Lai YR, Wang SSS, Lin TH. Using silver nanoparticle-decorated whey protein isolate amyloid fibrils to modify the electrode surface used for electrochemical detection of para-nitrophenol. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 264:130404. [PMID: 38417752 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130404] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2023] [Revised: 02/20/2024] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 03/01/2024]
Abstract
Due to their organized structures, remarkable stiffness, and nice biocompatibility and biodegradability, amyloid fibrils serve as building blocks for versatile sustainable materials. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are commonly used as the nano-catalysts for various electrochemical reactions. Given their large specific surface area and high surface energy, AgNPs exhibit high aggregation propensity, which hampers their electrocatalytic performance. Food protein wastes have been identified to be associated with climate change and environmental impacts, and a surplus of whey proteins in dairy industries causes high biological and chemical demands, and greenhouse gas emissions. This study is aimed at constructing sustainable electrode surface modifiers using AgNP-deposited whey protein amyloid fibrils (AgNP/WPI-AFs). AgNP/WPI-AFs were synthesized and characterized via spectroscopic techniques, electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. Next, the electrocatalytic performance of AgNP/WPI-AF modified electrode was assessed via para-nitrophenol (p-NP) reduction combined with various electrochemical analyses. Moreover, the reaction mechanism of p-NP electrocatalysis on the surface of AgNP/WPI-AF modified electrode was investigated. The detection range, limit of detection, sensitivity, and selectivity of the AgNP/WPI-AF modified electrode were evaluated accordingly. This work not only demonstrates an alternative for whey valorization but also highlights the feasibility of using amyloid-based hybrid materials as the electrode surface modifier for electrochemical sensing purposes.

ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:42479-42491. [PMID: 38024753 PMCID: PMC10652362 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c05111] [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: 07/16/2023] [Revised: 10/15/2023] [Accepted: 10/24/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023]
Abstract
In this study, an eco-friendly strategy was used to prepare a novel SrTiO3/Ag/rGO composite. A SrTiO3/Ag/rGO composite-modified screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) was applied for the electrochemical detection of 4-nitrophenol. A simple ultrasonic method with an ultrasonic frequency of 20 kHz was used for the synthesis of SrTiO3/Ag/rGO composite material. The obtained SrTiO3/Ag/rGO composite was characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared, Raman spectroscopy, field emission electron microscopy, and UV-visible spectroscopy. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used to determine the electrical conductivity of the SrTiO3/Ag/rGO composite. The electrochemical properties of the modified electrode were studied using cyclic voltammetry as well as linear sweep voltammetry techniques. In comparison to SrTiO3/SPCE, SrTiO3/Ag/SPCE, and SrTiO3/rGO/SPCE electrodes, SrTiO3/Ag/rGO/SPCE demonstrates a considerable increase in 4-nitrophenol redox peak current. At optimum conditions, a large linear response range of 0.1-1000 M, with a relatively low limit of detection (0.03 M), outperforms the previously published modified electrode for 4-nitrophenol. Moreover, the SrTiO3/Ag/rGO/SPCE electrode-based 4-nitrophenol sensor is distinguished by good selectivity, high stability, and repeatability. Furthermore, SrTiO3/Ag/rGO/SPCE contributed to the detection of 4-nitrophenol in river water and drinking water with the recovery range from 97.5 to 98.7%. The experimental finding was supported by density functional theory calculation.

Abstract
Using planar π-conjugated 2,5-diamino-1,4-benzenedithiol as organic ligand, Co-based conjugated coordination polymers (CoCCPs) with different morphology were prepared through controlling the injection rate of Co2+. When the injection rate decreases from 1.00 to 0.25 mL min-1, the obtained CoCCPs change from 2D nanosheets to quasi-1D nanorods. It is found that the different-shaped CoCCPs exhibit varying electrochemical sensing performance. The prepared CoCCPs-1 with quasi-1D nanowires and porous network structure possesses larger active area, faster electron transfer and higher accumulation ability. Moreover, the CoCCPs-1 is more active for the oxidation of p-nitrophenol (PNP), and greatly enhances its oxidation signal. Based on the morphology-tuned sensing performance of CoCCPs, a highly-sensitive electrochemical sensor has been developed for PNP, with detection limit of 0.00986 μM (9.86 nM). It was used in the analysis of wastewater samples, and the results is validated by other instrumental method.

