Abstract
Field-effect transistor (FET) biosensors based on two-dimensional (2D) materials are highly sought after for their high sensitivity, label-free detection, fast response, and ease of on-chip integration. However, the subthreshold swing (SS) of FETs is constrained by the Boltzmann limit and cannot fall below 60 mV/dec, hindering sensor sensitivity enhancement. Additionally, the gate-leakage current of 2D material biosensors in liquid environments significantly increases, adversely affecting the detection accuracy and stability. Based on the principle of negative capacitance, this paper presents for the first time a two-dimensional material WSe2 negative capacitance field-effect transistor (NCFET) with a minimum subthreshold swing of 56 mV/dec in aqueous solution. The NCFET shows a significantly improved biosensor function. The pH detection sensitivity of the NCFET biosensor reaches 994 pH-1, nearly an order of magnitude higher than that of the traditional two-dimensional WSe2 FET biosensor. The Al2O3/HfZrO (HZO) bilayer dielectric in the NCFET not only contributes to negative capacitance characteristics in solution but also significantly reduces the leakage in solution. Utilizing an enzyme catalysis method, the WSe2 NCFET biosensor demonstrates a specific detection of glucose molecules, achieving a high sensitivity of 4800 A/A in a 5 mM glucose solution and a low detection limit (10-9 M). Further experiments also exhibit the ability of the biosensor to detect glucose in sweat.

Mikrochim Acta 2024; 191:493.

Abstract
A solution-gate controlled thin-film transistor with SnO2 epitaxial thin films (SnO2-SGTFT) is successfully utilized for highly sensitive detection of nitrite. The SnO2 films are deposited as channel materials on a c-plane sapphire (c-Al2O3) substrate through pulsed laser deposition (PLD), with superior crystal quality and out-of-plane atomic ordering. PtAu NPs/rGO nanocomposites are electrodeposited on a gold electrode to function as a transistor gate to further enhance the nitrite catalytic performance of the device. The change in effective gate voltage due to the electrooxidation of nitrite on the gate electrode is the primary sensing mechanism of the device. Based on the inherent amplification effect of transistors, the superior electrical properties of SnO2, and the high electrocatalytic activity of PtAu NPs/rGO, the SnO2-SGTFT sensor has a low detection limit of 0.1 nM and a wide linear detection range of 0.1 nM ~ 50 mM at VGS = 1.0 V. Furthermore, the sensor has excellent characteristics such as rapid response time, selectivity, and stability. The practicability of the device has been confirmed by the quantitative detection of nitrite in natural lake water. SnO2 epitaxial films grown by PLD provide a simple and efficient way to fabricate nitrite SnO2-SGTFT sensors in environmental monitoring and food safety, among others. It also provides a reference for the construction of other high-performance thin-film transistor sensors.

Abstract
The rise of two-dimensional (2D) materials has provided a confined geometry and yielded methods for guiding electrons at the nanoscale level. 2D material-enabled electronic devices can interact and transduce the subtle charge perturbation and permit significant advancement in molecule discrimination technology with high accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity, leaving a significant impact on disease diagnosis and health monitoring. However, high-performance biosensors with scalable fabrication ability and simple protocols have yet to be fully realized due to the challenges in wafer-scale 2D film synthesis and integration with electronics. Here, we propose a molybdenum oxide (MoOx)-interdigitated electrode (IDE)-based label-free biosensing chip, which stands out for its wafer-scale dimension, tunability, ease of integration and compatibility with the complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) fabrication. The device surface is biofunctionalized with monoclonal anti-carcinoembryonic antigen antibodies (anti-CEA) via the linkage agent (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) detection and is characterized step-by-step to reveal the working mechanism. A wide range and real-time response of the CEA concentration from 0.1 to 100 ng mL-1 and a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.015 ng mL-1 were achieved, meeting the clinical requirements for cancer diagnosis and prognosis in serum. The MoOx-IDE biosensor also demonstrates strong surface affinity towards molecules and high selectivity using L-cysteine (L-Cys), glycine (Gly), glucose (Glu), bovine serum albumin (BSA), and immunoglobulin G (IgG). This study showcases a simple, scalable, and low-cost strategy to create a nanoelectronic biosensing platform to achieve high-performance cancer biomarker discrimination capabilities.

Abstract
Wearable sensors designed for continuous, non-invasive monitoring of physicochemical signals are important for portable healthcare. Oxide field-effect transistor (FET)-type biosensors provide high sensitivity and scalability. However, they face challenges in mechanical flexibility, multiplexed sensing of different modules, and the absence of integrated on-site signal processing and wireless transmission functionalities for wearable sensing. In this work, a fully integrated wearable oxide FET-based biosensor array is developed to facilitate the multiplexed and simultaneous measurement of ion concentrations (H+, Na+, K+) and temperature. The FET-sensor array is achieved by utilizing a solution-processed ultrathin (≈6 nm thick) In2O3 active channel layer, exhibiting high compatibility with standard semiconductor technology, good mechanical flexibility, high uniformity, and low operational voltage of 0.005 V. This work provides an effective method to enable oxide FET-based biosensors for the fusion of multiplexed physicochemical information and wearable health monitoring applications.

