Abstract
One of the lessons we learned from the COVID-19 pandemic is that the need for ultrasensitive detection systems is now more critical than ever. While sensors' sensitivity, portability, selectivity, and low cost are crucial, new ways to couple synergistic methods enable the highest performance levels. This review article critically discusses the synergetic combinations of optical and electrochemical methods. We also discuss three key application fields-energy, biomedicine, and environment. Finally, we selected the most promising approaches and examples, the open challenges in sensing, and ways to overcome them. We expect this work to set a clear reference for developing and understanding strategies, pros and cons of different combinations of electrochemical and optical sensors integrated into a single device.

Mikrochim Acta 2023; 190:322.

Abstract
A simple and wash-free POCT platform based on microcapillary was developed, using breast cancer cell-derived exosomes as a model. This method adopted the "one suction and one extrusion" mode. The hybridized complex of epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) aptamer and complementary DNA-horseradish peroxidase conjugate (CDNA-HRP) was pre-modified on the microcapillary's inner surface. "One suction" meant inhaling the sample into the functionalized microcapillary. The exosomes could specifically bind with the EpCAM aptamer on the microcapillary's inner wall, and then the CDNA-HRP complex was released. "One extrusion" referred to squeezing the shedding CDNA-HRP into the 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB)/H2O2 solution, and then the enzyme-catalyzed reaction would occur to make the solution yellow using sulfuric acid as the terminator. Therefore, exosome detection could be realized. The limit of detection was 2.69 × 104 particles mL-1 and the signal value had excellent linearity in the concentration range from 2.75 × 104 to 2.75 × 108 particles⋅mL-1 exosomes. In addition, the wash-free POCT platform also displayed a favorable reproducibility (RSD = 2.9%) in exosome detection. This method could effectively differentiate breast cancer patients from healthy donors. This work provided an easy-to-operate method for detecting cancer-derived exosomes without complex cleaning steps, which is expected to be applied to breast cancer screening.

Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic has led to greater recognition of the importance of the fast and timely detection of pathogens. Recent advances in point-of-care testing (POCT) technology have shown promising results for rapid diagnosis. Immunoassays are among the most extensive POCT assays, in which specific labels are used to indicate and amplify the immune signal. Nanoparticles (NPs) are above the rest because of their versatile properties. Much work has been devoted to NPs to find more efficient immunoassays. Herein, we comprehensively describe NP-based immunoassays with a focus on particle species and their specific applications. This review describes immunoassays along with key concepts surrounding their preparation and bioconjugation to show their defining role in immunosensors. The specific mechanisms, microfluidic immunoassays, electrochemical immunoassays (ELCAs), immunochromatographic assays (ICAs), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), and microarrays are covered herein. For each mechanism, a working explanation of the appropriate background theory and formalism is articulated before examining the biosensing and related point-of-care (POC) utility. Given their maturity, some specific applications using different nanomaterials are discussed in more detail. Finally, we outline future challenges and perspectives to give a brief guideline for the development of appropriate platforms.

Abstract
We investigate the electronic response of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and a carbon nanobelt (CNB) to N-linked and O-linked SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoproteins, using ab initio quantum mechanical approach. The CNTs are selected from three zigzag, armchair, and chiral groups. We examine the effect of carbon nanotube (CNT) chirality on the interaction between CNTs and glycoproteins. Results indicate that the chiral semiconductor CNTs clearly response to the presence of the glycoproteins by changing the electronic band gaps and electron density of states (DOS). Since the changes in the CNTs band gaps in the presence of N-linked are about two times larger than the changes in the presence of the O-linked glycoprotein, chiral CNT may distinguish different types of the glycoproteins. The same results are obtained from CNBs. Thereby, we predict CNBs and chiral CNTs have suitable potential in sequential analysis of N- and O-linked glycosylation of the spike protein.