BIOSENSORS 2023; 13:722. [PMID: 37504120 PMCID: PMC10377610 DOI: 10.3390/bios13070722] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2023] [Revised: 07/03/2023] [Accepted: 07/07/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023]
Abstract
Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS), including 3-nitro-l-tyrosine, play a dual role in human health, inducing oxidative damage and regulating cellular functions. Early and accurate detection of such molecules, such as L-tyrosine in urine, can serve as critical biomarkers for various cancers. In this study, we aimed to enhance the electrochemical detection of these molecules through the synthesis of La2Sn2O7/f-HNT nanocomposites via a simple hydrothermal method. Detailed structural and morphological characterizations confirmed successful synthesis, consistent with our expected outcomes. The synthesized nanocomposites were utilized as nanocatalysts in electrochemical sensors, showing a notable limit of the detection of 0.012 µM for the real-time detection of 3-nitro-l-tyrosine. These findings underscore the potential of nanomaterial-based sensors in advancing early disease detection with high sensitivity, furthering our understanding of cellular oxidative processes.

Abstract
In this paper, for the first time, we report the use of a new carbon paste electrode based on a low-cost pencil graphite powder modified with polyaniline (PANI) and green synthesized copper oxide nanoparticles using Ficus elastica extract as a sensor for Cd2+, Pb2+, and Hg2+. The elaborated electrode was characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, field-emission gun scanning electron microscopy (FEG-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and simultaneous thermal analysis (TGA/DSC). The electrochemical behavior of the sensor was evaluated using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques. According to CV, as well as square wave voltammetry (SWV) results, it was found that the CuONPs/PANI-CPE sensor was able to determine very low concentrations of Cd2+, Pb2+, and Hg2+ in HCl (0.01 M) either in single metal or in multi-metal solutions with a high sensitivity. Furthermore, Cd2+, Pb2+, and Hg2+ simultaneous detection on CuONPs/PANI-CPE achieved very low limits of detection (0.11, 0.16, and 0.07 μg L-1, respectively). Besides, the designed sensor displayed a good selectivity, reproducibility, and stability. Moreover, CuONPs/PANI-CPE enabled us to determine with high accuracy Cd2+, Pb2+, and Hg2+ traces in environmental matrices.

Abstract
With rapidly increasing environmental pollution, there is an urgent need for the development of fast, low-cost, and effective sensing devices for the detection of various organic and inorganic substances. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are well known for their superior optoelectronic and physicochemical properties, and have, therefore, attracted a great deal of interest in the sensor arena. The introduction of AgNPs onto the surface of two-dimensional (2D) structures, incorporation into conductive polymers, or within three-dimensional (3D) nanohybrid architectures is a common strategy to fabricate novel platforms with improved chemical and physical properties for analyte sensing. In the first section of this review, the main wet chemical reduction approaches for the successful synthesis of functional AgNPs for electrochemical sensing applications are discussed. Then, a brief section on the sensing principles of voltammetric and amperometric sensors is given. The current utilization of silver nanoparticles and silver-based composite nanomaterials for the fabrication of voltammetric and amperometric sensors as novel platforms for the detection of environmental pollutants in water matrices is summarized. Finally, the current challenges and future directions for the nanosilver-based electrochemical sensing of environmental pollutants are outlined.

Abstract
For highly sensitive detection of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) in the environment, a novel pyridine diketopyrrolopyrrole-functionalized graphene oxide (PDPP-GO) composite was constructed for the first time by an improved Hummers' method. Herein, PDPP was completely dissolved in sulfuric acid (6 mol L-1) and reacted with GO, promoting PDPP evenly adhering to the GO surface. Moreover, the specific surface area increased from 15.51 to 22.033 m2 g-1. Infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy simultaneously demonstrated that PDPP was bound to GO by the strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking conjugation. During the cyclic voltammetry test, the PDPP-GO coated glassy carbon electrode (PDPP-GO/GCE) direct electrochemical sensor gave expression to the best electrocatalytic activity for 4-nitrophenol detection than GO/GCE and bare GCE. Under optimization conditions, the as-prepared PDPP-GO/GCE sensor brought out remarkable sensitivities of 18.54 (0.5-50 μM) and 6.61 μA μM-1 cm-2 (50-163 μM) in the linear detection of 4-NP. Besides, a low detection limit of 0.10 μM, reliable long-term stability, excellent selectivity, and reproducibility were obtained. In the real sample test, the PDPP-GO/GCE demonstrated sensitive and reliable determination.

