Abstract
Efficient, mild, and reversible adsorption of nucleic acids onto nanomaterials represents a promising analytical approach for medical diagnosis. However, there is a scarcity of efficient and reversible nucleic acid adsorption nanomaterials. Additionally, the lack of comprehension of the molecular mechanisms governing their interactions poses significant challenges. These issues hinder the rational design and analytical applications of the nanomaterials. Herein, we propose an ultra-efficient nucleic acid affinity nanomaterial based on programmable lanthanide metal-organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs). Through experiments and density functional theory calculations, a rational design guideline for nucleic acid affinity of Ln-MOF was proposed, and a modular and flexible preparation scheme was provided. Then, Er-TPA (terephthalic acid) MOF emerged as the optimal candidate due to its pore size-independent adsorption and desorption capabilities for nucleic acids, enabling ultra-efficient adsorption (about 150% mass ratio) within 1 min. Furthermore, we elucidate the molecular-level mechanisms underlying the Ln-MOF adsorption of single- and double-stranded DNA and G4 structures. The affinity nanomaterial based on Ln-MOF exhibits robust nucleic acid extraction capability (4-fold higher than commercial reagent kits) and enables mild and reversible CRISPR/Cas9 functional regulation. This method holds significant promise for broad application in DNA/RNA liquid biopsy and gene editing, facilitating breakthroughs in analytical chemistry, pharmacy, and medical research.

Abstract
Precise modulation of host-guest interactions between programmable Ln-MOFs (lanthanide metal-organic frameworks) and phosphate analytes holds immense promise for enabling novel functionalities in biosensing. However, the intricate relationship between these functionalities and structures remains largely elusive. Understanding this correlation is crucial for advancing the rational design of fluorescent biosensor technology. Presently, there exists a large research gap concerning the utilization of Ln-MOFsto monitor the conversion of ATP to ADP, which poses a limitation for kinase detection. In this work, we delve into the potential of Ln-MOFs to amplify the fluorescence response during the kinase-mediated ATP-to-ADP conversion. Six Eu-MOFs were synthesized and Eu-TPTC ([1,1':4',1″]-terphenyl-3,3'',5,5''-tetracarboxylic acid) was selected as a ratiometric fluorescent probe, which is most suitable for high-precision detection of creatine kinase activity through the differential response from ATP to ADP. The molecular -level mechanism was confirmed by density functional theory. Furthermore, a simple paper chip-based platform was constructed to realize the fast (20 min) and sensitive (limit of detection is 0.34 U/L) creatine kinase activity detection in biological samples. Ln-MOF-phosphate interactions offer promising avenues for kinase activity assays and hold the potential for precise customization of analytical chemistry.

Abstract
The development of artificial receptors has great significance in measurement science and technology. The need for a robust version of natural receptors is getting increased attention because the cost of natural receptors is still high along with storage difficulties. Aptamers, imprinted polymers, and nanozymes are some of the matured artificial receptors in analytical chemistry. Recently, a new direction has been discovered by organic chemists, who can synthesize robust, activity-based, self-immolative organic molecules that have artificial receptor properties for the targeted analytes. Specifically designed trigger moieties implant selectivity and sensitivity. These latent electrochemical redox substrates are highly stable, mass-producible, inexpensive, and eco-friendly. Combining redox substrates with the merits of electrochemical techniques is a good opportunity to establish a new direction in artificial receptors. This Review provides an overview of electrochemical redox substrate design, anatomy, benefits, and biosensing potential. A proper understanding of molecular design can lead to the development of a library of novel self-immolative redox molecules that would have huge implications for measurement science and technology.

Abstract
Nanomaterial-based biosensors have received significant attention owing to their unique properties, especially enhanced sensitivity. Recent advancements in biomedical diagnosis have highlighted the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) as sensitive prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers for various diseases. Current diagnostics methods, however, need further improvements with regards to their sensitivity, mainly due to the low concentration levels of miRNAs in the body. The low limit of detection of nanomaterial-based biosensors has turned them into powerful tools for detecting and quantifying these biomarkers. Herein, we assemble an overview of recent developments in the application of different nanomaterials and nanostructures as miRNA electrochemical biosensing platforms, along with their pros and cons. The techniques are categorized based on the nanomaterial used.

Abstract
Transition metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes) are crystal nanomaterials with a number of surface functional groups such as fluorine, hydroxyl, and oxygen, which can be used as carriers for proteins and drugs. MXenes have excellent biocompatibility, electrical conductivity, surface hydrophilicity, mechanical properties and easy surface modification. However, at present, the stability of most MXenes needs to be improved, and more synthesis methods need to be explored. MXenes are good substrates for nerve cell regeneration and nerve reconstruction, which have broad application prospects in the repair of nervous system injury. Regarding the application of MXenes in neuroscience, mainly at the cellular level, the long-term in vivo biosafety and effects also need to be further explored. This review focuses on the progress of using MXenes in nerve regeneration over the last few years; discussing preparation of MXenes and their biocompatibility with different cells as well as the regulation by MXenes of nerve cell regeneration in two-dimensional and three-dimensional environments in vitro. MXenes have great potential in regulating the proliferation, differentiation, and maturation of nerve cells and in promoting regeneration and recovery after nerve injury. In addition, this review also presents the main challenges during optimization processes, such as the preparation of stable MXenes and long-term in vivo biosafety, and further discusses future directions in neural tissue engineering.

