Abstract
Electrochemical sensors have been recognized as crucial tools for monitoring comprehensive chemical information, especially in the detection of a significant class of molecules known as phenolic compounds. These compounds can be present in water as hazardous analytes and trace contaminants, as well as in living organisms where they regulate their metabolism. The sensitive detection of phenolic compounds requires highly efficient and cost-effective electrocatalysts to enable the development of high-performance sensors. Therefore, this review focuses on the development of advanced materials with excellent catalytic activity as alternative electrocatalysts to conventional ones, with a specific emphasis on transition metal-based electrocatalysts for the detection of phenolic compounds. This research is particularly relevant in diverse sectors such as water quality, food safety, and healthcare.

Abstract
Polymeric membrane sensors based on molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) have been attractive analytical tools for detecting organic species. However, the MIPs in electrochemical sensors developed so far are usually prepared by in situ polymerization of pre-polymers and non-covalent adsorption on the surface of the working electrode. Meanwhile, the MIPs in the electrochemical sensors developed are typically made of a non-conductive polymer film. This results in a relatively low current due to the lack of electron transfer. Additionally, the smoothness of the traditional electrochemical substrate results in a low specific surface area, which reduces the sensitivity of the electrochemical sensor. Here, we describe a novel electrochemical sensor with a conductive interface and MIPs modification. The electrochemical sensor was modified by covalent coupled layer by layer self-assembly with the imprinted polymer film. The incorporation of these two conductive functional materials improves the conductivity of the electrodes and provides interface support materials to obtain high specific surface area. By using 2,4,6-trichlorophenol as the model, the sensitivity of the developed conductive sensor was greatly improved compared to that of the traditional MIPs sensor. We believe that the proposed MIPs-based sensing strategy provides a general and convenient method for making sensitive and selective electrochemical sensors.

Abstract
The phenolic compound trichlorophenol (TCP) is an ingredient in fungicides and herbicides. This compound's high stability, bioaccumulation, toxicity, and poor biodegradability result in severe environmental and biological health issues. Consequently, it is crucial to have an affordable and sensitive method for detecting TCP in environmental samples. In this study, α-phase bismuth oxide microplates and polydopamine-functionalized reduced graphene oxide (α-Bi2O3 MPs/PDA-RGO) were synthesized using a simple ultrasonic method and characterized with various analytical and physical characterizations. The conversion of the catechol moieties present in the resulting PDA-RGO material into quinones facilitates productive interactions with diverse functional groups, such as hydroxyl, amine, and imine. Consequently, the compounds 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP) engages in electrochemical interactions with the aforementioned functional groups. As a result, TCP shows more excellent selectivity on the designed α-Bi2O3 MPs/PDA-RGO/SPCE sensor. Under the optimized conditions, the sensor demonstrated a lower detection limit (0.0042 μM), a limit of quantification (0.0078 μM), good sensitivity (2.24 μA μM-1 cm2), a wide linear range (0.019-190.7 and 212.7-1649 μM), and pinpoint specificity. The efficacy of the sensor is additionally validated through the accurate identification of TCP residues in water, soil, and food samples.

Abstract
Exploration of economical, highly efficient, and environment friendly non-noble-metal-based electrocatalysts is necessary for hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER and OER) but challenging for cost-effective water splitting. Herein, metal selenium nanoparticles (M = Ni, Co & Fe) are anchored on the surface of reduced graphene oxide and a silica template (rGO-ST) through a simple one-pot solvothermal method. The resulting electrocatalyst composite can enhance mass/charge transfer and promote interaction between water molecules and electrocatalyst reactive sites. NiSe2/rGO-ST shows a remarkable overpotential (52.5 mV) at 10 mA cm-2 for the HER compared to the benchmark Pt/C E-TEK (29 mV), while the overpotential values of CoSeO3/rGO-ST and FeSe2/rGO-ST are 246 and 347 mV, respectively. The FeSe2/rGO-ST/NF shows a low overpotential (297 mV) at 50 mA cm-2 for the OER compared to RuO2/NF (325 mV), while the overpotentials of CoSeO3-rGO-ST/NF and NiSe2-rGO-ST/NF are 400 and 475 mV, respectively. Furthermore, all catalysts indicate negligible deterioration, indicating better stability during the process of HER and OER after a stability test of 60 h. The water splitting system composed of NiSe2-rGO-ST/NF||FeSe2-rGO-ST/NF electrodes requires only ∼1.75 V at 10 mA cm-2. Its performance is nearly close to that of a noble metal-based Pt/C/NF||RuO2/NF water splitting system.

