Ultrasensitive detection of H2O2 via electrochemical sensor by graphene synergized with MOF-on-MOF nanozymes.

An electrochemical sensor was developed for the detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2),utilizing the synergistic effects of graphene (Gr) and MOF-on-MOF nanozymes (FeCu-NZs). Initially, Fe-MOF with peroxide-like activity is synthesized using a solvothermal method. Subsequently, the organic ligand on its surface binds Cu2+, enhancing the enzyme-like activity further. The resulting FeCu-NZs exhibit a distinctive electrochemical signal in response to H2O2. Moreover, integrating FeCu-NZs with Gr significantly amplifies the electrochemical signal and effectively reduces the sensor's detection limit. The developed sensor exhibited linear ranges of 0.1-3800 μM, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.06 μM. Additionally, FeCu-NZs catalyze H2O2 to generate abundant •OH radicals, and colorimetric detection of H2O2 is facilitated using the color rendering principle of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). Notably, this detection method was applied to determine H2O2 concentrations in real samples, achieving a recovery exceeding 95.7%. In summary, this research provides a practical platform for the construction of traditional nanozymes and the integration of electrochemical systems, which have broad applications in food analysis, environmental monitoring, and medical diagnosis.

Preparation of g-C3N4/NS-CQDs composites and their application in the detection of hydrogen peroxide and glucose

Based on the excellent properties of g-C3N4, co-doped carbon quantum dots (NS-CQDs) were selected to modify it in order to enhance its peroxidase-like activity, and the synthesized NS-CQDs/g-C3N4 nano-enzymes were applied to the detection of common small molecules, such as hydrogen peroxide and glucose, to provide theoretical basis for the construction of g-C3N4 nano-enzymes-based biosensors. FT-IR, SEM, TEM, and other characterization methods determined the composition and morphology of NS-CQDs/g-C3N4. This paper discusses the influence of different morphologies on composites’ catalytic activity. According to the fluorescence spectrum, thecatalytic mechanismfollowsthe hydroxyl radicalmechanism. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the prepared composites were used to detect glucose, and the resultant detection limit of glucose was 1.63 μΜ. The results showed that NS-CQDs/g-C3N4 outperforms most of the nanoenzymes of similar materials, which provides a new idea to broaden its application in nanoenzymes.

Hydrogen peroxide and glucose detection using surface plasmon resonance imaging biosensor with corrodible silver thin film

A surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRI)-based biosensor is demonstrated for the detection of both hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and glucose. The H2O2 to be detected acts as an oxidant and etch the silver film. This process gradually effects on resonance condition and consequently the reflected light intensity at a fixed angle. The etching rate of the silver film shows a clear relation with the H2O2 concentration. Therefore, monitoring the reflected light intensity progressively changing over a few minutes, enables accurate detection of H2O2 concentrations ranging from 0 to 200 μM (within physiological range of 0.25–50 μM), with a remarkable limit of detection (LOD) as low as 40 nM. In this regard, the behavior of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) dip in response to the reduction of the silver film thickness is predicted by Winspall simulation software. These simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental results. Moreover, the proposed method can be applied to determine glucose concentrations ranging from 0 to 10 mM, encompassing the physiological range of 3–8 mM. This is achieved by observing the generated H2O2 through the enzymatic oxidation reaction between glucose and glucose oxidase (Gox). The sensor demonstrates remarkable sensitivity and selectivity, with a detection limit as low as 175 μM for glucose concentration. Furthermore, accurate measurement of glucose concentration in an actual human serum sample is achievable with the proposed sensor, using the standard addition method. The suggested glucose sensor shows promising prospects for use in routine glucose testing, employing a label-free, real-time, and multiplex detection approach.© 2017 Elsevier Inc.

Freestanding Films of Reduced Graphene Oxide Fully Decorated with Prussian Blue Nanoparticles for Hydrogen Peroxide Sensing.

