In the present work, a reduced graphene oxide and multiwalled carbon nanotube (RGO/MWCNTFe₃O₄) composite decorated with Fe₃O₄ magnetic nanoparticles was prepared as an electrochemical sensor. The surface morphology of the prepared composite was identified by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The electrochemical properties of the GCE/RGO/MWCNT-Fe₃O₄ electrode were investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and amperometry. The GCE/RGO/MWCNT-Fe₃O₄ electrode exhibited higher electrocatalytic performance towards the oxidation of hydrazine. In the optimal conditions, the GCE/RGO/MWCNT-Fe₃O₄ electrode showed a wide linear range (0.15-220 M), low limit of detection (LOD) (0.75 M), and high sensitivity (2.868 A M cm). The prepared GCE/RGO/MWCNT-Fe₃O₄ electrode also had excellent repeatability, selectivity, and reproducibility. The practical application of the electrode was confirmed with various spiked water samples and demonstrated acceptable recovery.

The development and application of an electrochemical sensor is reported for detection of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (P3HB) - a bioplastic derived from agro-industrial residues. To overcome the challenges of molecular imprinting of macromolecules such as P3HB, this study employed methanolysis reaction to break down the P3HB biopolymer chains into methyl 3-hydroxybutyrate (M3HB) monomers. Thereafter, M3HB were employed as the target molecules in the construction of molecularly imprinted sensors.

Here, we propose a fast and sensitive coulometric signal transduction method for ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) by utilizing a two-compartment cell. A potassium ion-selective electrode (K-ISE) was connected as reference electrode (RE) and placed in the sample compartment. A glassy carbon (GC) electrode coated with poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (GC/PEDOT), or reduced graphene oxide (GC/RGO), was connected as working electrode (WE) and placed in the detection compartment together with a counter electrode (CE).

An improved electrochemical sensor has been developed for sensitive detection of the p53 gene based on exponential amplification reaction (EXPAR) and CRISPR/Cas12a. Restriction endonuclease BstNI is introduced to specifically identify and cleave the p53 gene, generating primers to trigger the EXPAR cascade amplification. A large number of amplified products are then obtained to enable the lateral cleavage activity of CRISPR/Cas12a.

In this research, by using aptamer-conjugated gold nanoparticles (aptamer-AuNPs) and a modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and Acropora-like gold (ALG) nanostructure, a sandwich-like system provided for sensitive detection of heat shock protein 70 kDa (HSP70), which applied as a functional biomarker in diagnosis/prognosis of COVID-19. Initially, the surface of the GCE was improved with rGO and ALG nanostructures, respectively. Then, an aptamer sequence as the first part of the bioreceptor was covalently bound on the surface of the GCE/rGO/ALG nanostructures.
