Abstract
The wettability of precursor solution on substrates is the critical factor for fabricating quality film. In this work, superwetting nanofluids (NFs) of non-stoichiometric nickel oxide (NiOx) nanocrystals (NCs)-CsBr solution are first utilized to fabricate quality NiOx-CsPbBr3 hybrid film with gradient-distributed NiOx NCs in the upper part for constructing hole transport ladder in carbon-based perovskite solar cells (C-PSCs). As anticipated, the crystalline properties (improved crystalline grain diameters and reduced impurity phase) and hole extraction/transport of the NiOx-CsPbBr3 hybrid film are improved after incorporating NiOx NCs into CsPbBr3. This originates from the superb wettability of NiOx-CsBr NFs on substrates and the excellent hole-transport properties of NiOx. Consequently, the C-PSCs with the structure of FTO/SnO2/NiOx-CsPbBr3/C displays a power conversion efficiency of 10.07%, resulting in a 23.6% improvement as compared with the pristine CsPbBr3 cell. This work opens up a promising strategy to improve the absorber layer in PSCs by incorporating NCs into perovskite layers through the use of the superwettability of NFs and by composition gradient engineering.

Abstract
Piezocatalysis, a heterogeneous catalytic technique, leverages the periodic electric field changes generated by piezoelectric materials under external forces to drive carriers for the advanced oxidation of organic pollutants. Antibiotics, as emerging trace organic pollutants in water sources, pose a potential threat to animals and drinking water safety. Thus, piezoelectric catalysis can be used to degrade trace organic pollutants in water. In this work, BaTiO3 and La-doped BaTiO3 were synthesized using an improved sol-gel-hydrothermal method and used as piezocatalytic materials to degrade sulfadiazine (SDZ) with ultrasound activation. High-crystallinity products with nano cubic and spherical morphologies were successfully synthesized. An initial concentration of SDZ ranging from 1 to 10 mg/L, a catalysis dosage range from 1 to 2.5 mg/mL, pH, and the background ions in the water were considered as influencing factors and tested. The reaction rate constant was 0.0378 min-1 under the optimum working conditions, and the degradation efficiency achieved was 89.06% in 60 min. La-doped BaTiO3 had a better degradation efficiency, at 14.98% on average, compared to undoped BaTiO3. Further investigations into scavengers revealed a partially piezocatalytic process for the degradation of SDZ. In summary, our work provides an idea for green environmental protection in dealing with new types of environmental pollution.

Abstract
Although utilizing nanomaterial-modified electrodes for lead ion detection has achieved great success, most of them are carried out under acidic conditions and ignore the variation of Pb(II) speciation at different pH conditions, leading to the potential inaccuracy of Pb(II) detection in a neutral natural water environment. Thus, designing a novel catalyst with high accuracy for the detection of various forms of the total amount of Pb(II) (Pb2+ and Pb(OH)+) in neutral waters is significant. Herein, Pt nanoclusters (Pt NCs) were elaborately constructed and stabilized on the Co single-atom-doped g-C3N4 with abundant N vacancies (Pt NCs/VN-C3N4), which achieved the ultrasensitive detection (102.16 μM μA-1) of Pb(II) in neutral conditions. The dynamic simulation and theoretical calculations reveal that the parallel deposition of Pb2+ and Pb(OH)+ occurs on the electrode surface modified by Pt NCs/VN-C3N4, and the current peaks of Pb(II) are cocontributed by Pb2+ and Pb(OH)+ species. An "electron inverse" phenomenon in Pt NCs/VN-C3N4 from the VN-C3N4 substrate to Pt NCs endows Pt NCs in an electron-rich state, serving as active centers to promote rapid and efficient reduction for both Pb2+ and Pb(OH)+, facilitating the accurate detection of the total amount of Pb(II) in all forms in the actual water environment.

