THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 950:175301. [PMID: 39111428 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.175301] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2024] [Revised: 07/27/2024] [Accepted: 08/03/2024] [Indexed: 08/13/2024]
Abstract
Two-dimensional layered semiconductor materials as a distinctive class of materials are comprehensively explored for widespread applications due to narrow bandgap, controllable morphology, and tunable metal cation composition. Herein, we constructed a sensing platform of surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) by combination of nickel‑cobalt layered double hydroxide (NiCo-LDH) microurchins and plasmonic silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) for fungicide detection of thiabendazole (TBZ). The NiCo-LDHs/Ag-NPs microcomposites consist of NiCo-LDHs microurchins having a large number of nanoneedles deposited with photoreduced Ag NPs. The SERS platform with NiCo-LDHs/Ag-NPs shows an excellent SERS performance for TBZ detection, including an ultra-low detection limit of 1.49 × 10-11 M, a sublime enhancement factor of 1.71 × 109, high uniformity, good reproducibility, and long-term storage stability. The ultrahigh SERS activity of NiCo-LDH/Ag-NPs can be attributed to strong electromagnetic enhancement in the nanoscale gaps between Ag NPs, massive charge transfer through large-area NiCo-LDH/Ag-NPs interfaces, and the synergistic action of electromagnetic and charge transfer mechanisms. Besides, the unique morphology of NiCo-LDHs/Ag-NPs microcomposite provides a broad surface area for adsorption of TBZ molecules for further Raman signal enhancement. The practicability of the proposed SERS platform is confirmed by detecting TBZ in the real samples of apple juice and river water. The exceptional self-cleaning capability of the NiCo-LDHs/Ag-NPs microcomposite with an retention rate of 81.97 % even after the fifth degradation cycle underscores its impressive sustainable reusability and cost-effectiveness. The findings in this work lay the foundation for the development of high-performance SERS platforms to ensure food safety and environmental protection.

Abstract
Early detection of cancer markers is critical for cancer diagnosis and cancer therapy since these markers may indicate cancer risk, incidence, and disease prognosis. Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a type of non-specific and broad-spectrum cancer biomarker commonly utilized for early cancer diagnosis. Moreover, it serves as an essential tool to assess the efficacy of cancer treatment and monitor tumor recurrence as well as metastasis, thus garnering significant attention for precise and sensitive CEA detection. In recent years, photoelectrochemical (PEC) techniques have emerged as prominent methods in CEA detection due to the advantages of PEC, such as simple equipment requirements, cost-effectiveness, high sensitivity, low interference from background signals, and easy of instrument miniaturization. Different signal amplification methods have been reported in PEC sensors for CEA analysis. Based on these, this article reviews PEC sensors based on various signal amplification strategies for detection of CEA during the last five years. The advantages and drawbacks of these sensors were discussed, as well as future challenges.

Abstract
In recent years, aggregation-induced emission (AIE) materials have gained significant attention and have been developed for various applications in different fields including biomedical research, chemical analysis, optoelectronic devices, materials science, and nanotechnology. AIE is a unique luminescence phenomenon, and AIEgens are fluorescent moieties with relatively twisted structures that can overcome the aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect. Additionally, AIEgens offer advantages such as non-washing properties, deep tissue penetration, minimal damage to biological structures, high signal-to-noise ratio, and excellent photostability. Fluorescent probes with AIE characteristics exhibit high sensitivity, short response time, simple operation, real-time detection capability, high selectivity, and excellent biocompatibility. As a result, they have been widely applied in cellular imaging, luminescent sensing, detection of physiological abnormalities in the human body, as well as early diagnosis and treatment of diseases. This review provides a comprehensive summary and discussion of the progress over the past four years regarding the detection of metal ions, small chemical molecules, biomacromolecules, microbes, and cells based on AIE materials, along with discussing their potential applications and future development prospects.

Abstract
In this work, we explored the potential of thiol-capped CdZnTe quantum dots (QDs) as an exceptional signal tag for fluorescence aptasensing applications. Employing a one-pot hydrothermal approach, we modulated the terminal functional groups of CdZnTe QDs using l-cysteine (Lcys), 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA), and N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) as ligands. Our comparative analysis revealed that NAC-capped CdZnTe QDs (NAC-CdZnTe QDs) exhibited superior anti-interference capabilities and storage stability across various temperatures, pH levels, and storage durations. Encouraged by these promising results, we further optimized the use of ultrastable NAC-CdZnTe QDs encapsulated in dendritic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (DMSN@QDs) as an exceptional tag for the development of an advanced anti-interference fluorescence aptasensor for aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) detection. The developed aptasensor using DMSN@QDs as signal tags achieved a remarkable signal amplification of approximately 10.2 fold compared to the NAC-CdZnTe QDs coated silica (SiO2@QDs) labeled fluorescence aptasensor. This aptasensor was able to detect AFB1 within a wide range of 1 pg mL-1 to 200 ng mL-1, achieving a limit of detection as low as 0.41 pg mL-1 (S/N = 3). Crucially, the specific binding affinity between the aptamer and the target enabled the aptasensor to be easily customized for various targets by simply replacing the aptamer sequence with the desired one. The exceptional potential of NAC-CdZnTe QDs, particularly when encapsulated in DMSNs, leads to the development of highly sensitive and selective anti-interference fluorescence aptasensors for various targets, thereby, paving the way for advancements in a diverse range of applications.

Abstract
A novel photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor was developed incorporating a specifically designed RNA aptamer for the detection of theophylline (TP). This involved utilizing two nucleotide base aptamers with tailored sequences designed to target TP. The 3' end of a single-stranded RNA sequence (5'-GGAUACCA-(CH2)6-SH-3') and the 5' end of a complementary stranded RNA sequence (5'-HS-(CH2)6-CCUUGGAAGCC-3') were linked to gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and CdS quantum dots (QDs), respectively. These two single-stranded RNAs (ssRNA) formed a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) capable of recognizing TP. This major structural change altered the spacing between QDs and NPs, which signaled the presence and concentration of TP. TP was photoelectrochemical catalytic oxidation by the hole of CdS QDs under illumination, then anode photocurrent was generated. Due to the increase in surface impedance and the effect of exciton energy transfer (EET) between QDs and AuNPs, the photocurrent would undergo varying degrees of change. TP was detected by changes in photocurrent. PEC detection of TP was achieved in the range of 0.1 μM-200 μM. The detection limit was 0.033 μM. The method exhibited commendable reproducibility and remarkable selectivity. The biosensor was used to measure TP content in tea, beverages and blood samples, resulting in satisfactory recovery rates.