Abstract
In this study, a selective 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) sensor was developed onto a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) as an electron-sensing substrate, which decorated with sol-gel, prepared Pt nanoparticles- (NPs) embedded polypyrole-carbon black (PPy-CB)/ZnO nanocomposites (NCs) using differential pulse voltammetry. Characterizations of the NCs were performed using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Energy-Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Ultraviolet-visible Spectroscopy (UV-vis), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM), and X-ray Diffraction Analysis (XRD). The GCE modified by conducting coating binders [poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate; PEDOT:PSS] based on Pt NPs/PPy-CB/ZnO NCs functioned as the working electrode and showed selectivity toward 4-NP in a phosphate buffer medium at pH 7.0. Our analysis of 4-NP showed the linearity from 1.5 to 40.5 µM, which was identified as the linear detection range (LDR). A current versus concentration plot was formed and showed a regression co-efficient R2 of 0.9917, which can be expressed by ip(µA) = 0.2493C(µM) + 15.694. The 4-NP sensor sensitivity was calculated using the slope of the LDR, considering the surface area of the GCE (0.0316 cm2). The sensitivity was calculated as 7.8892 µAµM-1cm-2. The LOD (limit of detection) of the 4-NP was calculated as 1.25 ± 0.06 µM, which was calculated from 3xSD/σ (SD: Standard deviation of blank response; σ: Slope of the calibration curve). Limit of quantification (LOQ) is also calculated as 3.79 µM from LOQ = 10xLOD/3.3. Sensor parameters such as reproducibility, response time, and analyzing stability were outstanding. Therefore, this novel approach can be broadly used to safely fabricate selective 4-NP sensors based on nanoparticle-decorated nanocomposite materials in environmental measurement.

Abstract
Herein, an ultra-sonication technique followed by a photoreduction technique was implemented to prepare silver nanoparticle-decorated Chitosan/SrSnO3 nanocomposites (Ag-decorated Chitosan/SrSnO3 NCs), and they were successively used as electron-sensing substrates coated on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for the development of a 2,6-dinitrophenol (2,6-DNP) efficient electrochemical sensor. The synthesized NCs were characterized in terms of morphology, surface composition, and optical properties using FESEM, TEM, HRTEM, BET, XRD, XPS, FTIR, and UV-vis analysis. Ag-decorated Chitosan/SrSnO3 NC/GCE fabricated with the conducting binder (PEDOT:PSS) was found to analyze 2,6-DNP in a wide detection range (LDR) of 1.5~13.5 µM by applying the differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) approach. The 2,6-DNP sensor parameters, such as sensitivity (54.032 µA µM-1 cm-2), limit of detection (LOD; 0.18 ± 0.01 µM), limit of quantification (LOQ; 0.545 µM) reproducibility, and response time, were found excellent and good results. Additionally, various environmental samples were analyzed and obtained reliable analytical results. Thus, it is the simplest way to develop a sensor probe with newly developed nanocomposite materials for analyzing the carcinogenic contaminants from the environmental effluents by electrochemical approach for the safety of environmental and healthcare fields in a broad scale.

Abstract
An aggregation-induced emission monomer-based fluorescent molecularly imprinted poly(ionic liquid) (AIE-FMIPIL) was synthesized for the first time with an AIE probe 4-(1,2,2-triphenylvinyl)phenyl acrylate (TPE), and an ionic liquid as dual functional monomers, and an ionic liquid as cross-linker. AIE-FMIPIL displayed a sphere-like shape and its average diameter was 410 nm. The absolute quantum yields of TPE and AIE-FMIPIL were 9.23% and 12.61%, respectively. The synergetic effect of TPE in the AIE-FMIPIL framework contributed to the higher quantum yield of AIE-FMIPIL. 4-Nitrophenol (4-NP) efficiently quenched AIE-FMIPIL with high fluorescence based on the Förster resonance energy transfer mechanism. The synthesized AIE-FMIPIL sensor was highly sensitive for 4-NP detection (linear range, 0.02-1.5 μM) in the optimal detection condition, with a low detection limit of 10 nM (S/N = 3). AIE-FMIPIL showed increased sensitivity and quenching efficiency compared with AIE-FMIP comprising a traditional monomer and cross-linker. AIE-FMIPIL exhibited selective binding to 4-NP because of the imprinted sites. AIE-FMIPIL was adopted to detect 4-NP in environmental samples.

