Abstract
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative condition defined by the progressive death of dopaminergic neurons in the brain. The diagnosis of Parkinson's disease often uses time-consuming clinical evaluations and subjective assessments. Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) is a useful technique for electroanalytical devices due to its label-free performance, in-situ measurements, and low cost. The development of reliable diagnostic tools for Parkinson's disease can be significantly enhanced by exploring novel techniques like faradaic and non-faradaic EIS detection methods. These techniques have the ability to identify specific biomarkers or changes in electrochemical properties linked to Parkinson's disease, allowing for an early and accurate diagnosis. Faradaic EIS detection methods utilize redox processes on the electrode surface, while non-faradaic EIS methods rely on charge transfer or capacitive properties. EIS can identify biomarkers or changes in electrical properties as indicators of Parkinson's disease by measuring impedance at different frequencies. By combining both faradaic and non-faradaic EIS approaches, it may be possible to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the electrochemical changes occurring in Parkinson's disease patients. This may lead to the development of more effective diagnostic techniques and potentially opening up new avenues for personalized treatment strategies. This review explores the current research on faradaic and non-faradaic EIS approaches for diagnosing Parkinson's disease using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.

Preparation and characterization of sulphur and zinc oxide Co-doped graphitic carbon nitride for photo-assisted removal of Safranin-O dye. RSC Adv 2024; 14:8871-8884. [PMID: 38495991 PMCID: PMC10941262 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra07247a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2023] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 03/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Recently, there has been significant interest in photocatalytic reactions involving graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) due to its sp2-hybridized carbon and nitrogen content and it is an ideal candidate for blending with other materials to enhance performance. Here, we have synthesized and analyzed both doped and undoped g-C3N4 nanoparticles. Specifically, we co-doped sulfur (S) into g-C3N4, integrated it with ZnO particles, and investigated the photocatalytic potential of these nanocomposites to remove Safranin-O dye. The initial step involved the preparation of pure g-C3N4 through calcination of urea. Subsequently, S-g-C3N4 was synthesized by calcining a mixture of urea and thiourea with a 3 : 1 ratio. Finally, the ZnO-S-g-C3N4 composite was synthesized using the liquid exfoliation technique, with distilled water serving as the exfoliating solvent. These samples were characterized by advanced techniques, including UV-Vis spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), to assess their crystallinity, morphology, optical properties, and phase purity. Subsequently, these nanocomposites were employed in catalytic and photocatalytic processes to remove the Safranin-O dye (SO). The results highlighted the formation of Z-scheme junction responsible for ZnO-S-g-C3N4's significant performance improvement. The comparison of results demonstrated that S-g-C3N4 and ZnO-S-g-C3N4 composites revealed an effective removal of Safranin-O dye in the presence of UV-light as compared to pure g-C3N4, as it was attributed to the phenomenon of improved separation of photogenerated charge carriers as a result of heterojunction formation between S-g-C3N4 and ZnO interfaces. In addition to improving photocatalytic performance, this study presents a facile route for producing ZnO-S-g-C3N4 composite with superior adsorption capabilities and selectivity.

Abstract
The present study used CeO2-Co3O4 quantum dots@porous carbon/multiwalled carbon nanotube (CeO2-Co3O4 QDs@PC/MWCNT/GE) composites to modify graphite electrodes to fabricate high-sensitivity electrochemical sensors to detect the presence of oxytetracycline (OTC). The quantum dots were made from waste sugarcane bagasse. The electrochemical analysis demonstrated the superior electrochemical performance of CeO2-Co3O4 QDs@PC/MWCNT/GE, with a peak current density of 1.276 mA/cm2. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) revealed lower impedance values for CeO2-Co3O4 QDs@PC/MWCNT/GE compared to other electrodes, indicating enhanced conductivity. The modified electrode exhibited an enlarged electrochemically active area, with values of 0.602 cm2, almost seven times that of the bare graphite electrode (0.079 cm2). The results showed that the CeO2-Co3O4 QDs@PC/MWCNT/GE had excellent performance for OTC detection, and its linear calibration range was 1.007 × 10-8 to 2.04 × 10-7 M (i.e., 0.005-0.1 ppm) and 1.007 × 10-6 to 1.209 × 10-4 M (i.e., 0.5-60 ppm). The limit of detection and limit of quantification were 1.23 nM (0.61 ppb) and 4.09 nM (2.03 ppb) (S/N = 3), respectively. The electrode demonstrated long-term stability for up to 7 weeks. This method provides a new way to prepare electrochemical sensors for OTC detection.

Abstract
An aerosol jet printing-enabled dual-function biosensor for the sensitive detection of pathogens using SARS-CoV-2 RNA as an example has been developed. A CRISPR-Cas13:guide-RNA complex is activated in the presence of a target RNA, leading to the collateral trans-cleavage of ssRNA probes that contain a horseradish peroxidase (HRP) tag. This, in turn, catalyzes the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) by HRP, resulting in a color change and electrochemical signal change. The colorimetric and electrochemical sensing protocol does not require complicated target amplification and probe immobilization and exhibits a detection sensitivity in the femtomolar range. Additionally, our biosensor demonstrates a wide dynamic range of 5 orders of magnitude. This low-cost aerosol inkjet printing technique allows for an amplification-free and integrated dual-function biosensor platform, which operates at physiological temperature and is designed for simple, rapid, and accurate point-of-care (POC) diagnostics in either low-resource settings or hospitals.

Abstract
Recently, non-metallic SERS-based immunoassay has attracted much attention due to its attractive chemical enhancement (CM), chemical stability, and biocompatibility. Herein, metallic (1T)-semiconductor (2H) mixed-phase magnetic molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) was rationally developed and combined with two-dimensional (2D) graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nanosheets to realize a SERS-based recyclable immunoassay of CA125. The Fe3O4 core promoted the reliable stacking of MoS2 nanoflakes into a flower-like shape with fully-exposed active surface. Particularly, the existence of 1T phase facilitated a noble-metal-comparable SERS activity due to the high electron density-induced charge transfer process with elevated efficiency. Moreover, a conversion from bulk to 2D nanosheet was swimmingly achieved for g-C3N4 via acid etching, whose large surface area full of active electrons and functional groups triggered an enhancement factor (EF) of 7.8 × 106. Based on a typical sandwich immunostructure, a limit of detection (LOD) as 4.96 × 10-4 IU/mL was demonstrated for CA125 in a recyclable process. Finally, such an immunosensor was employed to analyze clinical samples, indicating its prodigious potentiality in the early recognition and monitoring of cancer.

Abstract
Alleviating the increasingly critical environmental pollution problems entails the sensing of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as a hazardous factor for human health wherein the development of gas sensor platforms offers an efficient strategy to detect such noxious gases. Nanomaterials, particularly carbon-based nanocomposites, are desired sensing compounds for gas detection owing to their unique properties, namely a facile and affordable synthesis process, high surface area, great selectivity, and possibility of working at room temperature. To achieve that objective, g-C3N4 (graphitic carbon nitride) was prepared from urea deploying simple heating. The ensuing porous nanosheets of g-C3N4 were utilized as a substrate for loading Au nanoparticles, which were synthesized by the laser ablation method. g-C3N4 presented a sensing sensitivity toward organic vapors, namely methanol, ethanol, and acetone vapor gases, which were significantly augmented in the presence of Au nanoparticles. Specifically, the as-prepared nanocomposite performed well with regard to the sensing of methanol vapor gas and offers a unique strategy and highly promising sensing compound for electronic and electrochemical applications.