Abstract
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are widely considered as a reliable and promising class of markers in the field of liquid biopsy. As CTCs undergo epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), phenotype detection of heterogeneous CTCs based on EMT markers is of great significance. In this report, an integrated analytical strategy that can simultaneously capture and differentially detect epithelial- and mesenchymal-expressed CTCs in bloods of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLS) patients is proposed. First, a commercial biomimetic polycarbonate (PCTE) microfiltration membrane is employed as the capture interface for heterogenous CTCs. Meanwhile, differential detection of the captured CTCs is realized by preparing two distinct CdTe quantum dots (QDs) with red and green emissions, attached with EpCAM and Vimentin aptamers, respectively. For combined analysis, a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) chip with simple structure is designed, which integrates the membrane capture and QDs-based phenotype detection of CTCs. This chip not only implements the analysis of the number of CTCs down to 2 cells mL-1, but enables EMT process tracking according to the specific signals of the two QDs. Finally, this method is successfully applied to inspect the correlations of numbers or proportions of heterogenous CTCs in 94 NSCLS patients with disease stage and whether there is distant metastasis.

Abstract
Hydrogel biosensors present numerous advantages in food safety analysis owing to their remarkable biocompatibility, cargo-loading capabilities and optical properties. However, the current drawbacks (slow target responsiveness and poor mechanical strength) restricted their further utilization at on-site detection of targets. To address these challenges, a DNA-functionalized cryogel with hierarchical pore structures is constructed to improve the reaction rate and the robustness of hydrogel biosensor. During cryogel preparation, ice crystals serve as templates, shaping interconnected hierarchical microporous structures to enhance mass transfer for faster responses. Meanwhile, in the non-freezing zone, concentrated monomers create a dense cross-linked network, strengthening cryogel matrix strength. Accordingly, a colorimetric biosensor based on DNA cryogel has been developed as a proof of concept for rapid detection of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in food samples, and an excellent analytical performance was obtained under the optimized conditions with a low detection limit (1 nM), broad detection range (5-100 nM), satisfactory accuracy and precision (recoveries, 81.2-112.6 %; CV, 2.75-5.53 %). Furthermore, by integrating with a smartphone sensing platform, a portable device was created for rapid on-site measurement of target within 45 min, which provided some insight for hydrogel biosensors design.

Abstract
Comprehending the charge transfer mechanism at the semiconductor interfaces is crucial for enhancing the electronic and optical performance of sensing devices. Yet, relying solely on single signal acquisition methods at the interface hinders a comprehensive understanding of the charge transfer under optical excitation. Herein, we present an integrated photoelectrochemical surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (PEC-SERS) platform based on quantum dots/metal-organic framework (CdTe/Yb-TCPP) nanocomposites for investigating the charge transfer mechanism under photoexcitation in multiple dimensions. This integrated platform allows simultaneous PEC and SERS measurements with a 532 nm laser. The obtained photocurrent and Raman spectra of the CdTe/Yb-TCPP nanocomposites are simultaneously influenced by variable bias voltages, and the correlation between them enables us to predict the charge transfer pathway. Moreover, we integrate gold nanorods (Au NRs) into the PEC-SERS system by using magnetic separation and DNA biometrics to construct a biosensor for patulin detection. This biosensor demonstrates the voltage-driven ON/OFF switching of PEC and SERS signals, a phenomenon attributed to the plasmon resonance effect of Au NRs at different voltages, thereby influencing charge transfer. The detection of patulin in apples verified the applicability of the biosensor. The study offers an efficient approach to understanding semiconductor-metal interfaces and presents a new avenue for designing high-performance biosensors.

Abstract
In this study, a porous coordination network zirconium-porphyrin-based nanoparticle with oxygen vacancies (OVs) was prepared using acetic acid and benzoic acid as modulators via a simple hydrothermal method. The presence of OVs was confirmed by various characterization methods and was found to enhance oxygen uptake and activation. This resulted in the generation of more reactive peroxyl radicals (•O2 -) and led to an improved oxidase (OXD) mimetic activity. Additionally, it promoted 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) oxidation, with a low Km value of 0.07 mM and a high Vmax of 1.47 × 10-7 M·s-1. As aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) inhibits the Pt@PCN-222-ABTS nanozyme system, a colorimetric probe for AFB1 detection was constructed. The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.074 µg·L-1. This research presents a novel approach for designing a nanozymatic-based colorimetric method to analyze trace AFB1 residues in food.

Zhang H, Mou J, Ding J, Qin W. Rapid antibiotic screening based on E. coli apoptosis using a potentiometric sensor array. Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1297:342378. [PMID: 38438244 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.342378] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2024] [Revised: 02/12/2024] [Accepted: 02/13/2024] [Indexed: 03/06/2024]
Abstract
Phenotypic antimicrobial susceptibility testing enables reliable antibiotic screening but requires multiple strategies to identify each phenotypic change induced by different bactericidal mechanisms. Bacteria apoptosis with typical phenotypic features has never been explored for antibiotic screening. Herein, we developed an antibiotic screening method based on the measurement of antibiotic-induced phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure of apoptotic bacteria. Phosphatidylserine externalization of E. coli that can be widely used as an apoptosis marker for antibiotics with different antibacterial mechanisms was explored. A positively charged PS-binding peptide was immobilized on magnetic beads (MBs) to recognize and capture apoptotic E. coli with PS externalization. Apoptotic E. coli binding led to the charge or charge density change of MBs-peptide, resulting in a potential change on a magneto-controlled polymeric membrane potentiometric sensor. Based on the detection of apoptotic E. coli killed by antibiotics, antibiotic screening for different classes of antibiotics and silver nanoparticles was achieved within 1.5 h using a potentiometric sensor array. This approach enables sensitive, general, and time-saving antibiotic screening, and may open up a new path for antibiotic susceptibility testing.

Dual modal improved enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for aflatoxin B1 detection inspired by the interaction of amines with Prussian blue nanoparticles. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 264:130479.

