The first trial for electrochemical determination of Pb(II) with a bimetal organic framework derived composite, denoted as Co-N x -C@MWCNTs, is demonstrated in this work. The Co-N x -C@MWCNTs with three dimensionally braided structure was fabricated on the basis of zinc/cobalt co-centered bimetal zeolite imidazole framework (BMZIF-67) and interlaced with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Contributable to the presence of zinc/cobalt co-centers and the nitrogen-containing ligands, the homogenous dispersion of metallic cobalt and the formation of Co-N x moieties which were widely known as active sites in electrocatalysts were fulfilled. The integration of MWCNTs resulted in enhanced conductivity and extra porosity, which were also crucial for electrochemical sensing. Therefore, Co-N x -C@MWCNTs based electrochemical sensor exhibits good reliability for Pb(II) detection, with a low detection limit of 0.7 μg L −1 over a wide linear range of 2–60 μg L −1 . This design may shed lights on the fabrication of bimetal organic frameworks based electrochemical sensors in general.

In this research, a signal-off electrochemical aptasensor with high sensitivity was constructed for trace detection of zearalenone (ZEN). Specifically, Ce-based metal–organic framework and multi-walled carbon nanotubes nanocomposite was functionalized with polyethyleneimine ( [email protected] ) and served as sensing platform for its high surface area and excellent electrochemical active. Subsequently, toluidine blue (TB) was electrodeposited as the signal probe, and [email protected] nanoparticles ( [email protected] ) were dropped for the attachment of aptamer (ZEA). In the presence of ZEN, the ZEA would specifically recognize and combine with the target, causing a decrease of electrochemical signal from TB. Under the optimal conditions, the aptasensor exhibited good linear relationship for ZEN in a concentration range from 5.0 × 10 −5 to 50.0 ng/mL, while the limit of detection (LOD, S/N = 3) and limit of quantitation (LOQ, S/N = 10) were 1.0 × 10 −5 ng/mL and 2.9 × 10 −5 ng/mL, respectively. Ultimately, the aptasensor was successfully applied into ZEN detection in semen coicis real samples.

Monitoring salivary glucose has gained increased attention as a non-invasive approach to prevent and diagnose diabetes. Since the glucose concentration in saliva is lower than that in blood, the development of effective electrocatalysts for highly sensitive glucose detection is thus of great significance. In this study, a hollow nanocage from NiCo-layered double hydroxides (LDH) modified with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) is designed and further employed as the sensing material to construct a novel non-enzymatic glucose electrochemical sensor with high sensitivity. It is synthesized by utilizing pre-synthesized zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-67)/MWCNTs as a sacrificial template and subsequently conducting a simple solvent-thermal reaction with Ni(NO 3 ) 2 . Such a hollow nanocage preserves the polyhedral framework structure of the used precursor, where the hollow frame-like structure of NiCo-LDH offers accessible catalytic sites, and MWCNTs provides good conductivity. Their combination brings in a bridging effect between MWCNTs and NiCo-LDH, further leading to a large electrochemical active area and excellent catalytic activity of this hollow nanocage. The constructed sensor exhibits a detection limit as low as 0.03 μM for the glucose detection as well as wide linear ranges of 0.1–3000 μM and 3000–9231.8 μM, corresponding to the sensitivity of 2.55 and 1.15 μA mM −1 cm −2 , respectively. Moreover, this sensor enables the tracking of glucose concentration change in salivary before and after food intake. This work offers new highly sensitive sensing materials and potentially valuable approaches for non-invasive glucose detection.