Abstract
In the context of accelerating the global realization of carbon peaking and carbon neutralization, biochar produced from biomass feedstock via a pyrolysis process has been more and more focused on by people from various fields. Biochar is a carbon-rich material with good properties that could be used as a carrier, a catalyst, and an absorbent. Such properties have made biochar a good candidate as a base material in the fabrication of electrochemical sensors or biosensors, like carbon nanotube and graphene. However, the study of the applications of biochar in electrochemical sensing technology is just beginning; there are still many challenges to be conquered. In order to better carry out this research, we reviewed almost all of the recent papers published in the past 5 years on biochar-based electrochemical sensors and biosensors. This review is different from the previously published review papers, in which the types of biomass feedstock, the preparation methods, and the characteristics of biochar were mainly discussed. First, the role of biochar in the fabrication of electrochemical sensors and biosensors is summarized. Then, the analytes determined by means of biochar-based electrochemical sensors and biosensors are discussed. Finally, the perspectives and challenges in applying biochar in electrochemical sensors and biosensors are provided.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Zearalenone is a well-known estrogenic mycotoxin produced by Fusarium species, a serious threat to the agricultural and food industries worldwide. Zearalenone, with its known metabolites, are biomarkers of exposure to certain fungi, primarily through food. It has considerable toxic effects on biological systems due to its carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, renal toxicity, teratogenicity, and immunotoxicity. INTRODUCTION This study aims to design a simple, quick, precise, and cost-effective method on a biosensor platform to evaluate the low levels of this toxin in foodstuffs and agricultural products. METHODS An aptamer-based electrochemical biosensor was introduced that utilizes screen-printed gold electrodes instead of conventional electrodes. The electrode position process was employed to develop a gold nanoparticle-modified surface to enhance the electroactive surface area. Thiolated aptamers were immobilized on the surface of gold nanoparticles, and subsequently, the blocker and analyte were added to the modified surface. In the presence of a redox probe, electrochemical characterization of differential pulse voltammetry, cyclic voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to investigate the various stages of aptasensor fabrication. RESULTS The proposed aptasensor for zearalenone concentration had a wide linear dynamic range covering the 0.5 pg/mL to 100 ng/mL with a 0.14 pg/mL detection limit. Moreover, this aptasensor had high specificity so that a non-specific analyte cannot negatively affect the selectivity of the aptasensor. CONCLUSION Overall, due to its simple design, high sensitivity, and fast performance, this aptasensor showed a high potential for assessing zearalenone in real samples, providing a clear perspective for designing a portable and cost-effective device.

Abstract
In many cases of in-situ or point-of-care testing (POCT), the single pursuit of good detection performance cannot meet the testing requirements, and thus no-wash testing has become one of the most effective methods to develop sustainable biosensing assay, providing more convenient operation procedures and shorting the detection time. Herein, a disposable POC biosensing assay was prepared based on the RGB color detector software on the smartphone and the peroxide-like activity of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) for aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) sensitive detection. Using syringe filters for a simple physical separation procedure can easily realize washing free detection, which is superior to most biosensing assays with cumbersome detection procedures. The syringe filters with 200 nm pore diameter could only pass through small Au NPs (30 nm) while the large-sized SiO2 nanoparticles (300 nm) was blocked on the membrane. In this work, Au NPs utilized their inherent peroxidase-like activity to catalyze the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) by H2O2 to ox-TMB under acidic conditions, which results in blue color in aqueous solution. The color change due to different antigen concentrations was quantitatively determined by measuring the color intensity with a smartphone and the RGB color detector. By measuring the color intensity, it was known that the linear concentration range of the biosensing assay was 100 fg mL-1 to 50 ng mL-1, and the detection limit of AFB1 was 33 fg mL-1 (S/N = 3). Additionally, the designed biosensing assay exhibited excellent selectivity, storage stability and reproducibility. More importantly, the innovation of detecting and analyzing technology is the outstanding advantage of the biosensing assay, providing a more flexible and convenient strategy for some other small molecule analysis.

