Selectively trapping analytes in complex matrices to hotspots and performing sensitive detection is an extremely important topic in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) detection. Herein, a molecularly imprinted polymers-based electrochemical SERS (MIP-EC-SERS) sensor was proposed for detecting acetamiprid (AAP) residue. A polydopamine layer rich in imprinted cavities was fabricated on the surface of AuNPs/ITO, using an electropolymerization process, yielding a SERS substrate modified with MIP (MIP/AuNPs/ITO). Selective capture of AAP by imprinted cavities provided the initial signal enhancement. Subsequently, applying a potential of +0.3 V promoted interactions between AAP and SERS interface, further amplifying the SERS signals. The MIP-EC-SERS sensor achieved a limit of detection down to 3.2 nM and exhibited 13.6 times higher sensitivity than that without applied potential (43.5 nM). Importantly, the practical applicability of the sensor was confirmed by accurately testing AAP in vegetable samples, demonstrating promising application potential for food safety monitoring.

Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) is a widely used antibiotic with toxic and persistent residues, which poses potential health risks in aquatic environments. However, reliable and accurate detection is impeded by the nonspecific adsorption of interfering biomolecules in complex matrices. This study develops a molecularly imprinted photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor based on BiOS/BiWO with excellent selectivity and antifouling properties.

Osteopontin (OPN), a multifunctional milk protein essential for bioactive functions, remains challenging to isolate efficiently due to the limited specificity of conventional methods. We developed hydrogel-based molecularly imprinted membranes (MIMs) for selective OPN recognition. Dimethylaminopropyl methacrylamide (DMAPMA) and N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) were selected as functional monomers based on molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, ensuring optimized binding interactions.

A novel molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-based electrochemical sensor has been developed for the selective detection of naringenin (NAR) in various real-world samples, including plant extracts, wine, and herbal supplements. To enhance the active surface area and porosity of the glassy carbon electrode (GCE), a 2D/0D nanocomposite composed of graphene oxide (GO) and cobalt ferrite (CFO) nanoparticles, CFO_GO, was incorporated into the sensor design. 4-aminobenzoic acid (4-ABA) was selected as the functional monomer to prepare the MIPs.

The amplification of detection signals is an important method for improving the sensitivity of electrochemical detection. This study presents an efficient strategy for preparing electrochemical catalytic materials using a simple self-assembly technique to encapsulate Fe single atoms (Fe-SAs) and Ni single atoms (Ni-SAs) in the Cu-benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (Cu-BTC) metal-organic framework to form a Cu-BTC@FeNi-SAs catalytic system. Subsequently, Cu-BTC@FeNi-SAs was modified on the surface of a gold electrode, and sulfadiazine was used as a template to prepare a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) on the modified electrode.