4-Nitrophenol (4-NP), a hazardous chemical compound, presents significant risks to ecological balance, public well-being, and the integrity of the food supply chain. Consequently, the development of detection techniques characterized by both efficiency and precision is of utmost importance. In the present work, ZnCo(OH)F/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) composite was synthesized through a hydrothermal approach, followed by a high-temperature annealing process to transform them into ZnCo 2 O 4 /MWCNTs tailored for electrochemical sensing of 4-NP. The integration of MWCNTs during the fabrication process induced a pronounced synergistic interaction between ZnCo 2 O 4 and MWCNTs, leading to a substantial enhancement in the electrochemical performance of the composite. The ZnCo 2 O 4 /MWCNTs-based sensors exhibit notable benefits, including an expanded electrochemically active surface area, superior electrical conductivity, and exceptional selectivity. Under optimized experimental parameters (S/N = 3), the sensor exhibited a broad linear detection range (0.5–600 μM), coupled with a lower limit of detection of 0.026 μM. When used on real samples, the sensor showed recovery rates of 98.79 %–100.47 %, indicating its feasibility for practical use in environmental monitoring and food safety evaluation.

A novel Fe 2 O 3 nano-materials/oxygen functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes/triton X-100 modified carbon paste electrode (Fe 2 O 3 /MWCNTs-COOH/OP/CPE) was prepared to simultaneously detect orange G (Or G) and orange II (Or II) by electrochemical methods. Compared with the bare carbon paste electrode (CPE), Fe 2 O 3 /MWCNTs-COOH/OP/CPE exhibited obvious electrocatalytic activities towards Or G and Or II. Furthermore, the two azo dyes were identified and separated successfully, and were simultaneously determined by the redox peaks in cyclic voltammograms (CVs) and differential pulse voltammogram (DPV) under optimum conditions. In DPV, anodic peak current (Ipa) and concentrations were linearly related well for 0.1-20.0 μM Or G and 0.2-50.0 μM Or II. The limits of detection (S/N = 3) of Or G and Or II were 0.05 μM and 0.1 μM, respectively. Therefore, the electrode is suitable for the determination of Or G and Or II in industrial wastewater due to high sensitivity and selectivity, low detection limit, good reproducibility, as well as easy preparation and regeneration.

Arsenite contamination in groundwater seriously impairs human health due to its high mobility and toxicity. Herein, a novel heterostructured MWCNTs@PANI@TiO2 nanocomposite was synthesized via a one-pot polymerization process for the adsorption and photocatalytic oxidation of As(III) from aqueous solution. In the dark, the as-synthesized nanocomposite had a high adsorption capacity of As(III) at about 0.29 mmol·g–1 with an initial As(III) concentration of 0.067–0.801 mmol·L–1 at 298.15 K and exhibited a stable adsorption capacity in a wide pH range of 2–9. The adsorption kinetics of As(III) on MWCNTs@PANI@TiO2 was in accordance with the PSO model and was mainly controlled by chemical adsorption. Under visible light irradiation, the adsorption amount of As(III) on MWCNTs@PANI@TiO2 was substantially enhanced by about 57%, and the photocatalytic conversion of As(III) to As(V) was found to be caused by the photogenerated holes and superoxide free radical (•O2–). The hypothesized adsorption mechanisms of As(III) and As(V) ions on the nanocomposite were possibly ascribed to surface complexation and hydrogen-bonded interactions. The heterostructured MWCNTs@PANI@TiO2 nanocomposite offers a promising candidate for highly efficient removal of As(III) ions from arsenite-polluted groundwater.

A sandwich electrochemical sensor was fabricated based on multi-walled carbon nanotubes/ordered mesoporous carbon/AuNP (MWCNTs/CMK-3/AuNP) nanocomposites and porous core–shell nanoparticles Au@PdNPs to achieve rapid and sensitive detection of AFB 1 in complex matrices. MWCNTs/CMK-3/AuNP nanocomposite, which was prepared by self-assembly method, served as a substrate material to increase the aptamer loading and improve the conductivity and electrocatalytic activity of the electrode for the first signal amplification. Then, Au@PdNPs, which were synthesized by one-pot aqueous phase method, were applied as nanocarriers loaded with plenty of capture probe antibody (Ab) and signal molecule toluidine blue (Tb) to form the Au@PdNPs-Ab-Tb bioconjugates for secondary signal amplification. The sensing system could still significantly improve the signal output intensity even in the presence of ultra-low concentration target compound due to the dual signal amplification of MWCNTs/CMK-3/AuNP nanocomposites and Au@PdNPs-Ab-Tb. The method exhibited high selectivity, low detection limit (9.13 fg/mL), and strong stability to differentiate AFB 1 from other mycotoxins. Furthermore, the sensor has been successfully applied to the quantitative determination of AFB 1 in corn, malt, and six herbs, which has potential applications in food safety, quality control, and environmental monitoring.