RSC Adv 2022; 12:6007-6017.

Abstract
The present work reports efficient electrochemical nanosensors for the sensitive monitoring of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) in tomato samples using various biosynthesized silver nanoparticles (bio-AgNPs). Three different bio-AgNP types were synthesized using natural plant extracts, including green tea (GT) leaf, grapefruit peel (GP), and mangosteen peel (MP), aiming to investigate their effects on the formation of bio-AgNPs, as well as the analytical performance of 4-NP. Based on the obtained results, it was found that the phytochemical content in various plant extracts directly influenced the physicochemical parameters of the created bio-AgNPs, such as particle size, crystallinity, and distribution. More importantly, these parameters have decisive effects on the electrocatalytic activity, conductivity, and electrochemical sensing performance of electrodes modified with them for 4-NP detection. Among the three bio-AgNPs evaluated, the GT-AgNPs (using green tea leaf extract) with uniform shape, small size without aggregation, and high crystallinity showed the best analytical performance for 4-NP determination. The electrode-modified GT-AgNPs exhibited a good 4-NP analytical performance with an electrochemical sensitivity of 1.25 μA μM−1 cm−2 and a detection limit of 0.43 μM in the detection range from 0.5 to 50 μM. The practical applicability of the sensor was also studied in tomato samples, promising satisfactory results toward 4-NP detection in other real samples. In this work, we systematically investigated and compared the electrochemical sensing performances of three electrodes modified with various bio-AgNPs toward 4-NP detection in tomato samples.![]()

Abstract
Conductive crystalline polypyrrole (Cryst-PPy), Nickel-polypyrrole (Ni-PPy), and copper- polypyrole (Cu-PPy) hybrid materials were prepared using a chemical polymerization method in an aqueous solution. Part I was focused on the Chemical synthesis of Cryst-PPy powder from an organic medium. Cryst-PPy powder was successfully synthesized by chemical route from an organic medium of acetonitrile with polyethylene oxide as a stabilizing agent and oxidizing agent like potassium peroxydisulfate. The morphological study was showed the presence of spherical nanoparticles and cubic microparticles giving rise to a denser structure of PPy. In the second part, the based electrodes composites were examined in the oxidation of phenol by an electrochemical process in an alkaline medium. To follow the yield of phenol degradation at the alkaline solution, UV-visible analysis was performed at the following operating conditions: current density of 0.58 mA cm-2, phenol initial concentration of 0.150 M and for 3 h processing; the rate of phenol elimination was 56%, 38% and 28% for Cu-PPy, Ni-PPy, and pure PPy electrodes respectively. Thus, can be found that the doped Cu-PPy electrodes electrode is a new material with high electrochemical oxidation ability for phenol degradation in aqueous solutions.

Abstract
A novel molecularly imprinted sensor was developed for the voltammetric determination of adrenaline (AD). MXene/carbon nanohorn (MXene/CNH) composite with good electric conductivity and enormous accessible active sites was firstly introduced as catalytic substrate. Subsequently, molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) film was fabricated in mixed solutions containing hydroxymethyl-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (functional monomer) and AD (template) through electro-polymerization process. A molecularly imprinted sensor was formed after removing the template. The morphology and elemental composition of the prepared composites were studied by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to investigate the electrochemical performance of the molecularly imprinted sensors. Under optimized conditions, the designed sensor displays a wide linear range from 1.0 nM to 60.0 μM and a low limit of detection of 0.3 nM. The developed sensor also presents good selectivity, reproducibility and long-term stability, and satisfactory feasibility in practical sample analysis. MXene/carbon nanohorns decorated with conductive molecularly imprinted poly(hydroxymethyl-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) was proposed for highly sensitive and selective detection of adrenaline.

Abstract
Transition metal chalcogenides (TMCs) have great potential in diverse electrochemical technologies owing to their unique characteristics. In the present work, we portray the design and synthesis of Vanadium selenide (V2Se9)/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) forming a two-dimensional (2D) hybrid nanocomposite via a simple hydrothermal method. The successfully synthesized nanocomposite underwent in-depth surface and morphological characterizations by XRD, Raman spectroscopy, XPS, TEM, STEM and its potential as an electro catalyst was investigated by using glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for the detection of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP). The structural features favored a high charge transfer ratio, high surface area as well as excellent conductivity and catalytic activity. The V2Se9/rGO/GCE modified electrode showed a low charge transfer resistance (Rct) of 54.057 Ω cm2, a decent detection limit (LOD) of 35.07 nM and a very high sensitivity of 22 μA μM-1 cm-2 in a working range of 0.001 μM-1150 μM. This is due to the active proton interaction, surface enhancement, and positive synergistic effect between rGO and V2Se9. The proposed sensor has good detection potential in agricultural soil, river water, fish, and beverage samples like wine and apple juice. The obtained results from our investigation would elucidate the application of the catalyst in electrochemical sensors.

