ZnO–BP composites exhibit high sensitivity, fast response behavior, outstanding selectivity, and ultralow detection limit towards nitrogen dioxide due the large surface area, excellent carrier mobility, and enhanced charge transfer of ZnO–BP in the presence of BP. Moreover, the introduction of ZnO significantly enhances BP environmental stability.

The rising demand for sensitive analytical techniques have led to a great deal of research interest in the recent years, which has also generated much public awareness of health risks caused by environmental humidity and air pollution. This study reports advancements in highly-sensitive detection methods using Love wave devices fabricated from Graphene Oxide (GO). Under this, solutions of GO were prepared and used to achieve improved efficiency of the oxidation process and enhance the sensitivity of Relative Humidity (RH) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) detections. This work demonstrates that the detection limit of RH could be set very low due to the certain sensitivity levels. Similarly, GO prepared by us exhibited low detection limit for VOCs, proving the multi-functionality of GO rather than alternative sensing materials. The experiments conducted at room temperature and realized fast response and recovery times. This Love wave sensor provides high accuracy under full scale exposure of target analytes. Eventually, these ultrasensitive GO based devices can pave the way for a wide range of high-sensitivity detection applications.

In this work, a lettuce-like ZnO gas sensor with high sensitivity for H2S detection was successfully fabricated by a one-step hydrothermal method. Characterization analysis of the phases, crystallinities, morphology, and chemical compositions indicated that lettuce-like ZnO has a lettuce-like microsphere structure composed of wurtzite hexagonal ZnO sheets. A gas sensitivity test of the lettuce-like ZnO showed that the sensor had a high H2S response (113.04 for 100 ppm H2S) and H2S selectivity. The lettuce-like ZnO sensor has fast response characteristics while maintaining high sensitivity, and has a response time as low as 15 seconds and a recovery time of 90 seconds, and the detection limit reaches 1 ppm. The sensitive mechanism of lettuce-like ZnO sensor to H2S is also discussed.

Background: Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is widely present in various fields. And H2O2 plays quintessential role in variety of biomolecular processes. H2O2 concentration level is an essential biological parameter in monitoring and maintaining the physiological balance of a living cell, and its variation will cause some related diseases. Therefore, it is extremely significant to fabricate biosensor with low cost which can quickly, accurately and sensitively detect H2O2 in a wide range. The aims of this paper are to explore a novel electrochemical sensor with high intrinsic peroxidase-like activity, high sensitivity and stability to detect effectively H2O2 concentration in real samples. Methods: The chemical modified electrode LaNiTiO3-Fe3O4/GCE is fabricated based on nanomaterial LaNiTiO3-Fe3O4 by simply process, and its electrochemical properties are investigated in the supporting electrolyte of 0.1 M NaOH by the techniques of cyclic voltammetry and current-time curves on an electrochemical workstation with a conventional threeelectrode system. Results: LaNiTiO3-Fe3O4 nanoparticles show good peroxidase-like activity for H2O2 at a low applied potential of +0.50 V. Under the optimum conditions, the peroxidase biomimetic sensor LaNiTiO3-Fe3O4/GCE exhibits a wide linear response for H2O2 oxidation in the range of 0.05 μM - 3.0 mM (R = 0.9994) with a high sensitivity of 3946.2 μA∙mM1 ∙cm-2 and fast response time of 2 s, and the detection limit of H2O2 is found to be ca. 5.15 nM (S/N = 3). Moreover, the biosensor presents a good repeatability, stability and anti-interference. Satisfactory results were obtained when the sensor LaNiTiO3-Fe3O4/GCE is applied to determine H2O2 in real samples. All of these results provide support to practical application. Conclusion: A highly sensitive peroxidase biomimetic sensor based on LaNiTiO3-Fe3O4 with nano-scaled material is successfully explored, and shows good activity for H2O2. The proposed biosensor with simple and low cost has exhibited excellent advantages of quick response, wide linear range, low detection limit, high sensitivity, long-term stability and good anti-interference ability, which provides promising applications.
