Abstract
In this work, intrinsic conductivity mismatch of NiFe layered double hydroxide (NFL) catalysts and agglomeration of nanosheets were addressed by introducing N doped carbon nanotubes (NCNTs) which improves catalytic activity. Using a one-step wet chemical process, CNT-supported NiFeLDH nanosheets (NFL/NCNTx, x = 20, 50 and 100) were effectively created. This work delves into the lower level sensitive electrochemical detection of serotonin (5-HT) by utilizing synergy of CNT and LDH. The modified NFL/NCNT exhibits better electrochemical activity, appreciable sensitivity and spanned a concentration range of 0.01–400 μM with detection limit stood at 1.2 nM due to the plethora of electrochemical active surface area, remarkable conductivity and appreciable stability. Impressively, 96.0–96.8 % and 96.7–97.2 % recovery rates achieved in human urine and serum samples were well close to HPLC data, signifying its feasibility for real-time monitoring. The operational stability of the proposed sensor retained up to 89.13 % for 6 weeks. The present study highlights that tailoring NFL-NCNT heterojunction is an important strategy for the development of active and stable sensing platform.
期刊介绍:
The journal Carbon is an international multidisciplinary forum for communicating scientific advances in the field of carbon materials. It reports new findings related to the formation, structure, properties, behaviors, and technological applications of carbons. Carbons are a broad class of ordered or disordered solid phases composed primarily of elemental carbon, including but not limited to carbon black, carbon fibers and filaments, carbon nanotubes, diamond and diamond-like carbon, fullerenes, glassy carbon, graphite, graphene, graphene-oxide, porous carbons, pyrolytic carbon, and other sp2 and non-sp2 hybridized carbon systems. Carbon is the companion title to the open access journal Carbon Trends. Relevant application areas for carbon materials include biology and medicine, catalysis, electronic, optoelectronic, spintronic, high-frequency, and photonic devices, energy storage and conversion systems, environmental applications and water treatment, smart materials and systems, and structural and thermal applications.
