A new perspective of three-dimensional voltammetry is given for the study of metal complexation in the presence of adsorption phenomena and, eventually, when the electrochemical reversibility of the processes decreases. For this purpose, 3D-voltammograms are obtained as usual, i.e., by combination of chronoamperograms measured at different potential steps, but they are analysed by the new methodology of parametric signal fitting (PSF), which uses the full data matrix to fit a five-parameter equation to every component. The parametric signals can be time-dependent peaks or waves and the optimised parameters inform about the concentrations in both dissolved and adsorbed phases. The analysis can be carried out on both individual and augmented matrices. The preliminary tests on the well-known Cd(II)-glutathione system yield promising results and encourage the combination of 3D-voltammetry and PSF as a complementary tool for the study of metal complexation in complicated systems.

The use of pesticides has significantly increased and proliferated following the technological advancements established by the green revolution, aimed at boosting agricultural productivity. The extensive use of man-made chemicals as fertilizer and pesticides has consequently led to large-scale application, which has led to a number of environmental and human health problems. This study has helped to develop a laser-induced graphene (LIG) sensor for the detection of the most widely used herbicide in the world, glyphosate.

Coordination polymers (CPs) have emerged as potential energy storage materials for supercapacitors due to their tunable chemical composition, structural diversity, and multielectron redox-active sites. However, besides poor cycling stability, the practical application of dense CPs in supercapacitors is generally limited by low specific capacitance and high resistance, which are caused by their low specific surface area and dense frameworks, resulting in insufficient redox reactions of metal sites and poor ion diffusion, respectively. Here, we synthesize a new dense CP {CP-1: [Ce(obb)(HCOO)]} via self-assembly of the Ce cation and 4,4'-oxidibenzoate (obb).

A novel molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensor (MIECS) was constructed for the specific detection of sulfadiazine (SDZ) in food. Niobium carbide (NbCTx) as a typical two-dimensional lamellar nanomaterial has good electrical conductivity and unique structure, which was assembled with one-dimensional silver nanowires (AgNWs) to form quasi-three-dimensional composite nanomaterials (NbCTx/AgNWs). As spacer material, AgNWs prevented the aggregation of NbCTx and the collapse of NbCTx layers.
