Abstract
Nanosized sodium bismuth perovskite titanate (NBT) was synthesized and first used as the electrochemical immune sensing platform for the sensitive detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) grew on the surface of NBT through forming Au-N bond to obtain Au@NBT, and a label-free electrochemical immunosensor was proposed using Au@NBT as an immunosensing recognizer towards CEA. The well-ordered crystal structure of NBT was not changed at all after the modification of Au NPs outside, but significantly improved the conductivity, catalytic activity, and biocompatibility of the Au@NBT-modified electrode. The unique cubic crystal nanostructure of NBT offered a large active area for both Au NP modification and the subsequent immobilization of biomolecules over the electrode surface, triggering the effective generation of promising properties of the proposed Au@NBT-based electrochemical immunosensor. As expected, favorable detection performances were achieved using this immunosensor towards CEA detection, where a good linear relationship between the current response and CEA concentration was obtained in the concentration range 10 fg mL-1 to 100 ng mL-1 with a low detection limit (LOD) of 13.17 fg mL-1. Also, the significantly enhanced selectivity, and stability guaranteed the promising electrochemical properties of this immunosensor. Furthermore, the analysis of real serum samples verified the high feasibility of this new method in clinical CEA detection. This work opens a new window for the application of nanoperovskite in the early detection of CEA.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024; 20:e2310476. [PMID: 38282388 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202310476] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2023] [Revised: 12/24/2023] [Indexed: 01/30/2024]
Abstract
In recent years, carbon nitride (CN) has attracted substantial attention in the field of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) applications, owing to its outstanding optical and electronic properties. However, the passivation of CN during the ECL process has contributed to reduced stability and poor repeatability. While some studies have tried to boost ECL performance by altering CN through doping and vacancies, effectively suppressing CN passivation at high potentials continues to be challenge. In this study, the built-in electric field and the Schottky barrier effect is used to expedite the transfer of electrons from CN to the molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) conduction band. This transfer deterred excessive electron injection into the CN band, thus mitigating its electrochemical degradation. Moreover, by introducing nickel nanoparticles (Ni NPs) as catalytic active sites, it is facilitated that the decomposition of potassium persulfate (K2S2O8), thereby enhancing both the stability and intensity of ECL emission. In the end, the application of ternary heterostructure as sensing platform for the cancer biomarker carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) demonstrated high sensitivity. This research introduces a novel approach to overcome CN passivation, paving the way for more promising applications of CN in energy, environmental, and biosensing fields.

MWCNTs and ZnO-based Ce-MOF nanocomposites as enhanced sensing platform for electrochemical detection of carbendazim in Chinese traditional herbs samples. Mikrochim Acta 2023; 190:281.

Abstract
A facile and novel Ce-MOF@MWCNTs@ZnO-modified glassy carbon electrode was prepared through drop coating and used for accurate and sensitive electrochemical detection of carbendazim. The modification of ZnO nanospheres and Ce-based metal-organic frameworks (Ce-MOFs), which possess vast surface/bulk ratio, large surface area, and excellent catalytic ability, provided more active sites for reaction. The combination of multi-walled carbon nanotubes endowed the modified electrode with excellent conductivity and greatly accelerated the electron transfer. The promotion of electrochemical response and the significant improvement of peak current indicated the outstanding electrocatalytic ability of the modified electrode. The oxidation peak current of carbendazim which was measured by DPV in a potential range from 0.5 to 1.0 V produced a good linear relationship in the concentration ranges 0.05-10.0 μM and 10.0-50.0 μM under optimized experimental conditions. The detection limit was 13.2 nM (S/N = 3). The constructed electrode was successfully applied to the detection of carbendazim in Lithospermum and Glycyrrhiza uralensis real samples and exhibited satisfactory RSD (2.7-3.6% and 1.6-4.8%, respectively) and recovery (102-106% and 97.7-107%, respectively).

Abstract
The improvement of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) intensity in luminol, a classic electrochemiluminescent material, remains a controversial topic. In this study, synthesis of acetylene black oxide (ACETO) through simple air annealing was successful in introducing oxygen-containing groups and defects, which can act as active sites for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and exhibit excellent catalytic activity. By introducing the two-electron (2e-) ORR into the cathode ECL system of luminol, integration of ACETO and luminol allows for in situ generation of dissolved oxygen into reactive oxygen species (ROS), thereby enhancing the ECL intensity of luminol. It is worth noting that iron-nitrogen-carbon (FeNC), as a secondary antibody (Ab2) label, can catalyze the decomposition of H2O2, the product of 2e- ORR, into ROS to achieve ECL amplification. Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), an important tumor marker, was successfully detected with a detection limit of 0.01 pg/mL, indicating that this ECL signal amplification strategy has broad application prospects in biological analysis.

Abstract
Recently, electrochemistry- and photoelectrochemistry-based biosensors have been regarded as powerful tools for trace monitoring of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) due to the fact of their intrinsic advantages (e.g., high sensitivity, excellent selectivity, small background, and low cost), which play an important role in early cancer screening and diagnosis and benefit people's increasing demands for medical and health services. Thus, this mini-review will introduce the current trends in electrochemical and photoelectrochemical biosensors for CEA assay and classify them into two main categories according to the interactions between target and biorecognition elements: immunosensors and aptasensors. Some recent illustrative examples are summarized for interested readers, accompanied by simple descriptions of the related signaling strategies, advanced materials, and detection modes. Finally, the development prospects and challenges of future electrochemical and photoelectrochemical biosensors are considered.

Abstract
The method of tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive aggregation has become a promising approach to enhance treatment effect by improving the accumulation of nanoparticles in tumors. The enzymatic cross-linking strategy has widely attracted attention owing to its good aggregation stability and biocompatibility. However, the enzymes in nontumor tissue can also catalyze the cross-linking reaction and reduce accumulation of nanoparticles in tumor. In this work, a "dual key"-responsive strategy is utilized to construct a transglutaminase (TGase)/pH-responsive radiosensitizer (Au@TAcoGal) with specific aggregation behavior in hepatic tumor cells. Au@TAcoGal can retain its stability in blood circulation (pH 7.4) even in the presence of TGase in plasma. On reaching tumor sites, it can be endocytosed by hepatoma cells by the active targeting of phenylboronic acid (PBA) and aggregated under acidity and overexpression of TGase in cells. Due to its specific accumulation in hepatoma cells, radiotherapy can be operated under a lower dose of X-ray. The results show that the cellular accumulation of Au@TAcoGal increases by 30-70%, and the cell survival rate is less than 25% under X-ray irradiation. The antineoplastic results show that Au@TAcoGal exhibits a higher therapeutic effect, and the tumor inhibition rate can reach 84.21%.
