Abstract
Microplastics, an invisible threat, are emerging as serious pollutants that continuously affect health by interrupting/contaminating the human cycle, mainly involving food, water, and air. Such serious scenarios raised the demand for developing efficient sensing systems to detect them at an early stage efficiently and selectively. In this direction, the proposed research reports an electrochemical hexamethylenetetramine (HMT) sensing utilizing a sensing platform fabricated using chitosan-magnesium oxide nanosheets (CHIT-MgO NS) nanocomposite. HMT is considered as a hazardous microplastic, which is used as an additive in plastic manufacturers and has been selected as a target analyte. To fabricate sensing electrodes, a facile co-precipitation technique was employed to synthesize MgO NS, which was further mixed with 1% CHIT solution to form a CHIT_MgO NS composite. Such prepared nanocomposite solution was then drop casted to an indium tin oxide (ITO) to fabricate CHIT_MgO NS/ITO sensing electrode to detect HMT electrochemically using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) techniques. To determine the limit of detection (LOD) and sensitivity, DPV was performed. The resulting calibrated curve for HMT, ranging from 0.5 μM to 4.0 μM, exhibited a sensitivity of 12.908 μA (μM)-1 cm-2 with a detection limit of 0.03 μM and a limit of quantitation (LOQ) of 0.10 μM. Further, the CHIT_MgO NS/ITO modified electrode was applied to analyze HMT in various real samples, including river water, drain water, packaged water, and tertiary processed food. The results demonstrated the method's high sensitivity and suggested its potential applications in the field of microplastic surveillance, with a focus on health management.

Electrochemical Detection of Cd 2+, Pb 2+, Cu 2+ and Hg 2+ with Sensors Based on Carbonaceous Nanomaterials and Fe 3O 4 Nanoparticles. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 14:702. [PMID: 38668196 PMCID: PMC11053428 DOI: 10.3390/nano14080702] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2024] [Revised: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 04/29/2024]
Abstract
Two electrochemical sensors were developed in this study, with their preparations using two nanomaterials with remarkable properties, namely, carbon nanofibers (CNF) modified with Fe3O4 nanoparticles and multilayer carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) modified with Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The modified screen-printed electrodes (SPE) were thus named SPE/Fe3O4-CNF and SPE/Fe3O4-MWCNT and were used for the simultaneous detection of heavy metals (Cd2+, Pb2+, Cu2+ and Hg2+). The sensors have been spectrometrically and electrochemically characterized. The limits of detection of the SPE/Fe3O4-CNF sensor were 0.0615 μM, 0.0154 μM, 0.0320 μM and 0.0148 μM for Cd2+, Pb2+, Cu2+ and Hg2+, respectively, and 0.2719 μM, 0.3187 μM, 1.0436 μM and 0.9076 μM in the case of the SPE/ Fe3O4-MWCNT sensor (following optimization of the working parameters). Due to the modifying material, the results showed superior performance for the SPE/Fe3O4-CNF sensor, with extended linearity ranges and detection limits in the nanomolar range, compared to those of the SPE/Fe3O4-MWCNT sensor. For the quantification of heavy metal ions Cd2+, Pb2+, Cu2+ and Hg2+ with the SPE/Fe3O4-CNF sensor from real samples, the standard addition method was used because the values obtained for the recovery tests were good. The analysis of surface water samples from the Danube River has shown that the obtained values are significantly lower than the maximum limits allowed according to the quality standards specified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and those of the World Health Organization (WHO). This research provides a complementary method based on electrochemical sensors for in situ monitoring of surface water quality, representing a useful tool in environmental studies.

Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:4419. [PMID: 38674004 PMCID: PMC11049897 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25084419] [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: 03/06/2024] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/15/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Phenolic compounds, originating from industrial, agricultural, and urban sources, can leach into flowing waters, adversely affecting aquatic life, biodiversity, and compromising the quality of drinking water, posing potential health hazards to humans. Thus, monitoring and mitigating the presence of phenolic compounds in flowing waters are essential for preserving ecosystem integrity and safeguarding public health. This study explores the development and performance of an innovative sensor based on screen-printed electrode (SPE) modified with graphene (GPH), poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT), and tyrosinase (Ty), designed for water analysis, focusing on the manufacturing process and the obtained electroanalytical results. The proposed biosensor (SPE/GPH/PEDOT/Ty) was designed to achieve a high level of precision and sensitivity, as well as to allow efficient analytical recoveries. Special attention was given to the manufacturing process and optimization of the modifying elements' composition. This study highlights the potential of the biosensor as an efficient and reliable solution for water analysis. Modification with graphene, the synthesis and electropolymerization deposition of the PEDOT polymer, and tyrosinase immobilization contributed to obtaining a high-performance and robust biosensor, presenting promising perspectives in monitoring the quality of the aquatic environment. Regarding the electroanalytical experimental results, the detection limits (LODs) obtained with this biosensor are extremely low for all phenolic compounds (8.63 × 10-10 M for catechol, 7.72 × 10-10 M for 3-methoxycatechol, and 9.56 × 10-10 M for 4-methylcatechol), emphasizing its ability to accurately measure even subtle variations in the trace compound parameters. The enhanced sensitivity of the biosensor facilitates detection and quantification in river water samples. Analytical recovery is also an essential aspect, and the biosensor presents consistent and reproducible results. This feature significantly improves the reliability and usefulness of the biosensor in practical applications, making it suitable for monitoring industrial or river water.

Abstract
Hydrazine (N2H4), a chemical compound widely used in various industrial applications, causes significant environmental and biological hazards. Therefore, it is crucial to develop methodologies for the visualization and real time tracking of N2H4. In this regard, we have constructed a novel near-infrared fluorescent probe (HBT-Cy) that can effectively detect N2H4 in various samples. HBT-Cy contains 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole (HBT), cinnamoyl (Cy), and pyridinium (Py) moieties. Importantly, HBT-Cy exhibits a rapid, selective, and highly sensitive response to N2H4. This response results in the release of HBT-Py and the generation of considerable colorimetric changes along with a significant NIR (near infrared) fluorescence signal, peaking at 685 nm. Advantages of this system include turn on NIR fluorescence with large Stokes shift, (approximately 171 nm), low limit of detection (LOD = 0.11 μM) and quantum yield (0.211). The probe with low cytotoxic behavior demonstrates strong NIR fluorescence imaging capabilities to visualize endogenous and exogenous N2H4 in live cells. This mitochondria-targetable probe shows effective subcellular localization. These results suggest that HBT-Cy is a valuable probe for tracking and investigating the behavior of N2H4 in biological systems and environmental samples.

Abstract
A new electrochemical biosensor based on the sequence of chromosome Y (SRY) has been introduced to determine the gender of the fetus. At first, the DNA probe was designed based on the SRY gene sequence on chromosome Y. Then, a suitable functional group was added to the DNA probe, and it has been immobilized on the surface of the electrode modified with a nanocomposite containing Cu(OH)2 @N-C n-boxes. This substrate causes more DNA probes to connect to the electrode surface by increasing the effective surface area. The presence of the SRY sequence in the DNA sample extracted from blood was detected by the electrochemical signal of the bio-sensor. After optimizing the parameters, the fabricated genosensor showed linear responses in the two concentration ranges containing 0.5 fM to 50 pM and 50 pM to 500 nM. The limit of detection (LOD) for the proposed method was 0.16 fM. The proposed genosensor has been successfully used to determine the gender of the fetus using cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) in the blood plasma of several pregnant mothers. This method has advantages such as being simple, portable, accurate, and non-invasive for early determination of the gender of the fetus and early diagnosis of X-linked genetic disorders.

Abstract
We present a thermally stable, mechanically compliant, and sensitive polymer-based NO2 gas sensor design. Interconnected nanoscale morphology driven from spinodal decomposition between conjugated polymers tethered with polar side chains and thermally stable matrix polymers offers judicious design of NO2-sensitive and thermally tolerant thin films. The resulting chemiresitive sensors exhibit stable NO2 sensing even at 170 °C over 6 h. Controlling the density of polar side chains along conjugated polymer backbone enables optimal design for coupling high NO2 sensitivity, selectivity, and thermal stability of polymer sensors. Lastly, thermally stable films are used to implement chemiresistive sensors onto flexible and heat-resistant substrates and demonstrate a reliable gas sensing response even after 500 bending cycles at 170 °C. Such unprecedented sensor performance as well as environmental stability are promising for real-time monitoring of gas emission from vehicles and industrial chemical processes.