Abstract
Based on the designed inverted Y-shaped peptide and MXene nanocomposite (MXene-Au@ZIF-67), a ratiometric anti-pollution electrochemical biosensor was designed and applied to the detection of biomarkers in serum. Au@ZIF-67 inserted into the interior of MXene can not only prevent the accumulation of MXene but also provide a large amounts of binding sites for capturing biomolecules. A designed multifunctional Y-shaped peptide containing anchoring, antifouling, and recognition sequences was anchored onto MXene-Au@ZIF-67 through Au-S bonds. Electrochemical signal molecules, ferrocenecarboxylic acid (Fc) and methylene blue (MB), were modified to another end of multifunctional peptide and interior of MXene-Au@ZIF-67, respectively, to produce a ratiometric electrochemical signal. We selected prostate specific antigen (PSA) as the model compound. PSA specifically recognizes and cleaves the recognition segment in the Y-shaped peptide, and the signal of Fc is reduced, while the signal of MB remains unchanged. The ratiometric strategy endows the present biosensor high accuracy and sensitivity with a detection limit of 0.85 pg/mL. In addition, the sensing surface has good antifouling ability due to the antifouling sequence of the two branching parts of the Y-shaped peptide. More importantly, by replacing the recognition segment of peptides also other targets are accessible, indicating the potential application of the universal detection strategy to the detection of various biomarkers in clinical diagnosis.

Talanta 2023; 265:124863. [PMID: 37421794 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.124863] [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: 04/16/2023] [Revised: 06/08/2023] [Accepted: 06/20/2023] [Indexed: 07/10/2023]
Abstract
Abnormal expression of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in serum has received considerable attention in health monitoring and disease diagnosis. However, conventional optical analysis based on a single signal must compromise background interference and limited sensitivity in trace analysis. As an alternative candidate, the ratiometric approach depends on the self-calibration of two independent signals in a single test to minimize interferences from the background for accurate identification. Here, a carbon dot/cobalt-metal organic framework nanocoral (CD/Co-MOF NC) mediated fluorescence-scattering ratiometric sensor has been developed for simple, stable, and highly sensitive detection of ALP. ALP-responsive phosphate production was used to coordinate cobalt ion and collapse the CD/Co-MOF NC, resulting in the recovery of fluorescence signal from dissociative CDs and the decrease of second-order scattering (SOS) signal from the cracked CD/Co-MOF NC. The ligand-substituted reaction and the optical ratiometric signal transduction provide a rapid and reliable chemical sensing mechanism. The ratiometric sensor effectively converted ALP into a ratio signal of fluorescence-scattering dual emission throughout a wide linear concentration range of six orders of magnitude with a detection limit of 0.6 mU/L. In addition, self-calibration of fluorescence-scattering ratiometric method can reduce background interference and improve sensitivity in serum, approaching recoveries of ALP from 98.4% to 101.8%. Due to the above advantages, the CD/Co-MOF NC mediated fluorescence-scattering ratiometric sensor readily provides rapid and stable quantitative detection of ALP as a promising in vitro analytical method for clinical diagnostics.

Abstract
Compared with single signal detection, a ratiometric biosensor could offer more accurate and reliable results. Here, a ratiometric electrochemical biosensor for the sensitive and accurate detection of dopamine was developed based on the strong adsorption ability of MXene-Au toward methylene blue, an inner reference element. This ratiometric sensing strategy opened up a new avenue for the development of a ratiometric platform.

Abstract
Recently, two-dimensional (2D) MXenes materials have received enormous attention because of their excellent physiochemical properties such as high carrier mobility, metallic electrical conductivity, mechanical properties, transparency, and tunable work function. MXenes play a significant role as additives, charge transfer layers, and conductive electrodes for optoelectronic applications. Particularly, titanium carbide (Ti3C2Tx) MXene demonstrates excellent optoelectronic features, tunable work function, good electron affinity, and high conductivity. The Ti3C2Tx has been widely used as electron transport (ETL) or hole transport layers (HTL) in the development of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Additionally, Ti3C2Tx has excellent electrochemical properties and has been widely explored as sensing material for the development of electrochemical biosensors. In this review article, we have summarized the recent advances in the development of the PSCs using Ti3C2Tx MXene as ETL and HTL. We have also compiled the recent progress in the fabrication of biosensors using Ti3C2Tx-based electrode materials. We believed that the present mini review article would be useful to provide a deep understanding, and comprehensive insight into the research status.

Abstract
To sensitively monitor trace amounts of alternariol (AOH) in fruits, a dual-mode aptamer sensor utilizing the dual-function nanomaterial PoPD/Ru-Au was developed. This sensor provides both electrochemical (EC) and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) signals, which can greatly avoid the potential false positive of the traditional single signal, thus enhancing the accuracy and reliability of detection results. Polyo-phenylenediamine (PoPD), known for its favorable EC response, can also assist in enhancing the ECL behavior of Ru-Au. Furthermore, Ru-Au demonstrates excellent ECL performance and effectively activates K2S2O8 to amplify the EC response of PoPD. The complementary effect of the two can effectively amplify the final detection signal. Additionally, the PoPD/Ru-Au nanomaterial exhibits excellent electrical conductivity, further enhancing the EC and ECL response signals. The experimental results demonstrate that the EC detection range of AOH was 0.01-100 ng/mL, while the ECL detection range was 0.001-100 ng/mL, both exhibiting a satisfactory linear relationship. Therefore, the mutual verification of the detection results can be highly realized, and the purpose of avoiding wrong detection can be achieved.

