Abstract
Developing an accurate, cost-effective, reliable, and stable glucose detection sensor for the food industry poses a significant yet challenging endeavor. Herein, we present a silver nanoparticle-decorated titanium dioxide nanoribbon array on titanium plate (Ag@TiO2/TP) as an efficient electrode for non-enzymatic glucose detection in alkaline environments. Electrochemical evaluations of the Ag@TiO2/TP electrode reveal a broad linear response range (0.001 mM - 4 mM), high sensitivity (19,106 and 4264 μA mM-1 cm-2), rapid response time (6 s), and a notably low detection limit (0.18 μM, S/N = 3). Moreover, its efficacy in measuring glucose in beverage samples shows its practical applicability. The impressive performance and structural benefits of the Ag@TiO2/TP electrode highlight its potential in advancing electrochemical sensors for small molecule detection.

Abstract
Sensors play vital roles in industry and healthcare due to the significance of controlling the presence of different substances in industrial processes, human organs, and the environment. Electrochemical sensors have gained more attention recently than conventional sensors, including optical fibers, chromatography devices, and chemiresistors, due to their better versatility, higher sensitivity and selectivity, and lower complexity. Herein, we review transition metal carbides (TMCs) and transition metal oxides (TMOs) as outstanding materials for electrochemical sensors. We navigate through the fabrication processes of TMCs and TMOs and reveal the relationships among their synthesis processes, morphological structures, and sensing performance. The state-of-the-art biological, gas, and hydrogen peroxide electrochemical sensors based on TMCs and TMOs are reviewed, and potential challenges in the field are suggested. This review can help others to understand recent advancements in electrochemical sensors based on transition metal oxides and carbides.

Abstract
In view of the serious side effects of chlortetracycline (CTC) on the human body, it is particularly important to develop rapid, sensitive, and selective technologies for the detection of CTC in food. In this work, a molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensor with [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- as signal probe was proposed for the highly sensitive and selective detection of CTC. For this purpose, TiO2, which acts as an interlayer scaffold, was uniformly grown on the surface of Ti3C2Tx sheets through a simple two-step calcination process using Ti3C2Tx as the precursor to effectively avoid the stacking of Ti3C2Tx layers due to hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces. This endowed TiO2@Ti3C2Tx with large specific surface, abundant functional sites, and rapid mass transfer. Then, polypyrrole molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) with outstanding electrical conductivity were modified on the surface of TiO2@Ti3C2Tx via simple electro-polymerization, where the pyrrole was employed as a polymeric monomer and the CTC provided a source of template molecules. This will not only provide specific recognition sites for CTC, but also facilitate electron transport on the electrode surface. The synergistic effects between TiO2@Ti3C2Tx and polypyrrole MIPs afforded the TiO2@Ti3C2Tx/MIP-based electrochemical sensor excellent detection properties toward CTC, including ultra-low limits of detection (LOD) (0.027 nM), a wide linear range (0.06-1000 nM), and outstanding stability, reproducibility, selectivity, and feasibility in real samples. The results indicate that this strategy is feasible and will broaden the horizon for highly sensitive and selective detection of CTC.

Abstract
In this work, the crystal plane of strontium oxide (SrO) nanorods was integrated into hexagonal-boron nitride (h-BN) nanosheets to form 1D-2D (SrO/h-BN) composite were utilized for the electrochemical detection of the chemotherapeutic drug 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu). 5-Fu is a clinically proven and the third most frequently applied chemotherapeutic drug for treating solid tumours, such as colorectal, stomach, cutaneous and breast malignancies. Its overdoses lead to toxic metabolite accumulation that has serious adverse consequences on humans, including neurotoxicity, death and the induction of morbidity. Therefore, to improve the chemotherapy and predict the potential adverse effects of 5-Fu residues in the human body, susceptible and quick analytical methods for detecting 5-Fu in human body fluids (blood serum/plasma and urine) are needed. The effective interaction of the synthesized SrO/h-BN composite shows increased efficiency for the electrochemical detection of 5-Fu with good selectivity. Notably, a simple sonochemical method achieved a synergistic interaction between the (100) plane of SrO and the (002) plane of h-BN. Various analytical and spectroscopic techniques were used to characterize the SrO/h-BN nanocomposite, which provided useful insights into the composition and properties of the composite material. The crystalline, structural and chemical characteristics of the as-synthesized material were characterized by XRD, Raman spectroscopy, HR-TEM, XPS and HR-SEM. Furthermore, the proposed electrode's electrochemical sensing capability was analysed using CV, EIS, DPV and i-t curve methods. Numerous active sites created on a modified electrode enhanced the mass transport and electron transfer rate, thereby increasing the electrochemical activity towards the 5-Fu detection. Consequently, under optimized conditions, the SrO/h-BN/GCE exhibited remarkable selectivity, durability, low detection limit (0.003 μM) and wide linear range (0.02-56 μM) for 5-Fu. Finally, the successful application of this sensor for 5-Fu detection in biological samples was successfully tested with high recovery percentages.
