This study presents the development of an electrochemical immunosensor utilizing gold nanoparticles for the detection of creatine kinase (CK), a crucial cardiac marker. Gold nanoparticles with an average diameter of 18.3 ± 2.1 nm were synthesized and characterized, exhibiting a characteristic surface plasmon resonance peak at 520 nm. The construction of the immunosensor was observed through cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, showing notable alterations in electron transfer rates during each step of the assembly process. Optimal performance was achieved at pH 7.4, with an antibody concentration of 100 μg/mL and an incubation time of 45 minutes. The sensor demonstrated a sensitivity of 152.6 Ω/(ng/mL) and maintained its response in the presence of common interfering substances, with maximum signal deviation of 7.2 %. Testing with spiked human serum samples yielded recovery rates between 96.5 % and 103.8 %. Comparison with ELISA using clinical samples further validated the sensor's accuracy. This AuNP-based immunosensor offers a promising platform for rapid and sensitive CK detection in cardiac health assessment.

This research study describes the nanofabrication of electrospun nanofibers (ENFs) containing a coumarin tetra-substituted cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc-cou), polyaniline (PANI) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). This nanocomposite was used to modify a gold substrate which was followed by the immobilisation of a 5 % Nafion (Nf) solution affording the CoPc-cou-ENFs-Nf|Au modified electrode. Comparison of the chemically modified electrode (CME) with the bare and other modified electrodes shows that the CME under optimised conditions displayed superior detection of Hg(II) attaining a linear range of 10 – 3000 µM. Furthermore, the CME exhibits selectivity and sensitivity in an interference sample containing multiple heavy metals. A good percentage recovery of 96 % was attained when the CoPc-cou-ENFs-Nf|Au electrode was applied to a real water sample which was comparable to a percentage recovery of 98 % which was attained using the ICP-OES to analyse the same water samples.

In order to understand the effect of drying-wetting alternation on the corrosion resistance of rusted weathering steel, firstly, a rusted weathering steel was obtaioned through the preparation of stabilized rust layer on the surface of naked weathering steel; secondly, a cyclic corrosion test (CCT) of drying-wetting alternation with different cyclic periods was carried out for rusted weathering steel. With the extension of cyclic period in drying-wetting CCT, the corrosion resistance of rusted weathering steel increased from 0 cycle to 6 cycle and then decreased after 6 cycle, which was closely associated with the variations of composition and microstructure for stabilized rust layer during the process of drying-wetting CCT. From 0 cycle to 6 cycle, the increased corrosion resistance of rusted weathering steel was attributed to the abundance rise of α-FeOOH in the interior of stabilized rust layer; however, from 6 cycle to 20 cycle, the decreased corrosion resistance of rusted weathering steel was due to the partial destruction of crystal sturcuture for stabilized rust layer.

This paper reports the attachment of p-aminobenzene sulfonic acid on the surface of magnetic Fe3O4-reduced graphene oxide. Different techniques including FTIR, UV, EIS, XRD, and SEM imaging were employed for characterization. The finding indicates the successful attachment of the p-aminobenzene sulfonic acid to the surface. The synthesized material was used to make a carbon paste electrode for the determination of the essential amino acid L-tryptophan (L-Try). EIS and CV characterization of the electrode further confirms the attachment of the acid. Of the different electrode materials used, the p-aminobenzene sulfonic acid attached magnetic Fe3O4 reduced graphene oxide showed very good electrocatalytic activity. The scan rate study showed that the electrode process is an adsorption-controlled one. The prepared electrode material gave a linear curve for 0.001 μM to 10 μM L-Try concentrations, and the limit of detection and limit of quantification were 0.26 nM and 0.78 nM, respectively. Furthermore, the electrode material was employed for the determination of L-Try in a milk and banana sample.

PdAu electrocatalysts were prepared in different atomic compositions supported on ITO by sodium Borohydride process. XRD results show intense crystalline peaks related to ITO, which may mask the appearance of less crystalline Pd or Au phases. Transmission results indicate agglomeration of palladium and gold nanoparticles on the support, a phenomenon compatible with metal oxide supports. Cyclic voltammograms in the absence of urea display characteristics commonly observed for PdAu electrodes, with an increase in oxygenated species compared to pure Pd or Au. Voltammograms in the presence of urea showed oxidation processes and lower current values, indicating catalyst deactivation processes. PdAu 75:25 demonstrated higher power density values compared to other prepared electrocatalysts, suggesting a synergy between Pd and Au for urea oxidation reaction.

