Nitrogen-doped carbon hollow trunk-like structure as a portable electrochemical sensor for noradrenaline detection in neuronal cells

“…Overall, the results showed real evidence that the N-doped CHT/IDA portable sensor featured certain advantages; i) strong signaling of NA in the presence of various interfering molecules, ii) low sample volume and sensitive NA response, and iii) highly stable and reproducible response upon the stable and dramatic increase of the anodic and catholic peak current at a fixed applied potential (0.27 V). The key parameters of our portable electrodebased materials such as i) high BET surface area, ii) novel open trunk morphology similar to that of a heart, including micrometer-sized holes, thin walls, and high surface-to-volume ratio, iii) porous structure, iv) N-doped graphitic carbon chain that creates a multifunctional surface with high electron density, v) several active sites with numerous plane edge defects, vi) strong binding to NA targets, and vii) fast charge transport with low surface resistance play significant role in the leverage NA sensing system [11,30,34,38].…”

“…The designed materials surface structure, size, and composition play an important role in the biomolecules sensing such as NA. Most of these materials need sophisticated preparation procedures, multiple treatment process, fabrication limitations of mechanical and thermal stabilities, low biocompatibility, and high cytotoxicity for further applications in in-vivo applications, and lack of sensitivity and selectivity [30,31]. Therefore, we aimed to synthesis an electrode material that overcome most of these limitations with beneficial advantages of i) economic benefits, ii) easy processing, iii) high electrochemical behavior, iv) solid mechanical and thermal stability, and v) intense sensing properties.…”

Stimulus-Responsive DNA Hydrogel Biosensors for Food Safety Detection

“…However, food is frequently contaminated with bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, which cause diseases such as hemolytic uremic syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, and Guillain-Barre syndrome [ 27 ]. In addition, with the spread of modern agriculture and the rapid industrialization of food, the risk of residues of pesticides, veterinary drugs and illegal additives in food is increasing [ 28 ]. Environmental and water pollution can also have an impact on food safety.…”

Modulation of the Morphological Architecture of Mn2O3 Nanoparticles to MnCoO Nanoflakes by Loading Co3+ Via a Co-Precipitation Approach for Mosquitocidal Development

“…Recently, several studies have been performed universally for developing novel strategies to avoid this crucial issue. Nanotechnology is demonstrated as a promising solution for mosquito control [ 8 , 9 ]. Nanomaterials and their derivatives, including noble nanometals (i.e., Au, Ag, Ru), carbonaceous nanomaterials, CNTs, GO, graphene, as well as the nanometal oxides, have gained great attention in the present decade [ 10 , 11 , 12 ].…”