Abstract
The construction of materials with rapid electron transfer is considered an effective method for enhancing electrochemical activity in electroanalysis. It has been widely demonstrated that valence changes in transition metal ions can promote electron transfer and thus increase electrochemical activity. Recently, valence-variable transition metal oxides (TMOs) have shown popular application in electrochemical analysis by using their abundant valence state changes to accelerate electron transfer during electrochemical detection. In this review, we summarize recent research advances in valence changes of TMOs and their application in electrochemical analysis. This includes the definition and mechanism of valence change, the association of valence changes with electronic structure, and their applications in electrochemical detection, along with the use of density functional theory (DFT) to simulate the process of electron transfer during valence changes. Finally, the challenges and opportunities for developing and applying valence changes in electrochemical analysis are also identified.

Synergistic activation of P and orbital coupling effect for ultra-sensitive and selective electrochemical detection of Cd(II) over Fe-doped CoP. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 463:132842.

Abstract
Despite significant advancements in the detection of cadmium (Cd(II)) based on nanomaterial adsorbability, limited research has been conducted on ultra-sensitive and selective detection mechanisms, resulting in a lack of guidance for designing efficient interface materials to detect Cd(II). Herein, reductive Fe doping on CoP facilitates an efficient Fe-Co-P electron transfer path, which renders P the electron-rich site and subsequently splits a new orbital peak that matches with that of Cd(II) for excellent electrochemical performance. The sensitivity of Cd(II) was remarkably up to 109.75 μA μM-1 on the Fe-CoP modified electrode with excellent stability and repeatability, surpassing previously reported findings. Meanwhile, the electrode exhibits exceptional selectivity towards Cd(II) ions compared to some bivalent heavy metal ions (HMIs). Moreover, X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) analysis reveals the interaction between P and Cd(II), which is further verified via density functional theory (DFT) calculation with the new hybrid peaks resulting from the splitting peak of P atoms coupled with the orbital energy level of Cd(II). Generally, doping engineering for specific active sites and regulation of orbital electrons not only provides valuable insights for the subsequent regulation of electronic configuration but also lays the foundation for customizing highly sensitive and selectivity sensors.

Abstract
Transition metal oxides are widely used in the detection of heavy metal ions (HMIs), and the co-doping strategy that introducing a variety of different dopant atoms to modify them can obtain a better detection performance. However, there is very little research on the co-doped transition metal oxides by non-metallic elements for electrochemical detection. Herein, boron (B) and fluorine (F) co-doped CeO2 nanomaterial (BFC) is constructed to serve as the electrochemically sensitive interface for the detection of Hg(II). B and F affect the sensitivity of CeO2 to HMIs when they were introduced at different doping sites. Through a variety of characterization, it is proved that B is successfully doped into the lattice and F is doped on the surface of the material. Through the improvement of the catalytic properties and adsorption capacity of CeO2 by different doping sites, this B and F co-doped CeO2 exhibits excellent square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV) current responses to Hg(II). Both the high sensitivity of 906.99 μA μM-1 cm-2 and the low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.006 μM are satisfactory. Besides, this BFC glassy carbon electrode (GCE) also has good anti-interference property, which has been successfully used in the detection of Hg(II) in actual water. This discovery provides a useful strategy for designing a variety of non-metallic co-doped transition metal oxides to construct trace heavy metal ion-sensitive interfaces.

Abstract
A low-cost and environment-friendly sensor was developed for visual determination of gold ions (Au3+) by using label-free hydrogen doped molybdenum oxide (H0.3MoO3) nanoparticles as ratio probes. According to the characterization results of transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectra, Au3+ is easily reduced to red Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) by blue H0.3MoO3 nanoparticles. The color change of the solution depends on the concentration of Au3+, which makes it possible to detect Au3+ visually. Under optimal experimental conditions of pH 4.6, H0.3MoO3 nanoparticles concentration of 0.075 mg·mL-1, and reaction time of 7 min, the sensor offers a satisfactory determination range from 0.5 to 70 μM and a good determination limit of 0.45 μM for Au3+. The concentration of Au3+ as low as 10 μM can be directly distinguished through the naked eye. Additionally, the colorimetric probe has also been proved applicable in environmental water samples. More importantly, the resulting AuNPs have good stability and oxidase-like activity, which may be directly used in sensing, catalysis, energy, and other fields.

