Abstract
Response mechanism of the electrode is elucidated in terms of (hydrogen) phosphate accelerating oxidation of CoII to CoIII for the first time. Cyclic voltammetric techniques in conjunction with XRD, XPS and Raman characterizations have demonstrated unambiguously the response of cobalt (II) hydroxide electrode involves a phosphate and hydrogen ion dependent charge transfer process. Phosphate ions induce Co(OH)2 transformed into CoOOH within interlayer adsorption and restored the initial state after reduction. Meanwhile, the in common structural between Co(OH)2 and CoOOH prevents extensive structural convertibility upon cycling, result in the advantage of reversibility in phase transformation. Demonstrated sustainable technique offered the determination of phosphate with robust reproducibility (1000 cycles), long storage stability (6 months) and selectivity (potential interference: Cl-, NO3-, SO42- and HCO3-), achieving a detection limit of 5 × 10-8 M over a wide linear range up to 1.28 mM. Presented work provided insights into the unique selectivity towards phosphate in cobalt based sensors, which may inspire the rational design of Co(OH)2-based electrodes with superior electrochemical performance or extended applications.

Improved electrochemical detection of levofloxacin in diverse aquatic samples using 3D flower-like Co@CaPO 4 nanospheres. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 343:123189.

Abstract
The misuse of antibiotics has become a concerning environmental issue, posing a significant threat to public health. Levofloxacin (LFX), a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, is particularly worrisome due to its detrimental impact on human health and the ecosystem. Therefore, the selective and accurate identification of LFX is of utmost importance. In this study, we have developed an electrochemical sensor based on cobalt-doped calcium phosphate (Co@CaHPO) for the sensitive and selective detection of LFX in various water samples. Under optimized conditions, the Co@CaHPO-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) exhibited exceptional electrochemical activity, low charge transfer resistance, and a fast electron transfer rate, outperforming the unmodified GCE. The proposed Co@CaHPO-modified GCE demonstrated remarkable electrochemical characteristics, including a wide linear range (0.3-460 μM) and a lower detection limit (0.151 μM) with high sensitivity (0.676 μAμM-1 cm2). This detection approach may enable the direct detection of LFX in the pharmaceutical environment. Furthermore, the resulting sensor exhibited good selectivity, excellent cyclic and storage stability, reproducibility, and repeatability. The practical application of this LFX sensor can be extended to various water samples, yielding reliable and satisfactory results.

Abstract
In this work, an upconversion luminescence (UCL) nanosensor for fast detection of ferric ion (Fe3+) and phosphate ion (Pi) is developed based on the inner-filter effect (IFE) between NaYF4:Yb/Er upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and Fe3+-hypocrellin B (HB) complex. Fe3+-HB complex has strong absorption band (450-650 nm), which overlaps with the green emission peak of UCNPs at 545 nm. By adding Fe3+ and Pi, the UCNPs-HB system produces the red-shift change of absorption spectrum, which leads to the "on-off-on" process of IFE. So, with the specific recognition ability of HB for Fe3+ and the competitive complexation of Pi for Fe3+, the proposed nanosensor utilizes the UCL change to achieve the detection of the targets. For the detections of Fe3+, the linear range is 10-600 μM with a limit of detection (LOD) of 2.62 μM, and for Pi, the linear range is 5-100 μM with a LOD of 1.25 μM. The results for selectivity, precision, and recovery test are also satisfactory. Furthermore, the real sample detection shows that the proposed nanaosensor has a great potential in environmental and biological systems. An upconversion luminescence (UCL) nanosensor based on the inner-filter effect (IFE) between upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and Fe3+-hypocrellin B (HB) complex for the detection of Fe3+ and phosphate ion has been proposed, which is promising to be a convenient and sensitive assay for monitoring Fe3+ and phosphate ion in different environments and biological systems.

Abstract
Excessive phosphate poses a serious ecological and human health risk, and thereby, monitoring its trace concentration is of great significance to environmental protection and human health. In this work, a zirconium-porphyrin framework (PCN-222) with excellent stability and unique luminescence properties was designed to modify the surface of the indium tin oxide electrode, which was first used as a photoelectrochemical (PEC) probe for phosphate detection. The PCN-222-modified PEC probe demonstrated an excellent selectivity and stability and indicated a linear response to phosphate in the range of 0-106 nM with a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 1.964 nM. To the best of our knowledge, this is the phosphate probe with the lowest LOD, and this is also the first signal-on PEC probe toward phosphate based on PCN-222. More importantly, the PEC probe can be validated for the good applicability of trace phosphate detection in real water samples, indicating a good application prospect. Finally, a series of electrochemical and spectroscopic studies have proved that phosphate can bind to the indium tin oxide (ITO)/PCN-222 electrode, which shortens the distance of the space charge region while reducing the bandwidth and thus facilitates the transfer of photogenerated electrons across the energy band barrier to reduce O2 in the electrolyte, producing an enhanced cathodic photocurrent signal. The proposed strategy of the highly sensitive PEC probe provides a promising platform for more effective label-free phosphate monitoring in the environment and organisms.

Abstract
In the present work, three different Mn2+-doped calcium pyrophosphate (CPP, Ca2P2O7) polymorphs were synthesized by wet co-precipitation method followed by annealing at different temperatures. The crystal structure and purity were studied by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SS-NMR), and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopies. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to investigate the morphological features of the synthesized products. Optical properties were investigated using photoluminescence measurements. Excitation spectra, emission spectra, and photoluminescence decay curves of the samples were studied. All Mn-doped polymorphs exhibited a broadband emission ranging from approximately 500 to 730 nm. The emission maximum was host-dependent and centered at around 580, 570, and 595 nm for γ-, β-, and α-CPP, respectively.

