Effect of perylene assembly shapes on photoelectrochemical properties and ultrasensitive biosensing behaviors toward dopamine.

In this study, a photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor based on perylene diimide derivatives (PDIs) was developed for the ultrasensitive quantification of dopamine (DA). PDIs were able to form self-assembled semiconductor nanostructures by strong π-π stacking, suitable for photoactive substances. Moreover, the shape of the PDI significantly affected the PEC properties of these nanostructures.

Amino-functionalized perylenediimide derivative with dual fluorescence emission for the detection of ascorbic acid in vivo and in vitro.

The rapid, sensitive, and selective detection of ascorbic acid (AA) is of significance in medical assays and diagnostics. In this work, a new aminoperylenediimide (APDI) derived ratiometric fluorescent probe based on the specific redox reaction of cobalt oxyhydroxide (CoOOH) and AA was constructed. APDI exhibited dual fluorescence emission peaks at 549 and 596 nm with an excitation wavelength of 494 nm.

Iodide/metal-organic frameworks (MOF) -mediated signal amplification strategy for the colorimetric detection of HO, CrO and HS.

The analytical methods based on colorimetric detection of various analytes have attracted intensive interest. However, most of them display relatively low sensitivity. Herein, a novel colorimetric strategy based on iodide/metal-organic frameworks (MOF)-mediated amplification was developed for low-cost, naked-eye detection and quantification of HO,CrO, and HS.

Development of Ochratoxin A Aptasensor Based on Au Nanoparticles@g-C₃N₄.

Ochratoxin is teratogenic, carcinogenic and immunotoxic to humans. It contains ochratoxin in many foods, so the detection of ochratoxin in food is particularly important. In this paper, gold nanoparticles (Au NPs)@g-C₃N₄ composite was synthesized by loading Au NPs on carbon nitride material, and it was immobilized on the surface of glassy carbon electrode by chitosan (Chit) as the substrate of electrochemical aptasensors.

Bifunctional MOFs-Based Ratiometric Electrochemical Sensor for Multiplex Heavy Metal Ions.

In this study, a ratiometric electrochemical sensor based on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) was developed for sensing of multiplex metal ions. The bifunctional MOFs were prepared in a way to integrate two signal tags and a detection probe. In the presence of target metal ions, the target metal ions can replace the framework metal-ion center in the original MOFs through an ion-exchange reaction, leading to ratiometric electrochemical signals under different applied potentials.

An Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay for C-Reactive Protein Based on Gold Nanoparticles@Metal Porphyrin Porous Compound.

In this paper, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using gold nanoparticles/metal porphyrin porous compound (Au NPs@PAF-40-Fe) as a marker was developed. Quantitative detection of C-reactive protein (CRP) was achieved by UV-visible spectrophotometry under optimal conditions. The sensor has a good linear relationship in the range of 0.

2D-porphrinic covalent organic framework-based aptasensor with enhanced photoelectrochemical response for the detection of C-reactive protein.

In this study, a novel photoelectrochemical (PEC) aptasensor based on two-dimensional (2D) porphyrinic covalent organic frameworks (p-COFs) for the label-free detection of C-reactive protein (CRP) is presented. The obtained p-COFs possess high conductivity and an improved stability due to strong and rigid covalent linkages. The introduction of p-COFs hinder the recombination of electrons and holes, decreasing their band gap (E), thereby which improved the photocurrent conversion efficiency.