Abstract
Bimetallic glucose oxidation electrocatalysts were synthesized by two electrochemical reduction reactions carried out in series onto a titanium electrode. Nickel was deposited in the first synthesis stage followed by either silver or copper in the second stage to form Ag@Ni and Cu@Ni bimetallic structures. The chemical composition, crystal structure, and morphology of the resulting metal coating of the titanium electrode were investigated by X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and electron microscopy. The electrocatalytic performance of the coated titanium electrodes toward glucose oxidation was probed using cyclic voltammetry and amperometry. It was found that the unique high surface area bimetallic structures have superior electrocatalytic activity compared to nickel alone. The resulting catalyst-coated titanium electrode served as a nonenzymatic glucose sensor with high sensitivity and low limit of detection for glucose. The Cu@Ni catalyst enables accurate measurement of glucose over the concentration range of 0.2-12 mM, which includes the full normal human blood glucose range, with the maximum level extending high enough to encompass warning levels for prediabetic and diabetic conditions. The sensors were also found to perform well in the presence of several chemical compounds found in human blood known to interfere with nonenzymatic sensors.

Abstract
To ensure the operational stability of transistor-based biosensors in aqueous electrolytes during multiple measurements, effective electrode passivation is crucially important for reliable and reproducible device performances. This paper presents a highly effective and efficient electrode passivation method using a facile solution-processed self-assembled multilayer (SAML) with excellent insulation property to achieve operational stability and reproducibility of electrolyte-gated transistor (EGT) biosensors. The SAML is created by the consecutive self-assembly of three different molecular layers of 1,10-decanedithiol, vinyl-polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane, and 1-octadecanethiol. This passivation enables EGT to operate stably in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) during repeated measurements over multiple cycles without short-circuiting. The SAML-passivated EGT biosensor is fabricated with a solution-processed In2O3 thin film as an amorphous oxide semiconductor working both as a semiconducting channel in the transistor and as a functionalizable biological interface for a bioreceptor. The SAML-passivated EGT including In2O3 thin film is demonstrated for the detection of Tau protein as a biomarker of Alzheimer's disease while employing a Tau-specific DNA aptamer as a bioreceptor and a PBS solution with a low ionic strength to diminish the charge-screening (Debye length) effect. The SAML-passivated EGT biosensor functionalized with the Tau-specific DNA aptamer exhibits ultrasensitive, quantitative, and reliable detection of Tau protein from 1 × 10-15 to 1 × 10-10 M, covering a much larger range than clinical needs, via changes in different transistor parameters. Therefore, the SAML-based passivation method can be effectively and efficiently utilized for operationally stable and reproducible transistor-based biosensors. Furthermore, this presented strategy can be extensively adapted for advanced biomedical devices and bioelectronics in aqueous or physiological environments.

Abstract
Identifying disease biomarkers and detecting hazardous, explosive, flammable, and polluting gases and chemicals with extremely sensitive and selective sensor devices remains a challenging and time-consuming research challenge. Due to their exceptional characteristics, semiconducting metal oxides (SMOxs) have received a lot of attention in terms of the development of various types of sensors in recent years. The key performance indicators of SMOx-based sensors are their sensitivity, selectivity, recovery time, and steady response over time. SMOx-based sensors are discussed in this review based on their different properties. Surface properties of the functional material, such as its (nano)structure, morphology, and crystallinity, greatly influence sensor performance. A few examples of the complicated and poorly understood processes involved in SMOx sensing systems are adsorption and chemisorption, charge transfers, and oxygen migration. The future prospects of SMOx-based gas sensors, chemical sensors, and biological sensors are also discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Protective antigen (PA) is an important biomarker for the early diagnosis of anthrax, and the accurate detection of protective antigen under extremely low concentration conditions has always been a hot topic in the biomedical field. To complete the diagnosis of anthrax in a timely manner, it is necessary to detect PA at extremely low concentrations, as the amount of PA produced in the early stage of anthrax invasion is relatively small. Graphene field-effect transistor (Gr-FET) biosensors are a new type of material for preparing biosensors, with the advantages of a short detection time and ultra-low detection limit. METHODS The effect of different concentrations of diluents on the affinity of PA monoclonal antibodies was determined via an ELISA experiment. Combined with the Debye equation, 0.01 × PBS solution was finally selected as the diluent for the experiment. Then, a PA monoclonal antibody was selected as the bio-recognition element to construct a Gr-FET device based on CVD-grown graphene, which was used to detect the concentration of PA while recording the response time, linear range, detection limit, and other parameters. RESULTS The experimental results showed that the biosensor could quickly detect PA, with a linear range of 10 fg/mL to 100 pg/mL and a detection limit of 10 fg/mL. In addition, the biosensor showed excellent specificity and repeatability. CONCLUSIONS By constructing a Gr-FET device based on CVD-grown graphene and selecting a PA monoclonal antibody as the bio-recognition element, a highly sensitive, specific, and repeatable Gr-FET biosensor was successfully prepared for detecting extremely low concentrations of anthrax protective antigen (PA). This biosensor is expected to have a wide range of applications in clinical medicine and biological safety monitoring.

