Abstract
MXenes belong to one of the recently developed advanced materials with tremendous potential for diverse sensing applications. To date, various types of MXene-based materials have been developed to generate direct/indirect ultrasensitive sensing signals against various forms of analytes via fluorescence quenching or enhancement. In this work, the fluorescence sensing/biosensing capabilities of the MXene-based materials have been explored and evaluated against a list of ionic/emerging pollutants in environment and food matrices. The suitability of an MXene-based sensing approach is also validated through the assessment of the performance based on the basic quality assurance parameters, e.g., limit of detection (LOD), sensing range, and response time. Accordingly, the best performing MXene-based materials are selected and recommended for the given target(s) to help facilitate their scalable applications under real-world conditions.

Abstract
Recently, the exposure of pesticides/herbicides to the living organisms is increased especially due to agricultural malpractices and industrial processes. In particular, the exposure of pesticides/herbicides (e.g., atrazine) can impart several harsh effects on the human health. The development of efficient detection systems can be crucial in monitoring the atrazine in water and food/plant products, which can be decisive in controlling the deadly exposures of atrazine. Herein, we have developed electrochemical immunosensors for atrazine by employing monoclonal anti-atrazine antibody conjugated gold nanoparticles. Two types of gold nanoparticles (i.e., citrate and glutathione (GSH)-capped AuNPs) were used to modify gold working electrode and utilized for the development of atrazine immunosensors. The conjugation of immunoprobe on working electrode was especially designed to obtain stable and efficient sensing signals. The nanosensing immunoprobes fabricated using citrate-AuNPs and GSH-AuNPs exhibited comparable responses for a wide linear working range of 50 ng/L- 30 μg/L with limit of detection (LOD) values of 0.08 and 0.06 ng/L for atrazine, respectively.

Abstract
The capture and elimination of anions and cations from water have attracted a great deal of attention and are quite vital for clean production and environmental remediation. In this work, we present the synthesis of four porphyrin (Por)-based conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs, namely, Por-CMP-1-4), which were produced through a Sonogashira-Hagihara linked response using porphyrin and acetylene aromatic compounds as building blocks and used as absorbents to eliminate metal ions from water. The as-synthesized Por-CMP-1-4 exhibit an amorphous porous structure and outstanding caloric and physicochemical properties. Taking advantage of their larger specific surface areas, i.e., 541.47, 614.58, 382.38, and 677.90 m2 g-1 for Por-CMP-1-4, respectively, and their chelating active site that originated from the porphyrin ring, Por-CMP-1-4 show better Zn2+, Cu2+, and Pb2+ adsorption ability. Among them, Por-CMP-3 has the greatest adsorbability of 640 mg g-1 for Zn2+, with an adsorption efficiency of 80%, whereas its adsorption capacities for Cu2+ and Pb2+ ions were both 334 mg g-1, with an adsorption efficiency of 42% for Cu2+ and Pb2+. Employing Por-CMP-3 as a representative example, its adsorption kinetics has been systematically investigated. The adsorption behavior of Por-CMP-3 with respect to the Zn2+ ion is shown to exhibit pseudo-first-order kinetics and Langmuir isotherm modes. Meanwhile, the adsorption mechanism is discussed in detail, and it was thought it might be chelation, in which the nitrogen atoms with a single pair of electrons on the porphyrin ring interacted with metal ions to form stable chelation coordination bonds, thus removing metal ions selectively and effectively. Furthermore, Por-CMP-3 exhibited good reusability, retaining 60% of its Zn2+ removal rate after four continuous adsorptions.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) provides an ultrasensitive, fast, and inexpensive method for organic micropollutant analysis, but its applications are limited by the low affinity of most organic micropollutants toward plasmonic nanoparticle surfaces. Particularly, the citrate layer on gold nanoparticle (AuNP) surfaces exerts strong resistance to ligand exchange and prevents carboxylic and phenolic pollutants from entering SERS "hot spots". In this study, we aim to extend the application of SERS to low-affinity organic micropollutants by oxidative decomposition of the citrate layer on AuNP surfaces. The kinetics of citrate oxidation were carefully controlled using sulfate radicals that were slowly released from peroxydisulfate photolysis, which guarantees both the stability of AuNP colloid and generation of a high density of SERS hot spots for pollutant analysis. In situ Raman spectroscopic monitoring demonstrates that citrate is first oxidized to di- and monocarboxylate acids and subsequently displaced by guest ligands. This oxidation-induced ligand exchange has been applied for SERS analysis of various low-affinity organic micropollutants, including monochloro-substituted carboxylates and phenols, as well as a widely used herbicide 2.4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. This study substantially broadens the library of organic micropollutants for label-free SERS analysis and advances SERS toward a holistic analytical tool for water quality monitoring.

