Abstract
Despite numerous efforts have been made on exploring the preparation, properties and application of Cu2O nanocrystal, there is still a lack of a facile and green synthesis strategy to obtain well-defined Cu2O nanocubes (NCs). And exploration of the superior low-index lattice plane of Cu2O in electrochemical sensing is also inadequate. Herein, we proposed a Ni(OH)2-mediated in-situ synthetic strategy for the preparation of Cu2O NCs enclosed by low-index facets with simple procedure, mild temperature and low energy-consumption. The Ni(OH)2 sites not only facilitated the contact between Cu2+ and the substrate Ni foam (NF), but also can combine with the NF to act as a primary battery to regulate the nucleation and growth rate of Cu2O (100) facets. Benefiting from the high ratio of exposed electroneutral (100) lattice planes of nanocubes, the Cu2O NCs formed on Ni(OH)2-abundant Ni Foam (Cu2O NCs/NFEO) exhibited a wide linear range (3.25-1178.8 μM), a low detection limit (1.86 μM) and a high sensitivity (900 μA mM-1 cm-2) in dopamine hydrochloride (DAH) electrochemical sensing. This work expects to provide more clues about the relationship between different dominant low-index facets of Cu2O NCs and electrochemical sensing performance towards DAH, and thereby contributes to the development of functional materials based on Cu2O nanocrystals with desirable facets.
期刊介绍:
Talanta provides a forum for the publication of original research papers, short communications, and critical reviews in all branches of pure and applied analytical chemistry. Papers are evaluated based on established guidelines, including the fundamental nature of the study, scientific novelty, substantial improvement or advantage over existing technology or methods, and demonstrated analytical applicability. Original research papers on fundamental studies, and on novel sensor and instrumentation developments, are encouraged. Novel or improved applications in areas such as clinical and biological chemistry, environmental analysis, geochemistry, materials science and engineering, and analytical platforms for omics development are welcome.
Analytical performance of methods should be determined, including interference and matrix effects, and methods should be validated by comparison with a standard method, or analysis of a certified reference material. Simple spiking recoveries may not be sufficient. The developed method should especially comprise information on selectivity, sensitivity, detection limits, accuracy, and reliability. However, applying official validation or robustness studies to a routine method or technique does not necessarily constitute novelty. Proper statistical treatment of the data should be provided. Relevant literature should be cited, including related publications by the authors, and authors should discuss how their proposed methodology compares with previously reported methods.
