Nanomaterials, known for their unique chemical and physical properties at the nanoscale, are crucial in advancing various cutting-edge applications. The distinct size-dependent behaviors and surface characteristics set them apart. Among these materials, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has gained considerable interest for room-temperature gas detection due to its high surface area, improved reactivity from the surface, and excellent carrier mobility, which makes it effective in sensing applications. In this work, MoS2 with excess sodium molybdate dihydrate (MoS2(Mo)) and MoS2 with excess thioacetamide (MoS2(S)) were synthesized using the hydrothermal method and tested for toluene gas sensing at various concentrations. The results indicate that MoS2(S) showed ΔR/Rair% of 343 % compared to MoS2(Mo), which is 197 % for 20 ppm toluene gas. In addition, MoS2(S) showed reduced response/recovery time. The results suggest that these MoS2-based sensors can be used for the development of room temperature sensors for toluene sensing.

This study represents a new design for an empathetic surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor that utilizes BlueP/TMDCs and BaTiO3 (barium titanate) and employs the angular interrogation technique to measure the glucose concentration level in urine samples. This design optimization involved extensive numerical analysis through the use of the Transfer Matrix Method (TMM) at a visible wavelength of λ=633 nm to enhance sensitivity, full width half maximum (FWHM), detection accuracy (DA), and quality factor (QF). Additionally, Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis was used to ensure the accuracy of the findings achieved through Transfer Matrix Method (TMM). The suggested biosensor configuration involves five layers: a BK-7 glass prism, 56 nm Ag layer, 11 nm BaTiO3 layer, BlueP/TMDCs with thickness of 0.68 nm, and a sensing medium (urine sample). Unlike earlier designs relying on conventional 2D materials or single dielectric layers, the proposed hybrid structure not only enhances light-matter interaction and optimizes electromagnetic field distribution but also outperforms other hybrid sensors by achieving superior sensitivity, detection accuracy, and quality factor. Through the use of novel combination of BlueP/TMDCs and BaTiO₃ in this hybrid sensor, the biosensor achieved significantly improved performance, with enhanced sensitivity of 435 deg/RIU at a concentration of glucose 10 g/dL, QF of 86.29442 RIU−1 as well as DA of 0.190114 deg−1 spanning a refractive index (RI) from 1.335 to 1.347.

In this work, a nanocomposite of molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) and graphene (r-GO) was synthesized using hydrothermal method, and was subsequently employed as a dopant to fabricate a hybrid coating of polypyrrole (PPy)-r-GO-MoS₂ via cyclic voltammetry (CV). The resulting coating was applied to extract five phenolic compounds, and combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS) to establish an analytical method for the determination of 3‑chloro-4-fluorophenol, 2‑chloro-4-methoxyphenol, 2,6-dimethoxyphenol, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol, and 2,6-dichloro-4-nitrophenol in environmental samples. The results indicated that PPy-MoS₂-r-GO coating exhibited superior extraction efficiency in comparison with to PPy coating. To optimize testing conditions, MoS₂-r-GO concentration for the electrochemical preparation of the coating, extraction conditions, including time, temperature, and stirring speed, were also investigated. Consequently, the analytical method exhibited an excellent linear response, with a correlation coefficient ranging from 0.9950 to 0.9980 for the five phenolic compounds in the range of 0.01 μg L⁻¹ to 50 μg L⁻¹. The detection limits were 0.00550 μg L⁻¹ - 0.00850 μg L⁻¹. This method was employed to detect phenol in real samples, yielding recoveries ranging from 89.60 % to 103.30 %, thereby confirming its practical applicability.

Exosomes are nanoscale lipid-bound vesicles secreted by various types of parent cells into the extracellular environment. They carry a wide range of bioactive molecules and serve as a crucial role in intercellular communication and tumor progression. Here, we develop an integrated microfluidic system for on-chip exosome isolation and quantum dot-based tumor marker analysis. This system integrates exosome processing and marker abundance analysis within a centimeter-scaled microfluidic chip, eliminating the need for additional off-chip treatments. We also implement YOLO v8-based image identification for sensitive and automatic detection, reducing the limit of detection (LOD) to 8.65 per microliter while minimizing manual measurement errors. Using this system, two tumor markers among four cell lines were profiled in parallel, revealing unique tumor burdens and demonstrating strong consistency with approved serological marker testing. These results highlight the potential of this technique for sensitive, precise, and automatic exosome tumor detection, paving the way for early cancer diagnosis and analysis.