Abstract
Field-effect transistor (FET) biosensors based on two-dimensional (2D) materials have drawn significant attention due to their outstanding sensitivity. However, the Boltzmann distribution of electrons imposes a physical limit on the subthreshold swing (SS), and a 2D-material biosensor with sub-60 mV/dec SS has not been realized, which hinders further increase of the sensitivity of 2D-material FET biosensors. Here, we report tunnel FETs (TFETs) based on a SnSe2/WSe2 heterostructure and observe the tunneling effect of a 2D material in aqueous solution for the first time with an ultralow SS of 29 mV/dec. A bilayer dielectric (Al2O3/HfO2) and graphene contacts, which significantly reduce the leakage current in solution and contact resistance, respectively, are crucial to the realization of the tunneling effect in solution. Then, we propose a novel biosensing method by using tunneling current as the sensing signal. The TFETs show an extremely high pH sensitivity of 895/pH due to ultralow SS, surpassing the sensitivity of FET biosensors based on a single 2D material (WSe2) by 8-fold. Specific detection of glucose is realized, and the biosensors show a superb sensitivity (3158 A/A for 5 mM), wide sensing range (from 10-9 to 10-3 M), low detection limit (10-9 M), and rapid response rate (11 s). The sensors also exhibit the ability of monitoring glucose in complex biofluid (sweat). This work provides a platform for ultrasensitive biosensing. The discovery of the tunneling effect of 2D materials in aqueous solution may stimulate further fundamental research and potential applications.

Abstract
Monitoring neurochemical signaling across time scales is critical to understanding how brains encode and store information. Flexible (vs stiff) devices have been shown to improve in vivo monitoring, particularly over longer times, by reducing tissue damage and immunological responses. Here, we report our initial steps toward developing flexible and implantable neuroprobes with aptamer-field-effect transistor (FET) biosensors for neurotransmitter monitoring. A high-throughput process was developed to fabricate thin, flexible polyimide probes using microelectromechanical-system (MEMS) technologies, where 150 flexible probes were fabricated on each 4 in. Si wafer. Probes were 150 μm wide and 7 μm thick with two FETs per tip. The bending stiffness was 1.2 × 10-11 N·m2. Semiconductor thin films (3 nm In2O3) were functionalized with DNA aptamers for target recognition, which produces aptamer conformational rearrangements detected via changes in FET conductance. Flexible aptamer-FET neuroprobes detected serotonin at femtomolar concentrations in high-ionic strength artificial cerebrospinal fluid. A straightforward implantation process was developed, where microfabricated Si carrier devices assisted with implantation such that flexible neuroprobes detected physiological relevant serotonin in a tissue-hydrogel brain mimic.

Abstract
Metal-oxide semiconducting materials are promising for building high-performance field-effect transistor (FET) based biochemical sensors. The existence of well-established top-down scalable manufacturing processes enables the reliable production of cost-effective yet high-performance sensors, two key considerations toward the translation of such devices in real-life applications. Metal-oxide semiconductor FET biochemical sensors are especially well-suited to the development of Point-of-Care testing (PoCT) devices, as illustrated by the rapidly growing body of reports in the field. Yet, metal-oxide semiconductor FET sensors remain confined to date, mainly in academia. Toward accelerating the real-life translation of this exciting technology, we review the current literature and discuss the critical features underpinning the successful development of metal-oxide semiconductor FET-based PoCT devices that meet the stringent performance, manufacturing, and regulatory requirements of PoCT.

Abstract
Two metal oxide nanoparticles, magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgONPs) and aluminum oxide nanoparticles (Al2O3NPs), were synthesized from green sources, Salvia officials and Cuminum cyminum seed extract, respectively. These nanoparticles were used for construction of potentiometric enhancement sensors employed for the estimation of ranitidine hydrochloride (RNT) in authentic powder and commercial products. The electroactive substance ranitidine-phosphotungstate (RNT-PT) was formed by combining RNT with phosphotungstic acid (PTA) in the presence of plasticizing material o-nitrophenyloctyl ether (o-NPOE). The outcomes showed that the enhanced MgO and Al2O3 nanosensors behaved linearly across the concentration ranges 1.0 × 10-9-1.0 × 10-2 and 1.0 × 10-10-1.0 × 10-2 mol L-1, respectively. However, the conventional sensor (RNT-PT) displayed a linearity over 1.0 × 10-6-1.0 × 10-2 mol L-1. Least square equations were calculated as EmV = (54.1 ± 0.5) log (RNT) + 762.33, EmV = (58.6 ± 0.2) log (RNT) + 696.48, and EmV = (52.2 ± 0.7) log (RNT) + 756.76 for enriched nanometal oxides modified and conventional sensors, respectively. The correlation coefficients of regression equations were 0.9997, 0.9995, and 0.9992 for the above suggested sensors, respectively. The recorded results showed excellent sensitivity and selectivity of the modified nanometal oxide sensors for the quantification of the analyzed drug in its authentic samples and commercial products.