Abstract
Heterostructured TiO2@MXene rich in oxygen vacancies defects (VO-TiO2@MXene) has been developed to construct an electrochemical sensing platform for imidacloprid (IMI) determination. For the material design, TiO2 nanoparticles were firstly in situ grown on MXene and used as a scaffolding to prevent the stack of MXene nanosheets. The obtained TiO2@MXene heterostructure displays excellent layered structure and large specific surface area. After that, electrochemical activation is utilized to treat TiO2@MXene, which greatly increases the concentration of surface oxygen vacancies (VOs), thereby remarkably enhancing the conductivity and adsorption capacity of the composite. Accordingly, the prepared VO-TiO2@MXene displays excellent electrocatalytic activity toward the reduction of IMI. Under optimum conditions, cyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry techniques were utilized to investigate the electrochemical behavior of IMI at the VO-TiO2@MXene/GCE. The proposed sensor based on VO-TiO2@MXene presents an obvious reduction peak at -1.05 V(vs. Hg|Hg2Cl2) with two linear ranges from 0.07 - 10.0 μM and 10.0 - 70.0 μM with a detection limit of 23.3 nM (S/N= 3). Furthermore, the sensor provides a reliable result for detecting IMI in fruit and vegetable samples with a recovery of 97.9-103% and RSD≤ 4.3%. A sensitive electrochemical sensing platform was reported for imidacloprid (IMI) determination based on heterostructured TiO2@MXene rich in oxygen vacancy defects.

[PMID: 36937602 PMCID: PMC10016426 DOI: 10.1039/d2sc06762e] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2022] [Accepted: 02/17/2023] [Indexed: 02/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Although the enhanced intrinsic activities of some nano-metal oxides are obtained by manufacturing oxygen vacancies (OVs), the effect of multiple roles of OVs is ambiguous. Herein, an interface catalytic regulation via electron rearrangement and hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) was proposed with the designed ZrO2 hollow sphere rich in OVs (Vo-rich ZrO2). Surprisingly, it was shown that the catalytic ability of Vo-rich ZrO2 was 9.9 times higher than that of ZrO2 with little OVs in electrochemical catalytic reduction of Pb(ii). It was found that the generation of Zr2+ and Zr3+ caused by OVs results in the rearrangement of abundant free electrons to facilitate the catalytic reaction rates. The longer bond length between Vo-rich ZrO2 and reactants, and the lower adsorption energy are beneficial for reactants to desorb, improving the conversion rates. Besides, the produced ˙OH were captured which were induced by OVs and trace divalent heavy metal ions in in situ electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) experiments, contributing to lowering the energy barriers. This study not only revealed the enhanced interface catalytic effect of electron rearrangement and generated ˙OH triggered by OVs, but also provided unique insights into interface catalytic regulation on nano-metal oxides simulated by OVs.

Abstract
Herein, a novel MXene aerogel-CuO/carbon cloth (MXA-CuO/CC) electrochemical sensor was constructed, and the synergistic adsorption of heavy metal ions by oxygen vacancies and Bi (III) was investigated with Cd2+ and Pb2+ as detection targets. The oxygen vacancies of CuO have a strong affinity for heavy metal ions, which promoted the adsorption of Cd2+ and Pb2+ on the electrode surface. In addition, the introduced Bi (III) can form alloys with heavy metal ions, which effectively enhanced the adsorption capacity of sensing electrodes for Cd2+ and Pb2+. Differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV) was used to study the performance of MXA-CuO/CC sensitive electrode for the detection of Cd2+ and Pb2+ separately and simultaneously. The constructed sensing electrode has excellent detection performance, and can detect Cd2+ (4 μg L-1- 800 μg L-1) and Pb2+ (4 μg L-1- 1200 μg L-1) simultaneously with detection limits of 0.3 μg L-1 (Cd2+) and 0.2 μg L-1 (Pb2+), respectively. The proposed sensor electrode also has good anti-interference performance, excellent stability and reproducibility. It is worth mentioning that the proposed method can accurately detect Cd2+ and Pb2+ in food and water samples, which is consistent with the detection results of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS).

