Abstract
The detection of rosmarinic acid (Ros A) in food samples holds major significance. Simple and convenient electrochemical detection of Ros A with high performance remains a challenge. In this work, a nanochannel array-modified carbon electrode was constructed using a simple and convenient approach to achieve highly sensitive electrochemical detection of Ros A in food samples. Through simple electrochemical pre-activation of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE), oxygen-containing functional groups were introduced on the electrode surface (p-GCE). Vertically-ordered mesoporous silica film (VMSF) was stably grown on p-GCE through electrochemical-assisted self-assembly (EASA) without the introduction of another adhesive layer (VMSF/p-GCE). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) characterization demonstrated the highly ordered structure of VMSF with a nanochannel diameter around 2.7 nm. Both p-GCE and the nanochannels significantly enhanced the electrochemical signals of Ros A on the electrode, exhibiting dual signal amplification. VMSF/p-GCE demonstrated sensitive detection of Ros A with a linear range of 500 nM to 1 μM and 1 μM to 35 μM. The detection limit (DL) was 26 nM. Combining the good anti-fouling and anti-interference properties of the nanochannels, VMSF/p-GCE can achieve direct electrochemical detection of Ros A in food samples. The sensor can be easily regenerated for repeated use. The simple fabrication, high detection sensitivity and selectivity of the sensor make it a new strategy for rapid preparation of high-performance electrochemical sensors.

Highly sensitive electrochemical immunosensor based on electrodeposited platinum nanostructures confined in silica nanochannels for the detection of the carcinoembryonic antigen. Front Chem 2023; 11:1271556.

Abstract
In this study, we report a highly sensitive electrochemical immunosensor for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) detection based on the electrodeposited platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) confined in the ultrasmall nanochannels of vertically ordered mesoporous silica film (VMSF). VMSF bearing amine groups (NH2-VMSF) can be prepared on the indium tin oxide electrode surface via a one-step co-condensation route using an electrochemically assisted self-assembly method, which renders a strong electrostatic effect for [PtCl6]2- and leads to the spatial confinement of Pt NPs inside the silica nanochannels after electrodeposition. The external surface of NH2-VMSF is functionalized with CEA antibodies using glutaraldehyde as a coupling agent, resulting in an electrochemical immunosensing interface with good specificity for CEA detection. Under optimal experimental conditions, high affinity between the CEA antibody and CEA produces a steric hindrance effect for the accessibility of the electrochemical probe ([Fe(CN)6]3-) in the bulk solution to the underlying indium tin oxide surface, eventually resulting in the attenuated electrochemical signal and enabling the detection of the CEA with a wide linear range of 0.01 pg/mL∼10 ng/mL and a pretty low limit of detection of 0.30 fg/mL. Owing to the signal amplification ability of Pt NPs and the anti-biofouling property of NH2-VMSF, the as-prepared electrochemical immunosensor based on the Pt NPs@NH2-VMSF displays an accurate analysis of the CEA in human serum samples, holding significant promise for health monitoring and clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Rapid, highly sensitive, and accurate detection of tumor biomarkers in serum is of great significance in cancer screening, early diagnosis, and postoperative monitoring. In this study, an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunosensing platform was constructed by enhancing the ECL signal through in situ growth of platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) in a nanochannel array, which can achieve highly sensitive detection of the tumor marker carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). An inexpensive and readily available indium tin oxide (ITO) glass electrode was used as the supporting electrode, and a layer of amino-functionalized vertically ordered mesoporous silica film (NH2-VMSF) was grown on its surface using an electrochemically assisted self-assembly method (EASA). The amino groups within the nanochannels served as anchoring sites for the one-step electrodeposition of PtNPs, taking advantage of the confinement effect of the ultrasmall nanochannels. After the amino groups on the outer surface of NH2-VMSF were derivatized with aldehyde groups, specific recognition antibodies were covalently immobilized followed by blocking nonspecific binding sites to create an immunorecognition interface. The PtNPs, acting as nanocatalysts, catalyzed the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), significantly enhancing the ECL signal of the luminol. The ECL signal exhibited high stability during continuous electrochemical scanning. When the CEA specifically bound to the immunorecognition interface, the resulting immune complexes restricted the diffusion of the ECL emitters and co-reactants towards the electrode, leading to a reduction in the ECL signal. Based on this immune recognition-induced signal-gating effect, the immunosensor enabled ECL detection of CEA with a linear range of 0.1 pg mL-1 to 1000 ng mL-1 with a low limit of detection (LOD, 0.03 pg mL-1). The constructed immunosensor demonstrated excellent selectivity and can achieve CEA detection in serum.