Abstract
Nanozymes have enzyme-like characteristics and nanozyme-based electrochemical sensors have been widely studied for biomarker detection. In this work, cuprous oxide-modified reduced graphene oxide (Cu2O-rGO) nanozyme was prepared by simultaneous reduction of copper chloride and graphene oxide. This Cu2O-rGO nanozyme displayed an outstanding electrocatalytic activity to glucose oxidation and was used as the modified material of a glassy carbon electrode to fabricate an electrochemical ratiometric biosensor for glycated albumin (GA) detection. In this ratiometric biosensor, methylene blue-labeled DNA tripods (MB-tDNA) were adsorbed on the Cu2O-rGO/GCE surface to form a bioinspired electrode (MB-tDNA/Cu2O-rGO/GCE), in which the catalytic sites of Cu2O-rGO were covered by MB-tDNA. In the presence of target GA, GA could be identified by the aptamer sequence contained in MB-tDNA, and a MB-tDNA/GA complex was formed and released into the solution, so the reduced current of MB-tDNA was decreased. Simultaneously, the oxidized current of the outer added glucose was increased since more catalytic sites of Cu2O-rGO nanozyme on the substrate electrode surface were exposed. The ratio of the peak currents of glucose oxidation and methylene blue reduction (IGlu/IMB) was used to monitor the GA level and ultimately improve the accuracy of the method. The electrochemical sensor showed a low detection limit of 0.007 μg mL-1 and a wide linear range from 0.02 to 1500 μg mL-1. The proposed sensor was also successfully used to measure the GA expression level in the blood serum of a diabetic mouse model.

Abstract
Environmental sustainability is threatened by the widespread exploitation and unfettered release of chemical pollutants that require immediate detection and eradication. An instantaneous quantification technique is essential to understand the physiological roles of the antibacterial drug sulfaguanidine (SGN) in biological systems. The present work features the green and environmentally benign synthesis of rare earth metal sulfide nanorods incorporated carbon nitrides sheets (Ce2S3@CNS) by deep eutectic solvent-based fabrication with remarkable electrochemical properties. The morphological and structural analyses of the prepared electrocatalyst were characterized using various techniques including SEM, XRD, XPS, and EIS. The heterojunction of regimented structures bids synergistic quantum confinement effects and refines charge carriers endorsing enormous active sites. Furthermore, the obtained Ce2S3@CNS/GCE possess an exceedingly lower limit of detection (0.0053 μM) and high sensitivity of 8.685 μA·μM-1·cm-2 with superior electrocatalytic action and virtuous stability for the detection of SGN. This modified electrode could afford linearity in the range 0.01-1131.5 μM measured at 0.95 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) correlated to the concentration of SGN. Examining the real samples with this advanced electrocatalyst would support its hands-on applications in everyday life. Development of such innovative architectures with fewer energy necessities and nominal by-products scripts the superiority in characteristic synthetic methodology following the guidelines of green chemistry.

Abstract
As the interest in wearable devices has increased recently, increasing biosensor flexibility has begun to attract considerable attention. Among the various types of biosensors, electrochemical biosensors are uniquely suited for the development of such flexible biosensors due to their many advantages, including their fast response, inherent miniaturization, convenient operation, and portability. Therefore, many studies on flexible electrochemical biosensors have been conducted in recent years to achieve non-invasive and real-time monitoring of body fluids such as tears, sweat, and saliva. To achieve this, various substrates, novel nanomaterials, and detection techniques have been utilized to develop conductive flexible platforms that can be applied to create flexible electrochemical biosensors. In this review, we discussed recently reported flexible electrochemical biosensors and divided them into specific categories including materials for flexible substrate, fabrication techniques for flexible biosensor development, and recently developed flexible electrochemical biosensors to externally monitor target molecules, thereby providing a means to noninvasively examine cells and body fluid samples. In conclusion, this review will discuss the materials, methods, recent studies, and perspectives on flexible electrochemical biosensors for healthcare monitoring and wearable biosensing systems.

Abstract
A substitute for bisphenol A (BPA), bisphenol S (BPS) has endocrine disruptive and toxic effects and could pose potential risk on human health and the environment. Herein, we fabricated a sensitive molecularly imprinted electrochemiluminescence (MIECL) sensor for the determination of BPS. CoN nanoarray with outstanding electrical conductivity was prepared and it directly served as the sensor platform. Especially, due to the high surface area of the porous CoN nanoarray, the ECL probe of Ru(bpy)3 2+ could be absorbed on the electrode. By means of the cation exchange of Nafion membrane and utilizing tripropylamine (TPrA) as co-reactant, boosted ECL signals were obtained. Meanwhile, by combining with molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), the constructed sensor achieved specific recognition of BPS. On the basis of the superior properties of the CoN nanoarray-based electrode, the ECL signal of the proposed sensor was linearly proportional to the BPS concentration from 2.4 × 10-9 to 5.0 × 10-5 mol L-1 (R 2 = 0.9965) with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 8.1 × 10-10 mol L-1 (S/N = 3). To test the accuracy of the proposed method, the HPLC method was adopted to analyze drinking water samples as a comparison. The t-test result proved that discrepancies between HPLC analysis and the method using the fabricated MIECL sensor were acceptable. The developed MIECL sensor with the sensitive, selective, reproducible, and stable analytical performance provides a potential pathway for the detection of BPS and other BPA substitutes in drinking water samples.

