Its dietary intake is associated with health risks, and developing highly selective detection methods is of great significance. In order to address the issue of poor selectivity of existing Lut sensors, this study constructed an electrochemical biosensor. The sensor was fabricated by modifying a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with MWCNTs, UiO-66-NH₂ (MOF), AuNPs and laccase (Lac). By taking advantage of the high conductivity of multi-walled carbon nanotubes, the large specific surface area and enrichment effect of UiO-66-NH₂, the biocompatibility and electron transfer ability of AuNPs, as well as the biological catalytic specificity of Lac, significant performance synergy was achieved. The catalytic activity of Lac on Lut was studied by UV–vis, and the materials were characterized by electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared, and X-ray methods, respectively. The square wave voltammetry study demonstrated that this electrochemical sensor exhibited an excellent detection performance for Lut, with a linear detection range of 0.02–10 μM and a detection limit as low as 7.59 nM. In the actual samples (thyme, parsley, oregano) tests, the results were highly consistent with HPLC. The recovery rates after adding standards were ideal, fully demonstrating the excellent practical application potential.","PeriodicalId":17364,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Electrochemical Society","volume":"173 3","pages":"035502-035502"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147381659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additives are crucial for optimizing copper foil properties but face challenges due to complex interfacial reactions and varying diffusion activation energies. Here, we focus on systematically investigating the individual effects of selected typical additives, including chloride ions (Cl − ), polyethylene glycol (PEG) and gelatin, to optimize the performance of copper foil. Compared to Cl − and PEG, gelatin more effectively improved the tensile strength and surface quality, and reduced the surface roughness of the copper foil at specific concentrations. Specifically, the samples prepared with the addition of gelatin (10 mg l −1 ) exhibit the best mechanical properties, achieving a tensile strength of 298 MPa and an elongation of 5.0% for the copper foils. The enhanced properties of the copper foil are attributed to the refinement of the grain structure, increased twin density, and reduced thickness of twin lamellae.

However, the larger ionic radius of sodium ions restricts their transport kinetics within conventional anode materials. Carbon materials with expanded interlayer spacing, disordered structures, and heteroatom doping are considered strong anode candidates, yet scalable and sustainable routes for producing such carbons remain challenging. Here, waste tire particles were combined with various anionic imidazolium-based ionic liquids ([BMIM]Br, [BMIM]PF 6 , [BMIM]BF 4 ) and converted into carbon materials via a one-step carbonization process. This approach enabled synthesis of multi-heteroatom-doped (N, Br, B, P, and F) waste-tire-derived carbons (TCs), which were characterized and evaluated as SIB anodes. Ionic liquid incorporation effectively induced in situ heteroatom doping and expanded interlayer spacing, thereby enhancing Na + storage behavior. Among the samples, TC-[BMIM]Br exhibited the highest nitrogen content (4.08%), delivered the highest initial coulombic efficiency (52.34%), and demonstrated excellent cycling stability, retaining 151.2 mAh g −1 after 200 cycles at 50 mA g −1 . In contrast, TC-[BMIM]BF 4 showed superior rate capability, achieving 103.0 mAh g −1 at 1000 mA g −1 .