Abstract
Rapid quantification of plasma ferritin levels holds utmost importance for the effective management of different chronic illnesses. We report the development of a novel biosensor for quantitative and selective detection of ferritin from a drop of blood plasma. Developed electrochemical biosensing platform contains a semiconductor nano-structured decorated screen-printed electrode (SND-SPE). The hydrothermally synthesized ZnO-Mn3O4 nanocomposite which has been coated on the electrode surfaces, imparts the specificity in ferritin diagnostics. Cyclic voltametric (CV) measurements with blood plasma shows a prominent reduction peak of ∼ - 0.76 V for specific ferritin reduction. The amperometric sensor shows a known concentration of 0.3 µg/dl ferritin-containing plasma generates 15 µA of current for single-time use. The efficacy of the device is evaluated by detecting ferritin in human plasma samples. The limit of detection and response time of the developed sensor are 0.04 µg/dl and 0.1 s respectively. The layer of ZnO-Mn3O4 nanocomposite has played as an excellent catalyst during the specific reduction of Fe3+ ion and the merits of the device in terms of high robustness, ultrafast detection, highly stable, low-cost, and a biodegradable sensor, make it attractive for the deployment in point-of-care settings.

Abstract
As an emerging porous crystalline organic material, the covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are given more and more attention in many fields, such as gas storage and separation, catalysis, energy storage and conversion, luminescent devices, drug delivery, pollutant adsorption and removal, analysis and detection due to their special advantages of high crystallinity, flexible designability, controllable porosities and topologies, intrinsic chemical and thermal stability. In recent years, the COFs are applied in analytical chemistry, for instance, chromatography, solid-phase microextraction, luminescent and colorimetric sensing, surface-enhanced Raman scattering and electroanalytical chemistry. The COFs decorated electrodes show high performance for detecting trace substances with remarkable selectivity and sensitivity, such as heavy metal ions, glucose, hydrogen peroxide, drugs, antibiotics, explosives, phenolic compounds, pesticides, disease metabolites and so on. This review mainly summarized the application of COF based electrochemical sensor according to different target analytes.

Abstract
With rapidly increasing environmental pollution, there is an urgent need for the development of fast, low-cost, and effective sensing devices for the detection of various organic and inorganic substances. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are well known for their superior optoelectronic and physicochemical properties, and have, therefore, attracted a great deal of interest in the sensor arena. The introduction of AgNPs onto the surface of two-dimensional (2D) structures, incorporation into conductive polymers, or within three-dimensional (3D) nanohybrid architectures is a common strategy to fabricate novel platforms with improved chemical and physical properties for analyte sensing. In the first section of this review, the main wet chemical reduction approaches for the successful synthesis of functional AgNPs for electrochemical sensing applications are discussed. Then, a brief section on the sensing principles of voltammetric and amperometric sensors is given. The current utilization of silver nanoparticles and silver-based composite nanomaterials for the fabrication of voltammetric and amperometric sensors as novel platforms for the detection of environmental pollutants in water matrices is summarized. Finally, the current challenges and future directions for the nanosilver-based electrochemical sensing of environmental pollutants are outlined.

Abstract
The exploration of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), a two-dimensional (2D) metal-free polymer semiconducting material, is largely discussed due to its large specific surface area, high electrical conductivity, thermal stability, and adaptable electronic structure. The adaption of sulfur (S) and phosphorous (P) atoms into the layers of g-C3N4 increases the electrochemical performance of detecting nilutamide (NT). The aggregation severity can be decreased by integrating S/P into g-C3N4, thereby improving surface area and electrical conductance. The g-C3N4, S/gC3N4, P/g-C3N4, and S/P/g-C3N4 were studied with X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Ultraviolet visible spectroscopy (UV), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). The well-assigned S/P/g-C3N4 exhibited a good crystalline structure with more active sites for improved electron transfer toward NT detection. Both differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and amperometry (IT) was studied for NT detection. The electrochemical studies were done with a linear range of 0.019-1.17 μM to 5.36-1891.98 μM in DPV and 0.01 μM-158.3 μM in IT technique. The attained limit of detection in DPV analysis was 3.2 nM and with IT analysis 2.4 nM. The nanocomposite S/P/g-C3N4 shows good selectivity towards NT. The fabricated electrode showed excellent repeatability, reproducibility, and stability, with a significant recovery range in real sample analysis.