This study examines the corrosion behavior of steel tendons for prestressed concrete (PSC) structures under varying chloride concentrations and [Cl-]/[OH-] ratios. Tendons were exposed to controlled wet conditions, with chloride concentrations ranging from 0.0 to 0.25 mol/L, and [Cl-]/[OH-] ratios from 0.3 to 0.9. Results showed significant corrosion even at low chloride levels, with corrosion current density escalating from "high-risk" to "severe" as chloride concentration increased. The study also found that complete grouting is critical, as tendons exposed to humid environments without proper protection corrode significantly, irrespective of the chloride content. The findings suggest that traditional "critical chloride content" concepts may not apply to PSC tendons, highlighting the need for meticulous grout quality control to prevent corrosion. This research provides essential insights into the factors influencing tendon corrosion, offering guidance for improving PSC durability.

This study presents a novel electrochemical biosensor for the detection of Helicobacter pylori VacA protein using a graphene-Au nanocomposite platform. The nanocomposite was synthesized via a one-pot reduction method and characterized using SEM, XRD, and FTIR. The biosensor fabrication process was monitored through cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Optimization studies revealed ideal conditions of pH 7.4, 30-minute incubation time, and 100 μg/mL antibody concentration. The biosensor exhibited a linear response range of 0.1–100 ng/mL with a detection limit of 0.03 ng/mL. Selectivity tests against common interfering substances showed minimal cross-reactivity (<5 % signal change). The sensor demonstrated good reproducibility (3.8 % RSD) and stability (95 % signal retention after 30 days). In spiked serum samples, recoveries ranged from 96.5 % to 103.2 % with RSDs below 4.5 %. Compared to traditional methods, this biosensor offers improved sensitivity and shorter analysis time for VacA detection, potentially enhancing early diagnosis of H. pylori infections and monitoring treatment efficacy.

This study targeted evaluating the anticorrosive and antioxidative characteristics of Dittrichia viscosa (ZS-OH) extract. ZS-OH was first extracted by deploying a soxhlet and characterized by chromatographic analysis (GC/MS). In addition, a quantitative assessment of the total phenolic (TPC) and flavonoids (FC) content of the ZS-OH extract, as well as phytochemical analyses, were carried out. Antioxidant testing was conducted using the bioassay: 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). The ability of ZS-OH extract to stymie the corrosion of carbon steel in 1.0 M HCl was considered through potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). ZS-OH extract yield was 4.73 %, and GC-MS revealed 32 distinct chemicals. Neryl isovalerate (29.8 %), 1,10-di-epi-Cubenol (25.4 %), and 2,5-dimethoxy-p-cymene (11.6 %) made up the majority of the ZS-OH extract. The electrochemical results reveal that the ZS-OH extract acts as a mixed-type with an inhibition efficiency of up to 96.8 % at 500 ppm under 303 K. Surface analyses using SEM/EDS confirmed the formation of the protective layer of ZS-OH extract molecules on the C-S surface. The three major components are fully optimized in the DFT through the B3LYP functional and 6–311++G(d,p) basis sets. Molecular dynamics simulation data show the molecules of ZS-OH extract oriented beneficially on metal surfaces, providing a high surface coverage, and thus, a high inhibition performance.

This review examines the applications of electrochemical analytical techniques for detecting human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in breast cancer diagnostics. HER2 overexpression occurs in 15–20 % of breast cancers and is associated with aggressive tumor behavior. Accurate HER2 detection is crucial for prognosis and treatment selection. Electrochemical methods offer advantages over traditional techniques, including high sensitivity, rapid analysis, low cost, and potential for miniaturization. The review discusses various electrochemical approaches, focusing on immunosensors and aptamer-based sensors. Immunosensors utilize antibodies as biorecognition elements, often incorporating nanomaterials to enhance performance. Aptasensors employ synthetic oligonucleotides with high affinity and selectivity for HER2. Both sensor types demonstrate detection limits in the pico- to femtomolar range. Other promising approaches include molecularly imprinted polymer-based sensors and electrochemiluminescence methods. Despite significant progress, challenges remain in standardization, long-term stability, and clinical validation. Future developments may involve integrating electrochemical HER2 sensors with point-of-care testing (POCT) platforms, potentially enabling rapid, on-site assessment. Advancements in nanomaterials, surface chemistry, and data analysis techniques offer opportunities to improve sensor performance. As these challenges are addressed, electrochemical HER2 sensors have the potential to complement or replace current testing methods, offering more accessible and efficient HER2 assessment for improved breast cancer management.
