Abstract
Baicalin is an index component used for the quality evaluation of Scutellaria baicalensisGeorgi with significant anticancer activity. It is very important to develop a highly selective and sensitive method for the detection of baicalin in complex samples, which is used for standardized planting, harvesting, and processing of Scutellaria baicalensis, quality control of Scutellaria baicalensis herbs and products. Based on this, a novel electrochemical sensor based on CS/ACK@CeO2-NPs composite material was constructed for the rapid and sensitive detection of baicalin in complex samples. It is noteworthy that cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2-NPs) were loaded on the KMnO4-modified activated carbon (ACK) and used in the construction of electrochemical sensors for the first time. The number of micropores of ACK was significantly increased, and the specific surface area of the material was effectively increased. The combination of ACK with cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2-NPs) avoided the agglomeration of CeO2-NPs, which produced a significant synergistic effect, increased the electron transfer rate, and provided more active adsorption sites for electron transfer. In addition, chitosan (CS) has good film-forming performance, so adding CS to the ACK@CeO2-NPs system not only improves the film-forming performance and mechanical properties but also makes the constructed sensor more stable and sensitive. After optimizing the conditions, the test displayed good linearity in the concentration range (2.24 × 10−4 ~ 4.48 × 10−7 mol/L) of baicalin with the lowest detection limit of 4.81 × 10−9 mol/L (S/N = 3) when it is used for the detection of baicalin in complex samples. This method provides a new approach for the rapid and sensitive detection of baicalin in complex samples. The application of electrochemical analysis techniques to the instant monitoring of active or indicator components in the materials of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and their preparations is expected to provide a sensitive, rapid, and reliable monitoring and analysis technique for the quality control of TCM and their products throughout their life cycle.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry is devoted to all aspects of solid-state chemistry and solid-state physics in electrochemistry.
The Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry publishes papers on all aspects of electrochemistry of solid compounds, including experimental and theoretical, basic and applied work.