Abstract
Constructing high-effective electrode sensing interfaces has been considered an effective method for electrochemical detection toward heavy metal ions (HMIs). However, most research has been devoted to enhancing the stripping currents of HMIs by simply improving the adsorptive capacity and conductivity of the electrode modified materials, while lacking theoretical guidelines in fabricating catalytic sensing interfaces. Besides, the understanding of detection mechanisms is quite unscientific from the perspective of catalysis. This perspective summarizes five general strategies in designing highly efficient sensing interfaces in the recent five years, including modulating crystal phases, orientations and planes, defect engineering, ionic valence state cycle engineering, adsorption in situ catalysis strategy, and construction of atomic level catalytic active sites. What's more, the catalytic mechanisms for improving the signals of HMIs, such as boosting the electron transfer rates and conversion rates, lowering the energy barriers, etc., are introduced and emphasized. This study has a great significance in directionally controlling functionalized electrochemical sensors to achieve excellent sensitivity and selectivity in detecting environmental pollutants from the view of catalysis, and it also brings enlightenments and guidance to develop new electroanalytical methods.

Abstract
Constructing catalysts with simple structures, uniform effective sites, and excellent performance is crucial for understanding the reaction mechanism of target pollutants. Herein, the single-atom catalyst of Mn-intercalated graphitic carbon nitride (Mn/g-C3N4) was prepared. It was found that the intercalated Mn atoms acted as strong electron donors to effectively tune the electronic structure distribution of the in-situ N atoms, providing a large number of negative potential atomic-scale sites for catalytic reactions. In the detection, the in-situ N atom established an electron bridge for the transient electrostatic trapping of free Pb(II), which induced Pb-N-Mn coordination bonding. Even in g-C3N4-loaded Mn nanoparticles, the N atom was again confirmed to be the interaction site for coupling with Pb. And the MnII-N4-C/MnIV-N4-C cycle actively participated in the electrocatalysis of Pb(II) was confirmed. Moreover, Mn/g-C3N4 achieved highly stable and accurate detection for Pb(II) with a sensitivity of 2714.47 µA·µM-1·cm-2. And excellent reproducibility and specific detection of real water samples made the electrode practical. This study contributes to understanding the changes in the electronic structure of chemically inert substrates after single-atom intercalation and the interaction between contaminants and the microstructure of sensitive materials, providing a guiding strategy for designing highly active electrocatalytic interfaces for accurate electroanalysis.

Abstract
The current work deals with the fabrication of novel MoO3 nanostructured films with Ce and Cu co-doping through the spray pyrolysis route on a glass substrate maintained at 460 °C for the first time. The phase of developed films was approved by an X-ray diffraction study, and the crystallite size was determined between 82 and 92 nm. The optical transmission of the developed films was noticed to be reduced with doping and found between 45 and 90% for all films, and the absorption edge shifted to a higher wavelength with doping. The optical energy gap of the fabricated films was found to be reduced from 3.85 to 3.28 eV with doping. The developed films were used to degrade the harmful Eosin-Y dye under UV light. The system with 2% Ce and 1% Cu-doped MoO3 turned out to be the most effective catalyst for photodegradation of the dye in a period of 3H and almost degrade it. Hence, the MoO3 films prepared with 2% Ce and 1% Cu will be highly applicable as photocatalysts for the removal of hazardous dye from wastewater.

