Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, titled “Electrochemical Sensors and Biosensors for Environmental Detection”, focuses on the development and application of cutting-edge electrochemical biosensor technology in environmental monitoring and analysis. Electrochemical biosensors are powerful tools that combine the specificity of biological recognition elements with the sensitivity of electrochemical transducers to detect and quantify various environmental analytes. This Special Issue explores a wide range of topics, including sensor design, fabrication, electrode material and optimization, as well as their utilization for the detection of pollutants, pathogens, and other environmental contaminants. The research articles to be published in this Special Issue should delve into the advances of sensor materials, immobilization techniques, and signal amplification methods, contributing to the development of highly selective and sensitive biosensors for environmental monitoring. These biosensors play a critical role in ensuring environmental safety, sustainable resource management, and the protection of ecosystems.

This work presents the detection of hypoxanthine (HXA), a purine derivative that is similar to nucleic acids who overconsumption can cause health issues, by using hydrothermally synthesized cerium phosphate (CePO4) followed by a sonochemical approach for CePO4 decorated with a functionalized carbon nanofiber (CePO4@f-CNF) nanocomposite. The formation of the nanocomposite was confirmed with X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). A CePO4@f-CNF nanocomposite is used to modify a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) to analyze the electrochemical detection of HXA. Cyclic voltammetry (CV), Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) were used to examine the electrochemical properties of the composite. As a result, the modified electrode exhibits a larger active surface area (A = 1.39 cm2), a low limit of detection (LOD) at 0.23 µM, a wide linear range (2.05–629 µM), and significant sensitivity. Therefore, the CePO4@f-CNF nanocomposite was used to study the real-time detection in chicken and fish samples, and it depicted significant results. Full article