Abstract
Chronic pain is now included in the designation of chronic diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, which can impair quality of life and are major causes of death and disability worldwide. Pain can be treated using cannabinoids such as Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) due to their wide range of therapeutic benefits, particularly as sedatives, analgesics, neuroprotective agents, or anti-cancer medicines. While little is known about the pharmacokinetics of these compounds, there is increasing interest in the scientific understanding of the benefits and clinical applications of cannabinoids. In this review, we study the use of nanomaterial-based electrochemical sensing for detecting Δ9-THC and CBD. We investigate how nanomaterials can be functionalized to obtain highly sensitive and selective electrochemical sensors for detecting Δ9-THC and CBD. Additionally, we discuss the impacts of sensor pretreatment at fixed potentials and physiochemical parameters of the sensing medium, such as pH, on the electrochemical performance of Δ9-THC and CBD sensors. We believe this review will serve as a guideline for developing Δ9-THC and CBD electrochemical sensors for point-of-care applications.

Abstract
A novel facile, quick, and temperature-controlled sensor was constructed based on a polystyrene-poly-N,N-diethyl acrylamide-polystyrene (PS-PDEAM)/carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) composite modified glass carbon electrode. The sensor achieves acetaminophen (AP) reversibility through better temperature sensitivity. PS-PDEAM shrinks when the temperature exceeds its lower critical temperature (LCST). When AP molecules pass through the modified interface, the electron transfer rate is accelerated, and the sensor is turned on. In the off state, the electrochemical response of AP cannot be detected. Under ideal experimental conditions, for composite modified films, there is a wide detection range of AP between 1.5-85.1 μM and 85.1-235.1 μM, and the limit of detection of acetaminophen is as low as 0.57 μM (S/N = 3). This method has been successfully applied to the determination of AP in tablets, and shows high stability, good reproducibility and excellent anti-interference ability. The on-off sensor opens up a wide range of possibilities for the use of temperature-sensitive polymers in electro-catalysis, sensors, and environmental pollutant monitoring.

Abstract
Rising rates of drug abuse and pharmaceutical pollution throughout the world as a consequence of increased drug production and utilization pose a serious risk to public health and to environmental integrity. It is thus critical that reliable analytical approaches to detecting drugs and their metabolites in a range of sample matrices be developed. Recent advances in the design of nanomaterial-based electrochemical sensors and biosensors have enabled promising new approaches to pharmaceutical analysis. In particular, the development of a range of novel metal nanocomposites with enhanced catalytic properties has provided a wealth of opportunities for the design of rapid and reliable platforms for the detection of specific pharmaceutical compounds. The present review provides a comprehensive overview of representative metal nanocomposites with synergistic properties and their recent (2017-2022) application in the context of electrochemical sensing as a means of detecting specific antibiotic, tuberculostatic, analgesic, antineoplastic, antipsychotic, and antihypertensive drugs. In discussing these applications, we further explore a variety of testing-related principles, fabrication approaches, characterization techniques, and parameters associated with the sensitivity and selectivity of these sensor platforms before surveying the future outlook regarding the fabrication of next-generation (bio)sensor platforms for use in pharmaceutical analysis.

Abstract
Polymers incorporating quantum dots (QDs) have attracted interest as components of next-generation consumer products, but there is uncertainty about how these potentially hazardous materials may impact human health and the environment. We investigated how the transport (migration) of QDs out of polymers and into the environment is linked to their size and surface characteristics. Cadmium selenide (CdSe) QDs with diameters ranging from 2.15 to 4.63 nm were incorporated into low-density polyethylene (LDPE). Photoluminescence was used as an indicator of QD surface defect density. Normalized migration of QDs into 3% acetic acid over 15 days ranged from 13.1 ± 0.6-452.5 ± 31.9 ng per cm2 of polymer surface area. Migrated QD mass was negatively correlated to QD diameter and was also higher when QDs had photoluminescence consistent with larger surface defect densities. The results imply that migration is driven by oxidative degradation of QDs originating at surface defect sites and transport of oxidation products along concentration gradients. A semi-empirical framework was developed to model the migration data. The model supports this mechanism and suggests that QD surface reactivity also drives the relationship between QD size and migration, with specific surface area playing a less important role.

