Abstract
Water is the key element that defines and individualizes our planet. Relative to body weight, water represents 70% or more for the majority of all species on Earth. Taking care of water as a whole is equivalent with taking care of the entire biodiversity or the whole of humanity itself. Water quality is becoming an increasingly important component of terrestrial life, hence intensive work is being conducted to develop sensors for detecting contaminants and assessing water quality and characteristics. Our bibliometric analysis is focused on water quality sensors based on carbon nanotubes and highlights the most important objectives and achievements of researchers in recent years. Due to important measurement characteristics such as sensitivity and selectivity, or low detection limit and linearity, up to the ability to measure water properties, including detection of heavy metal content or the presence of persistent organic compounds, carbon nanotube (CNT) sensors, taking advantage of available nanotechnologies, are becoming increasingly attractive. The conducted bibliometric analysis creates a visual, more efficient keystones mapping. CNT sensors can be integrated into an inexpensive real-time monitoring data acquisition system as an alternative for classical expensive and time-consuming offline water quality monitoring. The conducted bibliometric analysis reveals all connections and maps all the results in this water quality CNT sensors research field and gives a perspective on the approached methods on this specific type of sensor. Finally, challenges related to integration of other trends that have been used and proven to be valuable in the field of other sensor types and capable to contribute to the development (and outlook) for future new configurations that will undoubtedly emerge are presented.

Abstract
Carbon dots are an emerging family of zero-dimensional nanocarbons behaving as tunable light harvesters and photoactivated charge donors. Coupling them to carbon nanotubes, which are well-known electron acceptors with excellent charge transport capabilities, is very promising for several applications. Here, we first devised a route to achieve the stable electrostatic binding of carbon dots to multi- or single-walled carbon nanotubes, as confirmed by several experimental observations. The photoluminescence of carbon dots is strongly quenched when they contact either semiconductive or conductive nanotubes, indicating a strong electronic coupling to both. Theoretical simulations predict a favorable energy level alignment within these complexes, suggesting a photoinduced electron transfer from dots to nanotubes, which is a process of high functional interest. Femtosecond transient absorption confirms indeed an ultrafast (<100 fs) electron transfer independent of nanotubes being conductive or semiconductive in nature, followed by a much slower back electron transfer (≈60 ps) from the nanotube to the carbon dots. The high degree of charge separation and delocalization achieved in these nanohybrids entails significant photocatalytic properties, as we demonstrate by the reduction of silver ions in solution. The results are very promising in view of using these "all-carbon" nanohybrids as efficient light harvesters for applications in artificial photocatalysis and photosynthesis.

Abstract
The paper reports synthesis of gold-palladium nanowaxberries(AuPd NWs)/dodecylamine-functionalized graphene quantum dots(D-GQDs)-graphene micro-aerogel(GMA). D-GQDs was used as a solid particle surfactant for stabilizing Pickering emulsion of toluene-in-graphene oxide aqueous dispersion. Graphene oxide sheets in the aqueous phase are reduced by hydrazine hydrate, diffused into the toluene droplet and self-assembled into graphene oxide micro-gels. Followed by freeze-drying, thermal annealing and hybridized with AuPd NWs. The as-prepared AuPd NWs/D-GQDs-GMA shows an unique three-dimensional structure with the size of microns. The small size and strong polarity make it can be directly dispersed in ethanol to form stable dispersion for sensor preparation. The hybrid of GMA, D-GQDs and AuPd NWs greatly improves the electron transfer, electroactive surface area and ion diffusion. The architecture of conductor/semiconductor/conductor achieves to a significant amplification of detection signal. The DNA biosensor based on the AuPd NWs/D-GQDs-GMA exhibits ultrasensitive differential pulse voltammetric (DPV) response towards peanut allergen Ara h 1. The DPV signal linearly increases with increasing DNA concentration in the range of 1.0 × 10-22-1.0 × 10-17 M with the detection limit of 4.7 × 10-23 M (S/N = 3). The analytical method was successfully applied to voltammetric determination of peanut allergen Ara h 1 in peanut milk beverage.