Abstract
Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have attracted many research endeavors as self-powered sensors for force, velocity, and gas detection based on solid-solid or solid-air interactions. Recently, triboelectrification at liquid-solid interfaces also showed intriguing capability in converting physical contacts into electricity. Here, we report a self-powered triboelectric sensor for liquid chemical sensing based on liquid-solid electrification. As a liquid droplet passed across the tribo-negative sensor surface, the induced surface charge balanced with the electrical double layer charge in the liquid droplet. The competition between the double layer charge and surface charge generated characteristic positive and negative voltage spikes, which may serve as a "binary feature" to identify the chemical compound. The sensor showed distinct sensitivity to three amino acids including glycine, lysine and phenylalanine as a function of their concentration. The versatile sensing ability was further demonstrated on several other inorganic and organic chemical compounds dissolved in DI water. This work demonstrated a promising sensing application based on the triboelectrification principle for biofluid sensor development.

Abstract
The portability of electronic-based biosensors is limited because of the use of batteries and/or solutions containing reactants such as enzymes for assay, which limits the utility of such biosensors in point-of-care (POC) testing. In this study, we report on the development of a self-powered biosensor composed of only portable components: a reactant-containing poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) film for the colorimetric assay, and a self-powered n-InGaZnO/p-Si photodetector. The PEG film containing enzymes and color-developing agents was formed on a glass slide by spin coating. The self-powered biosensor was fabricated by placing the hybrid film on the p-n junction photodetector, and applied in non-invasive glucose detection (salivary glucose). Injection of the target-containing solution dissolved the PEG that led to the release of enzymes and color-developing agents, resulting in a colorimetric assay. The colorimetric assay could attenuate the light reaching the photodetector, thus facilitating target concentration verification by measuring the photocurrent. Our self-powered biosensor has two main advantages: (i) all components of the biosensor are portable and (ii) dilution of target concentration is avoided as the reagents are in the PEG film. Therefore, the self-powered biosensor, without solution-phase components, could be highly beneficial for creating portable, sensitive biosensors for POC testing.

Abstract
Stress cardiomyopathy refers weakening of heart muscle due to the continuous stress. Generally, the severe status of stress cardiomyopathy has been revealed after damaging the muscles and measured by the physical changes in the heart system. To overcome this issue, biosensor can be used, which could eliminate the late identification stress cardiomyopathy. With biosensors, different stress markers such as epinephrine, dopamine, catecholamine, α-amylase, norepinephrine, serotonin and cortisol have been identified by a wide range of developments. These biosensors are available from laboratory to industry at the ranges of nano to macrodevices. To merge with the identification of stress cardiomyopathy, the above strategies might be utilized properly and can aid to reduce the stress-related problems. This overview gleaned the currently available biosensing methods and the associated biomarkers at various stages of the developments and implementations of stress cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
A novel heterogeneous architecture has been constructed integrating two-dimensional (2D) bimetallic CoCu-zeolite imidazole framework (CoCu-ZIF) and zero-dimensional (0D) Ti3C2Tx MXene-derived carbon dots (CDs) (represented by CoCu-ZIF@CDs). The prepared CoCu-ZIF@CDs were further explored as sensitive layer for anchoring B16-F10 cell-targeted aptamer strands and detecting B16-F10 cells from the biological environment. Basic characterization showed that CDs were homogeneously embedded within CoCu-ZIF NSs owing to their π-π stacking interaction, leading to outstanding fluorescence performance of the 0D/2D CoCu-ZIF@CD nanohybrid. As such, the CoCu-ZIF@CD-based cytosensor was applied to detect living B16-F10 cells through electrochemical techniques and cell imaging. Compared with CoCu-ZIF- and CD-based cytosensors, the constructed CoCu-ZIF@CD-based one showed superior sensing performance, with an extremely low limit of detection (LOD) of 33 cells∙mL-1 and a wide range of suspension concentration of 1 × 102-1 × 105 cells∙mL-1 B16-F10 cells. The developed cytosensor also demonstrated excellent detection performance, including cell imaging properties, good selectivity, high stability, and good reproducibility. By anchoring other probe molecules, the constructed CoCu-ZIF@CD-based biosensor can be extensively explored for early diagnosis of other analytes, thereby widening the applications of porous organic frameworks in biosensing and biomedical fields. A novel sensing system for melanoma B16-F10 cells based on a novel CoCu-ZIF@CD nanohybrid has been developed. The CoCu-ZIF@CDs-based cytosensor displayed an extremely low limit of detection (LOD) of 33 cells∙mL-1 within the wide range of B16-F10 cell concentration from 1 × 102 to 1 × 105 cells∙mL-1, accompanying with cell imaging properties, good selectivity, high stability, and well reproducibility.