Abstract
In order to solve the problem of easy aggregation of copper oxides in environmental remediation, it is an effective method to confine copper oxides to suitable substrates. Herein, we design a novel Cu2O/Cu@MXene composite with a nanoconfinement structure, and it can effectively activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to produce .OH for degradation tetracycline (TC). Results indicated that the MXene with extraordinary multilayer structure and surface negativity could fix the Cu2O/Cu nanoparticles in the layer spaces and suppress the agglomeration of nanoparticles. The removal efficiency of TC reached 99.14 % within 30 min, and the pseudo-first-order reaction kinetic constant was 0.1505 min-1, which was 3.2 times that of Cu2O/Cu alone. The outstanding catalytic performance attributed that the MXene based on Cu2O/Cu@MXene could promote the adsorption of TC and electron transmittal between Cu2O/Cu nanoparticles. Furthermore, the degradation efficiency of TC was still over 82 % after five cycles. In addition, based on the degradation intermediates provided by LC-MS, two specific degradation pathways were proposed. This study provides a new reference for suppressing the agglomeration of nanoparticles, and broadens the application of MXene materials in the field of environmental remediation.

Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1257:341119.

Abstract
An ultra-selective and reproductive ratiometric platform was introduced based on the ratio of Ru(phen)32+ electrochemiluminescence (ECL) signal and methylene blue (MB) electrochemistry (EC) signal, which was amplified using a specific and efficient toehold-mediated strand displacement (TMSD). The stable DNA nanoclews (NCs) were efficiently loaded with MB (MB-NCs) as EC signal tags after being synthesized utilizing a simple rolling circle amplification reaction. Besides, Ti3C2-based nanocomposite could apply as a superb carrier for both Ru(phen)32+ and gold nanoparticles (Ti3C2-Au-Ru), resulting in a nearly constant ECL internal reference to eliminate the possible interferences. The Ti3C2-Au-Ru was attached to the surface of the electrode using Nafion, which exhibited excellent conductivity, and hairpin DNAs (hDNAs) were fixed on AuNPs via an Au-S bond. The designed biosensor was finally applied for miRNA-18a detection as a target model. The TMSD method made it possible to concurrently convert and amplify a single miRNA-18ainput into a large amount of output DNAs with high selectivity. These output DNAs were designed to unfold the stem-locked area of hDNAs. The opened hDNAs then hybridized with the MB-NCs to produce an EC signal. In the proposed biosensing system, by raising the target concentration of miRNA, the EC signal gradually rose, the ECL signal remained nearly constant, and the ratiometric detection method markedly promoted biosensor accuracy. Linear correlations of the ratio value of the EC/ECL with miRNA-18a concentrations between 20 aM and 50 pMwere observed, with the limit of detection of 9 aM. The biosensor was applied to detect miRNA-18a in real serum samples with satisfactory results.

Abstract
Rational tailoring of hollow and porous bimetallic structures with excellent electrocatalytic performance is appealing yet challenging. Further, combining independent bimetallic nanoparticles with flexible two-dimensional substrate by forming stable heterocomplex is still highly desired for electrocatalysis. Herein, hierarchical PtCu alloy octahedrons with hollow interiors and nanosheet-assembled nanoshells were synthesized by a facile and efficient chemical transformation strategy using Cu2O as sacrificial templates. Such octahedral PtCu nanocages displayed significantly enhanced electrocatalytic activity owing to their unique hollow and porous architectures which provided easy access for analytes to the catalyst surface. Thereafter, introduction of Ti3C2Tx MXene was realized via simple incubation of Ti3C2Tx in solution containing the 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane-capped PtCu, and their electrostatic interaction guaranteed the firm adsorption of PtCu nanocages on Ti3C2Tx nanosheets. It turned out that the sensitivity of the hybrid sensor was remarkably improved for electrochemical monitoring of endocrine disrupting pollutants in water, exhibiting ultrawide linear ranges and sub-nanomole detection limits. The eminent electrode performance is attributed to the high specific area, fast electrochemical kinetics, decent electrical catalytic ability, and the synergistic effect between Pt, Cu, and MXene.

Abstract
Soil and water contamination by numerous pollutants has been increasingly posing threats to food, water, agriculture, and human health. Using novel nanoscale materials to develop rapid electrochemical sensors is very promising due to the discovery of a number of new two-dimensional (2D) electronic materials. Of particular importance is 2D transition-metal carbide MXene that has been shown to possess transformative properties pertaining to its physical, chemical, and environmental characteristics, leading to their potential sensor applications. Designing electrochemical sensors using MXene has the potential to pave the way for monitoring environmental pollutants. Here, a stacked layer of chemically exfoliated MXene (Ti3C2T x ) was demonstrated as an electrochemical sensor for detection of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) with high sensitivity and a low limit of detection. Successful selective exfoliation of the MAX (Ti3AlC2) phase of the material by chemical etching without oxidation is shown to be the key to achieving higher sensitivity and a lower detection limit. In the optimal conditions, the proposed MXene sensor electrodes were capable of detecting 4-NP in a broad concentration range from 500 nM to 100 μM with a good linear sensing range (regression fit, R = 0.995). The higher sensitivity and notable limit of detection reached about 16.35 μA μM-1 cm-2 and 42 nM/L, respectively, with good reproducibility and repeatability. The real-time application of the proposed MXene sensor electrodes was confirmed by testing in tap water samples with excellent recoveries of 95-99%.