Developing thin, freestanding electrodes that work simultaneously as a current collector and electroactive material is pivotal to integrating portable and wearable chemical sensors. Herein, we have synthesized graphene/Prussian blue (PB) electrodes for hydrogen peroxide detection (H2O2) using a two-step method. First, an reduced graphene oxide/PAni/Fe2O3 freestanding film is prepared using a doctor blade technique, followed by the electrochemical deposition of PB nanoparticles over the films. The iron oxide nanoparticles work as the iron source for the heterogeneous electrochemical deposition of the nanoparticles in a ferricyanide solution. The size of the PB cubes electrodeposited over the graphene-based electrodes was controlled by the number of voltammetric cycles. For H2O2 sensing, the PB10 electrode achieved the lowest detection and quantification limits, 2.00 and 7.00 μM, respectively. The findings herein evidence the balance between the structure of the graphene/PB-based electrodes with the electrochemical performance for H2O2 detection and pave the path for developing new freestanding electrodes for chemical sensors.

A Novel Enzyme-Based Electrochemical Biosensor for Sensitive Detection of Hydrogen Peroxide Based on the Fluorescent Peptide Self-Assembled Nanomaterials

A comprehensive review of the application of Zr-based metal-organic frameworks for electrochemical sensors and biosensors.

A family of inorganic-organic hybrid crystalline materials made up of organic ligands and metal cations or clusters is known as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Because of their unique stability, intriguing characteristics, and structural diversity, zirconium-based MOFs (Zr-MOFs) are regarded as one of the most interesting families of MOF materials for real-world applications. Zr-MOFs that have the ligands, metal nodes, and guest molecules enclosed show distinct electrochemical reactions. They can successfully and sensitively identify a wide range of substances, which is important for both environmental preservation and human health. The rational design and synthesis of Zr-MOF electrochemical sensors and biosensors, as well as their applications in the detection of drugs, biomarkers, pesticides, food additives, hydrogen peroxide, and other materials, are the main topics of this comprehensivereview. We also touch on the current issues and potential future paths for Zr-MOF electrochemical sensor research.

Theoretical study the photophysical mechanism of fluorescent probe on detecting mitochondria-targeted hydrogen peroxide

The photophysical mechanism and dynamics behaviors of (E)-4-(2-(7-(diethylamino)-2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)vinyl)-1-(4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)benzyl)pyridin-1-ium (Compound 1) on detecting hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has been theoretically studied. The boron ester in Compound 1 is cleaved when H2O2 is added to the solution, resulting in the formation of (E)-7-(diethylamino)-3-(2-(pyridin-4-yl)vinyl)-2H-chromen-2-one (Compound 2). Theoretical calculations show that the fluorescence spectra of the compounds exhibit a significant blue shift from 616 nm of Compound 1 to 542 nm of Compound 2 before and after the reaction, which are in good agreement with the experimental results (640 nm → 535 nm). The calculated electron–hole transfer distance of Compound 1 (5.986 Å) is larger than that of Compound 2 (3.544 Å), and Compound 1 is demonstrated to be charge transfer excitation while the Compound 2 is localized excitation, which results in a blue shift of the fluorescence spectra. The analysis of molecular electrostatic potential demonstrates that compound 1 has the highest electrostatic potential (4.60 eV) at the pyridine position and the lowest (−0.30 eV) at the oxygen atom of the coumarin moiety, suggesting that compound 1 undergoes fragmentation at this position. This study provides a theoretical explanation for the reaction mechanism of molecular probes.

19F NMR Probes: Molecular Logic Material Implications for the Anion Discrimination and Chemodosimetric Approach for Selective Detection of H2O2.