Circulating extracellular vehicles (EVs) play a crucial role in intercellular communication by transporting a diverse array of biological signaling molecules. Growing evidence indicates that phosphoproteins within these EVs hold promise as biomarkers for diagnostic and prognostic assessments, particularly in oncology. In this study, EVtrap (extracellular vesicle total recovery and purification) was utilized to isolate urinary EVs. We then combined this with an advanced liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC−MS/MS) technique to perform neutral loss-information-dependent acquisition-enhanced product ion (NL-IDA-EPI) analysis. This technique is specifically tailored to quantify endogenous phosphopeptides in urinary EVs by monitoring a consistent mass loss of 49 Da (H3PO4, doubly charged state) in the MS2 spectra. In this study, over 2,000 putative phosphopeptide signals were detected in a 10-mL urine sample without the need for prior phosphopeptide enrichment, thus simplifying the process and potentially minimizing sample bias. Comparative analysis of samples from high- and low-risk prostate cancer patients and a healthy control group revealed six differentially expressed phosphopeptides. These phosphopeptides serve as a promising panel of potential biomarkers, highlighting the effectiveness of our analytical framework in tracking cancer-related signaling events via phosphorylation within EVs using NL-IDA-EPI.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising electrode modifiers in electrochemical sensing owing to their unique structural attributes, such as high surface area, tunable porosity, high catalytic activity, and abundant active sites. These properties make MOF-based systems highly effective for detecting a wide range of analytes, including heavy metals, antibiotics, environmental pollutants, and biomarkers. MOFs offer rapid, cost-effective analysis, yet challenges remain in optimizing their electrochemical properties to fully meet the demands of practical applications, particularly in energy conversion and storage (e.g., supercapacitors, batteries, and water-splitting catalysts) and in the fabrication of high-performance electrochemical sensors. This review critically examines the electrochemical properties of MOF-based materials for detecting various analytes, exploring their current limitations and potential for improvement. Particular focus is given to the design and synthesis strategies that enhance MOFs' structural and electrochemical properties, making them more suitable for real-world applications. Furthermore, this review highlights the challenges associated with MOF stability and conductivity and suggests pathways for overcoming these barriers. Reviewing recent advancements in MOF synthesis and functionality, this article provides a comprehensive overview of how MOFs can be developed as next-generation electrochemical sensing platforms. It also discusses future perspectives, including integrating MOFs into multifunctional sensors and their potential role in wearable and IoT-enabled devices. This review bridges the gap between theoretical research and practical applications, offering valuable insights into the future of MOF-based electrochemical technologies.

Abnormal alkaline phosphatase levels have been associated with several diseases, including tumor growth, diabetes, liver dysfunction and so on. Generally, the occurrence and prognosis of these diseases can be reflected by the serum alkaline phosphatase level. In this work, Eu/DBM@SiO2@SiO2 is prepared to protect the internal Eu complex from the external environment by wrapping Eu/DBM inside the silica shell. Then, Eu/DBM@SiO2@SiO2/MnO2, a sensor consists of Eu/DBM@SiO2@SiO2 and MnO2, is prepared and applied for alkaline phosphatase detection. MnO2 is used as the response part of alkaline phosphatase, which can be degraded to Mn2+ by ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid is the hydrolysate of alkaline phosphatase. In the process of this reaction, UV–vis absorption of Eu/DBM@SiO2@SiO2/MnO2 is reduced and fluorescence is turned on. Alkaline phosphatase concentration is linearly correlated with the logarithmic value of fluorescence enhancement in the range of 10.0–100.0 U/L with linear equation of Lg(F/F0)=0.008C-0.030 (R2=0.99). For fluorescence method, the LOQ is 10.0 U/L and the LOD is 4.4 U/L. For colorimetric method, the concentration of alkaline phosphatase is linearly correlated with the decrease of absorption intensity in the range of 20.0–90.0 U/L with the linear equation of A/A0=-0.012C+1.148 (R2=0.99). The LOQ is 20.0 U/L and the LOD is 7.2 U/L. The detection system has good selectivity and can detect alkaline phosphatase in human serum samples, the accuracy of the detection system is verified by the experiment of spike-in experiment. The RSD of alkaline phosphatase concentration in serum samples is in the range of 1.4–8.4 %. This method has potential application in the detection of ALP activity in biological samples.

An environmentally sustainable optode has been developed for the detection of copper ions in water-based solutions. The optode was created by immobilizing 2-[6-nitro-2-benzothiazolylazo]-4-hydroxybenzoic acid (NBTHB) onto a porous cellulosic polymer membrane. This immobilization technique is especially beneficial for dye molecules that tend to degrade in alkaline ethylenediamine solutions, which are frequently employed during optode fabrication. The optode demonstrated a linear response to copper(II) ions within the concentration range of 10 to 130 ng mL–1, achieving a high correlation coefficient of 0.9990. The quantification and detection limits were determined to be 10 and 3.0 ng mL–1, respectively. The precision results were reported as % RSD, with intra-day values of 2.30% and 1.65%, and inter-day values of 2.15% and 1.85%, respectively. The selectivity of the sensor membrane was rigorously tested for a various cations and anions, successfully establishing the tolerance limits for interfering species. It could be effectively regenerated by treatment with 0.1 M EDTA, restoring its functionality for repeated use. The optode was effectively employed to measure copper(II) ions in a range of food products, biological fluids, and environmental water samples. The results obtained were comparable to those achieved using the ICP-AES technique, demonstrating the optodes reliability and accuracy.
