This review provides a brief history of noninvasive and minimally invasive enzyme-based lactate biosensors and energy biodevices. We introduce key principles of lactate oxidase and lactate dehydrogenase, together with immobilization strategies for efficient electrical contacts between redox enzymes and electrode supports. Additionally, we discuss recent examples of advanced wearable enzymatic lactate sensors and elaborate on a collection of self-powered wearable energy biodevices (e. g., biofuel cells, triboelectric nanogenerators, and piezoelectric devices).

After the morphology and SERS activity characterization, Au@Ag-MOFs were employed to sensitive and label-free detect <i>p</i>-chlorobenzaldehyde (PCB) in water samples. The pore structure and large surface area of Ag-MOFs shell results more adsorption of PCB, dragging more molecules to “hot spots” area. The abundant amino group in Ag-MOFs allows the occurrence of Schiff base reaction with aldehyde group in PCB. Taking the synergistic effect of both physical and chemical enhancement, SERS signals of PCB were greatly boosted.

Further investigation strongly indicated lipid fragmentation to PAs for MALDI-MSI, but not with nano-DESI-MSI. We finally extend this observation to the MALDI-MSI analyses of human tissues, showing that PA annotations comprised up to 16 % of annotations.
