Hydroquinone (HQ) and catechol (CC) are nearly identical toxic phenolic pollutants, challenging their simultaneous detection in waters. Herein, we report a stacked leaf-like ZnCo/N-PC@PMel electrode that selectively discriminates HQ from CC via preferential adsorption, enhancing HQ detection. Physicochemical characterization reveals a high specific surface area (621.05m²/g) and mesopores (3.9nm), and stacked leaf-like sheets of approximately 5 μm in length (SEM). Density functional theory (DFT) predicts substantially stronger adsorption affinity toward HQ over CC via hydrogen-bonding interactions with N-rich sites. Experimentally, the PMel/GCE, ZnCo/N-PC/GCE, and ZnCo/N-PC@PMel/GCE yielded peak potential separations (ΔEp) of 0.096, 0.112, and 0.104V, respectively. Although bare ZnCo/N-PC gives the largest ΔEp, it suppresses the CC current (68.04 μA) due to non-specific over-adsorption. In contrast, the hybrid achieves enhanced separation versus pristine PMel (0.104 > 0.096V) while delivering the highest CC current (76.41 μA), confirming that PMel introduces specific hydrogen-bonding sites and mitigates non-specific affinity. The sensor offers a linear range of 20–100μM and 100–400μM for both isomers, with detection limits (LODs) of 0.46μM (HQ) and 1.51μM (CC), and was successfully applied to simultaneous determination in real water samples. This DFT-guided design provides a rational paradigm for selective electrochemical monitoring of isomeric pollutants.
Heavy metal ions in food pose severe health risks, necessitating the development of simple and effective detection methods. In this study, we constructed an electrochemical sensor for simultaneous detection of Cd2+ and Pb2+ by modifying a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with a composite of a cobalt-based zeolitic imidazolate framework (Co-ZIF) and carbonized litchi pericarp (LP) for the first time. The Co-ZIF@LP/GCE sensor leverages a synergistic "adsorption-conduction" mechanism: Co-ZIF provides abundant adsorption sites and catalytic activity, while LP enhances electrical conductivity and stability. Electrochemical performance was evaluated using cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Key parameters including buffer pH, modification material ratio, drop-coating volume, deposition potential, deposition time, and quiet time were optimized via square wave stripping voltammetry. Under optimal conditions, the sensor exhibited high sensitivity toward Cd2+ and Pb2+, with wide linear ranges (1-10 mu M, 10-65 mu M) and low detection limits (0.028 mu M and 0.197 mu M). Practical application in rice and millet samples demonstrated good recovery and precision, confirming the method's reliability for detecting heavy metal ions in food samples.
Riboflavin plays a crucial role in human health and urgently calls for a simple, rapid and sensitive method for its detection in foods and pharmaceuticals. Herein, an electrochemical approach was established based on a carbonized flower shaped Zn-based Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework (C-ZIF-F) and the traditional Chinese medicine Bai Cao Shuang (BCS) composite modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The BSC mainly composed of carbon-based particles were well dispersed into C-ZIF-F to improve the conductivity and electrocatalytic activity. The C-ZIF-F/BCS/GCE sensor showed a great enhancement in responses for the electrochemical reaction of riboflavin. Under optimal conditions, the C-ZIF-F/BCS/GCE sensor demonstrates a linear range of 0.1-60 mu M with a low detection limit (LOD) of 0.083 mu M and a high sensitivity of 0.054 mu A mu M- 1 cm- 2. Moreover, this sensor demonstrates excellent reproducibility, long term stability and high selectivity during testing. This sensor was also successfully applied to the determination of riboflavin in vitamin B2 tablets, spinach and soymilk.
Heavy metal ions entering the human body via water and food pose significant health risks through long-term accumulation, underscoring the need for efficient and sensitive detection methods. However, electrochemical detection in complex matrices like grains remains relatively underexplored. Herein, a novel Zn, Co, N tri-doped porous carbon (ZnCo/N-PC) with a lamellar bird-nest-like structure was syntheziedby water-phase induced hydrothermal-pyrolysis approach. The resulting ZnCo/N-PC was combined with novel activated carbon for supercapacitors (NACS) to fabricate a ZnCo/N-PC@NACS/GCE electrochemical sensor. This design established a "high-speed channels + high loading capacity" sensing model, enabling highly sensitive simultaneous detection of Pb2+ and Cd2+. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations of binding energies elucidated the sensor's strong affinity for the target ions. Under optimal conditions, the sensor exhibited a wide linear range (0.1-80 mu M), low detection limits (0.078 mu M for Pb2+, 0.033 mu M for Cd2+), and excellent selectivity, reproducibility, and stability. The sensor was successfully applied for the rapid and simultaneous detection of Pb2+ and Cd2+ not only in real water samples (tap water, lake water) but also in complex-matrix grain samples (rice, millet), achieving recoveries of 90.8-106.6 % (water) and 88.5-115.8 % (grains), with relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 0.7-15.2 % (water) and 0.8-22.5 % (grains). This work provides robust technical support for environmental monitoring, food safety control, and public health protection.
High-performance electrode materials are crucial for electrochemical sensing of bioactive food compounds. We report an eco-friendly synthesis of coral-like cobalt/nitrogen-doped porous carbon (Co/N-PC) via hydrothermal-pyrolysis, integrated with MnO₂ to construct a Co/N-PC@MnO₂/GCE sensor for ultrasensitive luteolin (LU) detection. Synergy between the conductive Co/N-PC framework (electron transport) and MnO₂ nanoparticles (Mn2+/Mn3+/Mn4+ catalysis) delivers exceptional performance: dual linear ranges (0.01-1 μM; 1-100 μM) and a record-low 4 nM detection limit. Kinetic studies confirm the apparent electron transfer number (napp = 4) arises from MnO₂ mediation. The sensor demonstrated high practicality in complex floral teas (honeysuckle, chrysanthemum), achieving 77.2-103.6 % recoveries. This work provides both a sensitive, green LU detection method and elucidates a MnO₂ catalytic cycle mechanism, revealing new insights into LU's electrochemical pathway.