Abstract
This work reports an improved enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) via the interaction between prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNPs) and amines for aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) detection. The effect of different amines on the structure and properties of PBNPs was systematically investigated. Amines with pKb < 7, like ethylenediamine (EDA), can decompose structure of PBNPs, leading to the reduction of extinction coefficient and photothermal effect. Whereas, amines with large pKb > 7, such as o-phenylenediamine (OPD), could undergo catalytic oxidation by PBNPs, resulting in the production of fluorescent and colored oxidation products. Accordingly, EDA and OPD were used to construct improved ELISA. Specifically, silica nanoparticles, on which AFB1 aptamer and amino binding agent (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt, EDTA•2Na) were previously assembled via carboxyl-amino linkage, are anchored to microplates by AFB1 and antibody. EDA concentration can be regulated by EDTA•2Na to affect extinction coefficient and photothermal effect of PBNPs, thereby achieving visual colorimetric and portable photothermal signal readout (Model 1). OPD concentration can also be controlled by EDTA•2Na, thus generating colorimetric and ultrasensitive fluorescent signals through PBNPs catalysis (Model 2). The proposed strategy not only opens new avenue for signal readout mode of biosensing, but also provides universal technique for hazards.

Establishment of an indirect competitive immunoassay for the detection of dicamba based on a highly specific nanobody. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 917:170567.

Abstract
Dicamba, a traditional highly effective and low toxicity herbicide, has gained new life with the development of dicamba-tolerant transgenic crops in recent years. However, dicamba is highly volatile and therefore easy to cause drift damage to sensitive crops. The development of efficient and sensitive detection methods is essential for monitoring of trace dicamba in the environment. Nanobody-based immunoassay plays an important role in on-site detection of pesticides. However, now rapid and sensitive immunoassay methods based on nanobody for dicamba detection were lacking. In this study, the nanobodies specifically recognizing dicamba were successfully obtained by immunising camels and phage display library construction, and then an indirect competitive immunoassay based on Nb-242 was constructed with IC50 of 0.93 μg/mL and a linear range of 0.11-8.01 μg/mL. Nb-242 had good specificity with no cross-reactivities against the dicamba analogs other than 2,3,6-trichlorobenzoic acid and the developed immnoassay had a good correlation with the standard HPLC in the spike-recovery studies. Finally, the key amino acid Ala 123, Tyr 55, Tyr 59 and Arg 72 of Nb-242 that specifically recognizing and binding with dicamba were identified by homologous modeling and molecular docking, laying an important foundation for further structural modification of Nb-242. This study has important guiding significance for constructing immunoassay method of dicamba based on nanobody and provides a sensitive, specific, and reliable detection method that is suitable for the detection of dicamba in the environment.

Abstract
Due to the high toxicity of aflatoxin B1 and its risks to human health, we developed a click reaction-mediated automated fluorescent immunosensor (CAFI) for sensitive detection of aflatoxin B1 based on the Cu(I)-catalyzed click reaction. With its large specific surface area, a copper-based metal-organic framework (Cu-MOF) was synthesized to adsorb and enrich the copper ion (Cu(II)) and then load the complete antigen (BSA-AFB1). After the immunoreaction, Cu(II) inside the Cu-MOF-Antigen conjugate would be reduced to Cu(I) in the presence of sodium ascorbate, which triggered the click reaction between the fluorescent donor-modified DNA and the receptor-modified complementary DNA to lead to a fluorescence signal readout. The whole reaction steps were finished by the self-developed automated immunoreaction device. This CAFI method showed a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.48 pg/mL as well as a 670-fold enhancement in sensitivity compared to conventional ELISA, revealing its great potential in practical applications and automated detection.

Abstract
As nucleic acid-based affinity elements, aptamers have attracted significant attention for a wide range of analytical applications. Although several aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) aptamers have been identified, they are unsuitable for overcoming the unavoidable cross-reactions from interferents in complex food matrices due to their poor binding affinities and specificities. Herein, a novel precision-systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (P-SELEX) strategy through introducing the counter (matrix without target AFB1) and positive (with AFB1) screening steps was implemented to accurately identify AFB1 aptamers. A DNA aptamer A-42-2 at a 24-nt length was selected finally, which possessed nanomolar-level affinity of 5.55 nM, high specificity to other interferents, and strong anti-cross-reactivity ability for matrix components. Then, an A-42-2 aptamer-based ultra-sensitive colorimetric and fluorescent dual-readout aptasensor was fabricated for AFB1 detection in three kinds of complex food samples rich in starch without cross-reactions. The aptasensor displayed outstanding detection capacity with a wide liner range of 0.25-30 nM (1.95-234.4 μg/kg), while the detection limit for colorimetric measurement as low as 0.22 nM (1.72 μg/kg) and 0.048 nM (0.20 μg/kg) for fluorescent determination. P-SELEX is ideal for screening and applying aptamers in complex food matrices, creating more opportunities for the efficient and cost-effective development of high-quality aptamers and aptasensors for other targets.

Abstract
As one of the interesting signaling mechanisms, the in situ growth reaction on a photoelectrode has proven its powerful potential in photoelectrochemical (PEC) bioanalysis. However, the specific interaction between the signaling species with the photoactive materials limits the general application of the signal mechanism. Herein, on the basis of an in situ growth reaction on a photoelectrode of single-atom-based photoactive material, a general PEC immunoassay was developed in a split-type mode consisting of the immunoreaction and PEC detection procedure. Specifically, a single-atom photoactive material that incorporates Fe atoms into layered Bi4O5I2 (Bi4O5I2-Fe SAs) was used as a photoelectrode for PEC detection. The sandwich immunoreaction was performed in a well of a 96-well plate using Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) as signal tracers. In the PEC detection procedure, the Ag+ converted from Ag NPs were transferred onto the surface of the Bi4O5I2-Fe SAs photoelectrode and thereafter AgI was generated on the Bi4O5I2-Fe SAs in situ to form a heterojunction through the reaction of Ag+ with Bi4O5I2-Fe SAs. The formation of heterojunction greatly promoted the electro-hole separation, boosting the photocurrent response. Exemplified by myoglobin (Myo) as the analyte, the immunosensor achieved a wide linear range from 1.0 × 10-11 to 5.0 × 10-8 g mL-1 with a detection limit of 3.5 × 10-12 g mL-1. This strategy provides a general PEC immunoassay for disease-related proteins, as well as extends the application scope of in situ growth reaction in PEC analysis.