Abstract
There is a growing demand to protect food products against the hazard of microbes and their toxins. To satisfy such goals, it is important to develop highly sensitive, reliable, sophisticated, rapid, and cost-effective sensing techniques such as electrochemical sensors/biosensors. Although diverse forms of nanomaterials (NMs)-based electrochemical sensing methods have been introduced in markets, the reliability of commercial products is yet insufficient to meet the practical goal. In this review, we focused on: 1) sources of pathogenic microbes and their toxins; 2) possible routes of their entrainment in food, and 3) current development of NM-based biosensors to realize real-time detection of the target analytes. At last, future prospects and challenges in this research field are discussed.

Abstract
Precision medicine is a field with huge potential for improving a patient's quality of life, wherein therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) can provide actionable insights. More importantly, incorrect drug dose is a common contributor to medical errors. However, current TDM practice is time-consuming and expensive, and requires specialised technicians. One solution is to use electrochemical biosensors (ECBs), which are inexpensive, portable, and highly sensitive. In this review, we explore the potential for ECBs as a technology for on-demand drug monitoring, including microneedles, continuous monitoring, synthetic biorecognition elements, and multi-material electrodes. We also highlight emerging strategies to achieve continuous drug monitoring, and conclude by appraising recent developments and providing an outlook for the field.

Abstract
A highly sensitive and selective label-free electrochemical immunosensor was successfully fabricated for measuring prostate-specific antigen (PSA). A composite of chitosan, graphene, ionic liquid and ferrocene (CS-GR-IL-Fc) was drop casted onto a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) and frozen to create a layer of 3D porous cryogel (CS-GR-IL-Fc cry) which was decorated with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The biocompatibility and porosity of the cryogel increased the surface area available for AuNPs loading via amino groups and the population of anti-PSA, immobilized on the AuNPs via chemisorption, could be increased. The CS-GR-IL-Fc cry displayed excellent conductivity, enhancing electron transfer and amplifying the current signal. Differential pulse voltammetry was employed to determine PSA by measuring the reduction in the Fc oxidation peak current in response to the formation of PSA/anti-PSA immunocomplex. Under the optimized incubation time and electrolyte pH, the developed immunosensor displayed excellent analytical performances, including a wide linear range at concentrations from 1.0 × 10-7 to 1.0 × 10-1 ng mL-1, with a very low limit of detection of 4.8 × 10-8 ng mL-1 and good reproducibility (relative standard deviation of <4.6%, n = 6), stability (90% sensitivity within 20 days), repeatability (12 cycles of binding-rebinding, the sensitivity > 90%) and selectivity. The results obtained from the device for the determination of PSA in human serum were consistent with results from the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (P > 0.05), and indicated the promising potential of the proposed immunosensor in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Multidrug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is known to be a problematic bacterium for being a major cause of opportunistic and nosocomial infections. In this study, reduced graphene oxide decorated with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs/rGO) was utilized as a new sensing material for a fast and direct electrochemical detection of pyocyanin as a biomarker of P. aeruginosa infections. Under optimal condition, the developed electrochemical pyocyanin sensor exhibited a good linear range for the determination of pyocyanin in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), human saliva and urine at a clinically relevant concentration range of 1-100 μM, achieving a detection limit of 0.27 μM, 1.34 μM, and 2.3 μM, respectively. Our developed sensor demonstrated good selectivity towards pyocyanin in the presence of interfering molecule such as ascorbic acid, uric acid, NADH, glucose, and acetylsalicylic acid, which are commonly found in human fluids. Furthermore, the developed sensor was able to discriminate the signal with and without the presence of pyocyanin directly in P. aeruginosa culture. This proposed technique demonstrates its potential application in monitoring the presence of P. aeruginosa infection in patients.