Abstract
An electrochemical sensor for phosphate detection in body fluids was developed based on the hydration transition of magnesium hydrogen phosphate (newberyite, MgHPO4·3H2O). The sensor was fabricated through incubation of a multi-walled carbon nanotube/Nafion (MWCNT/Nafion) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) in magnesium phosphate solution, where MgHPO4·3H2O was self-assembled on the electrode surface (denoted as MgP/MWCNT/Nafion). An electrooxidation peak at 1.0 V vs. Ag/AgCl was observed when the as-prepared electrode was subjected to a differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) scan in the presence of phosphate in acetate solution. When the DPV scan was performed in 0.4 - 1.3 V vs. Ag/AgCl, a linear relationship was observed between the peak height and the phosphate concentration in the range from 0.01 to 25 μM in the presence of 0.1 mM Mg2+ in the acetate solution with a limit of detection of 32 nM. And the sensor was successfully applied for phosphate detection in human urine and saliva samples with recoveries of 94.7 - 104.4 and 96 - 103.3%, respectively.

Abstract
The sensing field has shed light on an urgent necessity for field-deployable, user-friendly, sensitive, and scalable platforms that are able to translate solutions into the real world. Here, we attempt to meet these requests by addressing a simple, low-cost, and fast electrochemical approach to provide sensitive assays that consist of dropping a small volume (0.5 μL) of off-the-shelf alcohols on pyrolyzed paper-based electrodes before adding the sample (150 μL). This method was applied in the detection of phosphate after the formation of the phosphomolybdate complex (250-860 nm in size). Prior drops of isopropanol allow for the fast penetration of the sample through pores of this hydrophobic paper, delivering hindrance-free redox reactions across increasing active areas and ultimately improving the detection performance. The sensitivity (-1.9 10-6 mA cm-2 ppb-1) and limit of detection (1.1 ppb) were improved, respectively, by factors of 33 and 99 over the data achieved without the addition of isopropanol, listing among the lowest values when compared with those results reported in the literature for phosphate (expressed in terms of the concentration of phosphorus). The approach enabled the quantification of this analyte in real samples with accuracies ranging from 87 to 103%. Furthermore, preliminary measurements demonstrated the successful performance of the electrodes with prior addition of other widely used alcohols, that is, methanol and ethanol. These results may extend the applicability of the method. In special, the scalability and eco-friendly character of the electrode fabrication combined with the sensitivity and simplicity of the analyses make the developed platform a promising alternative that may help to pave the way for a new generation of disposable sensors toward the daily monitoring of phosphate in water samples, thus contributing to prevent ecological side effects.

Abstract
Phosphate (PO43-) plays a major role in aquatic ecosystems and biosystems. Developing a highly sensitive and selective ratiometric fluorescence probe for detection of PO43- is of great significance to the ecological environment and human health. In this work, a novel dual lanthanide metal organic framework was synthesized via hydrothermal reaction based on Tb3+ and Ce3+ as the center metal ions and terephthalic acid as the organic ligand (designated as Tb-Ce-MOFs). The fluorescence of Tb-Ce-MOFs shows emission at 375 nm. In the presence of PO43-, with increased concentration of PO43-, the fluorescence intensity of Tb-Ce-MOFs at 500 nm and 550 nm increased, while the intensity at 375 nm was reduced. Hence, ratiometric fluorescence detecting of PO43- can be achieved by measuring the ratio of fluorescence at 550 nm (FL550) to 375 nm (FL375) in the fluorescent spectra of the Tb-Ce-MOFs. In this sensing approach, the Tb-Ce-MOFs probe exhibits highly sensitive and selective for detection of PO43-. The limit of detection is calculated to be 28 nM and the detection range is 0.1 to 10 μM. In addition, the Tb-Ce-MOFs were used in the detection of PO43- in real samples. We design and synthesize a mixed lanthanide metal organic framework fluorescence probe (Tb-Ce-MOFs) for ratiometric fluorescence for the detection of PO43- based on Tb3+ and Ce3+ as the center metal ions and terephthalic acid as the organic ligand.

Abstract
Nutrient pollution remains one of the greatest threats to water quality and imposes numerous public health and ecological concerns. Phosphate, the most common form of phosphorus, is one of the key nutrients necessary for plant growth. However, phosphate concentration in water should be carefully monitored for environmental protection requirements. Hence, an easy-to-use, field-deployable, and reliable device is needed to measure phosphate concentrations in the field. In this study, an inexpensive dip strip is developed for the detection of low concentrations of phosphate in water and seawater. In this device, ascorbic acid/antimony reagent was dried on blotting paper, which served as the detection zone, and was followed by a wet chemistry protocol using the molybdenum method. Ammonium molybdate and sulfuric acid were separately stored in liquid form to significantly improve the lifetime of the device and enhance the reproducibility of its performance. The device was tested with deionized water and Sargasso Sea seawater. The limits of detection and quantification for the optimized device using a desktop scanner were 0.134 ppm and 0.472 ppm for phosphate in water and 0.438 ppm and 1.961 ppm in seawater, respectively. The use of the portable infrared lightbox previously developed at our lab improved the limits of detection and quantification by a factor of three and were 0.156 ppm and 0.769 ppm for the Sargasso Sea seawater. The device's shelf life, storage conditions, and limit of detection are superior to what was previously reported for the paper-based phosphate detection devices.