Abstract
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) contamination in food has attracted worldwide attention. The sensitive detection of AFB1 is vital for ensuring food quality and safety. This study developed an ultrasensitive signal-enhanced lateral flow immunosensor (LFIS) based on the functionalized zirconium metal-organic framework (MOF) of a UiO linker enriched with abundant aggregation-induced emission luminogen (UiOL@AIEgens) probes for the rapid dual-modal point-of-care (POC) determination of AFB1. Using UiO MOFs with numerous active sites as the carrier facilitated abundant AIEgens enrichment on the surface. After coupling with enough anti-AFB1 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), the green-emissive UiOL@AIEgens-mAbs probes with high specificity and remarkably-enhanced fluorescence responses were obtained to competitively capture target AFB1 in the standard or sample solution and AFB1 antigen immobilized on the test (T) line of the POC LFIS. Under optimum conditions, the LFIS was capable of visual qualitative and smartphone-assisted dual-modal determination of target AFB1 within 7 min. Detection occurred in a range of 0.01-5 ng/mL at an ultra-low detection limit of 0.003 ng/mL, which was 300- and 600-fold lower than traditional immunoassays and the maximum limit set by the European Union, respectively. Moreover, the feasibility and robustness of the LFIS platform were assessed by detecting AFB1 in maize and lotus seed samples with average recoveries of 94.3-109.0%. The developed UiOL@AIEgens-based POC LFIS can be used for ultrasensitive, reliable, on-site detection in food. This study provides a new method for the real-time monitoring of AFB1 and other harmful contaminants in food and more complex matrices.

Abstract
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is the most abundant and harmful toxin found in agriculture and processed food. The environment and human health are both harmed by this mycotoxin. As a result, in various scenarios, selective detection and biodegradation of ochratoxin A are essential. The current study reveals the morphogenesis of a peptidic-benzimidazolium dipodal receptor (SS4) and its application as a catalytic and sensing unit for the detection and degradation of OTA in an aqueous medium. Initially, a facile and scalable method was executed to synthesize SS4, and solvent-directed morphogenesis were examined under SEM analysis. Consequently, molecular recognition properties of self-assembled architectures were explored using UV-visible absorption, fluorescence spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The designed probe showed a ratiometric response for OTA and served as a catalytic unit for the degradation of OTA at a short interval of 25 min. The biodegradation pathway for OTA was accomplished using LC-MS analysis. Furthermore, the reliability of the developed method was checked by determining the spiked concentrations of the OTA in cereals and wine samples. The results obtained are in good agreement with the % recovery and RSD values. The present work provides a robust, selective, and sensitive method of detection and degradation for OTA.

Abstract
Over the last decade, paper-based biosensing has attracted considerable attention in numerous fields due to several advantages of them. To elaborate, using paper as a substrate of sensing approaches can be considered an affordable sensing approach owing to low cost of paper, and alongside that, the ability to operate without requiring external equipment. In many cases, cost-effective fabrication techniques such as screen printed and drop casting can be supposed as other benefits of these platforms. Despite the portability and affordability of paper-based assay, two important limitations including sensitivity and selectivity can decrease the application of these sensing approaches. Initially, decoration of paper substrate with nanomaterials (NMs) can improve the properties of paper due to high surface area and conductivity of them. Secondly, the presence of bioreceptors can provide a selective detection platform. Among different bioreceptors, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) can play a significant role. From this perspective, paper-based biosensors can be used for the detection of various gens which related to biomedical or food safety. In this review, we attempted to summarize recent trends and applications of paper-based genosensor, along with critical arguments in terms of NMs role in signal amplification. Furthermore, the lack of paper-based genosensors in field the of biomedical and food safety will be discussed in the following.

[PMID: 38174288 PMCID: PMC10762332 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra07082d] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
A paper-based ratiometric fluorescent sensing platform has been developed for glucose detection based on a dual-emission fluorescent probe consisting of carbon quantum dots (C QDs) and CdTe QDs. When the two kinds of QDs are mixed, the fluorescence of C QDs is reversibly quenched by CdTe QDs. However, in the presence of glucose, the fluorescence of CdTe QDs is quenched by H2O2 catalyzed by glucose oxidase (GOx), which restores the fluorescence of C QDs. The proposed paper-based ratiometric fluorescent sensing platform exhibited good sensitivity and selectivity towards glucose. The working linear range was 0.1 mM to 50 mM with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.026 mM. Additionally, the proposed paper-based sensor possesses viability for the determination of glucose in actual urine samples.

Abstract
Multiple pesticides are often used in combination to protect crops from pests. This makes rapid on-site detection of pesticide contamination challenging. Herein, we describe a method for simultaneous detection of diverse neonicotinoid pesticides using a sensor that combines neonicotinoid-specific odorant-binding protein 2 (OBP2), which was cloned from an insect chemical sensing protein and modified gold nanoparticles with local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR)-based digital nanoplasmonometry (DiNM). When neonicotinoid pesticides bind to OBP2 on gold nanoparticles, the induced LSPR shift peak wavelength is too small to be measured using conventional LSPR immunoassays. DiNM records and compares the scattered image intensity in two adjacent wavelength bands, A and B, centered on the LSPR peak. It considers both the peak shift and the relative intensity change in these two bands, resulting in a significant LSPR signal enhancement. Then the spectral-image contrast was computed as the signal response. Using this approach, we obtained excellent limits of detection (LODs) of 1.4, 1.5, and 4.5 ppb for the neonicotinoids imidacloprid, acetamiprid, and dinotefuran, respectively. Blind tests demonstrated high positive and negative rates for teas, approximately 85 and 100%, respectively. Recombinant OBP2 produced in E. coli offers several advantages over antibodies, including high yield, time savings, and cost effectiveness. Moreover, this method is highly selective and sensitive to neonicotinoids, making it practical for field use.

Abstract
Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites generated from toxigenic fungi in the contaminated food and agro-food, which have been regarded as a serious threat to the food safety and human health. Therefore, the control of mycotoxins and toxigenic fungi contamination is of great significance and has attracted the increasing attention of researchers. As we know, nano-semiconductors have many unique properties such as large surface area, structural stability, good biocompatibility, excellent photoelectrical properties, and low cost, which have been developed and applied in many research fields. Recently, nano-semiconductors have also been promisingly applied in mitigating or controlling mycotoxins and toxigenic fungi contaminations in food and agro-food. In this review, the type, occurrence, and toxicity of main mycotoxins in food and agro-food were introduced. Then, a variety of strategies to mitigate the mycotoxin contamination based on nano-semiconductors involving mycotoxins detection, inhibition of toxigenic fungi, and mycotoxins degradation were summarized. Finally, the outlook, opportunities, and challenges have prospected in the future for the mitigation of mycotoxins and toxigenic fungi based on nano-semiconductors.

