Various commercial and industrial products widely use highly toxic eight-carbon-chain perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS), posing a significant threat to the health of living organisms. In this study, the electrochemical detection of PFOS was achieved by developing a carbon paste electrode (CPE) using the Mo 2 Ti 2 AlC 3 MAX phase. Mo 2 Ti 2 AlC 3 was synthesized and directly used to construct the CPE. The electrochemical performance of the prepared sensor was tested using various electrochemical techniques, such as cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), and amperometric titration. The developed electrochemical sensor exhibited two linear ranges from 0.001 to 0.09 μM and from 1.1 to 62.6 μM, with a detection limit of 0.04 nM. The sensor demonstrated high sensitivity, measuring 145.1 μA μM −1 cm −2 , and a response time of 5 s for PFOS quantification at a working potential of 0.3 V. Additionally, the sensor demonstrated outstanding resistance to typical interfering chemicals. The applicability and reliability of the developed sensor for PFOS determination were further tested in real samples, yielding recoveries in the range of 92.6–108.2%, with relative standard deviation (RSD) values between 1.8% and 3.7%. The Mo 2 Ti 2 AlC 3 MAX phase-based electrochemical sensor is simple, rapid, sensitive, and cost-effective, making it a promising approach for the quantification of PFOS in environmental water and soil samples.

A simple, highly sensitive and selective assay method has been developed for the determination of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), a kind of emerging persistent organic pollutant, which is bio-accumulative, resistant to degradation and toxic. It was found that PFOS can form complexes with protonated Janus Green B (JGB) through electrostatic interaction in pH 5.8 citric acid–sodium citrate (CA–NaCA) buffer medium resulting in a remarkable enhancement of the resonance light scattering (RLS) intensity of the system. The study shows that the maximum scattering wavelength is located at 319.0 nm and the enhanced RLS intensities are in proportion to the concentration of PFOS in the range of 0.05–9.0 μmol L−1 (R2 = 0.9958), with a detection limit of 5.6 nmol L−1 (3σ). Under the same experimental conditions, various perfluorinated compounds (PFPrA, PFBA, PFPeA, PFHeA, PFHpA, PFOA, PFNA, and PFBS) and JGB interactions were studied and the scattering signal changes very little. Based on the above discussion, a simple, highly sensitive and selective resonance light scattering analysis method was established for the detection of PFOS. In this work, the optimum reaction conditions were investigated. The reaction mechanism between JGB and PFOS was also studied by the absorption spectrum, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the combination ratio and so on. This method is successfully applied to the selective detection of PFOS in environmental water samples with RSD ≤2.7%.

Perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS), an emerging organic contaminant, necessitates robust on-site detection strategies to safeguard human health and ecological balance. This study introduces a novel point-of-care testing (POCT) platform, combining a hydrogel kit with nanozymes and smartphone technology, for the highly sensitive detection of PFOS. The strategy utilizes copper-substituted cobalt-based Prussian blue analogue nanoboxes (CuCo-PBA NBs), which exhibit intricate hollow structures and remarkable peroxidase-like catalytic activity, efficiently catalyzing the oxidation of chromogenic substrates with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Density functional theory calculations elucidate the adsorption dynamics of H2O2 on CuCo-PBA NBs, identifying the factors that improve the catalytic efficiency. The colorimetric POCT platform, integrating the hydrogel kit with a smartphone interface, demonstrates practical utility and achieves a detection limit of 1.43 × 10–8 mol L–1 for PFOS. This research not only presents a new nanozyme design for PFOS detection in diverse matrices, such as lake water, whole blood, urine, and milk, but also paves the way for developing a portable and efficient POCT platform for a variety of emerging contaminants.

Besides being a luminescent material, cytidine 5′-monophosphate-capped gold nanoclusters (AuNCs@CMP) also show superior peroxidase-like activity which can promote TMB oxidation in the presence of H2O2, causing the solution to turn efficiently from pale to blue. However, the presence of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) in the above system inhibited TMB oxidation and bluing of the solution, consequently establishing a colorimetric platform of AuNCs/H2O2/TMB for PFOS determination. The results showed that it responded to PFOS over a wide range of 2.0–50 μM, with a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 150 nM. Furthermore, in-depth mechanism investigation revealed that, rather than the active site of the catalyst being occupied by PFOS, such a hypochromatic effect originated from depletion of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) by PFOS degradation, thereby also offering a unique strategy to scavenge the lethal toxicity of PFOS. In addition, the colorimetric response of AuNCs/H2O2/TMB to PFOS was extended to smartphone determination conveniently based on RGB values. Finally, the established platform was applied to PFOS determination both in soil extracts and in tap water with good recovery, which supplies a novel colorimetric platform for visual determination of PFOS in practice. The method has the advantages of being rapid, sensitive and highly selective, which highlight the design and construction of more systems for determination and elimination of lethal pollutants in environmental water.
