Summary: This paper introduces the issues and shortcomings of Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) and proposes an improved version called Multi-Stage Grey Wolf Optimizer (MGWO). By dividing the search process into three stages and using different population updating strategies, MGWO improves optimization ability while maintaining a certain convergence speed. It has a better balance of exploration and exploitation, can avoid getting trapped in local optima, and obtains higher-quality solutions.

Summary: A novel electrochemical sensor based on a PGE modified with molecularly imprinted graphene oxide/zinc oxide nanocomposites was presented for sensitive detection of andrographolide. The modified PGE showed good linear response and repeatability for andrographolide detection under optimized conditions, demonstrating excellent selectivity in the presence of interfering substances. The proposed method was successfully applied to determine andrographolide in real water samples with comparable results to the established method.