Abstract
Convenient and rapid detection of alpha fetoprotein (AFP) is vital for early diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma. In this work, low-cost (0.22 USD for single sensor) and stable (during 6 days) electrochemical aptasensor was developed for highly sensitive and direct detection of AFP in human serum with the assist of vertically-ordered mesoporous silica films (VMSF). VMSF has silanol groups on the surface and regularly ordered nanopores, which could provide binding sites for further functionalization of recognition aptamer and also confer the sensor with excellent anti-biofouling capacity. The sensing mechanism relies on the target AFP-controlled diffusion of Fe(CN)63-/4- redox electrochemical probe through the nanochannels of VMSF. The resulting reduced electrochemical responses are related to the AFP concentration, allowing the linear determination of AFP with a wide dynamic linear range and a low limit of detection. Accuracy and potential of the developed aptasensor were also demonstrated in human serum by standard addition method.

Abstract
Sensitive detection of tumor biomarkers is crucial for early diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of cancer. Owing to no need of labelled antibody, formation of sandwich immunocomplexes and additional solution-based probe, probe-integrated electrochemical immunosensor for reagentless detection of tumor biomarkers is highly desirable. In this work, sensitive and reagentless detection of a tumor biomarker is realized based on fabrication of a probe-integrated immunosensor by confining redox probe in electrostatic nanocage array modified electrode. Indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode is employed as the supporting electrode because it is cheap and easily available. The silica nanochannel array consisted of two layers with opposite charges or different pore diameters was designated as bipolar films (bp-SNA). In this work, Electrostatic nanocage array is equipped on ITO electrode by growth of bp-SNA with two layered nanochannel array having different charge properties including a negatively charged silica nanochannel array (n-SNA) and a positively charged amino-modified SNA (p-SNA). Each SNA can be easily grown with 15 s using electrochemical assisted self-assembly method (EASA). Methylene blue (MB) is applied as the model electrochemical probe with positive charge to be confined in electrostatic nanocage array with stirring. The combination of the electrostatic attraction from n-SNA and the electrostatic repulsion from p-SNA endows MB with highly stable electrochemical signal during continuous scanning. When the amino groups of p-SNA are modified using the bifunctional glutaraldehyde (GA) to introduce aldehydes, the recognitive antibody (Ab) of the most commonly used tumor biomarker, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), can be covalently immobilized. After the non-specific sites are blocked, the immunosensor is successfully fabricated. As the formation of antigen-antibody complex decreases electrochemical signal, the immunosensor can achieve reagentless detection of CEA ranged from 10 pg/mL to 100 ng/mL with a low limit of detection (LOD, 4 pg/mL). Determination of CEA in human serum samples is realized with high accuracy.

Abstract
A disposable and portable electrochemical sensor was fabricated by integrating vertically-ordered silica mesoporous films (VMSF) and electrochemically reduced graphene (ErGO) on a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE). Such VMSF/ErGO/SPCEs could be prepared by a simple and controllable electrochemical method. Stable growth of VMSF on SPCE could be accomplished by the introduction of an adhesive ErGO nanolayer owing to its oxygen-containing groups and two-dimensional (2D) planar structure. An outer VMSF layer acting as a protective coating is able to prevent the leakage of the inner ErGO layer from the SPCE surface. Thanks to the electrostatic permselectivity and anti-fouling capacity of VMSF and to the good electroactive activity of ErGO, binary nanocomposites of VMSF and ErGO endow the SPCE with excellent analytical performance, which could be used to quantitatively detect doxorubicin (DOX) in biological samples (human serum and urine) with high sensitivity, good long-term stability, and low sample amounts.

