The identification of phosphates holds significant importance in many physiological processes and disease diagnosis, and traditional detection techniques struggle to simultaneously detect and distinguish phosphates. The complexity of synthesizing sensing units restricts the construction of sensor arrays as well. In this study, a bifunctional dicopper chloride trihydroxide (CuCl(OH)) nanozyme with conspicuous laccase- and peroxidase-like activities has been synthesized in basic deep eutectic solvents (DES). Exploiting the various regulatory impacts of multiple phosphates on the dual-enzyme mimicking activities, the sensor array based on the laccase mimic and peroxidase mimic properties of CuCl(OH) was designed, which has been successfully harnessed for the identification of eight phosphates (ATP, ADP, AMP, PPi, Pi, GTP, GDP, and GMP). This approach streamlines the creation of sensor arrays. Besides, the three simulated actual samples (healthy individuals, moderately ill patients, and severely ill patients) have been accurately distinguished. This work makes a substantial contribution to enhancing the highly effective construction of array channels and promoting discrimination of phosphates in intricate samples.

Developing low-temperature gas sensors for parts per billion-level acetone detection in breath analysis remains challenging for non-invasive diabetes monitoring. We implement dual-defect engineering via one-pot synthesis of Al-doped WO nanorod arrays, establishing a W-O-Al catalytic mechanism. Al doping induces lattice strain to boost oxygen vacancy density by 31.

Recently, flexible airflow sensors have attracted significant attention due to their impressive characteristics and capabilities for airflow sensing. However, the development of high-performance flexible airflow sensors capable of sensing airflow over large areas remains a challenge. In this work, it is proposed that a hair-like flexible airflow sensor, based on laser direct writing and electrostatic flocking, offers an efficient technology for airflow sensing.

Chemical sensor arrays mimic the mammalian olfactory system to achieve artificial olfaction, and receptor materials resembling olfactory receptors are being actively developed. To realize practical artificial olfaction, it is essential to provide guidelines for developing effective receptor materials based on the structure-activity relationship. In this study, we demonstrated the visualization of the relationship between sensing signal features and odorant molecular features using an explainable AI (XAI) technique.

Simulations in three dimensions and time provide guidance on implantable, electroenzymatic glutamate sensor design; relative placement in planar sensor arrays; feasibility of sensing synaptic release events; and interpretation of sensor data. Electroenzymatic sensors based on the immobilization of oxidases on microelectrodes have proven valuable for the monitoring of neurotransmitter signaling in deep brain structures; however, the complex extracellular milieu featuring slow diffusive mass transport makes rational sensor design and data interpretation challenging. Simulations show that miniaturization of the disk-shaped device size below a radius of ∼25 μm improves sensitivity, spatial resolution, and the accuracy of glutamate concentration measurements based on calibration factors determined .

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS) has recently emerged as a promising material for the development of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) owing to its inherently negative triboelectric properties when paired with polymeric layers, along with its notable transparency and mechanical flexibility. However, MoS-based TENGs operating in the contact-separation mode encounter critical limitations, including mechanical wear and limited triboelectric performance, particularly within the constraints of conventional 2D geometries. This paper reports the novel one-step laser-assisted synthesis of hemispherical MoS through the controlled nucleation and growth of MoS precursor seeds.