Abstract
A novel microfluidic photoelectrochemical (PEC) analytical device based on AgBiS2@Ag nanozyme-mediated signal amplification was developed for ultrasensitive detection of cytokeratin 19 fragment 21-1 (CYFRA 21-1). First, a brand new Z-scheme BiVO4/ZnIn2S4 (BZIS) photoactive material was utilized as a sensing matrix to supply a stable photocurrent. Under anodic bias, the photoexcited holes in BiVO4 could oxidize water to produce hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which markedly enhanced the separation efficiency of the electron-hole pairs. Besides, the Z-scheme heterojunction formed between BiVO4 and ZnIn2S4 further accelerated the transport of the electron. Second, for improving the sensitivity of the PEC sensor, a new strategy of catalytic dissociation of the hole-derived H2O2 by AgBiS2@Ag nanozyme was proposed to amplify the PEC signal. AgBiS2@Ag composites, possessing an excellent peroxidase-mimicking feature, could efficiently catalyze the H2O2 to produce hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and lead to the significant enhancement of the photocurrent. Third, automatic sample injection and detection were successfully realized by integrating the photoelectrode into microfluidic chips. Based on this advanced sensing strategy, the designed microfluidic PEC sensor displayed a wide linear range (0.1 pg/mL - 100 ng/mL) and a low detection limit of 35 fg/mL (S/N = 3), which could be efficiently applied to the ultrasensitive determination of CYFRA 21-1 in a human serum sample.

Abstract
The evolutionary success in information technology has been sustained by the rapid growth of sensor technology. Recently, advances in sensor technology have promoted the ambitious requirement to build intelligent systems that can be controlled by external stimuli along with independent operation, adaptivity, and low energy expenditure. Among various sensing techniques, field-effect transistors (FETs) with channels made of two-dimensional (2D) materials attract increasing attention for advantages such as label-free detection, fast response, easy operation, and capability of integration. With atomic thickness, 2D materials restrict the carrier flow within the material surface and expose it directly to the external environment, leading to efficient signal acquisition and conversion. This review summarizes the latest advances of 2D-materials-based FET (2D FET) sensors in a comprehensive manner that contains the material, operating principles, fabrication technologies, proof-of-concept applications, and prototypes. First, a brief description of the background and fundamentals is provided. The subsequent contents summarize physical, chemical, and biological 2D FET sensors and their applications. Then, we highlight the challenges of their commercialization and discuss corresponding solution techniques. The following section presents a systematic survey of recent progress in developing commercial prototypes. Lastly, we summarize the long-standing efforts and prospective future development of 2D FET-based sensing systems toward commercialization.

Abstract
Low-temperature process compatibility is a key factor in successfully constructing additional functional circuits on top of pre-existing circuitry without corrupting characteristics thereof, a technique that typically requires die-to-die (wafer-to-wafer) stacking and interconnecting. And against thermal annealing, which is mandatory and is possible only globally for activating amorphous oxide semiconductors, the selective control of electrical characteristics of the oxide thin-films for integrated circuit applications is challenging. Here, a low-temperature process that enables n-type doping of the designed region of insulating In2O3thin-film is demonstrated. A short hydrogen plasma treatment followed by low-temperature annealing is used to increase interstitial and substitutional hydrogen associated bond states creating shallow donor levels in the insulating In2O3surface to transform the thin-film into an n-type semiconductor. As a result, an In2O3thin-film transistor with a high on/off current ratio (>108), a field-effect mobility of 3.8 cm2V-1s-1, and a threshold voltage of ∼3.0 V has been developed. Compared to performing just thermal annealing, the H-plasma assisted annealing process resulted in an n-type In2O3thin-film transistor showing similar characteristics, while the processing time was reduced by ∼1/3 and the plasma-untreated area still remained insulating. With further development, the hydrogen plasma doping process may make possible a monolithic planar process technology for amorphous oxide semiconductors.

Abstract
Flexible biosensors have received intensive attention for real-time, non-invasive monitoring of cancer biomarkers. Highly sensitive tyrosinase biosensors, which are important for melanoma screening, remained a hurdle. Herein, high-performance tyrosinase-sensing field-effect transistor-based biosensors (bio-FETs) have been successfully achieved by self-assembling nanostructured tetrapeptide tryptophan-valine-phenylalanine-tyrosine (WVFY) on n-type metal oxide transistors. In the presence of target tyrosinase, the phenolic hydroxyl groups in WVFY are rapidly converted to benzoquinone with the consumption of protons, which could be detected potentiometrically by bio-FETs. As a result, the WVFY-modified bio-FETs exhibited an ultra-low detection limit of 1.9 fM and an optimal detection range of 10 fM to 1 nM toward tyrosinase sensing. Furthermore, flexible devices fabricated on ∼2.9-μm-thick polyimide (PI) substrates illustrated robust mechanical flexibility, which could be attached to human skin conformally. These achievements hold promise for wearable melanoma screening and provide designing guidelines for detecting other important cancer biomarkers with bio-FETs.

