RESUMO
In this study, a new amperometric biosensor was developed for glucose determination. For this purpose, polyaniline-polypyrrole-poly(sodium-4-styrenesulfonate) film was prepared by electropolymerization of aniline and pyrrole with poly(sodium-4-styrenesulfonate) on a platinum plate. The best working conditions of the polyaniline-polypyrrole-poly(sodium-4-styrenesulfonate) film were determined. The glucose oxidase enzyme was immobilized by the entrapment method in polyaniline-polypyrrole-poly(sodium-4-styrenesulfonate) film. Glucose determination was made based on the oxidation of hydrogen peroxide, which is formed as a result of the enzymatic reaction on the surface of the prepared biosensor at +0.40 V. The working range for the glucose determination of the biosensor was determined. The effects of pH and temperature on the response of the glucose biosensor were investigated. The reusability and shelf life of the biosensor were determined. The effects of interference in biological environments on the response of the biosensor were investigated. Glucose determination was made in the biological fluid (blood) with the prepared biosensor. This study has a feature that sheds light on biosensor studies to be developed for the detection of substances in the human body, such as glucose, uric acid, and urea. This article will set an example for future scientific research on the development of a sensor for other biological fluids in the human body, such as the sensor developed for blood samples. In addition, this developed sensor provides an innovation that improves the quality of life of patients by allowing them to constantly monitor their glucose levels and intervene when necessary.

The activated carbon-supported zinc oxide catalyst was characterized by UV-Vis spectrometry techniques, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer (FTIR), Transmissive electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods. XRD characterization measurements showed that the average size of the crystal NPs was 6.89 nm. According to the TEM analysis results, the nanoparticles' average size was 11.411 nm, and the particles had a spherical structure. The catalytic properties of the synthesized material were determined using the sodium borohydride methanolysis reaction. A kinetic study was performed regarding the effects of temperature, catalyst, and substrate concentration on the methanolysis reaction. Reusability experiments showed that the catalyst had excellent catalytic activity (85%), stability, and selectivity. As a result of the kinetic study, activation energy, enthalpy (ΔH), entropy (ΔS), and hydrogen production rate activation parameters were found to be 42.52 kJ/mol, 39.98 kJ/mol, -181.42 J/mol.K, 1257.69 mL/min. g, respectively. Also, the photocatalytic activity of ZnO@AC NPs was analyzed against Rhodamine B (RhB) dye, and the maximum degradation percentage was observed to be 76% at 120 min. This study aimed to develop the ZnO@AC NPs into an efficient photocatalyst to prevent industrial wastewater pollution and as a catalyst for hydrogen synthesis as an alternative energy source.

This study aimed to guide future sensor studies against other pharmaceutical drugs by synthesizing Fe3O4NPs@MWCNT metallic nanoparticles (NPs). Side damage caused by excessive accumulation of tuberculosis drugs in the body can cause clots in the organs, and cause serious damage such as heart attack and respiratory failure, and threaten human life. Therefore, the development of sensors sensitive to various antibiotics in this study is important for human health. In this study, the sensitivity of Fe3O4 NPs to tuberculosis drug (rifampicin) was evaluated by catalytic reaction using bare/GCE, MWCNT/GCE, and Fe3O4NPs@MWCNT/GCE electrodes. First of all, Fe3O4 NPs were successfully synthesized for the study and MWCNT/GCE and Fe3O4 NPs@MWCNT/GCE electrodes were formed with the modification of the MWCNT support material. It was observed that the Fe3O4 NPs@MWCNT/GCE electrode gave the highest signal against the other electrodes. The morphological structure of Fe3O4 NPs was determined by various characterization techniques such as Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Fourier Transmission Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis), and X-ray differential (XRD) and the obtained NPs were used for sensor studies, and it was observed that the current intensity increased as the scanning speed of each electrode increased in CV and DPV measurements. The average size of Fe3O4 NPs was found to be 7.32 ± 3.2 nm. Anodic current peaks occurred in the linear range of 2-25 µM. According to the results obtained from the measurements, the limit of detection (LOD) value was calculated as 0.64 µM limit of quantification (LOQ) 1.92 µM.

This study, it is aimed to develop an electrochemical aptasensor that can detect phosphate ions using 3.3'5.5' tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). It is based on the principle of converting the binding affinity of the target molecule phosphate ion (PO43-) into an electrochemical signal with specific aptamer sequences for the aptasensor to be developed. The aptamer structure served as a gate for the TMB to be released and was used to trap the TMB molecule in mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs). The samples for this study were characterized by transmission electron spectroscopy (TEM), Brunner-Emmet-Teller, dynamic light scattering&electrophoretic light scattering, and induction coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy. According to TEM analysis, MSNPs have a morphologically hexagonal structure and an average size of 208 nm. In this study, palladium-carbon nanoparticles (Pd/C NPs) with catalytic reaction were used as an alternative to the biologically used horseradish peroxidase (HRP) enzyme for the release of TMB in the presence of phosphate ions. The limit of detection (LOD) was calculated as 0.983 µM, the limit of determination (LOQ) was calculated as 3.276 µM, and the dynamic linear phosphate range was found to be 50-1000 µM. The most important advantage of this bio-based aptasensor assembly is that it does not contain molecules such as a protein that cannot be stored for a long time at room temperature, so its shelf life is very long compared to similar systems developed with antibodies. The proposed sensor shows good recovery in phosphate ion detection and is considered to have great potential among electrochemical sensors.