Abstract
Foodborne-related infections due to additives and pollutants pose a considerable task for food processing enterprises. Therefore, the competent, cost-effective, and quick investigation of nutrition additives and contaminants is essential to reduce the threat of public fitness problems. The electrochemical sensor (ECS) shows facile and potent analytical approaches desirable for food protection and quality inspection over traditional methods. The consequence of a broad display of nanomaterials has paved the path for their relevance in designing high-performance ECSs appliances for medical diagnostics and conditions and food protection. This review article has discussed the importance of electrochemical-based sensors amplified with carbon-based nanomaterials (CNMs). Initially, we have demonstrated the types of pharmaceutical and food/agriculture pollutants (such as pesticides, heavy metals, antibiotics and other medical drugs) present in water. Subsequently, we have compiled the information on electrochemical techniques (such as voltammetric and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy) and their crucial parameters for detecting pollutants. Further, the applications of CNMs for sensing pharmaceutical and food pollutants have been demonstrated in detail. Finally, the topic has been concluded with existing challenges and future prospects.

Abstract
A large fraction of population is suffering from waterborne diseases due to the contaminated drinking water. Both anthropogenic and natural sources are responsible for water contamination. Revolution in industrial and agriculture sectors along with a huge increase in human population has brought more amount of wastes like heavy metals, pesticides and antibiotics. These toxins are very harmful for human health, therefore, it is necessary to sense their presence in environment. Conventional strategies face various problems in detection and quantification of these pollutants such as expensive equipment and requirement of high maintenance with limited portability. Recently, nanostructured devices have been developed to detect environmental pollutants. Polymeric nanocomposites have been found robust, cost effective, highly efficient and accurate for sensing various environmental pollutants and this is due to their porous framework, multi-functionalities, redox properties, great conductivity, catalytic features, facile operation at room temperature and large surface area. Synergistic effects between polymeric matrix and nanomaterials are responsible for improved sensing features and environmental adaptability. This review focuses on the recent advancement in polymeric nanocomposites for sensing heavy metals, pesticides and antibiotics. The advantages, disadvantages, operating conditions and future perspectives of polymeric nanocomposites for sensing toxic pollutants have also been discussed.

Abstract
Environmental safety has become a significant issue for the safety of living species, humans, and the ecosystem as a consequence of the harmful and detrimental consequences of various pollutants such as pesticides, heavy metals, dyes, etc., emitted into the surroundings. To resolve this issue, various efforts, legal acts, scientific and technological perspectives have been embraced, but still remain a global concern. Furthermore, due to non-portability, complex detection, and inappropriate on-site recognition of sophisticated laboratory tools, the real-time analysis of these environmental contaminants has been limited. As a result of innovative nano bioconjugation and nanofabrication techniques, nanotechnology enables enhanced nanomaterials (NMs) based (bio)sensors demonstrating ultra-sensitivity and a short detection time in real-time analysis, as well as superior sensitivity, reliability, and selectivity have been developed. Several researchers have demonstrated the potent detection of pollutants such as Hg2+ ion by the usage of AgNP-MD in electronic and optoelectronic methods with a detection limit of 5-45 μM which is quite significant. Taking into consideration of such tremendous research, herein, the authors have highlighted 21st-century strategies towards NMs based biosensor technology for pollutants detection, including nano biosensors, enzyme-based biosensors, electrochemical-based biosensors, carbon-based biosensors and optical biosensors for on-site identification and detection of target analytes. This article will provide a brief overview of the significance of utilizing NMs-based biosensors for the detection of a diverse array of hazardous pollutants, and a thorough understanding of the detection processes of NMs-based biosensors, as well as the limit of quantification (LOQ) and limit of detection (LOD) values, rendering researchers to focus on the world's need for a sustainable earth.

