A novel and efficient light-controlled colorimetric assay for the quantification and detection of nitroreductase (NTR) was constructed based on p-aminophenol (pAP)-catalyzed and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH)-mediated generation of AgNPs. Due to the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenol by NTR in the presence of NADH, the hydrolysis product can be used as a catalyst to catalyze the reduction of Ag+ by NADH under the light. As the concentration of NTR increases, the value of absorbance at ca. 400 nm (A400) decreases and the color of the solution turns from brown to bright yellow. A linear correlation was obtained between A400 and the NTR concentration in the range from 1–50 μg mL−1 and the limit of detection (LOD) is 0.27 μg mL−1. The detection system does not respond to other common biological molecules due to the specificity of enzymes and the effect of the nitroreductase inhibitor on the NTR activity was also tested. Finally, we applied the assay to determine NTR in human serum samples by spiking different concentrations of NTR with a recovery of 85.2%–92.5%.

In present work, commercial microporous carbon materials are modified on the surface with phosphorus/oxygen species by using phytic acid as sole dopant, which plays crucial effect on the carbon structure, wettability, electrical conductivity, and capacitive behaviors. It reveals that with increasing the content of heteroatoms, the porosity and contact angle are decreased but the conductivity turns much larger. Furthermore, p- aminophenol is introduced to serve as redox additive, which can produce more active surface sites by forming hydrogen bond and complexation with the surface functional groups, further providing additional pseudo-capacitance. As a result, the energy density of carbon sample by phosphorus/oxygen doping in 1 m H 2 SO 4 electrolyte with p- aminophenol is as high as 9.2 Wh kg −1 , which is 2.6 than that of pristine carbon. What is more, in terms of the simple operation and effective performance, the integration of surface modification toward carbon materials and redox additive can be favorable for largely enhancing the supercapacitor performance.

To realize the reutilization of waste Myrica rubra in the analytical field, we synthesized Myrica rubra –based N-doped carbon dots (MN-CDs) and further anchored them onto the surface of Fe 3 S 4 to fabricate Fe 3 S 4 @MN-CD nanocomposites. The as-fabricated nanocomposites possessed higher peroxidase-mimetic activity than its two precursors, resulting from the synergistic effect between them, and could catalyze colorless 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) into deep blue oxTMB with a strong 652-nm absorption. Under optimized conditions (initial solution pH, 3.5; incubation temperature, 35 ℃; Fe 3 S 4 @MN-CD concentration, 50 µg mL −1 , and 652-nm absorption), Fe 3 S 4 @MN-CDs were employed for colorimetric assay of p -aminophenol ( p -AP) with wide linear range (LR, 2.9–100 µM), low detection limit (LOD, 0.87 µM), and satisfactory recoveries (86.3–105%) in environmental waters. Encouragingly, this colorimetric assay provided the relative accuracy of 97.0–99.4% as compared with conventional HPLC-UV detection. A portable smartphone-based colorimetric application was developed by combining the Fe 3 S 4 @MN-CD-based visually chromogenic reaction with a “Thing Identify” APP software. Besides, we engineered an image-capturing device feasible for field use, in which the internal-compact sealing prevented external light source from entering photography chamber, thereby reducing light interference, and also the bottom light source enhanced the intensity of blue imaging. This colorimetric platform exhibited satisfactory LR (1–500 µM), low LOD (0.3 µM), and fortification recoveries (86.6–99.6%). In the chromogenic reaction catalyzed by Fe 3 S 4 @MN-CDs, ·O 2 − played a key role in concomitant with the participation of •OH and h + . Both the colorimetric assay and smartphone-based intelligent sensing show great promising in on-site monitoring of p -AP under field conditions. Graphical Abstract

Long-lasting chemiluminescence of lucigenin/p-aminophenol (4-AP) system is explored for the first time and possible chemiluminescence enhancement mechanism is also proposed in this work. 4-AP can enhance chemiluminescence of lucigenin nearly 150 times and is stable for nearly 5 min, which overcomes the need of flow syringe pump. While o-aminophenol (2-AP) slightly enhances chemiluminescence of lucigenin and m-aminophenol (3-AP) does not. Thus, it can be applied in discrimination of three aminophenol isomers. More importantly, cyclic voltammetry proves the lowest oxidation peak for 4-AP at 115 mV, which is speculated to be the main reason for 4-AP induced chemiluminescence enhancement. It has been applied in chemiluminescence enhancement detection of 4-AP and p-nitrophenol (4-NP) from 80 nM to 60 μM, from 0.5 μM to 60 μM with limit of detection (LOD) of 26 nM and 0.17 μM, respectively. It shows high selectivity and anti-interference in chemiluminescence enhancment detection of 4-AP and 4-NP towards other organic compounds and metal ions. It also exhibits high accuracy in chemiluminescence enhancment detection of 4-AP and 4-NP in lake water with recoveries from 98.7% to 101.5% for and recoveries from 98.7% to 102.2%, respectively. It expands the study of long-lasting lucigenin chemiluminescence system and chemiluminescence method utilized in discrimination of aminophenols isomers.

