Abstract
Baicalin is a principal component of traditional Chinese medicine and plays a crucial role in treating conditions such as arthritis, respiratory tract infections, chronic and acute hepatitis, and tumors. Graphene oxide is bonded to silicon dioxide (SiO2) through covalent bonds or hydrogen bonds and then reduced to SiO2@rGO through hydrazine hydrate to solve the problem of easy accumulation of SiO2 and improve the conductivity of the material. Next, β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) self-assembles on SiO2@rGO to form a stable inclusion complex. The hydrophobic inner cavity of β-CD can effectively accommodate various guest molecules to form inclusion complexes, enhancing molecular recognition and detection capabilities. Finally, β-CD/SiO2@rGO is bridged and surface-loaded between clay-like Ti3C2Tx (MXenes) nanosheets through electrostatic interactions to form a stable three-dimensional composite material. It is precisely because of MXenes, due to their unique layered microstructure, excellent conductivity, and extensive hydrophilic surface area, that they are conducive to self-assembly or embedding nanoparticles in aqueous solution. The composite was characterized via X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. Under optimized conditions, the electrochemical sensor constructed from this composite exhibited a broad detection range (0.008–10 μM) and a low detection limit (0.191 nM) for baicalin. In comparison to existing methods for detecting baicalin, this approach demonstrates strong anti-interference capabilities and stability. It can efficiently, sensitively, and accurately quantify baicalin in Chinese patent medicine samples, including Scutellaria baicalensis root, Shuanghuanglian oral liquid, and Bear Bile Scutellaria baicalensis eye drops, achieving a satisfactory recovery rate. This study introduces a novel approach for the electrochemical detection of baicalin.
期刊介绍:
DRM is a leading international journal that publishes new fundamental and applied research on all forms of diamond, the integration of diamond with other advanced materials and development of technologies exploiting diamond. The synthesis, characterization and processing of single crystal diamond, polycrystalline films, nanodiamond powders and heterostructures with other advanced materials are encouraged topics for technical and review articles. In addition to diamond, the journal publishes manuscripts on the synthesis, characterization and application of other related materials including diamond-like carbons, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and boron and carbon nitrides. Articles are sought on the chemical functionalization of diamond and related materials as well as their use in electrochemistry, energy storage and conversion, chemical and biological sensing, imaging, thermal management, photonic and quantum applications, electron emission and electronic devices.
The International Conference on Diamond and Carbon Materials has evolved into the largest and most well attended forum in the field of diamond, providing a forum to showcase the latest results in the science and technology of diamond and other carbon materials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, and diamond-like carbon. Run annually in association with Diamond and Related Materials the conference provides junior and established researchers the opportunity to exchange the latest results ranging from fundamental physical and chemical concepts to applied research focusing on the next generation carbon-based devices.
