In this work, we report the analysis of the electrochemical detection of electroactive species with band microelectrodes that operate under controlled convection. The study focuses on the determination of the collection efficiency of the analyte as a function of inlet flow velocity and microband geometry (inlaid, bumped and recessed), also providing a straightforward method for the theoretical determination of the lower detection limit. The analysis has been carried out by simulating the dimensionless mass transport with the finite element method, delivering the stationary limiting current density. Simulations have been performed on systems consisting of single and double band electrodes to investigate the trail effect on the electrochemical detection. We show that the obtained dimensionless results can be easily turned into dimensional data, providing a tool for the design of devices. The proposed method is general and can easily be extended to systems with different geometry.

Despite the promise of electrochemical biosensors in amplified nucleic acid diagnostics, existing high-sensitivity platforms often rely on a multilayer surface assembly and cascade amplification confined to the electrode interface. These stepwise strategies suffer from inefficient enzyme activity, poor mass transport, and inconsistent probe orientation, which compromise the amplification efficiency, reproducibility, and practical applicability. To address these limitations, we report a programmable dual-phase electrochemical biosensing system that decouples amplification from signal transduction.

Simultaneous sensing and quantification of pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) are crucial for protecting the environment and maintaining long-term ecological sustainability. This study focuses on the bio-based synthesis of BiS-ZnO nanocomposites (BiS-ZnO(bio)) using bio-extract for dual-analyte selective and simultaneous electrochemical monitoring of phenylbutazone (PBZ) and sulfamethoxazole (SMZ) in the environmental matrices. BiS-ZnO(bio) exhibited ZnO(bio) nanostructures embedded on BiS(bio) nanorods with an average rod length of 1409.

Wearable sensors integrated with deep learning techniques have the potential to revolutionize seamless human-machine interfaces for real-time health monitoring, clinical diagnosis, and robotic applications. Nevertheless, it remains a critical challenge to simultaneously achieve desirable mechanical and electrical performance along with biocompatibility, adhesion, self-healing, and environmental robustness with excellent sensing metrics. Herein, we report a multifunctional, anti-freezing, self-adhesive, and self-healable organogel pressure sensor composed of cobalt nanoparticle encapsulated nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (CoN CNT) embedded in a polyvinyl alcohol-gelatin (PVA/GLE) matrix.

An electrochemical sensor based on MXene/PANI/SnO nanomaterials was developed for the detection of 4-aminophenol (4-AP). In situ oxidative growth of PANI on the MXene surface effectively hindered the stacking of the lamellae and increased the specific surface area of the composites. Further complexation of tin dioxide with swelling properties of the structure provided adsorption and catalytic sites for 4-AP.

Natural polyreactive antibodies achieve enhanced avidity through heterogeneous ligand binding. However, engineering synthetic heteroligation systems with precise control over recognition motif orientation and distance remains challenging. Here, a DNA framework-based strategy is presented to program heterotypic binding by spatially organizing bivalent aptamers targeting platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB).
