Abstract
A novel luminol derivative, 4-[(1,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrophthalazin-5-yl)amino]-4-oxobut-2-enoic acid (ALD) with electrochemiluminescence intensity and stability characteristics similar to luminol, but higher solubility in near neutral solution, was designed and synthesized in this study. Using this derivative, a molecular imprinted electrochemiluminescence sensor (MIECLS) was prepared for the sensitive and selective determination of 2-amino-5-mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole (AMT), a metabolite of bismerthiazol, thiediazole copper, thiazole zinc, and other pesticides. The ALD probes encapsulated in liposomes are immobilized on the molecularly imprinted film by light-triggered click reaction, and the concurrent release of multiple probes allows for highly sensitive detection. In the AMT concentration range of 1.00 × 10-18 - 5.00 × 10-13 mol/L, the relation between ECL response and log AMT concentration is linear. With a detection limit of 5.25 × 10-19 mol/L (about 4 - 6 molecules in 10 μL of the sample), the sensor allows for high sensitivity analysis of ultra-trace amounts of small organic compounds. In general, the ECL-based single-molecule detection technique proposed herein might be a promising alternative to fluorescence single-molecule detection.

Abstract
In the present work, a novel approach was developed for the preparation of Cu2O nanoparticle decorated MnO2 nanosheets (Cu2O@MnO2). Uniformly dispersed Cu2O nanocrystals were produced on the surface of MnO2 nanosheets by in situ reduction under refluxing conditions. The unique structure of the used MnO2 nanosheet support played a vital role in the preparation of such Cu2O@MnO2 nanocomposites. The electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) resonance energy transfer can occur between the luminol/H2O2 system and Cu2O@MnO2 nanocomposites, resulting in a decrease of the ECL intensity, which can be used to fabricate an ECL sensor. Cu2O@MnO2 nanocomposite modified heterologous DNA/RNA duplexes were modified on the GCE to construct an ECL-RET system, leading to the decrease of ECL intensity. As a highly conserved damage repair protein, RNase H can specifically hydrolyze RNA in DNA/RNA strands to release Cu2O@MnO2 nanocomposites and recover the ECL signal. As a result, an "off-on" mode ECL sensor for sensitive RNase H assay was fabricated. Under the optimal conditions, the detection limit of RNase H is 0.0005 U mL-1, which is superior to other approaches. The proposed method provides a universal platform for monitoring RNase H, and exhibits great potential in bioanalysis.

Abstract
In this work, a ratiometric fluorescent nanoplatform for the detection of ascorbic acid (AA) was constructed based on the Ag2S quantum dots (QDs) and multifunctional hydroxyl cobalt oxide nanoflakes (CoOOH NFs). Ag2S QDs can be assembled on the surface of CoOOH NFs by electrostatic adsorption, resulting in the quenching of the NIR fluorescence emission of Ag2S QDs at 680 nm effectively through the inner filter effect (IFE). o-Phenylenediamine (OPD), a common substrate of oxidase-like (OXD) mimic, is rapidly oxidized into the fluorescent product of 2,3-diaminophenazine (DAP) with the appearance of an emission peak at 575 nm under the catalysis of CoOOH NFs. After AA was added, the fluorescence emission of DAP declined because of the decline in the OXD-like activity of CoOOH NFs due to the transformation of Co2+. Simultaneously, Ag2S QDs were released, accompanied by the recovery of red fluorescence. These two fluorescent signals can be excited at the same excitation wavelength, simplifying the detection procedure. Using F575/F680 as the readout, the quantification of AA can be realized with the linear range and detection limit of 0.2 μM-20 mM and 0.014 μM, respectively. The ratiometric fluorescence sensor can be effectively used to determine the content of AA in real samples such as juice and serum. This work integrates the in-situ formation of the fluorescent species via the catalysis of the nanozyme and the redox reaction to destroy the CoOOH NFs nanozyme as well as the two dimensional nanoflake induced turn-off-on strategy for Ag2S QDs, which provides a specific strategy for the selective detection of AA and may offer a reliable approach for the construction of other biosensing platforms.