Abstract
Phenolic compounds would be the emerging pollutant by 2050, because of their wide spread applicability in daily life and therefore the adoption of suitable detection methods in which identification and separation of isomers is highly desirable. Owing to the fascinating features, Metal-organic framework (MOF), a class of reticular materials holds a large surface area with tunable shape and adjustable porosity will provide strong interaction with analytes through abundant functional groups resulting in high selectivity towards electrochemical determination of phenolic isomers. Nevertheless, the sensing performance can still be further improved by building MOF network (intrinsic resistance) with functional (conducting) materials, resulting in MOF based nanocomposite. Herein, this review provides the summary of MOF based nanocomposites for electrochemical sensing of phenolic compounds developed from 2015. In this review, we discussed the demerits of pristine MOF as electrode materials, and the requirement of new class of MOF with functional materials such as nanomaterials, carbon nanotubes, graphene and MXene. The history and evolution of MOF nanocomposite-based materials are discussed and also featured the impressive physical and chemical properties. Besides this review discusses the factors influencing the conducting pathway and mass transport of MOF based nanocomposite for enhanced sensing performance of phenolic compounds with suitable mechanistic illustrations. Finally, the major challenges governing the determination of phenolic compounds and the future advancements required for the development of MOF based electrodes for various applications are highlighted.

Abstract
The evolution of biosensors and diagnostic devices has been thriving in its ability to provide reliable tools with simplified operation steps. These evolutions have paved the way for further advances in sensing materials, strategies, and device structures. Polymeric composite materials can be formed into nanostructures and networks of different types, including hydrogels, vesicles, dendrimers, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP), etc. Due to their biocompatibility, flexibility, and low prices, they are promising tools for future lab-on-chip devices as both manufacturing materials and immobilization surfaces. Polymers can also allow the construction of scaffold materials and 3D structures that further elevate the sensing capabilities of traditional 2D biosensors. This review discusses the latest developments in nano-scaled materials and synthesis techniques for polymer structures and their integration into sensing applications by highlighting their various structural advantages in producing highly sensitive tools that rival bench-top instruments. The developments in material design open a new door for decentralized medicine and public protection that allows effective onsite and point-of-care diagnostics.

Abstract
Flexible and mechanically robust gas sensors are the key technologies for wearable and implantable electronics. Herein, the authors demonstrate the high-performance, flexible nitrogen dioxide (NO2 ) chemiresistors using a series of n-type conjugated polymers (CPs: PNDIT2/IM-x) and a polymer dopant (poly(ethyleneimine), PEI). Imine double bonds (C = N) are incorporated into the backbones of the CPs with different imine contents (x) to facilitate strong and selective interactions with NO2 . The PEI provides doping stability, enhanced electrical conductivity, and flexibility. As a result, the NO2 sensors with PNDIT2/IM-0.1 and PEI (1:1 by weight ratio) exhibit outstanding sensing performances, such as excellent sensitivity (ΔR/Rb = 240% @ 1 ppm), ultralow detection limit (0.1 ppm), high selectivity (ΔR/Rb < 8% @ 1 ppm of interfering analytes), and high stability, thereby outperforming other state-of-the-art CP-based chemiresistors. Furthermore, the thin film of PNDIT2/IM-0.1 and PEI blend is stretchable and mechanically robust, providing excellent flexibility to the NO2 sensors. Our study contributes to the rational design of high-performance flexible gas sensors.

Abstract
The detection of organophosphates, a wide class of pesticides, in water-solution has a huge impact in environmental monitoring. Acoustic transducers are used to design passive wireless sensors for the direct detection of pesticides in water-solution by using tailored polymers as sensitive layers. We demonstrate by combining analytical chemistry tools that organophosphate molecules strongly alter polymer layers widely used in acoustic sensors in the presence of water. This chemical degradation can limit the use of these polymers in detection of organophosphates in water-solution.