Abstract
The excellent capabilities demonstrated over the last few years by electrochemical affinity biosensors should be largely attributed to their coupling with particular nanostructures including dendrimers, DNA-based nanoskeletons, molecular imprinted polymers, metal-organic frameworks, nanozymes and magnetic and mesoporous silica nanoparticles. This review article aims to give, by highlighting representative methods reported in the last 5 years, an updated and general overview of the main improvements that the use of such well-ordered nanomaterials as electrode modifiers or advanced labels confer to electrochemical affinity biosensors in terms of sensitivity, selectivity, stability, conductivity and biocompatibility focused on food and environmental applications, less covered in the literature than clinics. A wide variety of bioreceptors (antibodies, DNAs, aptamers, lectins, mast cells, DNAzymes), affinity reactions (single, sandwich, competitive and displacement) and detection strategies (label-free or label-based using mainly natural but also artificial enzymes), whose performance is substantially improved when used in conjunction with nanostructured systems, are critically discussed together with the great diversity of molecular targets that nanostructured affinity biosensors are able to quantify using quite simple protocols in a wide variety of matrices and with the sensitivity required by legislation. The large number of possibilities and the versatility of these approaches, the main challenges to face in order to achieve other pursued capabilities (development of antifouling, continuous operation, wash-, calibration- and reagents-free devices, regulatory or Association of Official Analytical Chemists, AOAC, approval) and decisive future actions to achieve the commercialization and acceptance of these devices in our daily routine are also noted at the end.

Abstract
Lipases are very versatile enzymes, and produced the attention of the several industrial processes. Lipase can be achieved from several sources, animal, vegetable, and microbiological. The uses of microbial lipase market is estimated to be USD 425.0 Million in 2018 and it is projected to reach USD 590.2 Million by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 6.8% from 2018. Microbial lipases (EC 3.1.1.3) catalyze the hydrolysis of long chain triglycerides. The microbial origins of lipase enzymes are logically dynamic and proficient also have an extensive range of industrial uses with the manufacturing of altered molecules. The unique lipase (triacylglycerol acyl hydrolase) enzymes catalyzed the hydrolysis, esterification and alcoholysis reactions. Immobilization has made the use of microbial lipases accomplish its best performance and hence suitable for several reactions and need to enhance aroma to the immobilization processes. Immobilized enzymes depend on the immobilization technique and the carrier type. The choice of the carrier concerns usually the biocompatibility, chemical and thermal stability, and insolubility under reaction conditions, capability of easy rejuvenation and reusability, as well as cost proficiency. Bacillus spp., Achromobacter spp., Alcaligenes spp., Arthrobacter spp., Pseudomonos spp., of bacteria and Penicillium spp., Fusarium spp., Aspergillus spp., of fungi are screened large scale for lipase production. Lipases as multipurpose biological catalyst has given a favorable vision in meeting the needs for several industries such as biodiesel, foods and drinks, leather, textile, detergents, pharmaceuticals and medicals. This review represents a discussion on microbial sources of lipases, immobilization methods increased productivity at market profitability and reduce logistical liability on the environment and user.

Abstract
Self-supported Fe3N-Co2N nanoarray with high electric conductivity and large surface area was prepared for growth of MIPs and further constructing a sensitive and stable electrochemical sensor. For the evaluation of its performance, Fe3N-Co2N is used as sensing electrode material, and AMP is used as template molecule to construct the MIP electrochemical sensor. Under the optimized conditions, the developed MIPs electrochemical sensor detects AMP with a low detection limit of 3.65 × 10-10 mol L-1 and shows outstanding reproducibility and stability. When the MIPs electrochemical sensor was applied to detect AMP in milk samples via standard addition method, the recovery within 97.06-102.43% with RSD of 1.05-2.11% was obtained. The fabrication of MIPs electrochemical sensor is highly promising for sensitive and selective electrochemical measurement and food safety testing. This work can provide theoretical guidance for truly challenging problems. Graphical abstract Principle diagram of MIP-EC sensor for detecting AMP Molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) are widely performed for construction of electrochemical (EC) sensors especially for detecting small molecules in complex environment. However, the large-scale and robust preparation of MIPs in situ on sensor platform limits their practical applications. We fabricated a MIPs EC sensor based on Fe3N-Co2N in situ grown on carbon cloth (CC) as the substrate platform (Fe3N-Co2N/CC) combining with MIPs as the target recognition element for the label-free detection of AMP. Under the optimal conditions, the developed MIPs EC sensor can detect AMP with a low detection limit of 3.65 × 10-10 mol L-1. When the AMP in milk is detected by the proposed EC sensor, it shows ideal results. Therefore, the use of self-supported Fe3N-Co2N nanoarray as the platform for the fabrication of MIPs EC sensors is highly promising for sensitive and selective EC measurement and point-of-care testing.

