The electroactive areas of the modified electrodes were assessed by cyclic voltammetry using potassium ferricyanide. Results demonstrated that GQDs provided the best analytical response for codeine, displaying an intense and well-defined anodic wave approximately 0.9 V vs reference electrode.

Only the analysis of biofluids requires a simple extraction protocol. The feasibility and applicability of this novel approach were assessed by determining codeine in different matrices, with recoveries ranging from 69 to 112%. This cost-effective, simple, easily miniaturised and portable method was applied not only to biofluids but also for the direct detection of codeine in soft drinks combined with a codeine-enriched syrup, a medication that is being used to adulterate beverages, particularly at specific events (drinking and nightclub parties).

Despite extensive research efforts devoted to the detection of Pb<sup>2+</sup> contamination, practical, rapid, and field-deployable sensors for Pb<sup>2+</sup> is yet to be developed to effectively safeguard the environment and public health. Herein, a label-free affinity-based sensing device is developed based on printed circuit board (PCB) for low-cost, easy-to-use, and real-time on-site detection of Pb<sup>2+</sup> ions. The sensors are prepared by forming a self-assembled monolayer of glutathione (GSH) on the surface of gold-plated PCB electrodes, which serves as a molecular probe to recognize Pb<sup>2+</sup>. Rapid and sensitive detection is achieved by using capacitance sensing integrated with microfluidic enrichment. The sensor’s interfacial capacitance is used to indicate specific binding, while the capacitance reading process simultaneously induces alternating current electrothermal (ACET) acceleration of analyte’s travel towards the probes. Thus, the enrichment and detection are integrated into a single step, making pre-concentration unnecessary and shortening the assay time to 30 s. This Pb<sup>2+</sup> sensor has demonstrated one of the lowest limits of detection reported so far (1.85 fM) with a linear range of 0.01–10 pM. To evaluate the sensor’s specificity, non-target metal ions are tested, all showing negligible responses. Testing of tap water sample also yields reasonable results, validating the sensor’s robustness.

Here, at the water–oil interface, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) interconnected by cucurbiturils[8] (CB[8]) with sub-nanometer gaps (AuNPs:CB[8]) were organized into plasmonic arrays. This arrangement was engineered to generate highly efficient hotspots. The CB[8] molecules, serving a dual role, not only facilitated the assembly of AuNPs with sub-nanometer (~ 1 nm) gaps to create intense plasmonic hotspots but also acted as molecular traps, enabling the precise localization of molecules within these hotspots. By comparing the enhancement effect of probe molecule on Au nanofilm, AuNPs:CB[8] colloids, and AuNPs:CB[8] nanofilm, it was found that the SERS intensity of the E1 characteristic peak in AuNPs:CB[8] nanofilm is five times higher than that on Au nanofilm, and more than 10<sup>4</sup> times higher than that of AuNPs:CB[8] colloids. The gaps are also accessible to different electronegativite molecules, such as estrone, <i>p</i>-aminoazobenzene, or methylene blue, which are captured at the plasmonic hotspots by the interaction of CB[8]. The method was employed for the practical detection of artificial antioxidant butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), which has a weak Raman scattering cross-section, by coupling it with a reaction to enhance its SERS effect. The detection limit of BHA in soybean oil sample is 5.89 × 10<sup>−8</sup> mol/L, with the recovery range 85.1–115%.