Abstract
As non-biological molecules, molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) can be made as antibody mimics for the development of luminescence sensors for various targets. The combination of MIPs with nanomaterials is further recognized as a useful option to improve the sensitivity of luminescence sensors. In this work, the recent progresses made in the fabrication of fluorescence, phosphorescence, chemiluminescence, and electrochemiluminescence sensors based on such combination have been reviewed with emphasis on the detection of pesticides/herbicides. Accordingly, the materials that are most feasible for the detection of such targets are recommended based on the MIP technologies.

Abstract
Metal nanoparticles (NPs) are increasingly being used in many areas, e.g., industry, pharmacy, and biomedical engineering. NPs can be obtained through chemical and biological synthesis or using physical methods. AgNPs, AuNPs, CuNPs, FeNPs, MgNPs, SnO2NPs, TiO2NPs, and ZnONPs are the most commonly synthesized metal nanoparticles. Many of them have anti-microbial properties and documented activity supported by many tests against some species of pathogenic bacteria, viruses, and fungi. AgNPs, which are used for the production of commercial self-sterilizing packages, are one of the best-explored nanoparticles. Moreover, the EFSA has approved the use of small doses of silver nanoparticles (0.05 mg Ag·kg−1) to food products. Recent studies have shown that metal NPs can be used for the production of coatings to prevent the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which has caused the global pandemic. Some nanoparticles (e.g., ZnONPs and MgONPs) have the Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) status, i.e., they are considered safe for consumption and can be used for the production of edible coatings, protecting food against spoilage. Promising results have been obtained in research on the use of more than one type of nanometals, which prevents the development of pathogen resistance through various mechanisms of inactivation thereof.

Abstract
Lysozyme is widely used for the synthesis of nanomaterials (e.g., gold nanoparticle) to fluorescently sense metal ions. However, the effect of metal ions on the fluorescence of lysozyme is not studied yet. Herein, we have explored the interactions of lysozyme with different metal ions to develop a direct sensing platform for Fe(III). It has been observed that the fluorescence of lysozyme was slightly decreased in the presence of Cu(II), Hg(II), As(V), Co(II), Cd(II), Cr(II), Fe(II), Mn(II), Pb(II), and Zn(II), while a significant decrease in the lysozyme fluorescence was observed for Fe(III). The effect of thermal stability on the fluorescence quenching was also studied from 25 to 60 °C. In the present study, the lysozyme sensing probe was able to selectively and accurately detect 0.5-50 ppm of Fe(III) with a LOD of 0.1 ppm (1.8 µM) at 25 °C.

Abstract
Morphological characteristics of any nanomaterial are critical in defining its properties. In this context, a method to control morphological parameters of polyaniline (PANI) has been investigated by producing its composite with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Herein, we report for the first time the successful control on the physical/chemical properties of PANI composites synthesized via interfacial polymerization through functionalization of its AuNP composite component with citrate, ascorbate, glutathione (GSH), and cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB). A significant difference in the polymerization pattern, morphologies, and electrical properties was recognized in these composites according to the functionality of the modified AuNPs. The obtained composites of AuNPs/PANI exhibited highly diverse morphologies (e.g., nodule, hollow hemisphere, flake, and spider-web galaxy type) and electrical characteristics according to functionalization. Hence, this study is expected to offer better insight into control of the polymerization pattern of AuNP/PANI composites and their associated properties.