Abstract
Immunosensor is a promising tool for natural parathion-methyl (PTM) detection, and its analytical advantages can be magnified by introducing flexibly-fabricating technique. Herein, we present a dual-electric-field PTM immunosensor on highly-compatible screen-printed electrode (SPE). MXene-Au, the product of in-situ gold nanoparticle growth on MXene, provides considerable binding sites for PTM antigen (ATG) and methylene blue (MB). During sensing, the MXene-Au-MB-ATG probe competitively binds antibody against PTM, composing a ratiometric immune-system. With DC-biased sine excitations from complementary waveforms, on-chip electric field couple improves immunoreactions among PTM, probe, and antibody. Electric field distribution is programmed by trimming bypass resistors to pursue optimal performance. Probe synthesis is solidly proven with morphological examinations, and competition mechanism between the probe and target PTM is clarified in electrochemical analyses. Remarkably, this method brings less consumption of immune time than electric-field-free or solo-electric-field setup (50 s vs. 900 or 70 s), and simultaneously provides more powerful ratiometric signal than the rivals. Log-linear relationship, between PTM level and sensor readout, is established in 0.02-38 ng/mL, and limit of detection is found as 0.01 ng/mL. This method is applied in laboratorial and natural PTM analyses, and the readouts are consistent with high performance liquid chromatography and recovery test.

Abstract
Herein, we develop a hemin-functionalized microfluidic chip with dual-electric signal outputs for accurate determination of uric acid (UA). Hemin is designed as the catalyst, which could trigger a built-in reference signal. Carbon nanotube (CNT) and alkalinized titanium carbide (alk-Ti3C2Tx) are used as attachment substrates to strengthen the signal. Benefiting from the synergistic action of hemin, CNT, and alk-Ti3C2Tx, the hybrid functionalized sensor shows prominent electrochemical capacity, desirable catalytic activity, and unique built-in signal ability. Through density functional theory calculations, the structure-reactivity relationship and possible signal output mechanism are deeply investigated. The functionalized sensor is further integrated into a microfluidic chip to prepare a portable electrochemical sensing platform, in which multiple sample processing steps including primary filtration, target enrichment, and reliable analysis can be conducted step-by-step. Based on the abovementioned designs, the developed functionalized microfluidic platform presents desirable performance in UA determination with a detection limit of 0.41 μM. Furthermore, it is capable of accurately detecting UA in urine samples, providing a promising idea for biomolecule monitoring.

Abstract
Although the evaporation efficiency of photothermal materials (PMs) in pure water and brine solutions has been extensively studied, there few research on the performance in complex oily wastewater. Herein, a new monolithic solar steam generator derived from kapok fiber-based MXene composite aerogel (named as KFs-MXene) was fabricated by dipping the aerogels (KFs) which composed of kapok fiber and sodium alginate (SA) as substrates in the suspension of MXene. Benefitting from the outstanding light absorption (about 97%), better thermal insulation (thermal conductivity, 0.05039 W m-1 K-1), abundant porosity (95.60%) and rapid water transportation. KFs-MXene show good interfacial solar steam generation (ISSG) performance, resulting in a high water evaporation rate of 1.47 kg m-2h-1 with an outstanding evaporation efficiency of 90.4% under 1 kW m-2 irradiation. To improve the antifouling performance of KFs-MXene, chemically hydrophilic and oleophobic modification was applied, making the KFs-MXene can also be widely used in oily wastewater. Under 1 kW m-2 illumination, the evaporation rate and energy conversion efficiency of KFs-MXene with hydrophilic and oleophobic modification (O-KFs-MXene) in 1 wt% oily water can reach to 1.40 kg m-2h-1 and 82.87%, and the evaporation efficiency and rate of O-KFs-MXene remain stable in the continuous 6 h solar driven interface evaporation process.

Abstract
A stable ratiometric electrochemical sensor is introduced for the selective detection of carbendazim (CBD). Specifically, the proposed sensor employs a Co@Mo2C bimetallic nanomaterial as the glassy carbon electrode substrate and a layer of molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was in situ fabricated on glassy carbon electrode by electropolymerization, with o-aminophenol as the functional monomer and CBD acting as template. A ratiometric MIP sensor was constructed by adding ferrocene (Fc) internal reference directly to the sample solution. The bimetallic nanomaterials provide a large loading platform for the MIP layer through synergistic effects, amplifying the signal. Excellent CBD binding selectivity is achieved by the templating effect of the three-dimensional (3D) MIP layer. The internal standard is added directly to the electrolyte solution to be tested, allowing the new type of ratiometric electrochemical sensor to avoid the cumbersome steps of other methods and reducing the difficulty and human error of the experimental procedure. Combining a ratiometric strategy with a 3D MIP structure realises the dual-signal detection of CBD. The optimised sensor showed an excellent linear relationship between 0.01 and 1 000 μM, with a correlation coefficient of 0.997 and a detection limit of 3.4 nM (S/N = 3).