Abstract
Shiga toxins (1, 2) regularly cause outbreaks and food recalls and pose a significant health risk to the infected population. Therefore, new reliable tools are needed to rapidly detect Shiga toxin cost-effectively in food, water, and wastewater before human consumption. Enzyme immunoassay and polymerase chain reaction approaches are the gold standard detection methods for the Shiga toxin. However, these methods require expensive instruments along with expensive reagents, which makes them hard to convert into point-of-use and low-cost systems. This study introduces an electrochemical biosensing method that utilizes silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as electrochemical tags and commercially available low-cost screen-printed carbon electrodes for detection. This study introduces the modification of reference electrodes on commercially available screen-printed carbon electrodes to detect AgNPs dissolved in nitric acid. This biosensor achieved a 2 ng/mL lowest measured concentration for Shiga toxin-1 in less than 3 h. These biosensor results also showed that the AgNP-based sensor has better linearity (for graph between peak current vs concentration) and lower standard deviation compared to gold nanoparticles (AuNP)-based electrochemical biosensors.

Abstract
Herein, a novel silver ion-loaded gold microemulsion assemblies (Au/Ag+ MAs) mediated multifunctional signal amplification strategy was proposed to construct a sensitive immobilization-free photoelectrochemical (PEC)/colorimetric biosensor for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) detection. Through the sandwiched reaction among CEA, the CEA aptamer (DNA1) loaded on the Au nanoparticles (NPs) functionalized iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanospheres and another CEA aptamer (DNA2) immobilized on Au/Ag+ MAs, a complex is formed and acquired by magnetic separation. Then, Au/Ag+ MAs of the complex are disassembled into Au NPs and Ag+ ions driven by an acetone response, and the obtained demulsification solution is transferred to the cadmium sulfide/cadmium telluride (CdS/CdTe) photoactive composites modified electrode. Based on the multiple inhibition functions (blocking effect of oleylamine; energy transfer effect of Au NPs; and electron snatching effect of Ag+), the photocurrent of the electrode decreases obviously, resulting in the ultrasensitive detection of CEA (a detection limit of 16 fg mL-1). Interestingly, the ion-exchange reactions between CdS/CdTe composites and Ag+ ions generate silver sulfide/silver telluride (Ag2S/Ag2Te) composites, and a color change of composites can be distinguished directly, leading to a quick visual detection of CEA. Compared with the traditional single-modal assay for CEA, such dual-modal PEC/colorimetric assay is a more accurate and reliable due to different mechanisms and independent signal conversion. This work will offer a new perspective for the applications of various self-assemblies in PEC bioanalysis.

Abstract
Traditional hybridization chain reaction (HCR) as a popular isothermal amplification technique shows some inevitable disadvantages in bioanalysis due to its relatively slow kinetics, which could be markedly promoted when the HCR initiator occurs under tension. Herein, a poly DNA tetrahedrons (pTDNs)-mediated HCR was successfully constructed to make its initiator in a stretched state by long-range electrostatic forces owing to the superimposed electrostatic interactions derived from the synthesized pTDNs, and it was hypothesized that it could remarkably enhance HCR performance, which was testified by theoretical simulations and experimental studies. Consequently, pTDNs-mediated HCR was applied to develop a novel immunoassay for rapid and sensitive detection of aflatoxin B1 as a proof-of-concept, and its signal amplification was attributed to the increased G4 DNAzyme that loaded on the second antibody. Our work paves a promising way using simple DNA frameworks alone to heighten HCR kinetics for reaction speed improvement and signal amplification in bioanalysis.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted fluorescent carbon dots (MI-FCDs) find numerous applications in analytical chemistry due to their outstanding photoluminescent properties and having specific pockets for the recognition of target molecules. Despite significant advances, practical applications of MI-FCDs-based fluorescent sensors are still in their initial stages. Therefore, the topical developments in the synthesis, working, and application of MI-FCDs for sensing various target species (e.g., pharmaceuticals, biomolecules, pesticides, food additives, and miscellaneous species) in food and biological media have been highlighted. Moreover, a careful evaluation has been made to select the best methods based on their performance in terms of analytical parameters. To expand the horizons of this field, important challenges and future directions for developing MI-FCDs for practical use are also presented. This review will highlight important aspects of MI-FCDs-based fluorescent sensors for their applicability in food science, material science, environmental science, nanoscience, and biotechnology.

Abstract
There is now increasing demand to improve the sensitivity of various immunoassays for fluoroquinolones (FQs) and other food hazards. In this study, different coating antigens were prepared by adjusting the content of 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) to explore its influence on the immunoassay sensitivity of FQs. The results indicated that, unlike traditional assumptions, a reasonable EDC dosage should be addressed to reach the best analytical efficiency, and excessive EDC could enhance the hapten-carrier conjugation but significantly reduce the detection sensitivity. For the FQs investigated, the hapten:EDC:BSA proportion of 20:2.5:50 (Mole ratio:74:34:1) seemed the best for preparation of coating antigens, and the sensitivity could be improved more than 1000 times both for indirect competitive enzyme linked immunosorbent assay ELISA (ic-ELISA) and gold immunochromatography assay (GICA) due to two key factors including coupling-ratios and amide bond groups. Such an improved efficiency was also validated well with different food samples, which indicated the reasonable optimization of EDC in coating antigen synthesis may be widely used as a new, simple and more effective strategy to improve the immunoassay for low molecular targets in medical, environment and food detection filed.