Abstract
Nowadays, electrochemical biosensors are reliable analytical tools to determine a broad range of molecular analytes because of their simplicity, affordable cost, and compatibility with multiplexed and point-of-care strategies. There is an increasing demand to improve their sensitivity and selectivity, but also to provide electrochemical biosensors with important attributes such as near real-time and continuous monitoring in complex or denaturing media, or in vivo with minimal intervention to make them even more attractive and suitable for getting into the real world. Modification of biosensors surfaces with antibiofouling reagents, smart coupling with nanomaterials, and the advances experienced by folded-based biosensors have endowed bioelectroanalytical platforms with one or more of such attributes. With this background in mind, this review aims to give an updated and general overview of these technologies as well as to discuss the remarkable achievements arising from the development of electrochemical biosensors free of reagents, washing, or calibration steps, and/or with antifouling properties and the ability to perform continuous, real-time, and even in vivo operation in nearly autonomous way. The challenges to be faced and the next features that these devices may offer to continue impacting in fields closely related with essential aspects of people's safety and health are also commented upon.

Abstract
The development of crystal-facet metal oxide heterostructures has been of great interest owing to their rational design and multifunctional properties at the nanoscale level. Herein, we report a facile solution-based method for the synthesis of single-crystal Cu2O nanostructures (i.e. Cu2O-CuO) as a core. Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) with varying concentrations are fabricated on the surface of Cu2O extended hexapods (EHPs) in ethanol solution at room temperature via self-assembly, where copper acts as a sacrificial model and a stabilizer as well. The Cu2O crystals displayed a good sensing activity toward BPA oxidation owing to their high energy facets, dangling bonds and great proportion of surface copper atoms. Structural, morphological, chemical and vibrational investigations were performed in detail, presenting high crystallinity of hybrid nanocomposites and Cu2O-CuO heterojunction positions along with the growth of GQDs on the core of Cu2O-CuO crystals. The electrochemical sensing performance of the as-fabricated Cu2O-CuO@GQD EHPs was monitored for the determination of bisphenol A (BPA) as an early diagnostic marker and environmental contaminant. The synergistic effects of the boosted surface area, exposed Cu {111} crystallographic planes and mixed copper valences enhance redox reaction kinetics by increasing the electron shuttling rate at the electrode-analyte junction. Benefitting from the improved electrocatalytic activity for BPA oxidation, the electrochemical sensor displayed the lowest limit of detection (≤1 nM), good chemical stability, a broad linear range (2 nM-11 mM), and high sensitivity (636 μA mM-1 cm-2). The Cu2O-CuO@GQD EHP-based sensing platform was used for BPA detection in water and human serum samples. We have also constructed a pioneering electrochemical sensing platform for BPA detection in live cells, which might be used as a marker for early disease diagnosis.

Abstract
Recent technological advances have stimulated efforts to bring personalized medicine into practice. Yet, traditional application fields like therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) have remained rather under-appreciated. Owing to clear dose-response relationships, TDM could improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs. While chromatography-based routine practices are restricted due to high costs and turnaround times, biosensors overcome these limitations by offering on-site analysis. Nevertheless, sensor-based approaches have yet to break through for clinical TDM applications, due to the gap between scientific and clinical communities. We provide a critical overview of current TDM practices, followed by a TDM guideline to establish a common ground across disciplines. Finally, we discuss how the translation of sensor systems for TDM can be facilitated, by highlighting the challenges and opportunities.