Abstract
In this paper, a MOF derivative Cu-PF6-MOF composed of transition metal copper and ionic liquid [BMIM] PF6 was used to construct a ratiometric electrochemical sensor for paracetamol detection. Cu-PF6-MOF was synthesized by chemical bath method and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). Owing to the introduction of ionic liquid [BMIM] PF6 and the synthetic effect on transition metal copper and ionic liquid [BMIM] PF6, Cu-PF6-MOF has the higher conductivity, larger electroactive surface area and better intrinsic catalytic properties of the skeletal transition metal, exhibiting enhanced electrocatalytic response to the reduction of paracetamol. The stable reduction peak at -104 mV was used as the ratiometric signal for analytical paracetamol detection using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), with a linear range of 0.1-100 μM and a detection limit of 0.03 μM (S/N = 3). In addition, the constructed sensor showed good reproducibility, stability and interference resistance, as well as ideal recoveries (98.20%-104.40%) for the analysis of paracetamol in water samples.

Abstract
Conventional molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP)-based electrochemical sensors are generally susceptible to the changes of personal operation, electrode surface, and solution conditions. Herein, a ratiometric strategy was employed through introducing Cu2O nanoparticles (NPs) as inner reference probe to realize the reliable detection of diethylstilbestrol (DES). MIP film was prepared by electropolymerization of 1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylicacid in the presence of DES on carbon nanotubes/cuprous oxide/titanium carbide (CNT/Cu2O NPs/Ti3C2Tx) modified electrodes. The Ti3C2Tx with accordion-like structure not only possessed good electrical conductivity, but also facilitated the immobilization of Cu2O NPs, which contributed to stabilizing the signal. CNT was introduced to further improve the sensitivity of the sensor. Under optimum conditions, the MIP/CNT/Cu2O NPs/Ti3C2Tx electrochemical sensors showed a broad linear response range of 0.01 to 70 μM, and a low detection limit of 6 nM (S/N = 3). Moreover, the sensor was applied to detect DES in real samples including lake water, milk, and pork, and the recoveries for spiked standard were 88-112%. Thus, this work provides a new way for reliable DES detection.

Abstract
The present electrochemical stripping analysis (ESA) for multiple heavy metal ions (HMI) generally requires an electrodeposition process at a very low potential below -1.0 V, which inevitably makes the sensing procedures more complex, inefficient and power-wasting. Meanwhile, the emerging MXenes rising-star materials have been studied in various fields recently. While there are only few reports focusing on the heteroatom doping of MXenes, especially no doping-MXenes for electroanalysis. Based on these issues, a novel multifunctional heteroatoms-doped MXenes nanomaterial, N and P co-doped Ti3C2Tx MXenes nanoribbons (N,P-Ti3C2TxR), was prepared herein for the first time, and then N,P-Ti3C2TxR was used as electrode material to propose an electrodeposition-free ESA strategy for multiple HMI (Cu2+, Hg2+). Owing to the unique spontaneous adsorption and reducing capacities of N,P-Ti3C2TxR towards Cu2+ and Hg2+ coupled with the excellent sensing performances, Cu2+ and Hg2+ can undergo self-reduction to be preconcentrated on N,P-Ti3C2TxR surface with the form of Cu0 and Hg0, thus a simple and ultrasensitive electrodeposition-free ESA platform was developed successfully for the simultaneous detection of Cu2+and Hg2+. This work opened a new pathway for the detection for multiple HMI and the preparation/application of heteroatoms doping MXenes.

Abstract
Organophosphorus pesticides were easily remained in fruits and vegetables which would be harm to the environmental safety and human health. In recent years, due to the simple preparation process, fast response and high sensitivity, the electrochemical (bio)sensors have received increasing attention, which were extensively used as the sensing platform for the detection of OPPs. The mechanisms for the determination of OPPs mainly included redox of nitrophenyl OPPs, enzyme hydrolysis and inhibition, immunosensor, aptasensor. Nowadays, the mainly explored electrode material has focused on metal-organic frameworks, metal and metal derivatives, carbon materials (carbon nanotube, graphene, g-C3N4), MXene, etc. These nanomaterials played important roles in the electrochemical (bio)sensors, which included: (a) as an electrocatalyst to promote the redox reaction, (b) as a carrier to load the enzyme or aptamer, (c) as a recognizer to identify the targets. The nanomaterials-based electrochemical (bio)sensor was a rapid, cost-effective methods to detect OPPs with high sensitivity. Besides, this review compared the analytical performance of different nanomaterials-based electrochemical (bio)sensors, and also identified the key challenges in the future. It would provide new ideas and insights to the further development and application of electrochemical (bio)sensors and the detection of pesticides in real samples.

Abstract
Fabricating new biosensing constructs with high selectivity and sensitivity is the most needed environmental detection tool. In this context, several nanostructured materials have been envisaged to construct biosensors to achieve superior selectivity and sensitivity. Among them, MXene is regarded as the most promising to develop biosensors due to its fascinating attributes, like high surface area, excellent thermal resistance, good hydrophilicity, unique layered topology, high electrical conductivity, and environmentally-friendlier properties. MXenes-based materials have emerged as a prospective for catalysis, energy storage, electronics, and environmental sensing and remediation applications thanks to the above-mentioned exceptional characteristics. This review elaborates on the contemporary and state-of-the-art advancements in MXene-based electrochemical and biosensing tools to detect toxic elements, pharmaceutically active residues, and pesticide contaminants from environmental matrices. At first, the surface functionalization/modification of MXenes is discussed. Afterwards, a particular focus has been devoted to exploiting MXene to construct electrochemical (bio) sensors to detect various environmentally-related pollutants. Lastly, current challenges in this arena accompanied by potential solutions and directions are also outlined.