Abstract
Continuous monitoring of pathogens finds applications in environmental, medical, and food industry settings. Quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) is one of the promising methods for real-time detection of bacteria and viruses. QCM is a technology that utilizes piezoelectric principles to measure mass and is commonly used in detecting the mass of chemicals adhering to a surface. Due to its high sensitivity and rapid detection times, QCM biosensors have attracted considerable attention as a potential method for detecting infections early and tracking the course of diseases, making it a promising tool for global public health professionals in the fight against infectious diseases. This review first provides an overview of the QCM biosensing method, including its principle of operation, various recognition elements used in biosensor creation, and its limitations and then summarizes notable examples of QCM biosensors for pathogens, focusing on microfluidic magnetic separation techniques as a promising tool in the pretreatment of samples. The review explores the use of QCM sensors in detecting pathogens in various samples, such as food, wastewater, and biological samples. The review also discusses the use of magnetic nanoparticles for sample preparation in QCM biosensors and their integration into microfluidic devices for automated detection of pathogens and highlights the importance of accurate and sensitive detection methods for early diagnosis of infections and the need for point-of-care approaches to simplify and reduce the cost of operation.

Abstract
Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1), a secondary metabolite of Aspergillus spp., is highly toxic and widely present in food matrices. Therefore, the detection of AFM1 is of great importance for the protection of food safety. In this study, a five-segment sequence was designed as the initial library. Graphene oxide-SELEX (GO-SELEX) was applied to screen AFM1. After seven rounds of repeated screening, affinity and specificity assays showed that aptamer 9 was the best candidate for AFM1. The dissociation constant (Kd) of aptamer 9 was 109.10 ± 6.02 nM. To verify the efficiency and sensitivity aptamer for the detection of AFM1, a colorimetric sensor based on the aptamer was constructed. The biosensor showed good linearity in the range of AFM1 concentration of 0.5-500.0 ng/mL with a detection limit of 0.50 ng/mL. This colorimetric method was successfully used for the detection of AFM1 in milk powder samples. Its detection recovery was 92.8-105.2%. This study was conducted to provide a reference for the detection of AFM1 in food.

Abstract
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a common mycotoxin, and it is a significant threat to human health throughout the food chain. In this study, a sensitive and specific fluorescent sensor based on magnetic separation technology combined with chain displacement amplification was developed for fast and easy detection of OTA in food. The designed strand displacement amplification can improve the sensitivity for the detection, and the magnetic nanomaterials can provide a large surface area, thus enhancing the capture efficiency of the target from the sample. Based on those designs, the experimental results showed that the proposed method displayed excellent performance. The linearity range was 0.5-128.0 ng/mL. The detection limit was 0.125 ng/mL; the relative standard deviations were 3.92-7.71%. Additionally, the developed method was satisfactorily applied to determine OTA in wheat, corn, and red wine samples at three spiked levels (1.0, 8.0, and 64.0 ng/mL). The recoveries ranged from 85.45 to 107.8% for wheat flour, 101.34 to 108.35% for corn flour, and 91.15 to 93.80% for red wine, respectively. Compared with high-performance liquid chromatography, the proposed method showed a lower limit of detection and equal recovery. Hence, the designed method is a potential and good detecting tool for OTA residue analysis in complex matrix samples.

Abstract
Efficient and sensitive detection of targets is one of the motivations for constant development and innovation of various biosensors. CRISPR-Cas12a, a new generation of gene editing tools, has shown excellent application potential in biosensor design and construction. By combining with the specific recognition element-aptamer, a single-stranded oligonucleotide obtained by systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) in vitro screening, CRISPR-Cas12a also shows superior performance non-nucleic acid targets detection, such as small molecules, proteins, virus and pathogenic bacteria. However, aptamer and CRISPR-Cas12a (CRISPR-Cas12a/Apt) still face some problems in non-nucleic acid target detection, such as single signal response mode and narrow linear range. The development of diverse CRISPR-Cas12a/Apt biosensors is necessary to meet the needs of various detection environments. In this review, the working principle of CRISPR-Cas12a/Apt was introduced and recent progress in CRISPR-Cas12a/Apt in the application of non-nucleic acid target detection was summarized. Moreover, the requirements of critical parameters such as crRNA sequence, activator sequence, and reaction system in the design of CRISPR-Cas12a/Apt biosensors were discussed, which could provide the reference for the design of efficient and sensitive novel non-nucleic acid target biosensors. In addition, the challenges and prospects of CRISPR-Cas12a/Apt-based biosensor were further presented.

Abstract
Mycotoxins contaminated in agricultural products are often highly carcinogenic and genotoxic to humans. With the streamlining of the food industry chain and the improvement of food safety requirements, the traditional laboratory testing mode is constantly challenged due to the expensive equipment, complex operation steps, and lag in testing results. Therefore, rapid detection methods are urgently needed in the food safety system. This review focuses on the latest strategies that can achieve rapid and on-site testing, with particular attention to the nanomaterials integrated biosensors. To provide researchers with the latest trends and inspiration in the field of rapid detection, we summarize several strategies suitable for point of care testing (POCT) of mycotoxins, including enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA), lateral flow assay (LFA), fluorescence, electrochemistry, and colorimetry assay. POCT-based strategies are all developing towards intelligence and portability, especially when combined with smartphones, making it easier to read signals for intuitive access and analysis of test data. Detection performance of the devices has also improved considerably with the integration of biosensors and nanomaterials.

Abstract
Mycotoxin contamination in foods and other goods has become a broad issue owing to serious toxicity, tremendous threat to public safety, and terrible loss of resources. Herein, it is necessary to develop simple, sensitive, inexpensive, and rapid platforms for the detection of mycotoxins. Currently, the limitation of instrumental and chemical methods cannot be massively applied in practice. Immunoassays are considered one of the best candidates for toxin detection due to their simplicity, rapidness, and cost-effectiveness. Especially, the field of dual-mode immunosensors and corresponding assays is rapidly developing as an advanced and intersected technology. So, this review summarized the types and detection principles of single-mode immunosensors including optical and electrical immunosensors in recent years, then focused on developing dual-mode immunosensors including integrated immunosensors and combined immunosensors to detect mycotoxins, as well as the combination of dual-mode immunosensors with a portable device for point-of-care test. The remaining challenges were discussed with the aim of stimulating future development of dual-mode immunosensors to accelerate the transformation of scientific laboratory technologies into easy-to-operate and rapid detection platforms.

