Abstract
Humans are fundamentally interested in monitoring and understanding interactions that occur in and around our bodies. Biological interactions within the body determine our physical condition and can be used to improve medical treatments and develop new drugs. Daily life involves contact with numerous chemicals, ranging from household elements, naturally occurring scents from common plants and animals, and industrial agents. Many chemicals cause adverse health and environmental effects and require regulation to prevent pollution. Chemical detection is critically important for food and environmental quality control efforts, medical diagnostics, and detection of explosives. Thus, sensitive devices are needed for detecting and discriminating chemical and biological samples. Compared to other sensing devices, the Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) is well-established and has been considered and sufficiently sensitive for detecting molecules, chemicals, polymers, and biological assemblies. Due to its simplicity and low cost, the QCM sensor has potential applications in analytical chemistry, surface chemistry, biochemistry, environmental science, and other disciplines. QCM detection measures resonate frequency changes generated by the quartz crystal sensor when covered with a thin film or liquid. The quartz crystal is sandwiched between two metal (typically gold) electrodes. Functionalizing the electrode's surface further enhances frequency change detection through to interactions between the sensor and the targeted material. These sensors are sensitive to high frequencies and can recognize ultrasmall masses. This review will cover advancements in QCM sensor technologies, highlighting in-sensor and real-time analysis. QCM-based sensor function is dictated by the coating material. We present various high-sensitivity coating techniques that use this novel sensor design. Then, we briefly review available measurement parameters and technological interventions that will inform future QCM research. Lastly, we examine QCM's theory and application to enhance our understanding of relevant electrical components and concepts.

[PMID: 36687038 PMCID: PMC9850781 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.2c06329] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2022] [Accepted: 12/14/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Amorphous metal-organic framework (aMOF)-based materials have attracted considerable attention as an emerging class of nanomaterials. Herein, novel microorganisms@aMIL-125 (Ti) composites including yeast@aMIL-125 (Ti), PCC 6803@aMIL-125 (Ti), and Escherichia coli@aMIL-125 (Ti) composites were respectively synthesized by self-assembling aMOFs on the microorganisms' surface. The functional groups on the microorganisms' surface induced structural defects and participated in the formation of aMIL-125 (Ti) composites. Finally, the application of microorganisms@aMIL-125 (Ti) composites for the removal of glyphosate from aqueous solution was selected as a model reaction to illustrate their potential for environmental protection. The present method is not only economical but also has other advantages including ease of operation, environmentally friendly assay, and high adsorption. The maximum adsorption capacity of aMIL-125 (Ti) was 1096.25 mg g-1, which was 1.74 times that of crystalline MIL-125 (Ti). Therefore, the microorganisms@aMOFs composites will have broad application prospects in energy storage, drug delivery, catalysis, adsorbing toxic substances, sensing, encapsulating and delivering enzymes, and in other fields.

Recent Advances in Quartz Crystal Microbalance Biosensors Based on the Molecular Imprinting Technique for Disease-Related Biomarkers. CHEMOSENSORS 2022.

Abstract
The molecular imprinting technique is a quickly developing field of interest regarding the synthesis of artificial recognition elements that enable the specific determination of target molecule/analyte from a matrix. Recently, these smart materials can be successfully applied to biomolecule detection in biomimetic biosensors. These biosensors contain a biorecognition element (a bioreceptor) and a transducer, like their biosensor analogs. Here, the basic difference is that molecular imprinting-based biosensors use a synthetic recognition element. Molecular imprinting polymers used as the artificial recognition elements in biosensor platforms are complementary in shape, size, specific binding sites, and functionality to their template analytes. Recent progress in biomolecular recognition has supplied extra diagnostic and treatment methods for various diseases. Cost-effective, more robust, and high-throughput assays are needed for monitoring biomarkers in clinical settings. Quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) biosensors are promising tools for the real-time and quick detection of biomolecules in the past two decades A quick, simple-to-use, and cheap biomarkers detection technology based on biosensors has been developed. This critical review presents current applications in molecular imprinting-based quartz crystal microbalance biosensors for the quantification of biomarkers for disease monitoring and diagnostic results.

Abstract
The structural diversity and tunability of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) represent an ideal material platform for a variety of practical scenarios ranging from gas storage/separation to catalysis, yet their application in chemiresistive gas sensing is relatively lacking, due to the requirements of combined electrical conductivity and optimized gas adsorption properties. Here, we report an effective chemical sensing strategy based on missing-linker two-dimensional conductive MOF, with incorporated defects via a simple ligand oxidization method. The multiple hydroxyl defect sites in the conductive 2D missing-linker amorphous Ni-HAB (aNi-HAB) enable rapid adsorption and desorption of water molecules compared to crystalline Ni-HAB (cNi-HAB). As a result, the aNi-HAB sensory device shows good sensitivity, selectivity, linearity, fast response/recovery rate, and excellent stability, which can be further improved by Nafion functionalization. Theoretical investigations including transient current measurement, density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and systematic performance evaluation of isostructural 2D aM-HAB (M = Cu, Fe, Co) MOF showed that unique transport mechanism and adsorption/activation energies originated from hydrogen bonding at defective sites are critical for enhanced humidity response, and further confirmed that defect engineering through missing linker incorporation is a general and effective approach to tune the sensing properties of conductive MOF materials.
