Phthalate esters, particularly di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), are widely used plasticizers found in various consumer products, posing significant environmental and health risks due to their endocrine-disrupting effects. In this study, a novel enzyme-free intra-capacitive biofuel cell self-powered sensor (ICBFC-SPS) was developed. The ICBFC-SPS integrated a ternary heterostructure-based capacitive anode and a cathode with a sensing interface into a single-chamber electrolytic cell. The ternary heterostructure based on Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene with ultra-small Au NPs and polypyrrole (PPy) NPs was prepared to provide the efficient glucose oxidation and robust electron production. Furthermore, the charge storage capacity was significantly enhanced through a synergistic combination of the double-layer capacitor mechanism of Ti 3 C 2 T x and the pseudocapacitive behavior of PPy. Additionally, the intercalation of PPy NPs expanded the interlayer spacing, promoting electrolyte ion diffusion and charge transfer. The ICBFC-SPS demonstrated exceptional sensitivity with a linear detection range from 0.05 to 100000 ng/L and a detection limit of 9.51 pg/L for the sensitive and selective detection of DEHP in complex environmental and biological samples. The ICBFC-SPS addresses the limitations of traditional methods by providing a self-powered, highly sensitive, and portable platform for rapid, on-site DEHP detection. This work underscores the potential of self-powered sensors as transformative tools for real-time environmental monitoring and public health protection.

A label-free and efficient electrochemical (EC) sensing platform for di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) was developed based on in situ probe nickel hexacyanoferrate nanoparticle (NiHCF NP)-decorated three-dimensional reduced graphene oxide (3D rGO) composites. NiHCF NPs in the composites as an in situ probe show a pair of well-defined peaks with good reversibility and stability. Coupling 3D rGO with NiHCF NPs not only improved the electron transfer capability of NiHCF NPs but also provided more sites for aptamer immobilization. The synthesized NiHCF NP-decorated 3D rGO composites were used to act as a substrate for the immobilization of anti-DEHP aptamer by the covalent bonding method. The designed EC sensing platform displays excellent sensing performance for DEHP with a low detection limit of 3.64 pg/L, and a linear working range of 0.01 − 1000 ng/L. The application of the sensing platform to actual environmental samples was studied and satisfactory results were obtained. Thus, the proposed EC sensing platform would provide a potential tool for efficient detection of pollutants in the environment. Graphical abstract