Polypyrrole-induced active-edge-S and high-valence-Mo reinforced composites with boosted electrochemical performance for the determination of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol in the aquatic environment. CHEMOSPHERE 2023:139003. [PMID: 37224980 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.139003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2023] [Revised: 05/08/2023] [Accepted: 05/20/2023] [Indexed: 05/26/2023]
Abstract
With the extensive application of halogenated aromatic compounds, including 2,4,6-Trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP), improper treatment or discharge contribute to persistently harmful effects on humans and the ecosystem, rendering the identification and monitoring of 2,4,6-TCP in the aquatic environment urgently required. In this study, a highly sensitive electrochemical platform was developed using active-edge-S and high-valence-Mo rich MoS2/polypyrrole composites. MoS2/PPy illustrates superior electrochemical performance and catalytic activity and has not been explored for detecting chlorinated phenols previously. The local environment of polypyrrole induces the richness of active edge S and a high oxidation state of Mo species in the composites, both of which endorse a sensitive anodic current response due to the favored oxidation of 2,4,6-TCP through nucleophilic substitution. Also, the higher complementarity between pyrrole and 2,4,6-TCP with respective electron-rich and electron-poor features through π-π stacking interactions enhances the specific detection capability of 2,4,6-TCP by the MoS2/polypyrrole-modified electrode. The MoS2/polypyrrole-modified electrode achieved a linear range of 0.1-260 μM with an ultralow limit of detection of 0.009 μM. Additionally, the structural stability boosted by the linkage of polypyrrole and MoS2 results in good resistance and satisfactory recovery in real water samples. The compiled results demonstrate that the proposed MoS2/polypyrrole composite opens up a new potential to advance a sensitive, selective, facile fabrication, and low-cost platform for the on-site determination of 2,4,6-TCP in aquatic systems. The sensing of 2,4,6-TCP is important to monitor its occurrence and transport, and can also serve to track the effectiveness and adjust subsequent remediation treatments applied to contaminated sites.

Abstract
The electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a key process in many renewable energy systems. The development of low-cost, long-lasting alternatives to precious-metal catalysts, particularly functional electrocatalysts with high activity for OER processes, is crucial for reducing the operating expense and complexity of renewable energy generating systems. This work describes a concise method for generating marigold flower-like metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) aided manganese vanadium oxide via a hydrothermal procedure for increased OER activity. As synthesized MOF MnV oxide has a higher surface area due to the 3D flower-like structure, which is reinvented with enhanced electrocatalytic active sites. These distinctive structural features result in remarkable catalytic activity for MOF MnV oxide microflowers towards OER with a low overpotential of 310 mV at 50 mA cm-2 and a Tafel slope with only 51.4 mV dec-1 in alkaline conditions. This study provides a concise method for developing an optimized catalytic material with greater morphology and beneficial features for potential energy and environmental applications.

Abstract
The ill effects of prolonged use of rifamycin antibiotics such as rifampicin accentuates its need for detection in the environment as well as in biological fluids. Antibiotics in water and soil are long-lasting, bio-accumulative, and hazardous to aquatic species as well as human health. To address this issue, a sensing platform has been developed using Molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2) embedded on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) functionalized with β-cyclodextrin (β-cd) polymer. The formation of hybrid composite was validated with X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) with EDX analysis. The formation of microspheres were observed with hexagonal crystal system and P63/mmc space group. Furthermore, the composite was employed to fabricate an efficient electrochemical sensor for detecting the widely used antibiotic, rifampicin (RIF). The results reveal excellent activity of the sensor with a limit of detection (LOD) of 28 nM in a linear working range from 0.019 to 374.5 μM. The sensor also exhibited a high sensitivity of 11.64 μA μM-1 cm-2. Additionally, the sensor showed appreciable recovery range when monitored in real-samples such as human serum and urine, and industrial water, and fish samples.

Abstract
The modern development in the agricultural production has huge influential factors being highly beneficial and also includes some health hazards. Under the class of chlorophenols, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol is a widely used chemical which remains as a major pollutant in the environment. The detection of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol was initiated as a controlling measure to decrease the seriousness prevailing in the ecosystem. The electrochemical and UV-vis absorption sensing platform are simple and low-cost detection techniques with precise and sensitive analysis. Cadmium tin oxide integrated with the reduced graphene oxide was employed as a nanohybrid for the construction of the working electrode. The structural and morphological analysis confirmed the high degree of crystallinity of the nanocomposite with nanorod formation. The high surface area, with high charge carrier mobility, and increased electrical conductivity of the material boosted the 2,4,6-trichlorophenol detection. The active surface area was calculated to be 0.068 cm-1, 0.089 cm-1, 0.118 cm-1 and 0.146 cm-1 for all the modified electrodes. The resistance of the electrodes was about 91.4 Ω, 72.9 Ω, 48.8 Ω and 41.6 Ω. The linear range of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol was 0.019 μM-0.299 μM and 1.299 μM-1678.97 μM in electrochemical sensing and 10.99 μM-24.84 μM in UV detection. The obtained limit of detection with the formulation 3σ/SD was about 3.05 nM and 80 nM with sensitivity about 14.01 μA μM-1 cm-2. The real sample detection in environmental real samples showed good recovery results. The specific selectivity, good repeatability, reproducibility and stability analysis proves the good sensing parameters. Thus, the fabricated electrode is highly sufficient of sensing 2,4,6-trichlorophenol. These excellent features of the material can be applied for several other applications which will provide good performances.

