Among carbon-based materials, carbon black (CB) is attractive owing to its high surface areas, high wettability and high intrinsic electrical conductivity, and it has been reported that high annealing temperatures such as 900 °C is required to introduce FeNx active sites to CBs. In this study, we used defective acid-treated CBs that are suitable for FeNx accommodation, and employed direct nitrogen doping of iron-added defective CBs by rapid thermal annealing in ammonia. As a result, it was shown that the FeN<sub>x</sub> active sites can be formed at a low temperature of 500 °C. We then comparatively explored the relationship between the annealing temperatures (500 °C, 700 °C and 900 °C) and the characteristics of the products including the ORR activity, and found that the highest ORR activity is obtained with a sample annealed at 700 °C. The Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy indicate that the FeN<sub>x</sub> species transform into FeN<sub>4</sub> configurations in the edge with the optimized defect levels at 700 °C, resulting in high ORR activity. Further increasing the temperature to 900 °C leads to the evolution of FeNx species into FeN₂ configurations along with increased Fe nanoparticle aggregation, which diminishes catalytic performance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":52629,"journal":{"name":"Carbon Trends","volume":"21 ","pages":"Article 100556"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144810114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In response to the growing need for rapid, sensitive, and on-site detection methods, this review aims to critically evaluate the current landscape of electrochemical sensing of benzodiazepines. The main objective is to consolidate fragmented research findings on a singular platform and trace the progression of carbonaceous nanohybrid materials from early 3D frameworks to modern 0D structures into a cohesive overview that highlights emerging trends and innovations. We also aim to evaluate how this transformation has enhanced sensor performance. Unlike previous reviews that predominantly focus on conventional gold-standard techniques such as chromatographic and spectroscopic methods, this work focuses exclusively on electrochemical sensing as a promising, portable, and real-time alternative. This evolutionary approach has led to considerable improvements in sensitivity, selectivity, and portability, making these systems increasingly suitable for field-deployable applications. By highlighting key advances especially in graphene oxide (GO), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), fullerenes, quantum dots (QDs) and their metal-oxide-supported nanocomposites, this review underscores how nanostructure dimensionality directly influences electrochemical response. Furthermore, it explores the integration of these advanced materials into smart sensing platforms including those with AI-enabled features, positioning them as next-generation solutions.
