Abstract
The preparation of an electroactive matrix for the immobilization of the bioprobe shows great promise to construct the label-free biosensors. Herein, the electroactive metal-organic coordination polymer has been in-situ prepared by pre-assembly of a layer of trithiocynate (TCY) on a gold electrode (AuE) through Au-S bond, followed by repetitive soaking in Cu(NO3)2 solution and TCY solutions. Then the gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and the thiolated thrombin aptamers were successively assembled on the electrode surface, and thus the electrochemical electroactive aptasensing layer for thrombin was achieved. The preparation process of the biosensor was characterized by an atomic force microscope (AFM), attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR), and electrochemical methods. Electrochemical sensing assays showed that the formation of the aptamer-thrombin complex changed the microenvironment and the electro-conductivity of the electrode interface, causing the electrochemical signal suppression of the TCY-Cu2+ polymer. Additionally, the target thrombin can be label-free analyzed. Under optimal conditions, the aptasensor can detect thrombin in the concentration range from 1.0 fM to 1.0 μM, with a detection limit of 0.26 fM. The spiked recovery assay showed that the recovery of the thrombin in human serum samples was 97.2-103%, showing that the biosensor is feasible for biomolecule analysis in a complex sample.

Abstract
Thrombin plays a central role in hemostasis and its imbalances in coagulation can lead to various pathologies. It is of clinical significance to develop a fast and accurate method for the quantitative detection of thrombin. Electrochemical aptasensors have the capability of combining the specific selectivity from aptamers with the extraordinary sensitivity from electrochemical techniques and thus have attracted considerable attention for the trace-level detection of thrombin. Nanomaterials and nanostructures can further enhance the performance of thrombin aptasensors to achieve high sensitivity, selectivity, and antifouling functions. In highlighting these material merits and their impacts on sensor performance, this paper reviews the most recent advances in label-free electrochemical aptasensors for thrombin detection, with an emphasis on nanomaterials and nanostructures utilized in sensor design and fabrication. The performance, advantages, and limitations of those aptasensors are summarized and compared according to their material structures and compositions.

Abstract
Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a promising method for preparing nanomaterials. The thickness and uniformity of nanomaterials can be precisely controlled. Hence, the uniform Ni nanoparticles (Ni NPs) deposited on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) by ALD and got the optimal combination interface. The morphology, structure, and electrochemical behavior of Ni NPs-rGO nanocomposite are investigated. By experiment results, the Ni NPs could occupy some active surface of rGO, resulting in high conductivity and large specific surface area of Ni NPs-rGO nanocomposite. The Ni NPs-rGO nanocomposite exhibits high electrocatalytic activity for serotonin and speeds up the electron transfer between the surface of the electrode and the solution. Therefore, the sensor is prepared by Ni NPs-rGO nanocomposite modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and used to sensitive detection of serotonin. By differential pulse voltammetric, the Ni NPs-rGO/GCE enhanced the current responses and showed a wide linear range of 0.02-2 μM with a low detection of 0.01 μM for serotonin (S/N = 3). The Ni NPs-rGO/GCE exhibited good stability, selectivity, and anti-interference ability that can be used for real sample detection. According to these results, the Ni NPs-rGO nanocompositeis successfully prepared by ALD. The properties of Ni NPs-rGO nanocomposite make it an attractive material for potential applications in sensors and catalysis.

Abstract
Sensitive and selective methods for the determination of urea in samples such as dairy products are important for quality control and health applications. Using ammonium ferric citrate as a precursor, Fe/N-codoped carbon dots (CDFeN) were prepared by a hydrothermal procedure and characterized in detail. CDFeN strongly catalyzes the oxidation of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) by H2O2 to turn on an indicator molecular reaction, forming an oxidized tetramethylbenzidine (TMBox) probe with surface-enhanced Raman scattering, resonance Rayleigh scattering, and fluorescence (SERS, RRS, and FL) signals at 1,598 cm−1, 370 nm, and 405 nm, respectively. The urea aptamer (Apt) can turn off the indicator reaction to reduce the tri-signals, and the addition of urea turns on the indicator reaction to linearly enhance the SERS/RRS/FL intensity. Thus, a novel Apt turn-on tri-mode method was developed for the assay determination of ultra-trace urea with high sensitivity, good selectivity, and accuracy. Trace adenosine triphosphate and estradiol can also be determined by the Apt-CDFeN catalytic analytical platform.

Abstract
An excellent atomic layer deposition (ALD) method was adopted for the controllable systhesis of a xFe2O3-nPt (or nPt-xFe2O3)-coated graphene nanostructure (xFe2O3-nPt@graphene). The produced nanomaterials have been characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It is shown that xFe2O3 and nPt were effectively tailored and deposited on the graphene. A simple, rapid, and sensitive electrochemical cytosensor based on the controllable nanomaterials was successfully developed for MCF-7 cells detection by combining the high affinity and specificity of an aptamer. The prepared cytosensor displays a linear response to MCF-7 in the concentration range 18 to 1.5 × 106 cell mL-1 with the detection limit of 6 cell mL-1 (at an S/N of 3). This cytosensor was applied to detect circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in patient blood and the results were satisfied. The experimental results indicate that the proposed controllable electrochemical cytosensor is highly-sensitive, and convenient for clinical detection of breast CTCs. Graphical abstract.
