Abstract
Quercetin (Que) is a ubiquitous flavonoid and polyphenol antioxidant. Negatively charged MoS2 was self-assembled onto the surface of positively charged SiO2 nanospheres to form SiO2@MoS2 core-shell materials. Subsequently, the materials were embedded into the interlayer of MXenes to form an effectively conductive three-dimensional heterostructured composite. The MoS2 shell formed on SiO2 not only retained the intrinsic properties of SiO2 but also improved its conductivity and specific surface area. In addition, the addition of SiO2@MoS2 to the interlayer of MXenes effectively alleviated the interference within the potential window and promoted the accurate electrical signal detection of Que. The detection range of the SiO2@MoS2/MXenes electrochemical sensor was 20 nM ∼ 30 μM, and the detection limit was 2 nM. The sensor can be effectively applied to the detection of Que. in 12 kinds of fruits, vegetables and agricultural products, and the results were comparable to those of UV spectrophotometry with satisfactory recovery.
