The enzyme creatine kinase (CK) is a biomarker that plays an extremely significant role in the early detection of cardiovascular disorders. Serum levels of CK are regularly monitored in patients with heart attacks, one of the most critical cardiovascular illnesses. In this study, a highly sensitive electrochemical immunosensor system was designed for the importance of early diagnosis of CK.

Water conductivity sensing relies universally on electrical measurements, which are subject to corrosion of the electrodes and subsequent signal drift in prolonged in situ uses. Furthermore, they cannot provide contactless sensing or remote readout. To this end, a novel device for water conductivity monitoring has been developed by employing a microenvironment-sensitive ruthenium complex, [Ru(2,2'-bipyridine-4,4'-disulfonato)], embedded into a quaternary ammonium functionalized cross-linked polymer support.

Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-based materials are the most researched polymers in the field of energy harvesting. Their production in thin-film form through printing technologies can potentially offer several manufacturing and performance advantages, such as low-cost, low-temperature processing, use of flexible substrates, custom design, low thermal inertia and surface-scaling performance. However, solution-based processes, like printing, miss fine control of the microstructure during film-forming, making it difficult to achieve a high level of polarization, necessary for PVDF to exhibit electroactive characteristics.

Polymer-based aqueous redox flow batteries (RFBs) are attracting increasing attention as a promising next-generation energy storage technology due to their potential for low cost and environmental friendliness. The search for new redox-active organic compounds for incorporation into polymer materials is ongoing, with anolyte-type compounds in high demand. In response to this need, we have synthesized and tested a range of new water-soluble redox-active s-tetrazine derivatives, including both low molecular weight compounds and polymers with different architectures.

Perovskite solar cell (PSC) technology holds great promise with continuously improving power conversion efficiency; however, the use of metal electrodes hinders its commercialization and the development of tandem designs. Although single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), as one-dimensional materials, have the potential to replace metal electrodes in PSCs, their poor conductivity still limits their application. In this study, the near-infrared (NIR)-absorbing anionic heptamethine cyanine dye-doped SWCNTs functioned in a dual role as an efficient charge-selective layer and electrode in PSCs.