Abstract
In this work, we reported a facile reduction approach for fabrication of water-soluble and ultrabright Cu nanoclusters with core-shell structure. A certain amount of reducing agent as NaBH4was introduced into the polyethyleneimine-stabilized Cu nanoclusters (CuNCs@PEI) system, which exhibited 4-fold fluorescence enhancement along with a blue shift of the emission peak. The variations of morphology, valence states and functional groups demonstrated that a Cu shell was formed surround CuNCs (defined as CuNCs-Cu@PEI), attributable to metal complex (PEI-Cu+and PEI-Cu2+) reduction. The effect of core-shell morphology on luminous and electron relaxation mechanism of CuNCs-Cu@PEI was investigated via temperature-dependent steady and time-resolved fluorescence measurements. The CuNCs-Cu@PEI with a high fluorescence quantum yields of 22.59% were able to homogeneously disperse in aqueous phase, indicating their potential applications in biological labeling, sensing and invivoimaging. Finally, the CuNCs-Cu@PEI was employed as a fluorescence probe to determine 4-nitrophenol, of which the detection limit was much lower than initial CuNCs@PEI.

Abstract
Environmental deterioration due to anthropogenic activities is a threat to sustainable, clean and green environment. Accumulation of hazardous chemicals pollutes soil, water and air and thus significantly affects all the ecosystems. This article highlight the challenges associated with various conventional techniques such as filtration, absorption, flocculation, coagulation, chromatographic and mass spectroscopic techniques. Environmental nanotechnology has provided an innovative frontier to combat the aforesaid issues of sustainable environment by reducing the non-requisite use of raw materials, electricity, excessive use of agrochemicals and release of industrial effluents into water bodies. Various nanotechnology based approaches including surface enhance scattering, surface plasmon resonance; and distinct types of nanoparticles like silver, silicon oxide and zinc oxide have contributed significantly in detection of environmental pollutants. Biosensing technology has also gained significant attention for detection and remediation of pollutants. Furthermore, nanoparticles of gold, ferric oxide and manganese oxide have been used for the on-site remediation of antibiotics, organic dyes, pesticides, and heavy metals. Recently, green nanomaterials have been given more attention to address toxicity issues of chemically synthesized nanomaterials. Hence, nanotechnology has provided a platform with tremendous applications to have sustainable environment for present as well as future generations. This review article will help to understand the fundamentals for achieving the goals of sustainable development, and healthy environment.

Abstract
We report the rational design of nanocomposite with zirconium phosphate encapsulated on graphene oxide (ZrP/GO) for the highly sensitive and selective analysis of fenitrothion (FT). The characteristics of ZrP/GO nanocomposite are systematically analyzed by various in-depth electron microscopic, spectroscopic and analytical techniques. The ZrP/GO nanocomposite modified electrodes show better electrochemical response towards FT than other electrodes. The improved electrochemical activity of nanocomposite is attributed to large surface area, high conductivity, numerous active surface sites, GO nanosheets served as the conductivity matrix while preventing ZrP from agglomeration and the synergistic effect of ZrP and GO. Benefitting from the unique features, our fabricated sensor exhibits the superior performance in terms of wide working range (0.008-26 μM), appropriate peak potential (-0.61 V), low limit of detection (0.001 µM), high sensitivity (6 µA µM-1 cm-2) with the regression coefficient of 0.999. Additionally, the electrochemical sensor also displays good selectivity, excellent stability (99.6%), reproducibility (4.9%) and reusability (6.1%). The practical applicability of ZrP/GO sensor is shown by performing the detection of FT in water samples. These results clearly suggest that the ZrP/GO nanocomposite is an efficient electrode material for the future real-time environmental monitoring of FT.