Detection and discrimination of similar solvation energies of bioanalytes are vital in medical and practical applications. Currently, various advanced techniques are equipped to recognize these crucial bioanalytes. Each strategy has its own benefits and limitations. One-dimensional response, lack of discrimination power for anions, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generally limit the utilized fluorescent probe. Therefore, a cutting-edge, refined method is expected to conquer these limitations. The use of 19F NMR spectroscopy for detecting and discriminating essential analytes in practical applications is an emerging technique. As an alternative strategy, we report two fluorinated boronic acid-appended pyridinium salts 5-F-o-BBBpy (1) and 5-CF3-o-BBBpy (2). Probe (1) acts as a chemosensor for identifying and discriminating inorganic anions with similar solvation energies with strong bidirectional 19F shifts in the lower ppm range. Probe (2) turns as a chemo dosimeter for the selective detection and precise quantification of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) among other competing ROS. To demonstrate real-life applicability, we successfully quantified H2O2 via probe (2) in different pharmaceutical, dental, and cosmetic samples. We found that tuning the -F/-CF3 moiety to the arene boronic acid enables the π-conjugation, a crucial prerequisite for the discrimination of anions and H2O2. Characteristic 19F NMR fingerprints in the presence of anions revealed a complementary implication (IMP)/not implication (NIMP) logic function. Finally, the 16 distinct binary Boolean operations on two logic values are defined for "functional completeness" using the special property of the IMP gate. Boolean logic's ability to handle information by utilizing characteristic 19F NMR fingerprints has not been seen previously in a single chemical platform for detecting and differentiating such anions.

H2O2-activated NIR fluorescent probe with tumor targeting for cell imaging and fluorescent-guided surgery

The near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence sensor for sensitive, selective, and high tissue penetration detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is quite significant in the localization and surgical removal of tumors. Herein, we reported a novel tumor-target NIR fluorescence probe BCy-Biotin for H2O2 detection in tumors. The probe showed high selectivity and sensitivity toward H2O2 with the calculated detection limit of 1.82 × 10−7 M. And it was applied in the detection of exogenous and endogenous H2O2 levels in 4T1 cells with low cytotoxicity. In the subcutaneous 4T1 tumor model of mice, probe BCy-Biotin exhibited satisfactory tumor-target fluorescence imaging after the tail vein. Significance: Importantly, this probe was successfully employed in fluorescence image-guided surgical resection of tumors in mice. These results demonstrated that this probe had the potential for clinical diagnosis and surgical navigation of cancers.

Hydrogen peroxide responsive smart colorimetric indicator based on titanium oxysulfate/guar gum coating for monitoring the freshness of milk

Food adulteration, especially in most consumed beverages like milk, severely threatens human health and the economy. Most of the detection methodologies are expensive and limited to laboratory scale. Herein, we present a printable, flexible, and efficient colorimetric indicator for the rapid detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in milk using titanium oxysulfate (TiOSO4), a stable and readily available inorganic compound. The fabricated indicator employs a printable reagent solution containing varying concentrations of TiOSO4 and guar gum as a binder. The solution is screen-printed onto a paper substrate, resulting in a flexible indicator. This indicator can potentially detect H2O2 as low as 200 ppm. The color change (ΔE) is evident to the naked eye and is valued at 6.31 ± 2.59 and 65.66 ± 0.39 for H2O2 concentrations of 0.02% and 5.00%, respectively. CIELAB parameters exhibit a proportional relationship with H2O2 concentration. The viscosity shown by the prepared reagent paste at lower and higher Newtonian regions is 231 Pa s and 0.35 Pa s, respectively, thereby enhancing the quality of printing. Field emission electron microscopy (FESEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM), confirm the stability, uniformity, and reduced roughness of the printed indicators. The roughness exhibited by the unprinted and printed paper substrate is 15.90 nm and 0.76 nm, respectively. Compared to the unprinted paper substrate, the maximum roughness has been reduced by∼93%. Rub resistance exhibited by the indicator is quantified at 1.00 ± 0.03, indicating the durability of the indicators. The TiOSO4-based colorimetric indicator provides a simple, inexpensive, and rapid method for the detection of H2O2 in milk, addressing the challenges associated with current detection techniques.

Enhanced chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer using surfactant-modified AIE carbon dots.

Chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (CRET) efficiency can be enhanced by confining CRET donors and acceptors within nanoscale spaces. However, this enhanced efficiency is often affected by uncertainties stemming from the random distribution of CRET donors and acceptors in such confined environments. In this study, a novel confined nanospace was created through the surfactant modification of carbon dots (CDs) exhibiting aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics. Hydrophobic CRET donors could be effectively confined within this nanospace. The distance between the CRET donors and acceptors could be controlled by anchoring the AIE-CDs as the CRET acceptors, resulting in significantly improved CRET efficiency. Furthermore, this AIE-CDs-based CRET system was successfully applied to the detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in rainwater, showcasing its potential for practical applications.

Laser-assembled conductive 3D nanozyme film-based nitrocellulose sensor for real-time detection of H2O2 released from cancer cells

In this work, a nanostructured conductive film possessing nanozyme features was straightforwardly produced via laser-assembling and integrated into complete nitrocellulose sensors; the cellulosic substrate allows to host live cells, while the nanostructured film nanozyme activity ensures the enzyme-free real-time detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) released by the sames. In detail, a highly exfoliated reduced graphene oxide 3D film decorated with naked platinum nanocubes was produced using a CO2-laser plotter via the simultaneous reduction and patterning of graphene oxide and platinum cations; the nanostructured film was integrated into a nitrocellulose substrate and the complete sensor was manufactured using an affordable semi-automatic printing approach. The linear range for the direct H2O2 determination was 0.5–80 μM (R2 = 0.9943), with a limit of detection of 0.2 μM. Live cell measurements were achieved by placing the sensor in the culture medium, ensuring their adhesion on the sensors' surface; two cell lines were used as non-tumorigenic (Vero cells) and tumorigenic (SKBR3 cells) models, respectively. Real-time detection of H2O2 released by cells upon stimulation with phorbol ester was carried out; the nitrocellulose sensor returned on-site and real-time quantitative information on the H2O2 released proving useful sensitivity and selectivity, allowing to distinguish tumorigenic cells. The proposed strategy allows low-cost in-series semi-automatic production of paper-based point-of-care devices using simple benchtop instrumentation, paving the way for the easy and affordable monitoring of the cytopathology state of cancer cells.

A novel AIE fluorescent probe for the detection and imaging of hydrogen peroxide in living tumor cells and in vivo

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), a key reactive oxygen species (ROS), plays crucial roles in redox signaling pathways and immune responses associated with cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, and disease progression. The selective monitoring of overproduced H2O2 is important for understanding the diagnosis and pathogenesis of diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancers, diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and inflammation. In this paper, an AIE fluorescent probe BQM-H2O2 was developed by connecting phenyl borate with the fluorophore BQM-PNH for selective detection of H2O2. In the presence of H2O2 at fw = 99% (pH = 7.4, 1% DMSO), the probe BQM-H2O2 could generate strong fluorescent signals due to the oxidation of the borate ester. The probe exhibited high selectivity and a low detection limit toward H2O2 with the calculated LOD of 112.6 nM. Importantly, it was employed in the detection of exogenous and endogenous hydrogen peroxide in 4T1 cells with low cytotoxicity. This probe has also been successfully applied to imaging of H2O2 in Blab/c mice bearing 4T1 graft tumors.

Perovskite nanowire-based electrochemical sensing for selective and rapid detection of hydrogen peroxide

Nanowires possess inherent advantages in improving the reduction of boundary stacking defects and enhancing charge transfer or migration. Here, we synthesized all-inorganic perovskite nanowires CsPbBr3 (PVSK NW) and obtained CsPb1-xSnxBr3 (PVSK-Sn NW) and CsPb1-xGexBr3 (PVSK-Ge NW) nanowires through doping with different elements (Sn and Ge). Elemental doping endows the nanowires with unique narrow fluorescence spectra, high optical absorption coefficients, tunable optical bandgaps, and high carrier mobility. Introducing different perovskite nanowires into carbon-based composite materials (super p/Nafion) can overcome the challenges of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) detection sensitivity and matrix interference. H2O2 in PBS (phosphate buffered saline) solution (pH 7.0) was detected by current analysis i-t curve mode. The results demonstrate that the addition of perovskite nanowires exhibits a high level of detection sensitivity for H2O2 electrochemical reduction. Particularly, the linear concentration range detected by PVSK-Sn NW is 1–6000 µM, with a detection limit of 0.12 µM. Even in the presence of interfering molecules (ascorbic acid, uric acid, glucose), the detection of H2O2 maintains high sensitivity and selectivity. This study overcomes the limitations of perovskite materials in water-based detection, enhancing their future commercial applications as sensing devices.