Abstract
The detection of trypsin is significantly important for both clinical diagnosis and disease treatment. In this study, an innovative multicolor sensor for trypsin detection has been established based on the regulation of the peroxidase activity of bovine serum albumin-coated gold nanoclusters (BSA-Au NCs) and efficient etching of gold nanobipyramids (Au NBPs). BSA-Au NCs have slight peroxidase enzyme activity and can catalyze the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to generate TMB+, while trypsin can hydrolyze BSA ligands on the surface of BSA-Au NCs, thus exposing more catalytic active sites of BSA-Au NCs and resulting in the enhancement of the peroxidase activity of BSA-Au NCs, hence more TMB+ is generated. Under acidic conditions, TMB+ can etch Au NBPs efficiently, consequently affecting the aspect ratio of Au NBPs accompanied by the ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectra blue shifting of the system. Furthermore, this also results in color variations that can be distinguished and recognized by naked eyes without any expensive and sophisticated instruments. This multicolor sensor has an available linear relationship with the logarithm of the trypsin concentration in the range of 0.1-100 μg/mL, and the detection limit is 0.045 μg/mL. The designed sensor has been used to detect the concentration of trypsin in human serum samples from healthy individuals and pancreatitis patients with satisfactory results.

Abstract
Considering the limitations associated with existing methods for the detection of trace amounts of trichlorfon, this paper proposes a novel molecularly imprinted electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor for the detection of trichlorfon by utilizing the double enhancement effect of trichlorfon and Ag nanoparticles supported by multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs/Ag NPs) in a luminol-H2O2 ECL system. Here, trichlorfon was electropolymerized on the surface of the MWCNT/Ag NP-modified gold nanoelectrode with o-phenylenediamine to prepare the molecularly imprinted polymer-based sensor. After eluting the trichlorfon, imprinted holes for the identification of trichlorfon were retained on the sensor, which were used as signal switches to obtain different ECL intensities through the adsorption of different concentrations of trichlorfon. The ECL signal of the sensitized luminol-H2O2 was doubly enhanced by the MWCNTs/Ag and trichlorfon, improving the sensitivity of the sensor. The trichlorfon concentration was positively correlated with the enhanced ECL intensity of the sensor in the range 5.0 × 10-8-5.0 × 10-11 mol L-1, and the detection limit of trichlorfon was 3.9 × 10-12 mol L-1. Moreover, the proposed sensor was successfully applied to the detection of trichlorfon residues in real samples, and the recovery ranged between 91.8 and 109%. A molecularly imprinted electrochemiluminescence sensor for trichlorfon detection by utilizing the double enhancement effect of trichlorfon and Ag nanoparticles supported by multi-walled carbon nanotubes in a luminol-H2O2 ECL system. The dual enhancement of the ECL signal improved the sensitivity of the sensor.

Abstract
Iron-cobalt oxide nanosheets (FeCo-ONSs) were proved to have intrinsic peroxidase-like activity. Additionally, the peroxidase-like activity of FeCo-ONSs toward the oxidation of 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) was dramatically enhanced after heparin addition due to the stronger affinity toward TMB. Protamine combines with heparin, so the promotion of peroxidase-like activity of FeCo-ONSs with heparin was suppressed. With the addition of trypsin, protamine was hydrolyzed and the enhancement effect of catalytic activity of FeCo-ONSs was recovered. Based on above process, a sensitive colorimetric platform for trypsin activity determination was constructed through measuring the absorbance of produced oxTMB at 652 nm, providing a linear detection range of 5 to 500 ng/mL and a low detection limit of 2.8 ng/mL. The method was applied to trypsin determination in real samples (human urine sample and multienzyme tablet sample) with satisfactory results, illustrating the potential application of this biosensor.

Abstract
Simultaneous anodic and cathodic electrochemiluminescence (ECL) emissions of black phosphorus nanosheets (BPNSs) and graphitic carbon nitrides (g-C3N4) were reported based on the co-existence of different co-reactants. Anodic ECL was obtained at the BPNSs modified electrode with tripropylamine (TPrA) as a co-reactant, while g-C3N4 was selected as another emitter to obtain cathodic ECL emission with K2S2O8 as co-reactant. Employing the superiority of two separate ECL systems, a facile ECL method was developed for cholesterol detection based on cholesterol oxidase (ChOx) immobilized g-C3N4/BPNSs modified glassy carbon electrode (g-C3N4/BPNSs/GCE). False positive signals can be significantly reduced based on the separation of anode and cathode ECL signals from BPNSs and g-C3N4, respectively. The proposed biosensor provided a quantitative readout proportional to cholesterol concentrations in the range from 0.5 μM to 0.5 mM with a detection limit of 0.14 μM (cathodic system, 3σ, n = 6) and 0.32 μM (anodic system, 3σ, n = 6). The proposed biosensor demonstrated excellent analytical performance with remarkable sensitivity, manifesting its potential application in enzymatic biosensing field.