Abstract
5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is an important neurotransmitter, and its content in the human body is of great significance to human health. In this study, an l-cysteine-terminated triangular silver nanoplate loaded on a MXene (two-dimensional transition metal carbide or nitride) (Tri-AgNP/l-Cys/MXene) electrochemical sensor was used to detect 5-HT. As an electrically active amino acid with a sulfhydryl group, l-cysteine (l-Cys) forms a more stable Ag-S bond with silver nanoparticles, which can selectively substitute trisodium citrate (TSC) in TSC-capped triangular silver nanoplates (Tri-Ag-NP/TSC). Due to the good conductivity, biocompatibility, and large surface area, MXenes provide a good platform for loading Tri-AgNP/l-Cys. Under optimized conditions, the concentration range for detecting 5-HT with the sensor is 0.5-150 μM, and the limit of detection (LOD) is 0.08 μM (S/N = 3). For detecting 5-HT in actual serum samples, the sensor also showed a good recovery rate (95.38-102.3%), and the relative standard deviation was 2.2-3.4%.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides, carbonitrides, and nitrides (MXene) have emerged as a rising family of atomic layered nanomaterials which undergoes intensive investigations in interdisciplinary applications. The large surface-to-volume ratio, excellent mechanical strength, desirable biocompatibility, along with tunable electronic and optical properties, render 2D MXenes exceptional attractive as versatile nanoplatforms for biosensing. Herein, advanced progress and novel paradigms of MXene-based biosensors are reviewed, focusing on the combination of MXenes with various detection techniques that promotes target recognition and signal transducing. Regarding the nature of transducing signals, MXene-based biosensors are categorized into two groups where MXenes serve as electrical platforms or optical platforms, respectively. The merits of MXenes are critically compared with other 2D materials to illustrate the distinctive advantages of MXenes in biosensing, while challenges such as environmental vulnerability was discussed to guide the sensor design. Facing with the rapid development of wearable electronics and internet of medical things, as well as escalating demanding in precision medicine, perspectives are provided to elucidate the potential of MXenes in propelling advances in these trending biomedical applications.

Abstract
Electrochemical nanosensors by integrating functional nucleic acids and nanomaterials hold a great promise in the fast detection of biomarkers, yet the current systems possess limitations on the accessibility of target-probe and probe-electrode interactions and the repeatability of detection. Herein, a host-guest assembly strategy is developed to build redox nanosensors for an immobilization-free and ratiometric electrochemical detection system. Specifically, electroactive molecule (Em ) guests are loaded in porous hosts of polydopamine nanoparticles (MPDA) to act as dual-signal redox reporters. Hybrid DNA probes of G-quadruplex and a single-stranded anchor DNA are installed as gatekeepers for sealing the mesopores. Thereby, miRNA triggered Em release by strand displacement reactions and the homogeneous transportation of the hosts/guests to the electrode facilitate the generation of reference signal/response signal at different potentials. Concomitantly applied NIR irradiation boosts the electron transfer from MPDA to the electrode and results in a tenfold increase in the reference signal. Finally, the sensing system through the differential pulse voltammetry method achieves a highly repeatable detection (relative standard deviation 3.8%) of miRNA with a lower detection limit (362 × 10-15 m). This attractive system paves the way for rational designs of advanced electrochemical biosensors and smart diagnosis.

Abstract
In this work, MoO2 nanoparticles were synthesized and annealed to form Mo2C nanoparticles. This is the first report of a ratiometric electrochemical sensor (R-ECS) for the detection of acetaminophen (AP), in which Mo2C is used as the sensing agent and ferrocene (FC) is used as an internal reference. FC (100 μM) is added directly to the electrolyte solution for convenient operation. The synthesized materials were fully characterized with respect to composition, morphology and electrochemical performance. The oxidation peak potentials of FC (0.196 V) and AP (0.364 V) can be completely separated by the Mo2C modified glassy carbon electrode, and their ratiometric signals are used for the quantification of AP. It was found that the oxidation peak currents of AP at separated potentials on Mo2C/GCE are linear with concentration in the range of 0.5-600 μM, and the detection limit is 0.029 μM (S/N = 3). Mo2C/GCE exhibited decent repeatability, reproducibility, stability, and selectivity. The sensor was then applied to measure AP in tap water and river water.

Abstract
A universal strategy for the construction of ratiometric antifouling electrochemical biosensors was developed based on multifunctional peptides and 2D nanomaterial MXene loaded with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and methylene blue (MB). The nanocomposite of MXene loaded with AuNPs and MB (MXene-Au-MB) exhibited excellent conductivity, where the AuNPs were able to capture biomolecules containing sulfhydryl terminus, and the MB molecules were used to generate electrochemical signal. The MXene-Au-MB was fixed on the electrode surface by Nafion, and the anchored peptide captured the electrochemical signal probe carboxyl-modified ferrocene (Fc) to construct an electrochemical biosensor. The multifunctional peptide containing the anchoring, antifouling, and recognizing sequences endowed the sensing surface not only the assaying function but also the capability to resist nonspecific adsorption from complex samples. In the biosensing system, with the increase in the target concentration, the electrochemical signal of MB remained constant, whereas the electrochemical signal of Fc gradually decreased, and the ratiometric detection strategy greatly improved the accuracy of the biosensor. In the presence of a model target prostate-specific antigen (PSA), the recognizing sequence was recognized and cleaved, and the ratiometric signal of Fc and MB indicated the concentration of PSA accurately and sensitively, with a detection range from 5 pg/mL to 10 ng/mL and a limit of detection of 0.83 pg/mL. Electrochemical biosensors based on the MXene-Au-MB and multifunctional peptides possessed high selectivity, accuracy, and sensitivity even in real complex biological samples because of the excellent antifouling ability of the peptide. More importantly, the assaying of other targets can be easily realized with a similar biosensing strategy by changing the recognition sequence of the multifunctional peptide, and the detection of thrombin (TB) has also been achieved in this work.

