Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The world is facing the COVID-19 outbreak. This challenges both our private and personal life. We are all playing a role in the fight against this pandemic. Researchers in the field of chemistry and especially (bio)sensors are dedicating a part of their work to developing analytical tools for the rapid detection of COVID-19 virus.

Chemosensors is dedicating a Special Issue to nanotechnology for developing (bio)sensors. Although this concerns sensors developed for the detection of this virus, the Special Issue aims to include (bio)sensors targeting other analytes. In fact, in this issue, authors who have struggled and succeeded in using nano-based technology for developing all kind of sensors during the COVID-19 pandemic are encouraged to submit their work.

What is the current status of the nanotechnology and its use for developing (bio)sensors? Are the nano-objects still used to improve limit of detection? Is there any influence of the size and shape of the nano-objects on the analytical performances of the sensor? What is the nature of the nano-objects; are they metallic, semi-conductors, organic? Could their efficiency be altered by adjuvants, surfactants, ad-atoms? Besides the answers that experimental work could bring to these questions, diverse types of modelling (computational, micro-kinetic, etc.) are emerging as new tools to help understanding the benefits brought by nanotechnology.

In this frame, authors whose work could reply to some of these questions are invited to submit their article to this Special Issue of Chemosensors: “Nano-technology Based Bio(sensors): in Covid-19 Outbreak”.

Nitrogen-doped graphene (NGr) was synthesized by the hydrothermal method using urea as a reducing and doping agent for graphene oxide (GO). The crystalline structure of GO was revealed by the XRD intense peak recorded at 2θ = 11.4°, indicating that the interlayer distance within the structure was large (d = 0.77 nm), and the number of layers (n) was 9. Further, the transformation of GO in NGr also led to the decrease in the interlayer distance and number of layers (d = 0.387 nm; n = 3). As indicated by elemental analysis, the concentration of nitrogen in the NGr sample was 6 wt%. Next, the comparison between the performance of bare GC and the graphene-modified electrode (NGr/GC) towards piroxicam (PIR) detection was studied. Significant differences were observed between the two electrodes. Hence, in the case of bare GC, the oxidation signal of PIR was very broad and appeared at a high potential (+0.7 V). In contrast, the signal recorded with the NGr/GC electrode was significantly higher (four times) and shifted towards lower potentials (+0.54 V), proving the electro-catalytic effect of nitrogen-doped graphene. The NGr/GC electrode was also tested for its ability to detect piroxicam in pharmaceutical drugs (Flamexin), giving excellent recoveries. Full article

As an essential electrolyte for the human body, the potassium ion (K+) plays many physiological roles in living cells, so the rapid and accurate determination of serum K+ is of great significance. In this work, we developed a solid-contact ion-selective electrode (SC-ISE) using MoS2/Fe3O4 composites as the ion-to-electron transducer to determine serum K+. The potential response measurement of MoS2/Fe3O4/K+-ISE shows a Nernst response by a slope of 55.2 ± 0.1 mV/decade and a low detection limit of 6.3 × 10−6 M. The proposed electrode exhibits outstanding resistance to the interference of O2, CO2, light, and water layer formation. Remarkably, it also presents a high performance in potential reproducibility and long-term stability. Full article