Abstract
Trypsin is a key proteolytic enzyme in the digestive system and its abnormal levels are indicative of some pancreatic diseases. Taking advantage of the coenzyme-mediated electrografting of ferrocenyl polymers as a novel strategy for signal amplification, herein, a signal-on cleavage-based electrochemical biosensor is reported for the highly selective interrogation of trypsin activity at ultralow levels. The construction of the trypsin biosensor involves (i) the immobilization of peptide substrates (without free carboxyl groups) via the N-terminus, (ii) the tryptic cleavage of peptide substrates, (iii) the site-specific labeling of the reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) agents, and (iv) the grafting of ferrocenyl polymers through the electro-RAFT (eRAFT) polymerization, which is mediated by potentiostatic reduction of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) coenzymes. Through the NAD+-mediated eRAFT (NAD+-eRAFT) polymerization of ferrocenylmethyl methacrylate (FcMMA), the presence of a few tryptic cleavage events can eventually result in the recruitment of a considerable amount of ferrocene redox tags. Obviously, the NAD+-eRAFT polymerization is low-cost and easy to operate as a highly efficient strategy for signal amplification. As expected, the as-constructed biosensor is highly selective and sensitive toward the signal-on interrogation of trypsin activity. Under optimal conditions, the detection limit can be as low as 18.2 μU/mL (∼72.8 pg/mL). The results also demonstrate that the as-constructed electrochemical trypsin biosensor is applicable to inhibitor screening and the interrogation of enzyme activity in the presence of complex sample matrices. Moreover, it is low-cost, less susceptible to false-positive results, and relatively easy to fabricate, thus holding great potential in diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Since the discovery of liquid-phase-exfoliated black phosphorus (BP) as a field-effect transistor in 2014, BP, with its 2D layered structure, has attracted significant attention, owing to its anisotropic electroconductivity, tunable direct bandgap, extraordinary surface activity, moderate switching ratio, high hole mobility, good biocompatibility, and biodegradability. Several pioneering research efforts have explored the application of BP in different types of electrochemical sensors. This review summarizes the latest synthesis methods, protection strategies, and electrochemical sensing applications of BP and its derivatives. The typical synthesis methods for BP-based crystals, nanosheets, and quantum dots are discussed in detail; the degradation of BP under ambient conditions is introduced; and state-of-the-art protection methodologies for enhancing BP stability are explored. Various electrochemical sensing applications, including chemically modified electrodes, electrochemiluminescence sensors, enzyme electrodes, electrochemical aptasensors, electrochemical immunosensors, and ion-selective electrodes are discussed in detail, along with the mechanisms of BP functionalization, sensing strategies, and sensing properties. Finally, the major challenges in this field are outlined and future research avenues for BP-based electrochemical sensors are highlighted.

Abstract
An electrochemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET) immunosensor was developed based on the potential-resolved technology for the simultaneous detection of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and the cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA21-1). The absorption spectrum of gold nanorods (AuNRs) perfectly overlapped with the ECL spectra of SnS2@Pt and Ru(bpy)32+/Zn-MOF, so they exhibited an excellent ECL-RET effect with high efficiency. Zn-MOF possesses a large surface area, which allows for the loading of Ru(bpy)32+. This results in a signal probe of Ru(bpy)32+/Zn-MOF/Ab1 showing a strong ECL emission. Simultaneously, owing to the excellent electronic conductivity of PtNPs, they can increase the electron transfer rate between S2O82- and tin disulfide nanoflowers (SnS2NFs). Hence, the ECL signal of SnS2NFs can be enhanced. Under the optimal conditions, the linear range for NSE is 0.2 pg mL-1-20 ng mL-1 with a detection limit of 79 fg mL-1. The linear range for CYFRA21-1 is 1.25 pg mL-1-12.5 ng mL-1 with a detection limit of 0.43 pg mL-1. The proposed immunosensor can be used for the sensitive simultaneous detection of NSE and CYFRA21-1 in human serum and has promise for clinical diagnostics.