Abstract
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) contamination is an important issue for the safety of edible oils. Enzymatic degradation is a promising approach for removing mycotoxins in a specific, efficient, and green manner. However, enzymatic degradation of mycotoxins in edible oil is challenging as a result of the low activity and stability of the enzyme. Herein, a novel strategy was proposed to degrade AFB1 in peanut oil using an amphipathic laccase-inorganic hybrid nanoflower (Lac NF-P) as a biocatalyst. Owing to the improved microenvironment of the enzymatic reaction and the enhanced stability of the enzyme structure, the proposed amphipathic Lac NF-P showed 134- and 3.2-fold increases in the degradation efficiency of AFB1 in comparison to laccase and Lac NF, respectively. AFB1 was removed to less than 0.96 μg/kg within 3 h when using Lac NF-P as a catalyst in the peanut oil, with the AFB1 concentration ranging from 50 to 150 μg/kg. Moreover, the quality of the peanut oil had no obvious change, and no leakage of catalyst was observed after the treatment of Lac NF-P. In other words, our study may open an avenue for the development of a novel biocatalyst for the detoxification of mycotoxins in edible oils.

Abstract
A flexible photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor is proposed for the sensitive detection of ochratoxin A (OTA) based on glucose oxidase (GOx)-encapsulated target-responsive hydrogel, using Fenton reaction-mediated in situ formation of polyaniline (PANI) as signal amplified strategy. The target-responsive DNA hydrogels with high loading capacity can carry a large amount of GOx, which not only avoids laborious labeling process but also enhances the analytical performance. Upon introduction of target molecules, the hydrogel can be opened, and multiple GOx was released, thus producing lots of H2O2 via catalytic reduction of glucose. As a component of the Fenton reagent, H2O2 can react with the Fe2+ on the graphene oxidase-PAMAM-Fe2+ (GO-PAMAM-Fe2+) to generate Fe3+ and ·OH. This in turn can oxidize aniline and generate polyaniline (PANI), resulting in the enhancement of the photocurrent signal of GO-MoS2-CdS photoelectrode. The GO-PAMAM-Fe2+ as the neighborhood component of GO-MoS2-CdS-based photoactive material not only can increase the loading amount of Fe2+, but also can inhibit the decrease of photocurrent of GO-MoS2-CdS by direct modification of Fe2+ on the photoactive material. Moreover, the high loading capacity of DNA hydrogel can efficiently promote the performance of the PEC biosensor. The PEC biosensor exhibited satisfactory analytical performance for OTA with a linear range of 0.0001-0.1 ng/mL and a low detection limit of 0.05 pg/mL. It presents recommendable specificity, stability, and practical applications. Importantly, the PEC biosensor provides a new concept for construction of PEC biosensing platform.

Abstract
Herein, a chemiluminescence (CL) biosensor based on CRISPR-Cas12a and cation exchange reaction was constructed to detect the biomarker microRNA-21 (miRNA-21). The rolling circle amplification (RCA) reaction was introduced to convert each target RNA strand into a long single-stranded DNA with repeated sequences, which acted as triggers to initiate the transcleavage activity of CRISPR-Cas12a. The activated Cas12a could cleave the biotinylated linker DNA of CuS nanoparticles (NPs) to inhibit the binding of CuS NPs to streptavidin immobilized on the surface of the microplate, which strongly reduced the generation of Cu2+ from a cation exchange between CuS NPs and AgNO3, and thus efficiently suppressed the CL of Cu2+-luminol-H2O2 system, giving a "signal off" biosensor. With the multiple amplification, the detection limit of the developed sensor for miRNA-21 reached 16 aM. In addition, this biosensor is not only suitable for a professional chemiluminescence instrument but also for a smartphone used as a detection tool for the purpose of portable and low-cost assay. This method could be used to specifically detect quite a low level of miRNA-21 in human serum samples and various cancer cells, indicating its potential in ultrasensitive molecular diagnostics.

Abstract
Homogeneous immunoassays represent an attractive alternative to traditional heterogeneous assays due to their simplicity and high efficiency. Homogeneous electrochemical assays, however, are not commonly accessed due to the requirement of electrode immobilization of the recognition elements. Herein, we demonstrate a new homogeneous electrochemical immunoassay based on the aggregation-collision strategy for the quantification of tumor protein biomarker alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). The detection principle relies on the aggregation of AgNPs induced by the molecular biorecognition between AFP and AgNPs-anti-AFP probes, which leads to an increased AgNP size and decreased AgNP concentration, allowing an accurate self-validated dual-mode immunoassay by performing nanoimpact electrochemistry (NIE) of the oxidation of AgNPs. The intrinsic one-by-one analytical capability of NIE as well as the participation of all of the atoms of the AgNPs in signal transduction greatly elevates the detection sensitivity. Accordingly, the current sensor enables a limit of detection (LOD) of 5 pg/mL for AFP analysis with high specificity and efficiency. More importantly, reliable detection of AFP in diluted human sera of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients is successfully achieved, indicating that the NIE-based homogeneous immunoassay shows great potential in HCC liquid biopsy.

Abstract
Trace staphylococcal enterotoxin C (SEC) in food poses a serious risk to human health, and it is vital to develop a sensitive and accurate approach for SEC monitoring. Herein, a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) aptasensor was developed for the quantitative detection of SEC. SERS-active gold-silver Janus@gold nanoparticles (Au-Ag Janus@Au NPs) were prepared and showed tunable solid and hollow nanostructures by simply controlling the pH values of the reaction system. Solid Au-Ag Janus@Au NPs exhibited intrinsic and enhanced SERS activity due to the intense plasmonic coupling effect between Au dots and Au-Ag Janus NPs, which was 2.27-fold and 17.46-fold higher than that of Au-Ag Janus NPs and hollow Au-Ag Janus@Au NPs, respectively. The attachment of multiple Au dots also protected Ag islands from oxidization, which increased the stability of Au-Ag Janus@Au NPs. Solid Au-Ag Janus@Au NPs served as a label-free, strong, and stable SERS detection probe and achieved sensitive and reliable detection of SEC. The limit of detection was as low as 0.55 pg/mL. This study will expand the application prospects of label-free SERS detection probes in complex systems for food safety monitoring.

