RESUMEN
To ensure drinking water quality, the development of rapid and accurate analytical methods is essential. Herein, a highly sensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) aptasensor-based on the signal on-off-on strategy was developed to detect the water pollutant microcystin-LR (MC-LR). This strategy was based on a newly prepared ruthenium-copper metal-organic framework (RuCu MOF) as the ECL signal-transmitting probe and three types of PdPt alloy core-shell nanocrystals with different crystal structures as signal-off probes. Compounding the copper-based MOF (Cu-MOF) precursor with ruthenium bipyridyl at room temperature facilitated the retention of the intrinsic crystallinity and high porosity of the MOFs as well as afforded excellent ECL performance. Since bipyridine ruthenium in RuCu MOFs could transfer energies to the organic ligand (H3BTC), the ultra-efficient ligand luminescent ECL signal probe was finally obtained, which greatly improved the sensitivity of the aptasensor. To further improve the sensitivity of the aptasensor, the quenching effects of noble metal nanoalloy particles with different crystal states were investigated, which contained PdPt octahedral (PdPtOct), PdPt rhombic dodecahedral (PdPtRD), and PdPt nanocube (PdPtNC). Among them, the PdPtRD nanocrystal exhibited higher activity and excellent durability, stemming from the charge redistribution caused by the hybridization of Pt and Pd atoms. Moreover, PdPtRD could also load more -NH2-DNA strands because it exposed more active sites with a large specific surface area. The fabricated aptasensor exhibited outstanding sensitivity and stability in MC-LR detection, with a linear detection range of 0.0001-50 ng mL-1. This study provides valuable directions for the application of alloy nanoparticles of noble metals and bimetallic MOFs in the field of ECL immunoassay.

As an inflammatory marker, procalcitonin (PCT) is more representative than other traditional inflammatory markers. In this work, a highly efficient photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunosensor was constructed based on the photoactive material Bi2S3/Ag2S to realize the sensitive detection of PCT. Bi2S3 was prepared by a hydrothermal method, and Ag2S quantum dots were deposited on the ITO/Bi2S3 surface via in situ reduction. Bi2S3 is a kind of admirable photoelectric semiconductor nanomaterial on account of its moderate bandgap width and low binding rate of photogenerated electron holes, which can effectively convert light energy into electrical energy. Therefore, based on the energy level matching principle of Bi2S3 and Ag2S, a labeled Bi2S3/Ag2S PEC immunosensor was constructed, and the sensitive detection of PCT was successfully established. The linear detection range of the PEC immunosensor was 0.50 pgâmL-1 to 50 ngâmL-1, and the minimum detection limit was 0.18 pgâmL-1. Compared with the traditional PEC strategy, the proposed PEC immunosensor is simple, convenient, and has good anti-interference, sensitivity, and specificity, which could provide a meaningful theoretical basis and reference value for the clinical detection of PCT.

The successful application of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) in various fields required continuous exploration of novel ECL signal emitters. In this work, we have proposed a pristine ECL luminophor named NiRu MOFs, which owned extremely high and stable ECL transmission efficiency and was synthesized via a straightforward two-step hydrothermal pathway. The foundation framework of pure Ni-MOFs with the initial structure was layered-pillared constructed by the coordinated octahedrally divalent between nickel and terephthalic acid (BDC). The terephthalates were coordinated and pillared directly to the nickel hydroxide layers and the three-dimensional framework was formed, which had a weak ECL response strength. Then, the ruthenium pyridine complex was recombined with pure Ni-MOFs to produce NiRu MOFs and part of the introduced ruthenium was atomically dispersed in the layered-pillared structure through an ion-exchange method, which led to the ECL luminous efficiency being significantly boosted more than pure Ni-MOFs. In order to verify the superiority of this newly synthesized illuminant, an ECL immunoassay model has been designed, and the results demonstrated that it had extremely strong and steady signal output in practical application. This study realized an efficient platform in ECL immunoassay application with the limit of detection of 0.32 pg mL-1 for neuron-specific enolase (NSE). Therefore, the approach which combined the pristine pure Ni-MOFs and the star-illuminant ruthenium pyridine complex would provide a convenient and meaningful solution for exploring the next-generation ECL emitters.

Micromirrors based on micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology are widely employed in different areas, such as optical switching and medical scan imaging. As the key component of MEMS LiDAR, electromagnetic MEMS torsional micromirrors have the advantages of small size, a simple structure, and low energy consumption. However, MEMS micromirrors face severe disturbances due to vehicular vibrations in realistic use situations. The paper deals with the precise motion control of MEMS micromirrors, considering external vibration. A dynamic model of MEMS micromirrors, considering the coupling between vibration and torsion, is proposed. The coefficients in the dynamic model were identified using the experimental method. A feedforward sliding mode control method (FSMC) is proposed in this paper. By establishing the dynamic coupling model of electromagnetic MEMS torsional micromirrors, the proposed FSMC is evaluated considering external vibrations, and compared with conventional proportion-integral-derivative (PID) controls in terms of robustness and accuracy. The simulation experiment results indicate that the FSMC controller has certain advantages over a PID controller. This paper revealed the coupling dynamic of MEMS micromirrors, which could be used for a dynamic analysis and a control algorithm design for MEMS micromirrors.