Fiber-shaped supercapacitors (FSSCs) have attracted increasing attention for wearable electronics. Herein, an asymmetrical fiber-shaped supercapacitor, AFSSCs-ICS, with an innovative encapsulated core-sheath architecture has been successfully constructed for the first time. The sword-scabbard inspired AFSSCs-ICS was fabricated by simply inserting a ‘sword’ positive electrode, PPy-MWCNTs-silk, into one tubular graphene ‘scabbard’ negative electrode with H 2 SO 4 /PVA gel as electrolyte. Notably, our newly designed PPy-MWCNTs-silk electrode had an ultrahigh length specific capacitance of 15.3 mF cm −1 (corresponding to high areal or volumetric capacitance of 676.9 mF cm −2 or 376.3 F cm −3 ), representing one of the highest levels among the fabric yarn derived electrodes, while the hollow graphene tube depicted a superior linear capacitance of 19.1 mF cm −1 , which could match well with that of the PPy-MWCNTs-silk electrode. Benefiting from the innovative yet rational structure, and ideally balanced charges, the AFSSCs-ICS had an extended operating potential of 1.6 V, and an outstanding length specific capacitance of 2.3 mF cm −1 with a very admirable energy density of 0.8 μWh cm −1 , dramatically surpassing numerous reported FSSCs. Moreover, the AFSSCs-ICS device also afforded superb electrochemical and mechanical stabilities with retentions of 81% after 3000 charging-discharging cycles and 95–105% under bending degrees from 0 to 150°. This study may pave a new way for constructing coaxial fiber-shaped energy source unit for next-generation wearable and portable miniaturized electronics.

Sensitive and effective detection of xanthine oxidase (XOD) is essential for assessing human health. Herein, a dual-enzyme-based cascaded reaction system was developed for xanthine and xanthine oxidase assay based on the peroxidase (POD)-like catalytic activity of Fe 3 O 4 @MWCNTs/Hemin nanocomposite. The XOD could catalyze xanthine to produce H 2 O 2 , which is subsequently converted by Fe 3 O 4 @MWCNTs/Hemin into hydroxyl radicals (·OH) to oxidize 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to produce a light blue. Notably, it is demonstrated that the modification of MWCNTs and Hemin could significantly enhance the POD-like activity from 9.78 × 10 −8 M s −1 ( V max value of Fe 3 O 4 ) to 23.34 10 −8 M s −1 ( V max value of Fe 3 O 4 @MWCNTs/Hemin), which makes the detection of xanthine oxidase more sensitive. By using the smartphone to capture the colorimetric signal of oxidized TMB (oxTMB), the assay can detect xanthine and XOD as low as 0.250 µM and 0.216 mU mL −1 , respectively. The reliability of the method in human serum suggested satisfactory spiked recoveries in the range of 92.350–105%. This work provided a new insight for Fe 3 O 4 -based nanozyme design and monitoring XOD level in blood. Graphical Abstract

Photo-rechargeable batteries can implement solar energy harvesting and storage simultaneously and have attracted strong interest from researchers. The development of photoactive electrodes is the key to promoting the development of high-performance photocells. Herein, a free-standing BiOI@MWCNTs film is developed as photoelectrode to achieve the effective separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs for high-efficiency solar-electric-chemical energy conversion. Light can charge up photocells with a photoconversion efficiency of ∼1.3 %, as well as accelerate charge transfer without requiring any external bias voltage. Ex situ XRD and XPS tests prove that the enhanced electrochemical reaction kinetics can improve the chemical-electric energy conversion efficiency under illumination. The capacity of the proposed photocell can be increased by 10.6 % (from 195 mA h g –1 to 216 mA h g –1 at 0.2 A g –1 ) and 57.9 % (from 76 mA h g –1 to 120 mA h g –1 at 5.0 A g –1 ) in light condition, while exhibiting a cyclic life of up to 600 cycles. This work can help to deepen the understanding of photo-rechargeable batteries.