Abstract
Wearable technologies for personalized monitoring require sensors that track biomarkers often present at low levels. Cortisol—a key stress biomarker—is present in sweat at low nanomolar concentrations. Previous wearable sensing systems are limited to analytes in the micromolar-millimolar ranges. To overcome this and other limitations, we developed a flexible field-effect transistor (FET) biosensor array that exploits a previously unreported cortisol aptamer coupled to nanometer-thin-film In2O3 FETs. Cortisol levels were determined via molecular recognition by aptamers where binding was transduced to electrical signals on FETs. The physiological relevance of cortisol as a stress biomarker was demonstrated by tracking salivary cortisol levels in participants in a Trier Social Stress Test and establishing correlations between cortisol in diurnal saliva and sweat samples. These correlations motivated the development and on-body validation of an aptamer-FET array–based smartwatch equipped with a custom, multichannel, self-referencing, and autonomous source measurement unit enabling seamless, real-time cortisol sweat sensing.

A Tri-Channel Oxide Transistor Concept for the Rapid Detection of Biomolecules Including the SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein. ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2022; 34:e2104608.

Abstract
Solid-state transistor sensors that can detect biomolecules in real time are highly attractive for emerging bioanalytical applications. However, combining upscalable manufacturing with the required performance remains challenging. Here, an alternative biosensor transistor concept is developed, which relies on a solution-processed In2 O3 /ZnO semiconducting heterojunction featuring a geometrically engineered tri-channel architecture for the rapid, real-time detection of important biomolecules. The sensor combines a high electron mobility channel, attributed to the electronic properties of the In2 O3 /ZnO heterointerface, in close proximity to a sensing surface featuring tethered analyte receptors. The unusual tri-channel design enables strong coupling between the buried electron channel and electrostatic perturbations occurring during receptor-analyte interactions allowing for robust, real-time detection of biomolecules down to attomolar (am) concentrations. The experimental findings are corroborated by extensive device simulations, highlighting the unique advantages of the heterojunction tri-channel design. By functionalizing the surface of the geometrically engineered channel with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antibody receptors, real-time detection of the SARS-CoV-2 spike S1 protein down to am concentrations is demonstrated in under 2 min in physiological relevant conditions.

Abstract
The sensitive and accurate detection of microRNA (miRNA) has meaningful values for clinical diagnosis application as an early stage of tumor markers. Herein, a novel photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor was developed for the ultrasensitive and highly selective detection of microRNA-122 (miRNA-122) based on a direct Z-scheme heterojunction of Zn vacancy-mediated CdS/ZnS (CSZS-VZn). Impressively, the prepared Z-scheme heterojunction nanocomposite with defect level properties could make the photogenerated charges stay at the Zn vacancy defect levels and combine photogenerated holes in the valence bands of CdS, thus significantly achieving a better charge carrier separation efficiency and broadening the absorption of visible light and demonstrating 5-8 times enhancement of PEC response compared to single-component materials. Simultaneously, an exonuclease III (Exo-III)-assisted signal amplification strategy and a strand displacement reaction were combined to improve the conversion efficiency of the target and further increase the detection sensitivity. More importantly, the elaborated biosensor showed ultrasensitive and highly specific detection of the target miRNA-122 over a wide linear range from 10 aM to 100 pM with a low detection limit of 3.3 aM and exhibited enormous potential in the fields of bioanalysis and clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
While tools for monitoring in vivo electrophysiology have been extensively developed, neurochemical recording technologies remain limited. Nevertheless, chemical communication via neurotransmitters plays central roles in brain information processing. We developed implantable aptamer–field-effect transistor (FET) neuroprobes for monitoring neurotransmitters. Neuroprobes were fabricated using high-throughput microelectromechanical system (MEMS) technologies, where 150 probes with shanks of either 150- or 50-μm widths and thicknesses were fabricated on 4-inch Si wafers. Nanoscale FETs with ultrathin (~3 to 4 nm) In2O3 semiconductor films were prepared using sol-gel processing. The In2O3 surfaces were coupled with synthetic oligonucleotide receptors (aptamers) to recognize and to detect the neurotransmitter serotonin. Aptamer-FET neuroprobes enabled femtomolar serotonin detection limits in brain tissue with minimal biofouling. Stimulated serotonin release was detected in vivo. This study opens opportunities for integrated neural activity recordings at high spatiotemporal resolution by combining these aptamer-FET sensors with other types of Si-based implantable probes to advance our understanding of brain function.

Abstract
Brain pH has been proven to be a key factor in maintaining normal brain function. The relationship between local pH fluctuation and brain disease has not been extensively studied due to lack of the accurate in situ analysis technology. Herein, we have for the first time proposed a voltammetric pH sensor by measuring the ratio of current signals instead of the previously reported potential based on the Nernst equation. Single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNT) were first self-assembled on the electrode surface of a carbon-fiber nanotip electrode (CFNE). Then, poly-o-phenylenediamine (PoPD) molecules were deposited as pH-responsive molecules through in situ electrochemical polymerization. The compact CFNE/CNT/PoPD exhibited a good redox process with the on-off-on ratiometric electrochemical response to pH ranging from 4.5 to 8.2, providing self-correction for in situ pH detection. Thus, the proposed sensor enabled the accurate measurement of pH with excellent selectivity even in the presence of proteins or electroactive species. In addition, the sensor showed high repeatability, reproducibility, and reversibility in measuring pH and even demonstrated good stability when it was exposed to air for 5 months. Finally, we successfully detected the fluctuation of pH in rat brains with cerebral ischemia and rat whole blood. Overall, this research not only provides a good tool for the detection of rat brain pH but also provides a new strategy for further designing nanosensors for intracellular or subcellular pH.