Abstract
Sensitive detection of prostate-specific antigens (PSA) in serum is essential for the prevention and early treatment of prostate cancer. Simple and disposable electrochemical immunosensors are highly desirable for screening and mobile detection of PSAs in high-risk populations. Here, an electrochemical immunosensor was constructed based on amino-rich nanochannels array-modified patterned, inexpensive, and disposable indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes, which can be employed for the sensitive detection of PSA. Using an amino-group-containing precursor, a vertically ordered mesoporous silica nanochannel film (VMSF) containing amino groups (NH2-VMSF) was rapidly grown on ITO. When NH2-VMSF contained template surfactant micelle (SM), the outer surface of NH2-VMSF was directionally modified by aldehyde groups, which enabled further covalent immobilization of the recognitive antibody to prepare the immuno-recognitive interface. Owing to the charge-based selective permeability, NH2-VMSF can electrostatically adsorb negatively charged redox probes in solution (Fe(CN)63-/4-). The electrochemical detection of PSA is realized based on the mechanism that the antigen-antibody complex can reduce the diffusion of redox probes in solution to the underlying electrode, leading to the decrease in electrochemical signal. The constructed immunosensor can achieve sensitive detection of PSA in the range from 10 pg/mL to 1 μg/mL with a limit of detection (LOD) of 8.1 pg/mL. Sensitive detection of PSA in human serum was also achieved. The proposed disposable immunosensor based on cheap electrode and nanochannel array is expected to provide a new idea for developing a universal immunosensing platform for sensitive detection of tumor markers.

Abstract
Herein, we demonstrate a sensitive and rapid electrochemical method for the detection of paraquat (PQ) using a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with vertically ordered mesoporous silica films (VMSF) and a nanocarbon composite. The three-dimensional graphene-carbon nanotube (3DG-CNT) nanocarbon composite has a 3D network structure, a large electroactive area and oxygen-containing groups, promoting electron transfer between PQ and the underlying electrode and providing a suitable microenvironment for the stable growth of VMSF. This VMSF/3DG-CNT nanocomposite film could be prepared on the GCE's surface by a two-step electrochemical method with good controllability and convenience. Owing to the synergistic effect of the electrocatalytic ability of 3DG-CNT and the electrostatically enriched capacity of VMSF, the proposed VMSF/3DG-CNT/GCE has superior analytical sensitivity compared with the bare GCE. Furthermore, VMSF has excellent anti-fouling ability that makes the fabricated sensor exhibit satisfactory performance for direct analysis of PQ in environmental water samples.

Abstract
Vertically ordered mesoporous silica film (VMSF) with uniform mesoporous channels perpendicular to electrode substrate has a wide range of applications in direct electroanalysis of complex samples. However, the detection of nucleic acid bases is difficult to realize at the commonly used VMSF-modified indium tin oxide (VMSF/ITO) electrode due to the high overpotentials of underlying ITO for many small organic molecules. In this work, we demonstrated an electrochemical method for the sensitive detection of guanine (G) by integration of VMSF/ITO and tris(2,2′-bipyridine) ruthenium (II) [Ru(bpy)32+] redox mediator. Ru(bpy)32+ electrostatically accumulated by VMSF is able to act as an electron shuttle between G and underlying ITO surface, showing electrocatalytic oxidation of G and enabling the quantitative determination of G with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.058 μM and a limit of quantitation (LOQ) of 0.2 μM. Electrochemical detection performance for G could be regulated by changing the pH of the supporting electrolyte and the content of Ru(bpy)32+, achieving a wide dynamic linear range from 0.2 to 10 μM (R2 = 0.999), 2 to 100 μM (R2 = 0.999), and 10 to 500 μM (R2 = 0.998). Furthermore, owing to the good anti-fouling and anti-interference ability of VMSF, this simply sensing strategy can be applied to the direct and rapid detection of G in beer samples, and the detection of ganciclovir (G analog) content in ganciclovir eye drops.

