However, they generally face challenges such as high operating temperatures and limited sensitivity/selectivity, which hinder their applications in areas like medical diagnosis based on human exhaled breath and ultralow concentration gas detection in harsh environments. Developing general strategies to enhance the sensing performance of MOS materials is both challenging and highly desired. Herein, we demonstrate nitrogen plasma-driven oxygen vacancy modulation in tin dioxide nanosheets (SnO2 NSs) that enables sub-parts-per-billion-level nitrogen dioxide (NO2) detection at low temperatures. SnO2 NSs, oriented predominantly along the (110) crystal facet, are synthesized using graphene oxide templates and treated with nitrogen plasma, which can generate abundant oxygen vacancies. The oxygen vacancy-rich SnO2 NSs exhibit exceptional NO2 sensing performance, with a theoretical detection limit of 0.154 ppb and a response that is 3.4 times higher than that of the untreated SnO2 NSs at 80 °C. Mechanism studies reveal that the improved sensitivity is attributed to the large surface area, favorable crystal orientation, and oxygen vacancies introduced by nitrogen plasma treatment. This work not only provides a promising strategy for modulating the oxygen vacancies in MOS materials, but also offers valuable insights for the development of high-performance MOS-based gas sensors.","PeriodicalId":24,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sensors","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144103792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The multifactorial etiology of dental caries complicates effective prevention and early intervention efforts, underscoring the need for the development of rapid predictive methods that account for multiple factors. In this study, we selected the activity of urease secreted by Streptococcus salivarius as a metabolic marker for dental caries. This activity was quantified by measuring the diffusion of hydroxide ions generated from the urease catalytic reaction on urea across a ZIF-8-modified nanoporous membrane. The choice of ZIF-8 was based on its preference in transporting hydroxide ions, enabling the accurate detection of urease activity at concentrations as low as 1 CFU/mL. Subsequently, we collected 287 saliva samples to determine the Michaelis constant (Km) of urease using this method. Logistic regression analysis revealed that both the Km of urease and the frequency of sugar intake are significant factors influencing the development of dental caries. Furthermore, we developed a machine learning methodology for identifying dental caries, achieving an accuracy rate of 81%. It is expected that increasing the sample size will further enhance the predictive accuracy of the model. This innovative approach provides valuable insights into early intervention strategies in the fight against dental caries.","PeriodicalId":24,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sensors","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144103790","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is a growing need for point-of-need diagnostic platforms, such as lateral flow immunoassays (LFIAs), to reduce healthcare burdens, particularly in low-resource settings. However, LFIAs often suffer from inadequate sensitivity and exhibit limited dynamic ranges, leading to late-stage diagnosis or misdiagnosis. Here, we present a signal enhancement platform for use in both plate- and paper-based immunoassays, based on the formation of a coupled nanoparticle network. We demonstrate the coupling of an antigen-targeting detection probe with a secondary, catalytically active nanoparticle by utilizing secondary antibody interactions. Here, we show that signal enhancement is achieved through two functional mechanisms: network formation, facilitated by the secondary nanoparticle increasing the relative concentration of nanoparticles immobilized at the test zone; and the inclusion of catalytically active nanoparticles, which catalyze the oxidation of a chromogenic substrate at the test zone. Through this approach, we yielded a 40-fold improvement in the limit of detection (LOD) using 40 nm gold nanoparticle detection probes in spiked pooled human saliva. Further, the signal enhancement platform can be utilized alongside a range of detection probes, including gold nanoparticles, commonly employed for use in LFIAs. This work concludes by showcasing that the signal enhancement mechanism is compatible for use with complex sample matrices, such as human saliva.","PeriodicalId":24,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sensors","volume":"71 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144097822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, the gas-sensing material oleylamine-functionalized graphene oxide was used to significantly improve the device's response to NH3. The flexible sensor exhibits excellent sensing performance with outstanding selectivity for NH3 in exhaled breath, demonstrating a high sensitivity of 67% ppm-1 and a low theoretical limit of detection of 9.19 ppb. Moreover, it can be comfortably attached to human skin and retains high strain stability, maintaining excellent sensing performance even after tensile deformation.

Early detection of wound infections can facilitate treatment and reduce the need for the excessive use of antibiotics. Proteases are normally active during the healing process but are overexpressed during infection as part of the inflammatory response. Proteases are also produced by the bacteria infecting the wounds, making proteases a highly relevant biomarker for infection monitoring. Here, we show a fluorescence turn-on sensor for real-time monitoring of protease activity in advanced nanocellulose wound dressings for rapid detection of wound pathogens. Colloidal gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were adsorbed on bacterial cellulose (BC) nanofibrils by using a carefully optimized self-assembly process. The AuNPs could either be homogeneously incorporated in BC dressings or 3D printed in wood-derived cellulose nanofiber (CNF) dressings using a BC-AuNP ink. The BC-adsorbed AuNPs were subsequently functionalized with fluorophore-labeled protease substrates. Cleavage of the substrates by proteases produced by the wound pathogens Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa resulted in a significant increase in fluorescence that correlated with the growth phase of the bacteria. Wound dressing with integrated sensors for the detection of proteolytic activity can enable the sensitive and rapid detection of infections, allowing for optimization of treatment and reducing the risks of complications.","PeriodicalId":24,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sensors","volume":"135 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144103801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of Ag2Te/CeO2 heterostructures for gas sensing. Among the as-prepared samples, the optimal Ag2Te/CeO2 sample, with a molar ratio of 1:2, exhibited superior response and an ultralow detection limit of 5 ppb NO2 at 65 °C. The sensor response retained over 92% of its regular response even at 99% relative humidity. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggest that minimal H2O adsorption on Ag2Te and strong NO2 adsorption on CeO2, along with the formation of an n-n heterojunction, synergistically enhanced performance.

The RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a system with a linear reporter on μPADs, enabled fluorescence detection of the E7 gene, achieving a sensitivity of 1 pM at approximately 1 h. The sensitivity was further enhanced by introducing a circular reporter into the fluorescence-based RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a system on μPADs, enabling detection of the E7 gene with a detection limit of 1 fM and an assay time of 35 min.

Here, a ternary Co3O4/ZnIn2S4/Pt heterostructure arrays gas sensor is designed, which consists of Co3O4 nanowire arrays grown in situ on an alumina flat substrate as backbones, ultrathin ZnIn2S4 nanosheets wrapped around the surface of Co3O4 nanowires, and highly dispersed Pt nanoparticles on the outermost layer. It enables superior sensing performance for the detection of the volatile organic compound triethylamine, which exhibits a significant response of ∼118.97 (Ra/Rg) toward 100 ppm of triethylamine at a relatively low working temperature of 200 °C, along with excellent response/recovery speed, selectivity, and enduring stability (over 3 months). Based on first-principles calculation and a series of spectroscopic characterization (including in situ spectroscopy), it is revealed that the heterostructure arrays exhibited enhanced adsorption activity for both oxygen and triethylamine molecules. Most importantly, the robust p-n heterointerface (Co3O4/ZnIn2S4) and semiconductor-metal heterointerface (Co3O4/Pt, ZnIn2S4/Pt) are formed in the ternary heterostructure, achieving efficient multi-interface charge transfer characteristics. In addition, thanks to the design of in situ 1D/2D/0D porous array structures, the ternary Co3O4/ZnIn2S4/Pt heterostructure arrays not only have large specific surface areas for gas reaction but also simplify device manufacturing.
