Summary: In this study, we demonstrated that the direct intercalation of alkali-metal cations is not necessary for the redox reaction of Prussian blue. Passivation of Prussian blue thin films with monolayer graphene preserved its electrochemical activity and enhanced its stability. We also showed the potential of a transparent graphene electrode as an efficient hydrogen peroxide transducer.

Summary: A novel electrochemical sensor was developed for the recognition and detection of tartrazine. The sensor showed a large and specific response to tartrazine due to the synergistic effect of the strong electrocatalytic activity of PtCo nanoalloy-decorated graphene oxide and the high tartrazine recognition ability of the imprinted cavities. The sensor exhibited good performance in terms of detection limit, anti-interference ability, stability, and reproducibility, and was successfully applied to detect tartrazine in spiked food samples.

Summary: Determining the concentration of target substances, such as caffeine, is crucial in food safety, environmental detection, and drug supervision. Electrochemical sensors, particularly those using graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO), have shown great potential in efficiently and rapidly detecting caffeine in various media. GO and RGO possess advantages such as low cost, solubility in polar solvents, wide working potential range, and high reactivity towards caffeine. This review aims to provide researchers in this field with a comprehensive understanding of recent developments in the preparation of caffeine sensors using GO and RGO.

Summary: The MXene/MWCNTs nanohybrid is considered an ideal electrode material due to its unique structure and properties. A novel approach was developed to cross-link amino functionalized multi-carbon nanotubes onto polydopamine functionalized MXene, resulting in a composite with hierarchical structure, large specific surface area, good conductivity and electrocatalytic ability. The modified electrode showed excellent sensing performance for acetaminophen detection with good linear response, low detection limit, reproducibility, selectivity, and stability. This method was successfully applied to detect acetaminophen in actual samples.

Summary: A highly selective sensor for the electrochemical sensing of ornidazole (OR) was fabricated using an electrochemically reduced graphene oxide (ERGO) and molecularly imprinted polydopamine (PDA). The sensor showed a linear analytical response in the concentration range of 1.5 x 10(-9) M to 1.0 x 10(-8) M and 1.0 x 10(-8) M to 2.0 x 10(-7) M, with a detection limit of 1.1 x 10(-9) M. The combination of ERGO and molecularly imprinted PDA allowed for highly sensitive detection of OR concentration.