In the current study, bimetallic-organic gel (ZrFe-MOGs) were rapidly prepared without using any toxic or harmful organic solvent , and new bimetallic oxide ZrFeO x were prepared by roasting ZrFe-MOGs directly. Then ZrFeO x nanoparticles were combined with 3D RGO/MWCNTs by a solvothermal method to synthesize 3D RGO/MWCNTs@ZrFeO x hybrid. Due to its three-dimensional structure, large electroactive surface area and more active sites, and excellent conductivity, the electrocatalytic activity of the modified electrode for the oxidation of dopamine (DA) and paracetamol (PAT) was effectively improved, and the overlap of anode peak due to their closer electrochemical oxidation potentials was solved. Under optimal conditions, the linear responses to DA and PAT were in the range of 1 − 12 μM, 12 − 180 μM and 1 − 14 μM, 14 − 190 μM, respectively. The detection limits (S/N = 3) for DA and PAT were 0.230 and 0.212 μM, respectively. The optimized 3D RGO/MWCNTs@ZrFeO x has good reproducibility, repeatability, stability, selectivity, and can be used to detect DA and PAT simultaneously. In addition, the proposed RGO/MWCNTs@ZrFeO x sensor exhibited a good recovery factor in the analysis of real drug and serum samples with a relative standard deviation of less than 5 %. Importantly, the electroactive area of 3D RGO/MWCNTs@ZrFeO x , and the 2 H + /2e - mechanism of DA and PAT oxidation on the surface of 3D RGO/MWCNTs@ZrFeO x were discussed, which provided a theoretical basis for further understanding of this redox process .

The large conjugated π bond in the molecular structure of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) interacts with the benzene ring structure in di (n-butyl) phthalates (DBP) through a π - π bond . Compounds of CNTs and DBP form easily, becoming another environmental pollutant of concern. We explore whether CNTs entering animals slow down the degradation of the DBP adsorbed in the CNT cavity, thereby prolonging the "hormonal activity" of DBP. In our study, male BALb/c mice were used as experimental subjects divided into four groups: the control group; the multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) exposure group (10mg/kg/d); the DBP exposure group (2.15 mg/kg/d); and the compound exposure group (MWCNTs + DBP). After 30 days of exposure, the mice were sacrificed and their spleens used for immunotoxicology study. The results showed that the exposure groups exhibited splenomegaly and suffered severe oxidative damage to the spleen. In the compound exposure group: levels of IgA and IgG in the serum of the mice changed, and were significantly different from levels in both the MWCNTs and DBP exposure groups (p <0.05); the pathological sections of the spleen showed that the boundary between the white pulp area (WP) and the red pulp area (RP) was blurred, that the cell arrangement was loose, and that more red blood cells were retained in the spleen. Proteomics mass spectrometry analysis showed that compared with the control group, 70 proteins were up-regulated and 27 proteins were down-regulated in the MWCNTs group, 36 proteins were up-regulated and 23 proteins were down-regulated in the DBP group, 87 proteins were up-regulated and 21 proteins were down-regulated in the compound exposure group. The results of GO enrichment analysis and KEGG enrichment analysis of the differentially expressed proteins showed that the compound exposure harmed the spleen antigen recognition, processing, and presentation, inhibited the activation and proliferation of B cells and T cells, and hindered the adaptive immune responses. Our results showed that MWCNTs and DBP compounds can damage the spleen, and impair the innate and adaptive immune functions of the body.