A Ratiometric Fluorescence Probe Based on Silver Nanoclusters and CdSe/ZnS Quantum dots for the Detection of Hydrogen Peroxide by Aggregation and Etching.

In this study, a ratiometric fluorescence nanoprobe is developed for the analysis of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) were synthesized by chemical reduction method using sodium borohydride (NaBH4) as reducing agent, and were coupled with CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) to form the ratiometric fluorescence nanoprobe silver nanoclusters-quantum dots (AgNCs-QDs). The effect of the volume ratio of CdSe/ZnS QDs to AgNCs on the fluorescence ratio of AgNCs-QDs was investigated. The fluorescence characterization results show that two emission peaks of AgNCs-QDs are located at 473nm and 661nm, respectively. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results show that H2O2 can cause the fluorescence probe to aggregate, while etching AgNCs to produce silver ions, which together cause the fluorescence of the QDs in the ratiometric fluorescent probe to be quenched. Based on this strategy, the fluorescence intensity ratio of the two emission peaks F473/F661 exhibits a strong linear correlation with the concentration of H2O2. The detection range is 3.32 µM ~ 2.65 mM with a detection limit of 3.32 µM. In addition, the ratiometric fluorescence probe can specifically recognize H2O2 and has excellent anti-interference performance and good fluorescence stability. Importantly, the probe was utilized for the detection of H2O2 in serum, showing the possibility of the probe in clinical detection applications.

Mechanistic aspect of copper selenide as an electrocatalyst for the detection of hydrogen peroxide in gaseous phase

The electrocatalytic properties of copper selenide for hydrogen peroxide detection in a gas phase were investigated using cyclic and square-wave voltammetry. Copper selenide demonstrated significant electrocatalytic activity towards hydrogen peroxide oxidation in a basic medium containing polyacrylic acid as a gas-absorbing polyelectrolyte. Experimental data were corroborated by a brief theoretical analysis and simulations based on a two-electron irreversible electrode mechanism of a dissolved redox couple. The voltammetric response of a conventional glassy carbon electrode modified with copper selenide showed a linear correlation with hydrogen peroxide concentration over a range of 3.0 × 10−5 to 1.0 × 10−3 mol L−1 in solution.Practical application of this method for gaseous hydrogen peroxide detection was explored using screen-printed electrodes (SPE) coated with a thin film of polyacrylic acid containing medium, with copper selenide serving as a modifier of the working electrode. The detectable concentration range of gaseous hydrogen peroxide using the modified SPE spanned picomolar concentrations. The statistical parameters of the calibration line in terms of LOQ, LOD and R2 are 4.1 × 10−6, 1.2 × 10−6 mol L−1, and 0.996, which correspond very closely to the gas concentrations of 6.1 × 10−12 to 6.1 × 10−11 mol L−1.

Defect engineering of copper-doped mesoporous manganese dioxide nanoflowers for enhancing electrocatalytic detection of hydrogen peroxide

Birnessite-type δ-MnO2 nanoflowers doped with copper ions (Cu-MnO2) can enhance the catalytic performance of MnO2-based catalysts for efficient electrochemical sensing of H2O2. There are no significant changes in the surface morphology and lattice structure of bulk MnO2 after Cu doping via engineered cation exchange. The catalytic Cu species are effectively incorporated into the tunnel entrance of δ-MnO2, the Mn site in the MnO6 octahedron, and surface defects. The Cu doping enhances the electrical and ionic conductivities, and generates numerous Mn3+ defects, oxygen vacancies, and Cu+/Cu2+ redox sites. Thus, the Cu doping facilitates the transport and adsorption of more H2O2 molecules to the catalytic sites, significantly increasing the catalytic rate. In contrast, pristine MnO2 exhibits negligible catalytic performance for H2O2 reduction because of its slow catalytic kinetics and low electrical conductivity. The Cu-MnO2 catalyst exhibits higher sensitivity (105.7 μA·mM−1·cm−2), a lower detection limit (0.6 μM), and a broader linear range (0.005 ∼ 4.2 mM) compared to pristine δ-MnO2.