Abstract
No-wash detection of small molecules in real samples has been attracting attention in the field of sensors including electroanalytical biosensors. Based on the direct electrochemical oxidation of fluorene-9-bisphenol (BHPF) on a CoN nanoarray electrode, we developed a ratiometric molecularly imprinted polymeric electrochemical (MIP-EC) sensor to realize no-wash detection of BHPF in serum and tap water. The CoN nanoarray in situ grown on carbon cloth (CC) served as the working electrode, which could load the electroactive toluidine blue (TB) and be modified by the MIPs. As the MIP concentration on the modified electrode surface was increased, the amount of BHPF exposed on the electrode surface increased and the amount of exposed TB decreased. Thus, the values of ΔITB and ΔIBHPF decreased and increased, respectively, with an increasing amount of BHPF. Therefore, a ratiometric strategy was established by using the value of ΔITB/ΔIBHPF as the instruction response to realize detection of BHPF with high sensitivity and reliability. The developed ratiometric MIP-EC sensor showed strong anti-interference ability, good detection reproducibility and stability towards no-wash detection of BHPF as shown from tests with real samples. This work can further provide theoretical and practical guidance for the detection of other familiar small molecules.

Abstract
Glucose oxidase (GOx) based biosensors are commercialized and marketed for the high selectivity of GOx. Incorporation nanomaterials with GOx can increase the sensitivity performance. In this work, an enzyme glucose biosensor based on nanotubes was fabricated. By using Ti foil as a carrier, hydrogen titanate nanotubes (HTNTs), which present fine 3D structure with vast pores, were fabricated in-situ by the hydrothermal treatment. The multilayer nanotubes are open-ended with a diameter of 10 nm. Then glucose oxidase (GOx) was loaded on the nanotubes by cross-linking to form an electrode of the amperometric glucose biosensor (GOx/HTNTs/Ti electrode). The fabricated GOx/HTNTs/Ti electrode had a linear response to 1-10 mM glucose, and the response time was 1.5 s. The sensitivity of the biosensor was 1.541 μA·mM-1·cm-2, and the detection limit (S/N = 3) was 59 μM. Obtained results indicate that the in-situ fabrication and unique 3D structure of GOx/HTNTs/Ti electrode are beneficial for its sensitivity.

Abstract
The presence of allergens and adulterants in food, which represents a real threat to sensitized people and a loss of consumer confidence, is one of the main current problems facing society. The detection of allergens and adulterants in food, mainly at the genetic level (characteristic fragments of genes that encode their expression) or at functional level (protein biomarkers) is a complex task due to the natural interference of the matrix and the low concentration at which they are present. Methods for the analysis of allergens are mainly divided into immunological and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-based assays. In recent years, electrochemical affinity biosensors, including immunosensors and biosensors based on synthetic sequences of DNA or ribonucleic acid (RNA), linear, aptameric, peptide or switch-based probes, are gaining special importance in this field because they have proved to be competitive with the methods commonly used in terms of simplicity, test time and applicability in different environments. These unique features make them highly promising analytical tools for routine determination of allergens and food adulterations at the point of care. This review article discusses the most significant trends and developments in electrochemical affinity biosensing in this field over the past two years as well as the challenges and future prospects for this technology.

Abstract
In this study, a sandwich-type electrochemical (EC) immunosensor was proposed to detect a carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) based on Au-graphene and Au@SiO2-methylene blue (MB). The Au nanoparticles (NPs)-vertical graphene (VG) electrode efficiently amplifies the response signal by immobilizing a large amount of the coating antibody (Ab) and is characterized by excellent electrocatalytic activity. The MB nanodot-loaded Au@SiO2 carriers with core-shell nanostructure and detection Ab were used to construct the Ab-Au@SiO2-MB label, which improved the sensitivity due to the high EC signal of MB nanodots and the high labeling effect between the detection Ab and MB probe. A novel double-Ab sandwich strategy was developed to further improve the sensitivity and stability based on the same specificity of the coating and detection Abs for the recognition of CEA. Under optimal conditions, the developed EC sensor exhibited a wide linear range from 1 fg mL-1 to 100 ng mL-1, with an ultralow detection limit of 0.8 fg mL-1 (S/N = 3). The feasibility in the clinical application of the EC sensor was verified by the in vitro detection of CEA in human serum.
