Developing a monitoring system could help address food safety concerns. This study presents an innovative electrochemical sensing platform to detect GLY, which employs molybdenum disulfide (MoS<sub>2</sub>) and black phosphorene (BP) nanocomposites (MoS<sub>2</sub>@BP) with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) for the working electrode modification. The MoS<sub>2</sub>@BP nanocomposite is synthesized using a hydrothermal method, and its characteristics are investigated through different methods including scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction methods. The presence of BP enhances electrical conductivity and increases specific surface area, while MoS<sub>2</sub> improves the electrochemical properties of the composites and provides a protective effect on BP. The modification of MoS₂@BP on the electrode surface helps to accelerate the direct electron transfer of HRP with enhanced electrochemical responses. Furthermore, the incorporation of amino acid residues from HRP significantly enhances the recognition of GLY, thereby improving the selectivity and sensitivity of this electrochemical sensor. The sensor operates effectively within a linear concentration range from 0.118 nmol/L to 20.65 nmol/L, with a low detection limit of 0.0393 nmol/L (3σ). Furthermore, the sensor is successfully applied to detect GLY in real cornmeal samples with satisfactory results, demonstrating its potential applications in food safety monitoring.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":252,"journal":{"name":"Bioelectrochemistry","volume":"165 ","pages":"Article 108991"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143859088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This knowledge gap limits the development of effective corrosion mitigation strategies. In this study, we investigate the impact of EPS on copper corrosion using electrochemical and surface characterization techniques. Our findings reveal that EPS exhibits a dual role in copper corrosion. During the initial immersion phase (1–3 days), EPS adsorption forms a protective layer, temporarily inhibiting corrosion. In the middle stage (4–8 days), EPS accelerates corrosion by degrading the copper oxide film, as evidenced by a negative shift in the breakdown potential (<em>E</em><sub>b</sub>). In the final stage (9–14 days), uneven EPS coverage exacerbates localized corrosion. Thus, SRB-secreted EPS initially acts as a corrosion inhibitor but later promotes localized corrosion through oxide film disruption and non-uniform coverage.