Abstract
In this paper, a novel ratiometric electrochemical sensor for carbendazim (CBZ) detection was constructed by a composite of MXene@Ag nanoclusters and amino-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MXene@AgNCs/NH2-MWCNTs). The Ag nanoclusters (AgNCs) embedded in the MXene not only could inhibit the aggregation of MXene flakes and enhance the electrocatalytic ability, but also serve as an internal reference probe for the ratiometric electrochemical detection. Moreover, the introduction of NH2-MWCNTs can further improve the electrochemical signals of CBZ and Ag, resulting in the enhanced signal amplification and higher sensitivity. Based on these characteristics of the MXene@AgNCs/NH2-MWCNTs composite, the proposed sensor exhibits a favorable linear relationship between ICBZ/IAgNCs and the concentration of CBZ ranging from 0.3 nM to 10 μM and a low limit of detection of 0.1 nM. Moreover, the proposed ratiometric electrochemical sensing platform also demonstrates high selectivity, good reproducibility, secular stability, and satisfactory applicability in vegetable samples.

Abstract
Electrochemical biosensors are an increasingly attractive option for the development of a novel analyte detection method, especially when integration within a point-of-use device is the overall objective. In this context, accuracy and sensitivity are not compromised when working with opaque samples as the electrical readout signal can be directly read by a device without the need for any signal transduction. However, electrochemical detection can be susceptible to substantial signal drift and increased signal error. This is most apparent when analysing complex mixtures and when using small, single-use, screen-printed electrodes. Over recent years, analytical scientists have taken inspiration from self-referencing ratiometric fluorescence methods to counteract these problems and have begun to develop ratiometric electrochemical protocols to improve sensor accuracy and reliability. This review will provide coverage of key developments in ratiometric electrochemical (bio)sensors, highlighting innovative assay design, and the experiments performed that challenge assay robustness and reliability.

Abstract
Signal amplification is one of the most effective ways to develop the high-performance electrochemical sensors. However, it can be more complicated for ratiometric detections. Herein, a ratiometric electrochemical aptasensor for aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) was proposed by taking advantage of a dual-amplification strategy by coupling of DNA walker (DW) with hybridization chain reaction (HCR). The special binding of AFB1 with ferrocene (Fc)-labelled aptamer triggers DW on hairpin DNA (hDNA) tracks to produce abundant double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). HCR-based strand amplification occurs on these dsDNA to absorb more methylene blue (MB). Then current ratio of MB (IMB) and Fc (IFc) is designed as a yardstick to detect AFB1. Our experiments reveal that the interaction between Fc and MB (i.e., steric hindrance, electron mediator) varies. In addition to steric hindrance, the presence of MB also acts as electron mediator, thereby facilitating the electron transfer between Fc and electrode. Such combined effect consequently depresses the efficiency of dual-amplification strategy to improve the detection. The developed ratiometric electrochemical aptasensor allows the accurate detection of AFB1 in the 0.003-3 pg mL-1 range. Our work has shed light on the amplification strategy for ratiometric sensing, and provided a new route in integrating different amplification strategies.

Abstract
Water scarcity has become an increasingly complex challenge with the growth of the global population, economic expansion, and climate change, highlighting the demand for advanced water treatment technologies that can provide clean water in a scalable, reliable, affordable, and sustainable manner. Recent advancements on 2D nanomaterials (2DM) open a new pathway for addressing the grand challenge of water treatment owing to their unique structures and superior properties. Emerging 2D nanostructures such as graphene, MoS2, MXene, h-BN, g-C3N4, and black phosphorus have demonstrated an unprecedented surface-to-volume ratio, which promises ultralow material use, ultrafast processing time, and ultrahigh treatment efficiency for water cleaning/monitoring. In this review, we provide a state-of-the-art account on engineered 2D nanomaterials and their applications in emerging water technologies, involving separation, adsorption, photocatalysis, and pollutant detection. The fundamental design strategies of 2DM are discussed with emphasis on their physicochemical properties, underlying mechanism and targeted applications in different scenarios. This review concludes with a perspective on the pressing challenges and emerging opportunities in 2DM-enabled wastewater treatment and water-quality monitoring. This review can help to elaborate the structure-processing-property relationship of 2DM, and aims to guide the design of next-generation 2DM systems for the development of selective, multifunctional, programmable, and even intelligent water technologies. The global significance of clean water for future generations sheds new light and much inspiration in this rising field to enhance the efficiency and affordability of water treatment and secure a global water supply in a growing portion of the world.