Background Acetaminophen, a widely used analgesic and antipyretic drug, has become a significant aquatic micro-pollutant due to its extensive global production and increased consumption, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Its high-water solubility leads to its pervasive presence in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), posing substantial risks to the environment and human health. Biological treatment is one of the promising approaches to remove such pollutants. Although previous studies have isolated acetaminophen-degrading pure cultures and proposed catabolic pathways, the interactions between microbiotas and acetaminophen, the distribution feature of acetaminophen degradation genes, and the gene-driven fate of acetaminophen in the real-world environment remain largely unexplored. Results Among the water samples from 20 WWTPs across China, acetaminophen was detected from 19 samples at concentrations ranging from 0.06 to 29.20 nM. However, p -aminophenol, a more toxic metabolite, was detected in all samples at significantly higher concentrations (23.93 to 108.68 nM), indicating the presence of a catabolic bottleneck in WWTPs. Metagenomic analysis from both the above 20 samples and global datasets revealed a consistently higher abundance of initial acetaminophen amidases compared to downstream enzymes, potentially having explained the reason for the bottleneck. Meanwhile, a close correlation between initial amidases and Actinomycetota revealed by genome-based taxonomy suggests a species-dependent degradation pattern. Additionally, a distinct amidase ApaA was characterized by newly isolated Rhodococcus sp. NyZ502 (Actinomycetota), represents a predominant category of amidase in WWTPs. Significant phylogenetic and structural diversity observed among putative amidases suggest versatile acetaminophen hydrolysis potential in WWTPs. Conclusions This study enhances our understanding of acetaminophen’s environmental fate and highlights the possible occurrence of ecological risks driven by imbalanced genes in the process of acetaminophen degradation in global WWTPs.

In this work, Cu nanosphere-anchored Cu-based MOF derivants were synthesized by high-temperature calcination using Cu(BDC) as precursors and then combined with gold nanoparticles to give AuNPs/Cu/C composites. The proposed materials were characterized by SEM, XRD, XPS, FTIR, and EIS. Based on these composites, a sensor was constructed, which showed good electrocatalytic activities to the redox of acetaminophen (PA) and P-aminophenol (4-AP) and could be used to detect them simultaneously. Under optimal experimental conditions, the linear ranges for detection of PA and 4-AP were 0.50–150.00 and 0.50–120.00 μM with the detection limits of 0.056 and 0.084 μM, respectively. Thanks to the hierarchical and porous structural characteristics of the Cu/C material and its synergistic effect with AuNPs, it shows good sensing performance in the simultaneous detection of PA and 4-AP. The sensor has wider linear ranges, lower detection limits, good selectivities, and higher accuracies with potential environmental detection application prospects.

In this work, a novel flexible electrochemical sensor was successfully developed for the simultaneous determination of p-aminophenol and acetaminophen. The sensor is composed of a methanesulfonic acid-treated poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly(styrenesulfonic acid) film on a poly(ethylene terephthalate) substrate, which has been modified using a zinc oxide-doped tin oxide heterojunction applied through drop-coating (C-ZnO/SnO 2 -PEDOT/PET). The oxygen vacancies resulting from zinc oxide-doped tin oxide heterojunctions within highly conductive metal oxide nanomaterials enhance mass transfer and synergize seamlessly with methanesulfonic acid-treated electrically conductive dielectric PEDOT/PET films, leading to a substantial improvement in electrochemical activity. Under the optimal conditions, a wider linear range and lower detection limits were shown for p-aminophenol (2–511 μM, LOD=0.437 μM) and acetaminophen (2–591 μM, LOD=0.562 μM). In addition, the sensors demonstrated high accuracy in detecting p-aminophenol and acetaminophen in real samples, with recoveries of 99.36 %-99.60 % and 97.56 %-99.80 %, respectively. Furthermore, the flexible sensors maintained a superior electrochemical response when detecting p-aminophenol and acetaminophen at different bending angles, with relative standard deviations of 0.62 % and 1.68 %, respectively. These findings suggest potential applications for the development of wearable sensors in the future.

