The low-potential electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensors based on cathodic light emission of luminol have caused more and more concerns due to their good stability and reproducibility. In this work, highly porous platinum (Pt) nanostructures on ionic liquid functionalized graphene film (GR-IL/pPt) were prepared as platform to construct a label-free ECL sensor for the detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). Due to their good biocompatibility, excellent electrocatalytic activity and highly porous structure, the as-prepared GR-IL/pPt composites benefited amplified cathodic ECL signal of luminol and high loading density of the CEA antibody. After CEA was incubated with the CEA antibody, the cathodic ECL signal of luminol decreased thanks to the less conductive immunocomplex. The proposed ECL immunosensor realized high sensitivity for CEA detection with a wide linear range from 0.001 fg mL to 1 ng mL and an extremely low detection limit of 0.0003 fg mL (S/N = 3). Moreover, the sensor showed good specificity, stability and reproducibility, indicating that the provided strategy had a promising potential in clinical detection.

Lead (Pb) is a highly toxic heavy metal that causes significant health hazards and environmental damage. Thus, the detection and removal of Pb ions in freshwater sources are imperative for safeguarding public health and the environment. Moreover, the transformation of single resources into multiple high-value products is vital for achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs).

Two porphyrin-based polymeric frameworks, SnP-BTC and SnP-BTB, as visible light photocatalysts for wastewater remediation were prepared by the solvothermal reaction of -dihydroxo-[5,15,10,20-tetrakis(phenyl)porphyrinato]tin(IV) (SnP) with 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (HBTC) and 1,3,5-tris(4-carboxyphenyl)benzene (HBTB), respectively. The strong bond between the carboxylic acid group of HBTC and HBTB with the axial hydroxyl moiety of SnP leads to the formation of highly stable polymeric architectures. Incorporating the carboxylic acid group onto the surface of SnP changes the conformational frameworks as well as produces rigid structural transformation that includes permanent porosity, good thermodynamic stability, interesting morphology, and excellent photocatalytic degradation activity against AM dye and TC antibiotic under visible light irradiation.

New carbon-based materials (CMs) are recommended as attractively active materials due to their diverse nanostructures and unique electron transport pathways, demonstrating great potential for highly efficient energy storage applications, electrocatalysis, and beyond. Among these newly reported CMs, metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived CMs have achieved impressive development momentum based on their high specific surface areas, tunable porosity, and flexible structural-functional integration. However, obstacles regarding the integrity of porous structures, the complexity of preparation processes, and the precise control of active components hinder the regulation of precise interface engineering in CMs.

Background: Because arsenate (As(V)) is a highly toxic pollutant, timely on-site monitoring of its concentration is crucial for mitigating potential environmental and health hazards. Traditional on-site detection methods for As(V) often face limitations of long response time and low sensitivity. Nanozymes are nanomaterials that exhibit enzyme-like catalytic activity.

Background: The multifunctional cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) plays a pivotal role in chronic and acute inflammatory responses, underscoring the importance of accurately determining IL-6 levels for early diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of inflammation.
Results: This study developed a versatile and innovative single-particle surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) sensing platform for the precise and sensitive quantification of IL-6 in complex samples using a novel one-pot synthesized, silver ions-doped three-dimensional porous gold microparticles (PGMs) with abundant hot spots for robust SERS enhancement. By rationally designing rich cytosine-Ag-cytosine base pairs between IL-6 aptamers and complementary chains on the PGMs, we harnessed the SERS-enhancing effect to achieve highly sensitive and specific IL-6 quantification within a wide range of 10 to 10 mg/mL and a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.
