... Heteroatom-doped carbon materials are characterized by abundant sources, tunable compositions, and diverse structures [16]. Among, nitrogen-doped carbon materials have shown potential for ORR catalytic activity [17][18][19][20]. Transition metal-nitrogen co-doped carbon materials (M-N-C), featuring highly active M-N x sites, are among the most promising catalysts for ORR [21][22][23]. ...

... Table 1 compared the sensing performances of the previously reported modified electrodes toward DA and TPC. It can be seen that the ordered AuNRs/ ITO electrodes were equivalent or better than the previously described sensors [25,37,[55][56][57][58][59][60]. ...

... Biosensors typically are a two-system process where the first system consists of a biorecognition molecule that allows for specific biochemical reactions for target capture, and then the signal transducer converts this capture signal into a detectable signal using different methods like optical, electrical, or thermal [6]. Most research focused on biorecognition reactions to enhance the sensor's target-capturing ability, such as developing new antibodies [7,8], molecule implant polymers [9][10][11][12], aptamers of signal strand DNA/RNA [13,14], and proteins [15,16]. These researchers have demonstrated significantly higher sensitivity and selectivity using the modified capture molecules [17][18][19]. ...

... CV curves with a wide potential window were applied to explore the electrochemical process of the as-prepared catalysts. As shown in Figure 5a, the S-NiFe LDH-2, S-NiFe LDH-5, S-NiFe LDH-10 and S-NiFe LDH-20 showed distinct redox peaks, in which the oxidation peak of S-NiFe LDH-10 at approximately 0.40 V corresponds to the valence transition of Fe(II)/Fe(III) [48]. A much higher reduction peak current density of S-NiFe LDH-10 can be seen at a potential of approximately 1.0 V relative to the other three S-NiFe LDH catalysts, which corresponds to the valence transition process of Ni(II)/Ni(III) [49]. ...

... The most commonly used techniques for CRP detection in clinical laboratories include enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) [6][7][8], immunoturbidimetric assays [9-11], latex immunoagglutination assays [12,13], fluorescence assays [14][15][16], chemiluminescence assays [17,18], surface plasmon resonance-based assays [19], and electrochemical assays [20][21][22][23][24][25]. However, these methods are time-consuming and require skilled operators. ...

... The imprinted CA hydrogel membrane exhibited excellent recognition and detection properties for BSA. Wang et al. [26] reported a biosensing interface based on CA hydrogel microsphere that integrated the antifouling and antibacterial properties of hydrogel and the protein molecularly imprinted polymer. The biosensing interface showed good properties in preventing undesired cell adhesion and nonspecific protein adsorption and achieved a highly sensitive and selective detection for human serum albumin. ...

... This hydrogel exhibited unique self-recognition properties towards HSA protein [92]. Furthermore, Cui et al. [87] synthesized a protein-imprinted hydrogel using acrylamide as a functional monomer through free-radical polymerization. This hydrogel demonstrated high sensitivity and selectivity for detecting target immunoglobulins in complex biological samples (Figure 5c). ...

... Furthermore, it was understood that GDY has reduced Li ion diffusion resistance, owing to which it was introduced into battery research. The increased surface area is beneficial for catalytic applications, sensing, drug loading and membranes [89,90]. ...

... However, in real situations, samples are diluted 20 times before analysis; therefore, the LOD for samples should be 20 times higher, equivalent to 20 nM. Therefore, further efforts are required to improve the LOD of this assay for practical applications using antifouling peptides [48] or deep-learning modes [49]. ...

... To overcome these problems, noble materials such as Ru, Ir and Pt are considered as efficient catalysts for water splitting due to their lower operating potential, high electrical conductivity, and good chemical stability. However, these materials are very costly, rare in nature, and are restricted from large-scale applications, which makes them less preferable [4][5][6][7]. Therefore, the development of low-cost, earth-abundant, environmentally friendly, non-toxic, highly stable, and non-noble electrode materials for the water splitting process is a hot topic in today's research. ...
