adding salt such as NaCl to screen charge repulsion is a standard method of promoting DNA adsorption. However, Na+ does not supply additional attractive forces. In addition, adding a high concentration of NaCl can cause the aggregation of nanomaterials. In this feature article, we mainly summarize the methods developed in our laboratory to promote DNA adsorption by lowering the pH and by adding polyvalent metal ions, especially transition-metal ions. Various materials including noble metals (gold, silver, and platinum), 2D materials (graphene oxide, MoS2, WS2, and MXene), polydopamine, and several metal oxides are discussed. In general, low pH can protonate DNA bases and nanoparticle surfaces, reducing charge repulsion and even leading to attraction, although DNA folding at low pH can sometimes be detrimental to adsorption. Polyvalent metal ions can bridge additional interactions to achieve otherwise impossible adsorption. On the basis of the current understanding, a few future research directions are proposed to further improve DNA adsorption.

Abstract
The detection of circulating miRNA through isothermal amplification wields many attractive advantages over traditional methods, such as reverse transcription RT-qPCR. However, it is challenging to control the background signal produced in the absence of target, which severely hampers applications of such methods for detecting low abundance targets in complex biological samples. In the present work, we employed both the cobalt oxyhydroxide (CoOOH) nanoflakes and the chemical modification of hexanediol to block non-specific template elongation in exponential amplification reaction (EXPAR). Adsorption by the CoOOH nanoflakes and the hexanediol modification at the 3' end effectively prevented no-target polymerization on the template itself and thus greatly improved the performance of EXPAR, detecting as low as 10 aM of several miRNA targets, including miR-16, miR-21, and miR-122, with the fluorescent DNA staining dye of SYBR Gold™. Little to no cross-reactivity was observed from the interfering strands present in 10-fold excess. Besides contributing to background reduction, the CoOOH nanoflakes strongly adsorbed nucleic acids and isolated them from a complex sample matrix, thus permitting successful detection of the target miRNA in the serum. We expect that simple but sensitive template-blocking EXPAR could be a valuable tool to help with the discovery and validation of miRNA markers in biospecimens. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
Polydopamine (PDA) is a widely used universal coating for a broad range of materials. Interfacing PDA with various biomolecules, such as DNA, is critical for applications such as sensing, intracellular delivery, and material fabrication. Because of the negative surface charge of PDA at neutral pH, electrostatic repulsion exists between PDA and DNA. In previous studies, modified DNA or low pH was used to overcome this repulsion for DNA adsorption. More recently, divalent Ca2+ was found to bridge DNA and PDA. Herein, we studied four transition metals (Mn2+, Co2+, Zn2+, and Ni2+) and compared their efficiencies with Ca2+ for promoting DNA adsorption. These transition metals induced a more efficient and tighter DNA binding compared to Ca2+. In all these cases, the DNA phosphate backbone played a dominant role in adsorption, although DNA bases might also interact with strong binding metals such as Ni2+. Moreover, when the adsorption affinity was stronger, sensing was more selective to complementary DNA. Finally, aging of PDA appeared to be detrimental for DNA adsorption, which could be due to further oxidation of PDA. We showed that using Zn2+ or Ni2+ could considerably relieve the aging effect, while storing PDA at 4 °C could slow down aging.

Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs) are highly fluorescent nanomaterials with surface carboxyl and amino groups. However, their exact structure remains under debate. In this work, we probed the surface properties of CDs by physically adsorbing them onto various nanomaterials. Three types of nanomaterials, including CeO2 nanoparticles (nanoceria), gold nanoparticles, and graphene oxide were tested. Among them, nanoceria strongly adsorbed the CDs and quenched their fluorescence. For the tested anions to compete with the CDs for adsorption, only phosphate and F- induced desorption of the CDs from nanoceria, and the phosphate-induced desorption was less compared to that by F-. This was opposite to the desorption of DNA from nanoceria, where phosphate induced more DNA desorption. Furthermore, using calcein and fluorescein as representative dyes for comparison, we conclude that the CDs might use their carboxyl groups to adsorb on nanoceria, while DNA uses its phosphate backbone for adsorption. This difference may explain their occupying different surface sites on nanoceria and different displacement by phosphate and F-. Using nanomaterials as probes to understand the surface properties of CDs is effective, and such understanding might in turn be used for building hybrid materials for applications.
