The precise quantitative analysis using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) in an uncontrollable environment still faces a significant obstacle due to the poor reproducibility of Raman signals. Herein, we propose a facile method to fabricate a self-calibrating substrate based on a flexible polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film comprising assemblies of Prussian blue (PB) and Au NPs (PB@Au) for reliable detection. PB cores were coated with an Au shell through simple electrostatic interaction, forming core–shell nanostructure PB@Au assemblies within the PVA film. The outer Au layer provided identical trends in enhancement for both the PB core and neighboring targets while PB cores served as an internal standard (IS) to correct signal fluctuations. The prevention of competitive adsorption on the metal surface between targets and ISs was achieved. The proposed PVA/PB@Au film exhibited enhanced stability of Raman signals after IS correction, resulting in improved spot-to-spot and batch-to-batch reproducibility with significantly reduced standard deviation (RSD) values from 11.42% and 25.02% to 4.43% and 9.39%, respectively. Simultaneously, a higher accuracy in the quantitative analysis of 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) and malachite green (MG) was achieved with fitting coefficient (R2) values improving from 0.9675 and 0.9418 to 0.9974 and 0.9832, respectively. Moreover, the PVA/PB@Au film was successfully applied to detect residual MG in real fish samples. This work opens up an avenue to improve the reproducibility of Raman signals for flexible SERS substrates in the detection of residues under various complex conditions.

Mercury ion (Hg2+), a bioaccumulating and toxic heavy metal, can cause severe damages to the environment and human health. Therefore, development of high-performance Hg2+ sensors is highly desirable. Herein, we construct a uniform dodecahedral shaped N-doped carbon decorated by single Fe site enzyme (Fe-N-C SAE), which exhibits good performance for Hg2+ detection. The N atom on Fe-N-C SAE can specifically recognize Hg2+ through chelation between Hg2+ and N atom, while the catalytic site on the single-atom enzyme acts as a signal amplifier. The Fe-N-C SAE-functionalized solution-gated graphene transistor exhibits a dramatic improvement in the selectivity and sensitivity of the devices. The sensor can rapidly detect Hg2+ down to 1 nM within 2 s. Besides, a relatively good repeatability and reproducibility for the detection of Hg2+ have also been found in our sensor platform. Our findings expand the application of single-atom catalysts in the field of food safety and environmental monitoring.

Due to the highly porous structure, metal organic framework (MOF)-derived materials are extensively applied in the field of electroanalysis. In this experiment, an effective electrochemical sensing based on Co 3 O 4 /C-derived ZIF-67 MOF had been constructed for ultrasensitive determination of quercetin at trace level. The resultant Co 3 O 4 /C porous polyhedron of morphology and nanostructure were carefully examined using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) techniques. Differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPV) method was adopted to analyze quercetin under the optimized conditions. The DPV response of Co 3 O 4 /C film-coated glass carbon electrode (Co 3 O 4 /C/GCE) for quercetin determination was achieved a long linearity ranging from 0.5 to 30 µM, achieving high sensitivity about 1.830 × 10 − 6 A cm − 2 µM − 1 , and the detection limit was calculated to be 0.022 µM (S/N = 3). Besides, the fabricated Co 3 O 4 /C/GCE displayed excellent selectivity, desirable repeatability, and good reproducibility. More importantly, the proposed sensor exhibited satisfactory recovery ranges and accuracy for the determination of trace quercetin in human urine and serum samples, which will make it as an alternative advantageous choice for practical on-site determination.

This work reports the investigation of a new poly(propylene-carbonate) copolymer terminated by the adamantane cages (APPC) as the stationary phase for gas chromatographic (GC) analyses. In GC, the selectivity of a stationary phase is the key factor that governs the column separation performance for analytes, particularly those of high similarity in structures and properties. As such, we employed more than a dozen of isomer mixtures of separation difficulty for investigating the separation performance of the APPC column, involving the isomers of alkanes, alkylbenzenes, halobenzenes phenols and anilines. Meanwhile, the column coated with poly(propylene carbonate) diol (PPCD) differing from APPC only in their terminal groups and two commercial columns coated with polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polysiloxane, respectively, were used as the reference columns. The separation results evidenced the distinctly advantageous performance of the APPC column over the reference columns. Moreover, the APPC column showed excellent repeatability and reproducibility with the relative standard deviation (RSD) values over the range of 0.01%–0.04% for run-to-run, 0.15%–0.28% for day-to-day and 3.4%–3.9% for column-to-column ( n = 4). Its application to GC–MS analysis of the verbena essential oil demonstrated its separation advantages for a wide range of components in practical samples. Up to date, the adamantyl-terminated poly(ether-carbonate) copolymers have not been reported in any fields. Its high-resolution performance demonstrates the feasibility of adamantyl-terminated block copolymers as highly selective stationary phases for GC analyses, which offers a vast room for fundamental researches and applications.

In this study, a molybdenum disulfide/multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MoS 2 @MWCNTs) nanocomposite was synthesized by employing a simple hydrothermal method. The flower-like structure of the MoS 2 @MWCNTs was characterized via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and the load of crystalline MoS 2 was verified via X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The as-prepared MoS 2 @MWCNTs nanocomposite was used to modify glassy carbon electrode (GCE) as an electrochemical sensor for detecting aristolochic acids (AAs). With the optimized parameters, the proposed electrochemical sensor exhibited good sensitivity and a broad linear concentration range for detecting AAs from 0.2 to 10 μ mol/L and 10 to 100 μ mol/L, with the sensitivity of −3.10 μ A/( μ mol/L) and −0.91 μ A/( μ mol/L), respectively. The detection limit was also calculated as 0.06 μ mol/L (S/N=3) based on the low background signal. Furthermore, the modified electrochemical sensor exhibited good selectivity, repeatability, reproducibility, and stability, thus showing potential application for detecting AA in chinese herbs with good mean recovery and accuracy. In other words, the MoS 2 @MWCNTs/GCE can be used as an excellent platform to detect AAs.

Designing a photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor with preponderant sensitivity and anti-interference is a challenge for detecting small molecules in real samples with complex matrices . To this end, the Bi 2 O 3 /CuBi 2 O 4 was synthesized in one step to enhance visible light's absorption ability, transferring the interfacial carrier's efficiency, a high-active Z-scheme heterojunction , and a photocathode biosensor was proposed. For the first time, we used the density functional theory to verify a Z-scheme transfer pathway of photogenerated electrons in Bi 2 O 3 /CuBi 2 O 4 and the energy band structure of Bi 2 O 3 and CuBi 2 O 4 , respectively. Bi 2 O 3 /CuBi 2 O 4 -based PEC biosensor was developed for competive immunoassay of small molecular, aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) as an example, resulting in a low detection limit of 297.4 fg/mL and a linear range of 1.4 pg/mL-280 ng/mL in urine, water, peanut, and wheat samples. Using spiked experiments, the satisfied repeatability, reproducibility, stability, and specificity of the Bi 2 O 3 /CuBi 2 O 4 -based PEC biosensor indicated a promise for application in health care, the environment, and food.