In this study, a simple urushiol-templated solvothermal method combined with calcination was proposed to fabricate N-doped three-dimensional graphene (3D-G) with Mn-doped Fe3O4 nanoparticles loaded on the surface (Mn-Fe3O4/3D-G). Because of the large active surface area, porous channel and high loading ratio of Mn-Fe3O4 nanoparticles, as-prepared Mn-Fe3O4/3D-G sensor showed high activity on the determination of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP), which are much improved from the control un-modified samples. The wide linear concentration range (5-100 μM), low detection limit (19 nM) and satisfactory recovery of 4-NP in various water samples (98.38-100.41%) indicated that the Mn-Fe3O4/3D-G electrode can be potentially used for real-world applications. This study gives a simple but meaningful strategy for constructing transition metal oxide/graphene composite materials with high electrocatalytic activity.

Abstract
Silver vanadate nanorods (β-AgVO3) with silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) decorated on the surface of the rods were synthesized by using simple hydrothermal technique and later anchored onto nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (N-rGO) to make a novel nanocomposite. Experimental analyses were carried out to identify the electronic configuration by X-ray diffraction analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis, which revealed monoclinic patterns of the C12/m1 space group with Wulff construction forming beta silver vanadate (β-AgVO3) crystals with optical density and phase transformations. Ag nucleation showed consistent results with metallic formation and electronic changes occurring in [AgO5] and [AgO3] clusters. Transmission electron microscopy and field-emission scanning electron microscopy with elemental mapping and EDX analysis of the morphology reveals the nanorod structure for β-AgVO3 with AgNPs on the surface and sheets for N-rGO. Additionally, a novel electrochemical sensor is constructed by using Ag/AgVO3/N-rGO on screen-printed carbon paste electrodes for the detection of antiviral drug levofloxacin (LEV) which is used as a primary antibiotic in controlling COVID-19. Using differential pulse voltammetry, LEV is determined with a low detection limit of 0.00792 nm for a linear range of 0.09-671 μM with an ultrahigh sensitivity of 152.19 μA μM-1 cm-2. Furthermore, modified electrode performance is tested by real-time monitoring using biological and river samples.

Abstract
Antibiotic pollution causes worldwide concern due to its more apparent consequences, namely antibiotic resistance and destruction of the environment. Extensive use of antibiotics in human and veterinary drugs releases a significant amount of toxins into the sphere of living matter, causing adverse ecological impacts. This requires the design of new analytical protocols for the effective mitigation and monitoring of hazardous pharmaceutical products to reduce the environmental burden. Therefore, we present here the hydrothermal synthesis of samarium vanadate/carbon nanofiber (SmV/CNF) composite for the determination of sulfadiazine (SFZ). The synergistic effect arising from the combination of SmV and CNF accelerates charge transfer kinetics along with the creation of more surface-active sites that benefit effective detection. The structural and compositional disclosure indicates the high purity and superior attributes of the composite material that possesses the ability to improve catalytic performance. The proposed SmV/CNF sensor exhibits important static characteristics such as wide linear response ranges, low detection limit, high sensitivity and selectivity, and increased stability. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the electrochemical performance of SmV/CNF, establishing its potential application in real-time analysis of environmentally hazardous contaminants.

Abstract
Currently, there are no approved therapeutics for Dengue virus (DENV) infection, even though it can cause fatal complications. Understanding DENV infection and its propagation process in host cells is necessary to develop specific antiviral therapeutics. Here, we developed a graphene oxide-based fluorescent system (Graphene Oxide-based Viral RNA Analysis system, GOViRA) that enables sensitive and quantitative real-time monitoring of the intracellular viral RNA level in living cells. The GOViRA system consists of a fluorescent dye-labeled peptide nucleic acid (PNA) with a complementary sequence to the DENV genome and a dextran-coated reduced graphene oxide nanocolloid (DRGON). When the dye labeled PNA is adsorbed onto DRGON, the fluorescence of the dye is effectively quenched. The quenched fluorescence signal is recovered when the dye labeled PNA forms interaction with intracellular viral RNA in DENV infected host cells. We demonstrated the successful use of the GOViRA platform for high-throughput screening to discover novel antiviral compounds. Through a cell-based high-throughput screening of FDA-approved small-molecule drugs, we identified ulipristal, a selective progesterone receptor modulator (SPRM), as a potent inhibitor against DENV infection. The anti-DENV activity of ulipristal was confirmed both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, we suggest that the mode of action of ulipristal is mediated by inhibiting viral entry into the host cells.

