Polypyrrole multi-walled carbon nanotube composite layers were used to modify the gold layer to measure heavy metal ions using the surface plasmon resonance technique. The new sensor was fabricated to detect trace amounts of mercury (Hg), lead (Pb), and iron (Fe) ions. In the present research, the sensitivity of a polypyrrole multi-walled carbon nanotube composite layer and a polypyrrole layer were compared. The application of polypyrrole multi-walled carbon nanotubes enhanced the sensitivity and accuracy of the sensor for detecting ions in an aqueous solution due to the binding of mercury, lead, and iron ions to the sensing layer. The Hg ion bonded to the sensing layer more strongly than did the Pb and Fe ions. The limitation of the sensor was calculated to be about 0.1 ppm, which produced an angle shift in the region of 0.3° to 0.6°.

This study aims to develop a microelectrode array-based neural probe that can record dopamine activity with high stability and sensitivity. To mimic the high stability of the gold standard method (carbon fiber electrodes), the microfabricated platinum microelectrode is coated with carbon-based nanomaterials. Carboxyl-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (COOH-MWCNTs) and carbon quantum dots (CQDs) were selected for this purpose, while a conductive polymer like poly (3-4-ethylene dioxythiophene) (PEDOT) or polypyrrole (PPy) serves as a stable interface between the platinum of the electrode and the carbon-based nanomaterials through a co-electrodeposition process.

Article Synopsis
- Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a class I carcinogen that resides in the human GI tract, making early detection, especially of its HopQ protein, crucial for combating infection.
- Researchers developed an electrochemical immunosensor using polypyrrole nanotubes and carbon nanotubes to detect HopQ at incredibly low concentrations, achieving exceptional sensitivity with a detection limit of 2.06 pg/mL.
- The biosensor demonstrated reliability and efficiency, showing a signal recovery of 105.5% in spiked drinking water samples, indicating its potential for quick and effective screening for H. pylori.

Planar wearable supercapacitors (PWSCs) have sparked intense interest owing to their hopeful application in smart electronics. However, current PWSCs suffered from poor electrochemical property, weak flexibility and/or large weight. To relieve these defects, in this study, we fabricated a high-performance PWSC using silk protein derived film electrodes (PPy/RSF/MWCNTs-2; RSF, PPy and MWCNTs represent regenerated silk film, polypyrrole and multi-walled carbon nanotubes, respectively, while 2 is the mass ratio of silk to MWCNTs), which were developed by 'dissolving-mixing-evaporating' and in situ polymerization.