Abstract
Single miRNAs are not specific and accurate enough to meet the strict diagnosis requirements in practice. Therefore, simultaneous monitoring of multiplexed miRNA in biological samples can not only improve the accuracy and specificity of bioassays but also avoid the squandering of valuable biological specimens. Herein, we designed a metal sulfide nanoparticle-based dual barcode-triggered DNAzyme cascade strategy for the sensitive and simultaneous multiplex miRNA detection in a single assay. Firstly, the capture probes (H1, H2) specifically recognize targets (miRNA-21, miRNA-141), exposing the stem of H1 and H2. Then, with the introduction of a detection probe (CuS-H3, ZnS-H4), the exposed H1 and H2 catalyze the hairpin assembly (CHA) reaction, realizing target miRNA recycling, and forming H1/H3-CuS and H2/H4-ZnS complexes. Subsequently, the formed H1/H3-CuS and H2/H4-ZnS complexes are encoded on magnetic beads through the biotin/streptavidin interaction. The CuS and ZnS nanoparticles captured by magnetic beads release thousands of Cu2+ and Zn2+via the cation exchange reaction. Finally, the released Cu2+ and Zn2+ specially activate the DNAzyme of the catalytic and molecular beacon (CAMB) system. The CAMB system affords an amplified fluorescence signal output by cycling and regenerating the metal ion-dependent DNAzyme to realize multiple enzymatic turnovers. Benefiting from target recycling, nanoparticle amplification, and catalytic and molecular beacon amplification, there is substantial amplification and the target miRNAs can be detected at 0.06 fM (miRNA-21) and 0.048 fM (miRNA-141) in a single assay. Furthermore, the high selectivity and accuracy of the assay were proved by practical analysis of different cancer cells, which exhibited good practicability in multiplex miRNA detection in clinical sera. The results indicate that the proposed strategy holds great potential for the sensitive detection of multiplex cancer biomarkers and offers the opportunity for future applications in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are carbonaceous nanodots that are natural crystalline semiconductors and range from 1 to 20 nm. The broad range of applications for GQDs is based on their unique physical and chemical properties. Compared to inorganic quantum dots, GQDs possess numerous advantages, including formidable biocompatibility, low intrinsic toxicity, excellent dispensability, hydrophilicity, and surface grating, thus making them promising materials for nanophotonic applications. Owing to their unique photonic compliant properties, such as superb solubility, robust chemical inertness, large specific surface area, superabundant surface conjugation sites, superior photostability, resistance to photobleaching, and nonblinking, GQDs have emerged as a novel class of probes for the detection of biomolecules and study of their molecular interactions. Here, we present a brief overview of GQDs, their advantages over quantum dots (QDs), various synthesis procedures, and different surface conjugation chemistries for detecting cell-free circulating nucleic acids (CNAs). With the prominent rise of liquid biopsy-based approaches for real-time detection of CNAs, GQDs-based strategies might be a step toward early diagnosis, prognosis, treatment monitoring, and outcome prediction of various non-communicable diseases, including cancers.

Abstract
Mycotoxin is one of the most important natural pollutants, which poses a global threat to food safety. However, the pollution of mold in food production is inevitable. The detection technology of mycotoxins in food production is an important means to prevent the damage of mycotoxins, so rapid detection and screening to avoid pollution diffusion is essential. The focus of this review is to update the literature on the detection of mycotoxins by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technology, rather than just traditional chromatographic methods. As a relatively novel and simple analytical method, SPR has been proved to be fast, sensitive and label-free, and has been widely used in real-time qualitative and quantitative analysis of various pollutants. This paper aims to give a broad overview of the sensors for detection and analysis of several common mycotoxins.

Abstract
Designing a photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor with preponderant sensitivity and anti-interference is a challenge for detecting small molecules in real samples with complex matrices. To this end, the Bi2O3/CuBi2O4 was synthesized in one step to enhance visible light's absorption ability, transferring the interfacial carrier's efficiency, a high-active Z-scheme heterojunction, and a photocathode biosensor was proposed. For the first time, we used the density functional theory to verify a Z-scheme transfer pathway of photogenerated electrons in Bi2O3/CuBi2O4 and the energy band structure of Bi2O3 and CuBi2O4, respectively. Bi2O3/CuBi2O4-based PEC biosensor was developed for competive immunoassay of small molecular, aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) as an example, resulting in a low detection limit of 297.4 fg/mL and a linear range of 1.4 pg/mL-280 ng/mL in urine, water, peanut, and wheat samples. Using spiked experiments, the satisfied repeatability, reproducibility, stability, and specificity of the Bi2O3/CuBi2O4-based PEC biosensor indicated a promise for application in health care, the environment, and food.

Abstract
This study aimed to devise a nontoxic electrochemical immunosensor to quantitatively determine aflatoxin M1 by chronoamperometry with novel anti-idiotypic nanobody-functionalized screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs). Anti-idiotype nanobodies (AIdnb) were developed to replace the high toxic chemically synthesized antigen. AIdnb was immobilized on the surface of SPCE via covalent coupling as capture reagent. The functionalized SPCEs were followed by characterization using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy mapping, and atomic force microscopy. After optimizing experimental parameters, the assembled immunosensor exhibited a good linearity range of 0.25-5.0 ng/mL, with the limit of detection of 0.09 ng/mL. The immunosensor showed a satisfactory selectivity to AFM1, without interference from analogs, including zearalenone, ochratoxin, and fumonisin B1. For practical application, the developed immunosensor was validated using real spiked samples with the recovery range 82.0%-108.0% and relative standard deviation (RSD) 10.1%-13.0%, indicating that it could be used in milk samples.

Abstract
Fabricating novel biosensing constructs with high sensitivity and selectivity is highly demanded in food contaminants detection. In this prospect, various nanostructured materials were envisaged to build (bio)sensors with superior sensitivity and selectivity. The desirable biocompatibility, brilliant mechanical strength, ease of surface functionalization, as well as tunable optical and electronic features, portray 2D MXenes as versatile scaffolds for biosensing. In this review, we overviewed the state-of-the-art MXenes-based optical biosensing devices to detect mycotoxins, pesticide residues, antibiotic residues, and food borne-pathogens from foodstuff and environmental matrices. Firstly, the synthesis methods and surface functionalization/modification of MXenes are discussed. Secondly, according to the target analytes, we categorized and presented a detailed account of the newest research progress of MXenes-based optical probes for food contaminants monitoring. The efficiency of all the surveyed probes was assessed on the basis of important factors like response time, detection limit (DL), and sensing range. Lastly, the necessity and requirements for future advances in this emerging MXenes material are also given, followed by challenges and opportunities. We hope that this study will bridge the gap between nanotechnology and food science, offering insights for engineers or scientists in both areas to accelerate the progress of MXenes-based materials for food safety detection.