Abstract
The efficient and selective detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) provides key information for various purposes ranging from the toxicological analysis of indoor/outdoor environments to the diagnosis of diseases or to the investigation of biological processes. In the last decade, different sensors and biosensors providing reliable, rapid, and economic responses in the detection of VOCs have been successfully conceived and applied in numerous practical cases; however, the global necessity of a sustainable development, has driven the design of devices for the detection of VOCs to greener methods. In this review, the most recent and innovative VOC sensors and biosensors with sustainable features are presented. The sensors are grouped into three of the main industrial sectors of daily life, including environmental analysis, highly important for toxicity issues, food packaging tools, especially aimed at avoiding the spoilage of meat and fish, and the diagnosis of diseases, crucial for the early detection of relevant pathological conditions such as cancer and diabetes. The research outcomes presented in the review underly the necessity of preparing sensors with higher efficiency, lower detection limits, improved selectivity, and enhanced sustainable characteristics to fully address the sustainable manufacturing of VOC sensors and biosensors.

Abstract
The continuously rising interest in chemical sensors’ applications in environmental monitoring, for soil analysis in particular, is owed to the sufficient sensitivity and selectivity of these analytical devices, their low costs, their simple measurement setups, and the possibility to perform online and in-field analyses with them. In this review the recent advances in chemical sensors for soil analysis are summarized. The working principles of chemical sensors involved in soil analysis; their benefits and drawbacks; and select applications of both the single selective sensors and multisensor systems for assessments of main plant nutrition components, pollutants, and other important soil parameters (pH, moisture content, salinity, exhaled gases, etc.) of the past two decades with a focus on the last 5 years (from 2017 to 2021) are overviewed.

Abstract
Artificially mimicking structures/morphologies available in the nature to develop multifunctional materials for catalysis is receiving greater attention. Particularly, the burdock flower morphology, which has a hollow-globe surrounded by spiky sheets, represents a multifunctional structure helpful in adsorption as well as intercalation of molecules. Given this, we have strategically developed a robust microwave (MW) bubble-template process to achieve highly uniform α-Fe2O3 and carbon-enriched Fe3O4 (Fe3O4@C) phases resembling the characteristics of spiky hollow burdock morphologies. The utilization of the MW bubble-templates as a pretreatment to the iron-based precursor solution helps in producing hollowed open-space ferrous glycolate burdock flower morphology with rapid production rate and without any addition of extra agents. Such burdock flower structures remain intact even after annealing in air/N2 ambiance providing highly photoactive α-Fe2O3 or magnetic Fe3O4@C, respectively. Utilizing the hollow burdock flower structures together with the individual photo/magnetic properties of iron oxide phases, a dual-layer filter was designed to remove hazardous dye molecules from water, which efficiently photodegraded (99.2 %) in natural sunlight as well as showed excellent adsorption (99.7 %) within minutes. Comparatively, a lower catalytic activity using simple iron oxide nanoparticles, closed, and faded burdock morphologies were seen. Hence, the high catalytic activity in removing the dye molecules, retention of structural phases after repeated use, and strong durability were a result of the synergetic effect of photo/magnetic properties, activated surface/spiky open burdock structure.

Abstract
In this study, cobalt nanoparticles (CoNPs) were synthesized and cobalt nanoparticles modified glassy carbon electrode (CoNPs/GCE) was prepared by drop coating the nanoparticles on glassy carbon electrode. After preparing polypyrrole modified glassy carbon electrode (PPy/GCE) using electropolymerization of pyrrole in LiClO4 solution, cobalt nanoparticles-polypyrrole composite modified glassy carbon electrode (CoNPs/PPy/GCE) was fabricated by drop coating the CoNPs on the PPy/GCE. Different characterization techniques such as scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry were used to study the morphological structure and electrochemical behavior of the sensors. The results demonstrated that PPy chains interacted with CoNPs through donor-acceptor bonds. Among all the electrodes, CoNPs/PPy/GCE exhibited highest electroactive surface area and lowest electron transfer resistance towards phoxim. Under the optimal conditions, the sensor showed linear relationship between the reduction peak current and the concentration of phoxim in the range of 0.025 μM-12 μM with the detection limit as 4.5 nM. Besides, the composite electrode demonstrated excellent reproducibility, good stability and selectivity towards the possible interfering substances. All of these properties made CoNPs/PPy/GCE a suitable electrochemical sensor for the electrochemical determination of phoxim in water samples using square wave voltammetry.
