TL;DR: This review highlights the importance of coupling molecular imprinting technology with methodology based on electrochemical techniques for the development of advanced sensing devices and describes possible approaches proposed in the literature on this topic.

TL;DR: The importance of nanomaterial-based technological solutions in several aspects of the fight against the virus is underlined, increasing the efficacy of personal protection equipment, developing synergistic antiviral coatings, are only two of the cases discussed.

TL;DR: The results of the analytical characterization enable a strict correlation to be established among the chemical composition of the material surface, the concentration of copper dissolved in the microorganisms broths, and the bioactivity of the nano-structured layer.

TL;DR: The electrosynthesis of copper and silver core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) by the sacrificial anode technique, employing tetraoctylammonium (TOA) salts as base electrolyte for the first time, is described, demonstrating the high efficiency of the surfactant at controlling the morphology and the chemical composition of the nanodispersed metal.

TL;DR: A voltammetric sensor for (-)-ephedrine has been prepared by a novel approach based on immobilisation of an imprinted polymer for ephedrine (MIPE) in an electrosynthesised polypyrrole (PPY) film, which showed a response which was distinctly lower than the MIP response for the same concentration of the template.