Abstract
The programed bimodal photoelectrochemical (PEC)-sensing platform based on DNA structural switching induced by targets binding to aptamers was innovatively designed for the simultaneous detection of mucin 1 (MUC1) and microRNA 21 (miRNA-21). To promote excellent current intensity as well as enhance the sensitivity of aptasensors, the evenly distributed WO3/Fe2O3 heterojunction was prepared as a transducer material, notably reducing the background signal response and extending the absorption of light. The multifunctional paper-based biocathode was assembled to provide a visual colorimetric assay. When introducing the integrated signal probe (ISP) composed of signal probe 1 (sP1) and signal probe 2 (sP2) on paper-based working units modified with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), recognition sites of two targets were formed. In the presence of MUC1 protein, both sP1 and the target on the working unit were released into the corresponding colorimetric unit because of the DNA specific recognition. The horseradish peroxidase-streptavidin (HRP-SA) carried by free sP1 could oxidize 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to turn a blue-colored oxidized TMB (oxTMB) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which ultimately gained a higher photocurrent signal. Furthermore, miRNA-21 was modified on another working unit by binding with sP2, leading to changes in the current signal and thus enabling real-time detection of analytes with the assistance of a digital multimeter. The PEC aptasensor offered a wide dynamic range of 10 fg·mL-1-100 ng mL-1 for MUC1 and 0.1 pM-10 nM for miRNA-21, with a low detection limit of 3.4 fg·mL-1 and 36 fM, respectively. It laid the foundation for synchronous detection of multiple analytes and initiated a new way for the enhancement in modern next-generation disease diagnosis.

Abstract
Recent advancements in two-dimensional materials have brought MXene (Ti3C2) into attention due to its exciting properties as a very promising material for various applications. In this work, we report a novel Ti3C2 nanobipyramid (Ti3C2 NB) structure obtained through a three-step process involving exfoliation, delamination, and subsequent hydrothermal treatment. The morphological and textural properties at each step of synthesis were studied using an array of experimental techniques such as transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy and the chemical properties through X-ray diffraction, Raman, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis. The Ti3C2 NBs exhibit fluorescence with an excitation-dependent emission. Further, the effect of temperature and pH on the fluorescence was also investigated, which opens up its scope in bioanalytical applications. Ti3C2 NBs showed a ∼43% increase in photoluminescence intensity from pH 3 to 11 while a ∼38% increase with the temperature from 20 to 80 °C. Usually, MXenes are highly susceptible to oxidation, but the Ti3C2 NBs were found to be chemically and optically stable even after 30 days. Bestowed with good hydrophilicity, the material exhibited high biocompatibility on the mouse fibroblast cell line L929. Further, L929 cells also showed good cellular adhesion on a Ti3C2 NB-modified glass substrate. These properties pave a way for its multifunctional ability as a sensor for pH and temperature as well as bioimaging.

Abstract
To overcome the problem of incorrect levodopa (LD) dosage in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, a new analytical tool is urgently needed for accurately determining the concentration of LD in human fluids. Herein, an effective and stable sensor based on a Co-single-atomic-site catalyst (Co-SASC)-modified glassy carbon electrode (Co-SASC/GCE) was developed for the determination of LD concentration. The physicochemical characterization of Co-SASC is systematically investigated. It has excellent thermal stability, graphitization degree, and a large specific surface area. Benefiting from its porous structure for kinetically fast catalysis and component advantages for fix a single cobalt atom to improve stability, Co-SASC/GCE exhibits a superior electrochemical response. Under optimal conditions (pH 2.0, coating amount is 10 μg), an ideal linear relationship is achieved between the logarithm of the peak current of the sensor and the logarithm of LD concentration. The linear range is 0.1-200 μM, and the limit of detection (LOD) is 0.033 μM. After a simple pretreatment, LD in human serum is detected by Co-SASC/GCE with excellent stability and selectivity. As such, this work enlarges the existing electrochemical sensor toolbox by offering a reasonable design and synthesis protocol for advanced materials to accurately determine LD in human fluids for the clinical treatment of Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
A sensitive virus detection method applicable for an early stage increases the probability of survival. Here, we develop a simple and rapid detection strategy for the detection of the hepatitis E virus (HEV) by an electrocatalytic water oxidation reaction (WOR) using a platinum (Pt)-incorporated cobalt (Co)-based zeolite imidazole framework (ZIF-67). The surface cavity of ZIF-67 enables the rich loading of Pt NPs, and subsequent calcination etches the cavity, promoting the electrocatalytic activity of Pt-Co3O4 HCs. The Pt-Co3O4 HCs show excellent behavior for the WOR due to the synergistic interaction of Pt and Co3O4, evaluated by voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The synthesized Pt-Co3O4 HCs are conjugated with anti-HEV antibody (Ab@Pt-Co3O4 HCs); the electrocatalytic activity of Ab@Pt-Co3O4 HCs is combined with that of antibody-conjugated magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) for HEV detection by a magneto-and-nanocomposite sandwich immunoassay. The sensor is challenged to detect the HEV in spiked serum samples and HEV G7 genotypes collected from the cell culture supernatant, reaching a low limit of detection down to 61 RNA copies mL-1. This work establishes a free-indicator one-step approach with the controlled design of Pt-Co3O4 HCs, which presents an effective WOR technique for virus detection in a neutral pH solution, which can be extended to electrocatalytic studies in the future integrated biosensing systems.