Discovery of a highly selective fluorescent probe for hydrogen peroxide and its biocompatibility evaluation and bioimaging applications in cells and zebrafish

As one of the most widely distributed reactive oxygen species in vivo, hydrogen peroxide plays divergent and important roles in cell growth, differentiation and aging. When the level of hydrogen peroxide in the body is abnormal, it will lead to genome mutation and induce irreversible oxidative modification of proteins, lipids and polysaccharides, resulting in cell death or even disease. Therefore, it is significant to develop a sensitive and specific probe for real-time detection of hydrogen peroxide in vivo. In this study, the response mechanism between hydrogen peroxide and probe QH was investigated by means of HRMS and the probe showed good optical properties and high selectivity to hydrogen peroxide. Note that the evaluating of probe biocompatibility resulted from cytotoxicity test, behavioral test, hepatotoxicity test, cardiotoxicity test, blood vessel toxicity test, immunotoxicity test and neurotoxicity test using cell and transgenic zebrafish models with more than 20 toxic indices. Furthermore, the detection performance of the probe for hydrogen peroxide was evaluated by multiple biological models and the probe was proved to be much essential for the monitoring of hydrogen peroxide in vivo.

Electrochemical Sensors based on Conductive Polymers Incorporate of Nano Material for the Detection of Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2)

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays a crucial role in various industries but poses a risk to human health when present in an uncontrolled manner. Hence, it is imperative to develop straightforward, cost-effective, and swift analytical methods for the detection and monitoring of H2O2. This study proposes a detector consisting of polyaniline-doped silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs), utilising a nanostructured okra semiconductor as a sensing material for H2O2 detection. The obtained results indicated that the addition of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) (at particle size 30 nm) into the mixture at different concentrations (1, 5, and 10 wt%) and voltages (1.4V–3V) led to good electrochemical performance. The prepared sensor at the Ag nanoparticle weight concentration (10 wt%) proved to have optimal performance. This configuration exhibited a clear and reliable signal response across a broad spectrum of currents at different concentrations of H2O2.

Fabrication of ultrafine PtPd alloy/ionic liquid-carbon dots nanocomposites modified flexible carbon fiber as enzyme-free amperometric sensing for H2O2 in living cells

Given the pivotal role of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in numerous biological progresses, there has been a recent surge in the development of highly effective electrochemical sensors for H2O2 detection. In this article, we propose an enzyme-free amperometric system for the sensitive and selective recognition of H2O2, leveraging ultrafine PtPd alloy/ionic liquid-carbon dots (IL-CDs) nanocomposites modified flexible carbon fiber. The IL-CDs were synthesized through the direct electrodeposition of ionic liquid [BMIM][PF6] using Pt sheets as electrodes. Subsequently, a sequential electrodeposition of IL-CDs, H2PtCl6, and PdCl2 onto the activated carbon fiber (ACF) yielded the PtPd/IL-CDs/ACF microelectrode. This microelectrode serves as an enzyme-free amperometric sensor for H2O2 detection, exhibiting an improved response with a significantly lower detection limit of 0.29 μM and a relatively broad linear range spanning from 2 to 6561 μM. Furthermore, this enzyme-free amperometric H2O2 sensor demonstrates remarkable stability over extended periods and exceptional performance in practical applications, such as the analysis of commercially available milk, human serum, human urine, and living cancer cells analysis. This study offers a fresh perspective on amperometric sensors based on metal alloys and CDs electrode, highlighting the potential of enzyme-independent detection for hydrogen peroxide in biological systems.