Abstract
Biosensors are essential components for effective healthcare management. Since biological processes occur on molecular scales, nanomaterials and nanosensors intrinsically provide the most appropriate landscapes for developing biosensors. Low-dimensional materials have the advantage of offering high surface areas, increased reactivity and unique physicochemical properties for efficient and selective biosensing. So far, nanomaterials and nanodevices have offered significant prospects for glucose sensing. Targeted glucose biosensing using such low-dimensional materials enables much more effective monitoring of blood glucose levels, thus providing significantly better predictive diabetes diagnostics and management. In this review, recent advances in using low dimensional materials for sensing glucose are summarized. Sensing fundamentals are discussed, as well as invasive, minimally-invasive and non-invasive sensing methods. The effects of morphological characteristics and size-dependent properties of low dimensional materials are explored for glucose sensing, and the key performance parameters such as selectivity, stability and sensitivity are also discussed. Finally, the challenges and future opportunities that low dimensional materials can offer for glucose sensing are outlined.

Abstract
In this work, In2O3 electrolyte gated thin film transistors (In2O3-EGTFTs) with integrated on-chip gate electrode were investigated as a label-free biosensor. The In2O3 channel works as sensitive membrane and the on-chip gate electrode replaces reference electrode. The pH sensitivity of the device is 64 mV/pH with the deviation of 10 mV. The In2O3 channel was coated by streptavidin/neutravidin receptors to detect the target biomolecules of biotin. The streptavidin modified device presents an ultra-low working voltage ( [Formula: see text] V, [Formula: see text] mV) and the detection limit as low as 50 pg · mL -1 . And the neutravidin modified device presents apparent detecting performance even in low biotin concentration of 50 fg · mL -1 under a working voltage of [Formula: see text] V and [Formula: see text] mV. This work provides a high-performance biosensor device with low power consumption and simple structure that is easy to integrate and package.

Abstract
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequencing technology provides important data for the disclosure of genetic information and plays an important role in gene diagnosis and gene therapy. Conventional sequencing devices are expensive and require large and bulky optical structures and additional fluorescent labeling steps. Sequencing equipment based on a semiconductor chip has the advantages of fast sequencing speed, low cost and small size. The detection of DNA base pairing is the most important step in gene sequencing. In this study, a large-scale ion-sensitive field-effect transistor (ISFET) array chip with more than 13 million sensitive units is successfully designed for detecting the DNA base pairing. DNA base pairing is successfully detected by the sensor system, which includes the ISFET microarray chip, microfluidic system, and test platform. The chip achieves a high resolution of at least 0.5 mV, thus enabling the recognition of the change of 0.01 pH value. This complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) compatible and cost-efficient sensor array chip, together with other specially designed components, can form a complete DNA sequencing system with potential application in the molecular biology fields.

Abstract
Wafer-scale nanoribbon field-effect transistor (FET) biosensors fabricated by straightforward top-down processes are demonstrated as sensing platforms with high sensitivity to a broad range of biological targets. Nanoribbons with 350 nm widths (700 nm pitch) were patterned by chemical lift-off lithography using high-throughput, low-cost commercial digital versatile disks (DVDs) as masters. Lift-off lithography was also used to pattern ribbons with 2 μm or 20 μm widths (4 or 40 μm pitches, respectively) using masters fabricated by photolithography. For all widths, highly aligned, quasi-one-dimensional (1D) ribbon arrays were produced over centimeter length scales by sputtering to deposit 20 nm thin-film In2O3 as the semiconductor. Compared to 20 μm wide microribbons, FET sensors with 350 nm wide nanoribbons showed higher sensitivity to pH over a broad range (pH 5 to 10). Nanoribbon FETs functionalized with a serotonin-specific aptamer demonstrated larger responses to equimolar serotonin in high ionic strength buffer than those of microribbon FETs. Field-effect transistors with 350 nm wide nanoribbons functionalized with single-stranded DNA showed greater sensitivity to detecting complementary DNA hybridization vs 20 μm microribbon FETs. In all, we illustrate facile fabrication and use of large-area, uniform In2O3 nanoribbon FETs for ion, small-molecule, and oligonucleotide detection where higher surface-to-volume ratios translate to better detection sensitivities.

Abstract
Rapid development of artificial intelligence techniques ignites the emerging demand on accurate perception and understanding of optical signals from external environments via brain-like visual systems. Here, enabled by quasi-two-dimensional electron gases (quasi-2DEGs) in InGaO3(ZnO)3 superlattice nanowires (NWs), an artificial visual system was built to mimic the human ones. This system is based on an unreported device concept combining coexistence of oxygen adsorption-desorption kinetics on NW surface and strong carrier quantum-confinement effects in superlattice core, to resemble the biological Ca2+ ion flux and neurotransmitter release dynamics. Given outstanding mobility and sensitivity of superlattice NWs, an ultralow energy consumption down to subfemtojoule per synaptic event is realized in quasi-2DEG synapses, which rivals that of biological synapses and now available synapse-inspired electronics. A flexible quasi-2DEG artificial visual system is demonstrated to simultaneously perform high-performance light detection, brain-like information processing, nonvolatile charge retention, in situ multibit-level memory, orientation selectivity, and image memorizing.

