Abstract
Ratiometric strategy is very effective to improve the reproducibility and reliability of electrochemcial sensors. Herein, a novel internal reference probe namely Fe-based MOFs (MIL-101), was adopted to provide the reference signal due to its obvious Fe oxidation behavior, without the necessary of literatural extensively used fixing electroactive small molecules. Besides, by introducing graphene nanosheet (GS), the resulting MIL-101/GS composite displayed remarkably reinforced electrochemcial active surface, electron transfer kinetics and adsorptive property. Compared to individual components, the composite demonstrated notably improved oxidation signals for both Fe and 17β-estradiol (E2) owing to the combined effects of MIL-101 and GS working together. Based on the dual-signal output model, a sensitive and reliable ratiometric electrochemcial sensor for E2 was readily constructed, possessing a broad linear range of 10–1200 µg L−1 and achieving a low detection limit of 3.55 μg L−1. Finally, good practicability was verified by application of the method in milk sample analysis.
期刊介绍:
The Microchemical Journal is a peer reviewed journal devoted to all aspects and phases of analytical chemistry and chemical analysis. The Microchemical Journal publishes articles which are at the forefront of modern analytical chemistry and cover innovations in the techniques to the finest possible limits. This includes fundamental aspects, instrumentation, new developments, innovative and novel methods and applications including environmental and clinical field.
Traditional classical analytical methods such as spectrophotometry and titrimetry as well as established instrumentation methods such as flame and graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry, gas chromatography, and modified glassy or carbon electrode electrochemical methods will be considered, provided they show significant improvements and novelty compared to the established methods.