Using metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as the precursor and carbon spheres as the template, LaFe x Ni (1-x) O 3 (x = 1, 0.8, 0.6, 0.4, 0.2, 0) perovskite-type oxides were synthesized. The structure, morphology and valence state of as-prepared perovskite-type oxides were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance techniques were used to study the effect of Ni-doping ratios on the electrocatalytic performance of perovskite. The differential pulse voltammetry was used to measure the content of p-aminophenol (PAP) and paracetamol (PAT) through the LaFe 0.6 Ni 0.4 O 3 modified glassy carbon electrode. The experiment shows that among LaFe x Ni (1-x) O 3 (x = 1, 0.8, 0.6, 0.4, 0.2, 0) perovskite-type oxides, LaFe 0.6 Ni 0.4 O 3 was best electrode material due to its low charge transfer resistance and high electrochemical active surface area. The linear ranges of PAP and PAT were both 1.0–100.0 μM under optimized conditions, while the detection limits were 0.111 and 0.162 μM (S/N = 3), respectively. The practicality of the suggested sensor was explored through the simultaneous detection of PAP and PAT in real samples, and satisfactory findings in acetaminophen pills were obtained.

In this study, a rapid and sensitive electrochemical sensor based on amino β-cyclodextrins (NH 2 -β-CD) functionalized graphene and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) nanohybrids was successfully constructed for the simultaneous determination of p -aminophenol ( p -AP) and acetaminophen (AC). Graphene and MWCNTs were oxidized with strong acid to give carboxyl groups (COOH-f-GS/MWCNTs). Then, the NH 2 -β-CD was immobilized on its surface by EDC and NHS to prepare a porous hybrid nanocomposite (β-CD-NHCO-f-GS/MWCNTs). The composite material displays a well synergistic effect of high electrocatalytic activity and excellent conductivity of COOH-f-GS/MWCNTs and high supramolecular recognition capability of NH 2 -β-CD. The electrocatalytic mechanism and catalytic process are discussed. Under the optimum conditions, the detection limits of the as-prepared electrochemical sensor are 0.11 mM and 0.15 mM for p -AP and AC, respectively. The linear ranges are 1.0 mM to 1.32 mM for p -AP and 0.6 mM to 0.44 mM for AC. More importantly, this result was measured in the presence of each other. The electrochemical sensor can simultaneously display obvious and accurate response to p -AP and AC at different potentials with high sensitivity and less interferences.

In this study, the ion-gelation method was applied to fabricate novel Fe–carbon–bentonite–alginate beads (Fe 0 /C-BABs). Fe 0 /C-BABs could effectively control Fe release during persulfate (PS) activation in N -acetyl- p -aminophenol (APAP) oxidation. A novel two-stage approach that combined Fe 0 /C-BABs and an oyster-shell-filled bed (OSFB) column was developed to address the low pH and high Fe concentration of the effluent of the traditional PS process. The application of the Fe 0 /C-BABs and OSFB column regulated pH levels and Fe release during the advanced oxidation of APAP. The characteristics of Fe 0 /C-BABs were also investigated through scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometry, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The long-term operation performance of Fe 0 /C-BABs in a continuous fixed-bed reactor under simultaneous PS and APAP feeding was also evaluated. The effects of initial PS concentration, pH, fixed-bed weight, in-flow rate, and dissolved oxygen (DO) were investigated. Under selected conditions, 86.3% efficiency was achieved during the first stage of APAP degradation (effluent pH of 3.05, Fe contents: 106.25 mg L −1 ). Water quality improved after the effluent was passed through the OSFB column (effluent pH of 6.32, Fe contents: 21.43 mg L −1 ). Moreover, this study analyzed the free radicals and intermediates produced during APAP degradation to identify the possible routes of APAP degradation.

A novel electrochemical platform was designed and prepared for simultaneous determination of p-acetaminophen (AMP) and p-aminophenol (AP) by combining the excellent conductivity and electrocatalytic activities of tetraaminophenyl porphyrin functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs-CONH-TAPP) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The as-synthesized CNTs-CONH-TAPP composites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning electron microscope. The incisive oxidation current responses of AMP and AP at the modified electrode promised a sensitive and selective simultaneous determination of AMP and AP. Under optimized conditions, the peak currents were directly proportional to the concentrations of AMP and AP over the ranges of 4.5–500 μmol L −1 and 0.08–60 μmol L −1 , respectively, and the limits of detection were 0.44 μmol L −1 for AMP and 0.025 μmol L −1 for AP(S/N = 3) respectively. The proposed modified electrode showed excellent selectivity, reproducibility and long-term stability and could be applied in simultaneous determination of p-acetaminophen and p-aminophenol in real samples.