Abstract
Convenient, rapid and sensitive detection of p-nitrophenol (p-NP), one of the priority environmental pollutants, in environmental samples is of great significance. Electrochemical sensor with simple fabrication process, high sensitivity and selectivity, good antifouling, and regeneration performance is highly desirable. Herein, an electrochemical sensing platform is demonstrated based on the integration of vertically-ordered mesoporous silica-nanochannel film (VMSF) on electrochemical pre-activated glassy carbon electrode (p-GCE), which is able to realize ultrasensitive detection of p-NP in environmental samples. Electrochemical pre-activation of GCE is achieved through a simple and green electrochemical polarization process including anodic oxidation at high voltage and the following cathodic reduction at low voltage. The p-GCE possesses enhanced active area and introduced active sites, and enables stable binding of VMSF. VMSF is easily grown on p-GCE through the electrochemically assisted self-assembly (EASA) method within 10 s. Owing to the hydrogen bonding between silanol groups and p-NP, VMSF nanochannels display strong enrichment effect for the detection of p-NP. The developed VMSF/p-GCE sensor can achieve sensitive detection of p-NP ranging from 10 nM to 1 μM and from 1 to 30 μM with a limit of detection (LOD) of 9.4 nM. Considering the antifouling ability of VMSF, detection of p-NP in pond water is achieved.

Rapid and simple determination of mercury ion (Hg2+) in pharmaceuticals and soil samples is vital for human health and the environmental monitoring. Vertically-ordered mesoporous silica films (VMSF) supported by the indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode surface were prepared by electrochemically assisted self-assembly method and utilized for electrochemical detection of Hg2+. Owing to the negatively charged channel walls and ultrasmall pore diameter, VMSF displays obvious cationic selectivity and has highly electrostatic interaction for Hg2+, giving rise to the strong electrochemical signals. By recording the anodic stripping signals of adsorbed Hg2+ using differential pulse voltammetry, quantitative detection of Hg2+ was achieved with a wide linear range (0.2 μM–20 μM) and a low limit of detection (3 nM). Furthermore, considering the anti-fouling and anti-interference capacity of VMSF, the proposed VMSF/ITO sensor has been successfully applied to detect Hg2+ in pharmaceuticals and soil samples without tedious pretreatment processes of samples.

Abstract
Convenient and sensitive detection of active analytes in complex matrix is crucial in biological, medical, and environmental analysis. Silica nanochannel array film (SNF) equipped electrochemical sensors have shown excellent anti-fouling performance in direct analysis of complex samples. In this work, we demonstrated an electrochemical sensor with anti-fouling performance for highly sensitive detection of acetaminophen (APAP) based on SNF supported by ß-cyclodextrin-graphene (CDG) nanocomposite modified Au film electrode (AuF). Because of their rich surface hydroxyls and 2D lamellar structure, CDG on AuF can serve as the nanoadhesive for compact binding SNF, which can be grown by electrochemical assisted self-assembly method in a few seconds. Attributable to the electrocatalytic property of graphene and the synergistic enrichment from both CD and SNF nanochannels towards analyte, the SNF/CDG/AuF sensor demonstrates sensitive detection of acetaminophen ranged from 0.2 to 50 μM with an ultralow limit-of-detection of 14 nM. Taking advantage of the anti-fouling ability of SNF, the sensor is able to realize accurate and convenient analysis of APAP in commercially available paracetamol tablets.