Abstract
Rapid-monitoring of drugs has attracted tremendous consideration owing to robust global demand for cost-effective and high effectiveness. Binary metal oxides with various morphology have been reported as electrodes for electrochemical sensor to fulfilling the clinical and enviromental requirements. In this study, strontium tungstate (SrWO4) nanoflakes have been successfully prepared via the facile sonochemical method for the first time. The characteristics of as-prepared SrWO4 are systematically measured by various analytical and spectroscopic methods. The SrWO4 nanoflakes are utilized to modify the electrochemical electrode for the sulfadiazine (SDZ) determination. The SrWO4 modified electrode possesses excellent electrocatalytic activity and high recognition capability for the electrochemical detection of SDZ. Impressively, the as-fabricated SrWO4 modified electrode attainted lowest oxidation peak at +0.93 V (vs Ag/AgCl2) with the limit of detection of 0.009 μM, the sensitivity of 0.123 µA µM-1 cm2 and linear detection range of 0.05-235 μM. The enhanced performance of proposed SrWO4-based sensors could be attributed to the catalytic effect, large surface area, good electrical conductivity and physicochemical nature. Notably, the electrocatalytic performances of the SDZ sensors are good as compared to the previous literature, indicating the significance of the newly designed SrWO4 modified electrode. The real-sample diagnosis by the SDZ detection in environmental sample demonstrates the proposed SrWO4-based sensors with good recovery range.

Abstract
A nanorod-like structured CoMoO4 embedded on boron doped-graphitic carbon nitride composite (CoMoO4/BCN) has been developed by a simple sonochemical method for electrochemical detection of furazolidone (FUZ). Interestingly, the impedance of CoMoO4/BCN fabricated screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) possesses a lower resistance charge transfer (Rct), which favors superior electrochemical detection of FUZ. Such CoMoO4/BCN/SPCE exhibits an ultralow detection limit of 1.6 nM with a concentration range of 0.04-408.9 μM, and high sensitivity of 11.6 μA μM-1 cm-2 by DPV method. In addition, biological and water samples were used for demonstration of practical application of CoMoO4/BCN/SPCE towards electrochemical detection of FUZ, and the result exhibits a satisfactory recovery.Graphical abstract.

Abstract
Potentially hazardous chemical contaminants endanger the environment and human well-being, challenging scientists and policy makers to develop holistic alternative approaches for remediation. The addition or accumulation of these chemicals can have a series of far-reaching consequences and have direct and indirect effects at multiple levels of ecological organization. Therefore, the development of a sensitive tool for the comprehensive evaluation of chemical concentrations is highly relevant. Herein, we thus report the simultaneous electrochemical detection of highly toxic hydroquinone (HQ), Hg2+, and nitrite (NO2-) compounds using nanostructured metal molybdate (M = Mg, Fe and Mn) catalysts. These functional nanomaterials are synthesized using a deep eutectic solvent (DES) modified hydrothermal method that provides sustainable aspects and energy efficient synthesis strategies. Choline chloride (ChCl)-urea DES used in this study exhibits an all-in-one behaviour by simultaneously acting as a template, reducing agent, and homogeneous means for stabilizing metal ions. This stimulates the fabrication of hierarchical structures of metal molybdates with high surface activities that cause their remarkable properties with minimal waste generation. The structural, morphological, catalytic, and electrochemical capacities of the as-synthesized MgMoO4, Fe2(MoO4)3, and MnMoO4 materials are explored through various techniques and comparatively, MnMoO4 presents superior characterization features such as a reduced particle size, increased surface area and hierarchical architectures. Owing to the exceptional physicochemical attributes, the MnMoO4 modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) demonstrates superior electrochemical activities towards the individual and simultaneous detection of HQ, Hg2+, and NO2-. Well-defined and separate peaks are observed for the simultaneous detection of HQ, Hg2+, and NO2- which is influenced by the binding energies of these pollutants. Furthermore, the modified electrode exhibits a high sensitivity of 23.8, 17.7 and 10.2 μA μM-1 cm-2 with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.026, 0.05, and 0.01 μM for HQ, Hg2+, and NO2- respectively under ideal conditions. Also, the reproducibility and anti-interference ability reinforce the application potential of the MnMoO4 modified electrode for the simultaneous electrochemical detection of HQ, Hg2+, and NO2- in real samples with better recoveries, thus assessing the effect of these hazardous chemicals on humanity.