Abstract
Global hunger and nutritional deficiency demand the advancement of existing and conventional approaches to food production. The application of nanoenabled strategies in agriculture has opened up new avenues for enhancing crop yield and productivity. Recently, two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials (NMs) have manifested new possibilities for increasing food production and nutrition. Graphene nanosheets, the 2D form of graphene has been exemplary in enhancing the loading capacity of agro-active ingredients, their target-specific delivery, bioavailability, and controlled release with slow degradation, resulting in the increased shelf-life/active time of the agro-active components. Also, the development of novel formulations/composites of MXenes and Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDs) can foster plant growth, metabolism, crop production, protection and improvement of soil quality. Additionally, the 2D NM-based biosensors can monitor the nutrient levels and other parameters affecting agronomical traits in plants. This review provides an insight into the details of 2D NM synthesis and functionalization methods. Notably, the review highlights the broad-range of 2D NM applications and their suitability in the development of nanotechnology-based agriformulations. The 2D NM-based derivatives have shown immense potential in enhancing the pedologic parameters, crop productivity, pest-protection and nutritional value. Thus, assisting in achieving food and environmental sustainability goals.

The resultant enhancement in the electrochemical behavior was achieved due to the covalent synergism among the elements coexisting together. Structural and morphological characterizations were performed by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and field emission scanning electron microscopy. MgAl2O4, ZnAl2O4 and CuAl2O4 has displayed same space group Fd3m of Laue class lattice type of the cubic structure as they were synthesized at same temperature (600 °C). CuAl2O4 spinel structure displayed a nanoneedle like structure along with the small sized cylindrical particles alongside to which CuAl2O4 spinel is combined with activated carbon (CuAl/C) and was applied to develop a facile sensor for the electrochemical detection of Acetaminophen (ACAP) using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), which exhibited maximum conductivity, and a substantial electroactive surface area. Finally, the defect-rich composite, CuAl/C, showed excellent sensor performance towards DPV with 21.5 nM limit of detection (LOD) in a wide linear working range of 0.199 μM-165.88 μM ACAP concentration, with a high sensitivity of 19.1221 μA μM-1cm2. Additionally, the sensor showed excellent recovery results in real-time analysis for environmental aquatic samples like industrial wastewater and Tuna Fish.

Abstract
Novel cube-like transition metal oxide embedded on graphitic carbon nitride (MCO@GCN) formed a hybrid composite via hydrothermal assisted sonochemical synthesis. The synthesized composite was examined with various physical characterizations such as morphological SEM, EDX, XRD, and FT-IR spectroscopy. The electrocatalytic activity of MCO@GCN composite was further investigated when used to modify a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The electrochemical sensor was investigated using modified MCO@GCN/GCE towards environmental pollutant 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP) detection with at a potential of (+ 0.654 V vs Ag/AgCl) in pH-7. The structural features have favored a high charge transfer ratio with excellent conductivity which showed a low detection limit (LOD) of 0.0068 μM and sensitivity of 23.57 μA·μM-1·cm-2 comprising a wide linear working range of 0.01-1720 μM by using differential pulse voltammetry. Besides, the MCO@GCN/GCE displayed excellent selectivity , repeatability, reproducibility, storage, and operational stability. Notably, the proposed MCO@GCN/GCE was validated with different environmental samples (tap, river, and industrial water) with RSD 0.62-2.86% and 96.51-99.66% (n = 3) recovery.

Fabricating BiOI nanostructures armed catalytic strips for selective electrochemical and SERS detection of pesticide in polluted water. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2022; 296:118754. [PMID: 34973381 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2021.118754] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2021] [Revised: 12/08/2021] [Accepted: 12/24/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
We have constructed a dual mode catalytic strip equipped with 2D BiOI nanostructures and deployed for dual mode detection sensing of hazardous trichlorophenol (TCP). Synthesized BiOI nanostructures are investigated for its crystal architecture, morphology and chemical composition. The BiOI are loaded onto the catalytic strips with the assistance of gravity offered drying process. The BiOI nanostructures offers a very less charge transfer resistance indicating its superior catalytic properties upon the electrochemical impedance studies. It reflected on providing an excellent limit of detection (LOD) and linear sensing range for TCP in electrochemical mode. For SERS, a thin plasmonic Au layer is sputter coated on BiOI equipped catalytic strips (Au@BiOI) for the TCP detection. An impressive enhancement factor of 107 is obtained for SERS detection of TCP with good LOD of 10-10 M. Fabricated dual mode BiOI based strips are thoroughly examined for operational stability and performance in real time conditions. The fabricated high performance dual mode platform for the detection of hazardous pesticides appears to be a promising prospect for the on-the-spot investigation.
