Diflubenzuron is widely used as a benzoylurea insecticide, and its impact on human health should not be underestimated. Therefore, the detection of its residues in food and the environment is crucial. In this paper, octahedral Cu-BTB was fabricated using a simple hydrothermal method. It served as a precursor for synthesizing Cu/CuO/CuO@C with a core-shell structure through annealing, creating an electrochemical sensor for the detection of diflubenzuron. The response of Cu/CuO/CuO@C/GCE, expressed as ΔI/I exhibited a linear correlation with the logarithm of the diflubenzuron concentration ranging from 1.0 × 10 to 1.0 × 10 mol·L. The limit of detection (LOD) was determined to be 130 fM using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The electrochemical sensor demonstrated excellent stability, reproducibility, and anti-interference properties. Moreover, Cu/CuO/CuO@C/GCE was successfully employed to quantitatively determine diflubenzuron in actual food samples (tomato and cucumber) and environmental samples (Songhua River water, tap water, and local soil) with good recoveries. Finally, the possible mechanism of Cu/CuO/CuO@C/GCE for monitoring diflubenzuron was thoroughly investigated.

GO/Co-MOF/PPy-350 (GPC-350) was synthesized by in situ growth of ultrafine Co-MOF on graphene oxide (GO), followed by encapsulation with polypyrrole (PPy) and calcination at 350.0℃. Meanwhile, MoS-MWCNTs (MoS-CNTs) were produced via the in situ synthesis of MoS within multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs).

pH sensing technology is pivotal for monitoring aquatic ecosystems and diagnosing human health conditions. Indium-gallium-zinc oxide electrolyte-gated thin-film transistors (IGZO EGTFTs) are highly regarded as ion-sensing devices due to the pH-dependent surface chemistry of their sensing membranes. However, applying EGTFT-based pH sensors in complex biofluids containing diverse charged species poses challenges due to ion interference and inherently low sensitivity constrained by the Nernst limit.

A novel carbon-based light-addressable potentiometric aptasensor (C-LAPS) was constructed for detection low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in serum. Carboxylated TiC MXene @reduced graphene oxide (C-MXene@rGO) was used as interface and o-phenylenediamine functionalized nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (OPD@NGQDs) as the photoelectric conversion element. The photosensitive layers composed of OPD@NGQDs/C-MXene@rGO exhibit superior photoelectric conversion efficiency and excellent biocompatibility, which contribute to an improved response signal.