Abstract
In recent years, field-effect transistors (FETs) have been very promising for biosensor applications due to their high sensitivity, real-time applicability, scalability, and prospect of integrating measurement system on a chip. Non-carbon 2D materials, such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), black phosphorus (BP), and metal oxides, are a group of new materials that have a huge potential in FET biosensor applications. In this work, we review the recent advances and remarkable studies of non-carbon 2D materials, in terms of their structures, preparations, properties and FET biosensor applications. We will also discuss the challenges facing non-carbon 2D materials-FET biosensors and their future perspectives.

Abstract
Electroactive polypyrrole-molybdenum disulfide (MoP) nanocomposites were synthesized and used for modifying screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) for ultrasensitive detection of berberine, an anticancer drug, in rat plasma. The electroactive nanocomposites were fabricated by exfoliating MoS2 followed by pyrrole polymerization. The effect of polypyrrole in the MoP nanocomposite was evaluated by varying the pyrrole concentration during polymerization, and the resulting nanocomposites prepared with pyrrole concentrations of 10, 20, 30 μL were named as MoP-1, MoP-2, and MoP-3, respectively. The electrochemical characterization of the three MoP nanocomposite sensors revealed that MoP-2/SPCE exhibited the highest electroactivity. The detection of berberine by the three MoP-coated SPCEs revealed that MoP-2/SPCE exhibited the highest activity against berberine due to a two-electron transfer mechanism on the MoP-2/SPCE electrode surface. The detection limit of berberine using the MoP-2/SPCE sensor was found to be about 0.05 μM, which is remarkably lower than the reported detection limits. The interference study proved the selectivity of the MoP-2/SPCE sensor toward berberine in the presence of other bioactive molecules and metal ions. The designed MoP-2/SPCE sensor retained 92% of its initial activity after 15 days of storage at room temperature, with RSD values of about 2.95% and 3.68% for the repeatability and reproducibility studies. Finally, the detection limit of berberine in a rat plasma sample determined using the MoP-2/SPCE sensor was found to be about 5 μM.

Abstract
We detect short oligonucleotides and distinguish between sequences that differ by a single base, using label-free, electronic field-effect transistors (FETs). Our sensing platform utilizes ultrathin-film indium oxide FETs chemically functionalized with single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). The ssDNA-functionalized semiconducting channels in FETs detect fully complementary DNA sequences and differentiate these sequences from those having different types and locations of single base-pair mismatches. Changes in charge associated with surface-bound ssDNA vs double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) alter FET channel conductance to enable detection due to differences in DNA duplex stability. We illustrate the capability of ssDNA-FETs to detect complementary RNA sequences and to distinguish from RNA sequences with single nucleotide variations. The development and implementation of electronic biosensors that rapidly and sensitively detect and differentiate oligonucleotides present new opportunities in the fields of disease diagnostics and precision medicine.

Light emission induced by chemical reactions, known as chemiluminescence (CL), has been widely used for bioassays, biosensors, imaging, and illumination applications. Most known CL systems exhibit flash-type single-color light emissions, which limit their applications. Long-lasting multicolor CL in aqueous solutions is highly desirable, especially for biological applications, but remains a challenge. Herein, we report a simple strategy of achieving highly efficient cascade Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) in the dynamic nanoassembly of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), CL reagents, and fluorophores in aqueous solution, which emits intensive multicolor CL with adjustable wavelength within 410-610 nm. β-CD can bind CL reagents and fluorophores to form a dynamic nanoassembly. These nanoassemblies can bring the included luminescent intermediate and fluorophores into close proximity and proper alignment, which should greatly enhance the FRET efficiency between luminescent intermediate and fluorophores. Indeed, the cascade FRET efficiency in this supramolecular nanoassembly reaches up to 92%, which is comparable with the cascade FRET systems based on covalently linked donors and acceptors. By using hydroxypropyl methylcellulose as the thickener to slow the diffusion (to elongate the CL emission), and using Ca(OH)2 solid (a low solubility strong base) as buffer to maintain the pH in the optimal range for the CL reaction, this nanoassembly system has been further developed to achieve slow-diffusion-controlled catalytic CL reactions, which enables long-lasting multicolor CL in aqueous solution that is visible to naked eyes and lasts for more than 20 h. The multicolor CL systems can be used to prepare transformable two-dimensional multicolor codes for encryption application.

Abstract
Determination of the amino acid phenylalanine is important for lifelong disease management in patients with phenylketonuria, a genetic disorder in which phenylalanine accumulates and persists at levels that alter brain development and cause permanent neurological damage and cognitive dysfunction. Recent approaches for treating phenylketonuria focus on injectable medications that efficiently break down phenylalanine but sometimes result in detrimentally low phenylalanine levels. We have identified new DNA aptamers for phenylalanine in two formats, initially as fluorescent sensors and then, incorporated with field-effect transistors (FETs). Aptamer-FET sensors detected phenylalanine over a wide range of concentrations (fM to mM). para-Chlorophenylalanine, which inhibits the enzyme that converts phenylalanine to tyrosine, was used to induce hyperphenylalaninemia during brain development in mice. Aptamer-FET sensors were specific for phenylalanine versus para-chlorophenylalanine and differentiated changes in mouse serum phenylalanine at levels expected in patients. Aptamer-FETs can be used to investigate models of hyperphenylalanemia in the presence of structurally related enzyme inhibitors, as well as naturally occurring amino acids. Nucleic acid-based receptors that discriminate phenylalanine analogs, some that differ by a single substituent, indicate a refined ability to identify aptamers with binding pockets tailored for high affinity and specificity. Aptamers of this type integrated into FETs enable rapid, electronic, label-free phenylalanine sensing.