Abstract
A novel rotary cloth/paper hybrid microfluidic analytical device (μCPAD) was proposed via the synergy of the fluorescence sensing cloth-based component and rotary paper-based microfluidic analytical device (μPAD) for simultaneous detection of mercury (Hg2+) and lead (Pb2+) ions. Fluorescence sensing cloth-based component was prepared by grafting quantum dots onto cotton cloth and then modifying with ion imprinted polymers (IIP). Because the cloth has good ductility and durability, it can bear strong oscillation during the fabrication of grafting quantum dots and IIP, and brings a lot of convenience to the production process. At the same time, because rotary μCPAD was stacked by three-layer papers with designed hydrophilic channels and hydrophobic barriers, it could realize simultaneous detection of Hg2+ and Pb2+ ions by rotating top layer counterclockwise or clockwise. The fluorescence signals were obtained through quantum dots' electron transfer fluorescence quenching effect with the limits of detection were 0.18 and 0.07 μg/L, respectively. This method successfully realized the transference of specific and sensitive fluorescence sensing materials (quantum dots) onto the microfluidic device to improve the portability and expanded applications. Moreover, the novel microfluidic device may have great potential in point-of-care testing of heavy metal ions in environmental monitoring fields.

Abstract
Vacancy and doping engineering are promising pathways to improve the electrocatalytic ability of nanomaterials for detecting heavy metal ions. However, the effects of the electronic structure and the local coordination on the catalytic performance are still ambiguous. Herein, cubic selenium vacancy-rich CoSe2 (c-CoSe2-x) and P-doped orthorhombic CoSe2-x (o-CoSe2-x|P) were designed via vacancy and doping engineering. An o-CoSe2-x|P-modified glass carbon electrode (o-CoSe2-x|P/GCE) acquired a high sensitivity of 1.11 μA ppb-1 toward As(III), which is about 40 times higher than that of c-CoSe2-x, outperforming most of the reported nanomaterial-modified glass carbon electrodes. Besides, o-CoSe2-x|P/GCE displayed good selectivity toward As(III) compared with other divalent heavy metal cations, which also exhibited excellent stability, repeatability, and practicality. X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy and density functional theory calculation demonstrate that electrons transferred from Co and Se to P sites through Co-P and Se-P bonds in o-CoSe2-x|P. P sites obtained plentiful electrons to form active centers, which also had a strong orbital coupling with As(III). In the detection process, As(III) was bonded with P and reduced by the electron-rich sites in o-CoSe2-x|P, thus acquiring a reinforced electrochemical sensitivity. This work provides an in-depth understanding of the influence of the intrinsic physicochemical properties of sensitive materials on the behavior of electroanalysis, thus offering a direct guideline for creating active sites on sensing interfaces.

Abstract
Cu(ii) ions are one of the most common forms of copper present in water and can cause bioaccumulation and toxicity in the human body; therefore, sensitive and selective detection methods are required. Herein, a copper ion sensor based on a UiO-66-NH2/ZnO composite material is proposed. The UiO-66-NH2/ZnO nanocomposite was prepared by an ultrasonic mixing method. The morphology and structure of the nanocomposite were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The sensitivity to Cu(ii) is 6.46 μA μM−1 and the detection limit is 0.01435 μM. The composite material is rich in –OH and –NH2 groups, which are active sites for Cu(ii) adsorption. The UiO-66-NH2/ZnO-modified electrode has good repeatability and anti-interference ability. The sensor was successfully used for the determination of Cu(ii) in an actual water sample.

Abstract
The design of artificial receptors with a specific recognition function and enhanced selectivity is highly desirable in the electrochemical sensing field, which can be used for detection of environmental pollutants. In this facet, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) featured adjustable porosities and specific host-guest recognition properties. Especially, the large hydrophobic cavity formed in the porous MOFs may become a potential artificial receptor. We herein designed a new porous MOF [Zn2(L)(IPA)(H2O)]·2DMF·2MeOH·3H2O (Zn-L-IPA) by using a functionalized sulfonylcalix[4]arene (L1) and isophthalic acid (H2IPA) (DMF = N,N'-dimethylformamide). The specific pore size and pore shape of Zn-L-IPA made it efficiently selective for absorption of bisphenol A (BPA), bisphenol F (BPF), and bisphenol S (BPS). Therefore, a rapid, highly selective, and ultrasensitive electrochemical sensing platform Zn-L-IPA@GP/GCE was fabricated by using Zn-L-IPA as a host to recognize and absorb bisphenol guests (GP = graphite powder, GCE = glassy carbon electrode). Most strikingly, the extremely low detection limits were up to 3.46 and 0.17 nM for BPA and BPF, respectively, using the Zn-L-IPA@GP/GCE electrode. Furthermore, the "recognition and adsorption" mechanism was uncovered by density functional theory with the B3LYP function. This work offered a prospective strategy for selective absorption and detection of harmful bisphenols with the MOF-based porous material.