Elevated levels of methylglyoxal (MG) in the human body are linked to various metabolic disorders. Therefore, developing efficient methods for detecting MG in food and biological fluid is of significant importance. In this work, a high-catalytic-activity conductive copper-based metal-organic framework (Cu3(HHTP)2) was synthesized via a hydrothermal method, and a sensitive electrochemical sensor based on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE), denoted as Super-P/Cu3(HHTP)2/GCE, for monitoring methylglyoxal (MG) was constructed using a composite of Cu3(HHTP)2 and carbon black Super-P. Leveraging the catalytic activity of Cu3(HHTP)2 and the enhanced conductivity provided by Super-P, the sensor demonstrated a wide linear detection range (1-500 mu M) and a low detection limit (0.0275 mu M). Moreover, it was successfully applied to the determination of MG in milk, beer, urine, and human serum samples, achieving recoveries ranging from 91.7 % to 115.7 %. This work opens up new avenues for the development of innovative electroanalytical tools for MG monitoring in both food and biological fluid.
Herein, a stable and ultra-sensitive rutin electrochemical sensor was successfully developed. This sensor based on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with C-GCS@ZIF-F/PL nanocomposite, which was made of thermally carbonized glucose (GCS) doped with flower-like ZIF (ZIF-F) and pencil lead (PL). The electrochemical response of rutin was considerably significant at C-GCS@ZIF-F/PL/GCE, demonstrating favorable conductivity and electrocatalytic properties for detection of rutin. Under optimal conditions, the linear range is 0.1-100 mu M, with a low detection limit (LOD) of 0.0054 mu M. It also exhibits excellent stability, reproducibility, as well as selectivity over common interfering ions such as Na+, + , uric acid, quercetin and riboflavin, etc. Meanwhile, the practical utility of developed sensor was evaluated in food samples including honey, orange, and buckwheat tea, achieving satisfactory recovery rates ranging from 98.2% to 101.7%. This paper introduces a novel technique for the detection of rutin in foods.

Rapid and accurate detection of pathogenic bacteria is crucial for ensuring food safety and public health. In this study, we aimed to develop a novel molecularly imprinted polymer sensor based on screen-printed electrodes for the specific detection of Salmonella typhimurium. The sensor was constructed by electropolymerizing dopamine in the presence of Salmonella typhimurium on the electrode surface, followed by the removal of the bacteria to create specific binding cavities. The sensor demonstrated excellent specificity for Salmonella typhimurium, with a detection limit approximately of 101 CFU/ml and a detection time of only 4 min, with the sensor accurately differentiating Salmonella typhimurium from other common foodborne pathogens such as Escherichia coli and Listeria monocytogenes. The performance of the sensor was validated using real food samples, including pork and milk, showing its well suited for rapid and on-site detection of pathogenic bacteria. The development of this molecularly imprinted polymer with electrochemical sensor represents a significant advancement in the field of electrochemical biosensors, offering a promising tool for food safety monitoring and public health protection.
Accurate monitoring of hydroxyurea (HU) dosage is imperative in the administration of anticancer drugs. Existing determination methods face challenges such as operational complexity, low sensitivity, or high oxidation potentials. In this study, a novel HU electrochemical sensor (Zn/N-PC/GO/GCE) was synthesized using flower-shaped Zn/N co-doped porous carbon (Zn/N-PC) with graphene oxide (GO) through a one-step electrodeposition. The sensor features a distinctive three-step oxidation process for HU with a low oxidation potential, attributed to an electrochemical activation electrode strategy and crucial Zn/N co-doping in Zn/N-PC. Three electrons involved oxidation process of HU and Zn/N-PC/GO adsorption energy through transferred electrons and density functional theory (DFT). Under optimized conditions, the sensor demonstrated a broad linear detection range (1-1000 mu M) and an impressive limit of detection (LOD) of 0.52 mu M. Applicability was confirmed by analyzing HU in tablet formulations, urine and serum samples. This study presents an innovative electrochemical method for accurate HU monitoring, elucidating a potential three-step oxidation mechanism.

To circumvent the binder's adverse effect on the performance of electrochemical sensor and improve the analysis efficiency, a binder-free cobalt-doped Ni-MOF (Co/Ni-MOF) film, with honeycomb-like structure, is fast electrodeposited on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) by cathodic reduction. No conductive agent added, the Co/Ni-MOF/GCE can be directly used as a sensor for levofloxacin (LEV) determination. Under the optimal condition, a wider linear range of 0.1 uM-500 mu M LEV is obtained with the limit of detection (LOD, 3S/N) being 22 nM and the sensitivity of 2.85 mu A W-1 cm(-2). Further, when being used to analysis of LEV in e ye drop and spiked milk, satisfactory recoveries of 94.0%-108.2% are achieved. Particularly, benefiting of the synergistic effect of Co2+ and Ni2+, as well as and the binder-free film, the sensor exhibits an excellent sensitivity and a robust long-term stability. This work develops a facile and efficient strategy to synthesis of Co and Ni based MOF film, and provides them a new way in electrochemistry application. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