Abstract
Rapid degradations are typically encountered in low-temperature processed oxide thin-film transistors (TFTs) with a high indium composition and quasi-two-dimensional (Q2D) thin channel, owing to the breaking of numerous surface bonds of the Q2D oxide and the ineffectiveness of oxidation treatment. Strategically, a novel approach is proposed for the effective use of non-centrosymmetric nitrous oxide (NO2) as a reactive oxidizer gas for realizing the highly robust and rapid field-effect mobility properties of low-temperature-processed Q2D amorphous indium zinc oxide (a-IZO) TFTs. From the surface chemical analysis, it is found that NO2 stably reconstructs surface chemical bonding with NO3- ions by capturing the charged electrons and oxygen and the regions with and without NO2 treatment display extreme differences in their electrical conductivity. Thus, a new process design can be suggested for the fabrication of self-aligned coplanar Q2D transistors, with the aim of scaling down and replacing conventional hydrogen treatment or ultraviolet irradiation. This concept is tactically designed considering the problematic aging effect and impact of the NO2 treatment. The self-aligned coplanar top-gate Q2D a-IZO TFTs exhibit outstanding device performance with a field-effect mobility of 30.1 cm2 V-1 s-1 and a relatively low positive bias stress shift of 1.3 V at an extremely low process temperature of 80 °C.

Abstract
Metal oxides have broad multifunctionality and important applications to energy, sensing, and information display. Printed electronics have recently adopted metal oxides to push the limits of performance and stability for flexible thin film systems. However, a grand challenge in this field is to achieve these properties while balancing the thermal budget, which critically determines the applicability, flexibility, and cost of these systems. This paper presents a focused review of printed metal oxide electronics, highlighting our recent work developing high-performance, printed transistors processed at low temperatures via aqueous precursor chemistries, nanomaterial hybrid inks, and ultraviolet annealing. These results reveal the potential for printing uniquely high-performance active devices (electronic mobility >10 cm2 V-1 s-1) but also illustrates the utility of nanocomposites that integrate nanomaterials within a metal oxide matrix for improving device performance.

Abstract
Electrically-transduced sensors, with their simplicity and compatibility with standard electronic technologies, produce signals that can be efficiently acquired, processed, stored, and analyzed. Two dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, including graphene, phosphorene (BP), transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), and others, have proven to be attractive for the fabrication of high-performance electrically-transduced chemical sensors due to their remarkable electronic and physical properties originating from their 2D structure. This review highlights the advances in electrically-transduced chemical sensing that rely on 2D materials. The structural components of such sensors are described, and the underlying operating principles for different types of architectures are discussed. The structural features, electronic properties, and surface chemistry of 2D nanostructures that dictate their sensing performance are reviewed. Key advances in the application of 2D materials, from both a historical and analytical perspective, are summarized for four different groups of analytes: gases, volatile compounds, ions, and biomolecules. The sensing performance is discussed in the context of the molecular design, structure-property relationships, and device fabrication technology. The outlook of challenges and opportunities for 2D nanomaterials for the future development of electrically-transduced sensors is also presented.

Abstract
Nanoribbon- and nanowire-based field-effect transistors (FETs) have attracted significant attention due to their high surface-to-volume ratios, which make them effective as chemical and biological sensors. However, the conventional nanofabrication of these devices is challenging and costly, posing a major barrier to widespread use. We report a high-throughput approach for producing arrays of ultrathin (∼3 nm) In2O3 nanoribbon FETs at the wafer scale. Uniform films of semiconducting In2O3 were prepared on Si/SiO2 surfaces via a sol-gel process prior to depositing Au/Ti metal layers. Commercially available high-definition digital versatile discs were employed as low-cost, large-area templates to prepare polymeric stamps for chemical lift-off lithography, which selectively removed molecules from self-assembled monolayers functionalizing the outermost Au surfaces. Nanoscale chemical patterns, consisting of one-dimensional lines (200 nm wide and 400 nm pitch) extending over centimeter length scales, were etched into the metal layers using the remaining monolayer regions as resists. Subsequent etch processes transferred the patterns into the underlying In2O3 films before the removal of the protective organic and metal coatings, revealing large-area nanoribbon arrays. We employed nanoribbons in semiconducting FET channels, achieving current on-to-off ratios over 107 and carrier mobilities up to 13.7 cm2 V-1 s-1. Nanofabricated structures, such as In2O3 nanoribbons and others, will be useful in nanoelectronics and biosensors. The technique demonstrated here will enable these applications and expand low-cost, large-area patterning strategies to enable a variety of materials and design geometries in nanoelectronics.