Boosting sensitive and selective detection toward Pb(II) via activation effect of Co and orbital coupling between Pb and O over Co@Co 3O 4 nanocatalyst. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 416:126157.

Abstract
Fruitful achievements on electrochemical detection toward Pb(II) have been achieved, and their good performance is generally attributed to the adsorption property of nanomaterials. However, the design of sensing interfaces from the electronic structure and electron transfer process is limited. Here, Co@Co3O4 acquired an ultra-high detection sensitivity of 103.11 µA µM-1 toward Pb(II), outperforming the results previously reported. The interfacial oxygen atoms build an electron bridge for Co activating Co3O4. Particularly, new energy levels of oxygen atoms were generated and matched with that of Pb(II). The strong orbital coupling effect between O and Pb makes the Co@Co3O4 sensitive and selective toward Pb(II). Compared with Co metal and Co3O4, Pb(II) got more electrons from Co@Co3O4, and longer Pb-O bonds were formed, allowing more Pb(II) to be catalyzed and reduced. Also, the superior stability and reproducibility of electrochemical detection make electrodes practicably. This work reveals that metals can stimulate intrinsically catalytic activity of their metal oxides, with the generation of orbit energy levels that match to a specific analyte. It provides a promising strategy for constructing sensitive and selective sensing interfaces toward ultra-low concentration analyte in body fluid and other complex samples.

Abstract
New nanocomposites, Fe3O4@Au-FITC, were prepared and explored to develop a fluorescent detection of Pb2+. The Fe3O4@AuNPs-FITC nanocomposites could be etched by Pb2+ in the presence of Na2S2O3, leading to fluorescence recovery of FITC quenched by Fe3O4@Au nanocomposites. With the increase of Pb2+ concentration, the fluorescence recovery of Fe3O4@AuNPs-FITC increased gradually. Under optimized conditions, a detection limit of 5.2 nmol/L of Pb2+ with a linear range of 0.02-2.0 µmol/L were obtained. The assay demonstrated negligible response to common metal ions. Recoveries of 98.2-106.4% were obtained when this fluorescent method was applied in detecting Pb2+ spiked in a lake-water sample. The above results demonstrated the high potential of ion-induced nanomaterial etching in developing robust fluorescent assays.

Abstract
Based on the strategy of increasing the number of oxygen vacancies to improve the catalytic performance, we have developed a novel electrochemical sensor based on the multivalent metal oxides cerium dioxide and manganous oxide (Mn3O4/CeO2) for reliable determination of extracellular hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) released from living cells. The Mn3O4/CeO2 nanocomposite was characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The electrochemical performance of the Mn3O4/CeO2 nanocomposite modified glassy carbon electrode (Mn3O4/CeO2/GCE) was investigated. Owing to the abundant oxygen vacancies and strong synergistic effect between the multivalent Ce and Mn, the sensor exhibited excellent catalytic activity and selectivity for the electrochemical detection of H2O2 with a low quantitation limit of 2 nM. Moreover, Mn3O4/CeO2/GCE exhibited excellent reproducibility, repeatability, and long-term storage stability. Because of these remarkable analytical advantages, the constructed sensor was able to determine H2O2 released from living cells with satisfactory results. The results showed that the Mn3O4/CeO2 sensor is a promising candidate for a nanoenzymatic H2O2 sensor with the possibility of applications in physiology and diagnosis.
