Abstract
Dopamine (DA) is not only an important neurotransmitter involving in the regulation of life activities, but also a typical biomarker of neurodegenerative diseases. Accurate detection of DA content is of great significance for early diagnosis and treatment of related illness. Herein, a ratio electrochemical sensing platform was constructed based on covalent organic framework (COF) assembled MXene composite nanomaterials for sensitive, selective and accurate detection of DA. β-ketoenamine COF with high electrochemical activity can export a stable electrochemical signal during the sensing process, which provides the necessary conditions for the construction of ratio electrochemical biosensor. MXene, an emerging material with rich functional groups, as a carrier for in-situ growth of COF, effectively improves the material conductivity, and significantly amplifies the reference signal of COF and response signal of DA, simultaneously. It is the hydrogen bonds and van der Waals force between COF and the target molecule that achieve the selective response of the modified material to DA. Due to the synergistic effect between COF and MXene, the sensing platform (TFAQ COF@MXene/GCE) exhibited an excellent analytical performance towards DA with a wide linear range (0.05–800 μM) and low detection limit (0.0061 μM) as well as good stain-resistance and reproducibility and achieved precise analysis of DA in drug injection and human serum. This work provides a new and effective strategy for constructing COFs-based electrochemical sensors with self-calibration, strain-resistance and significant signal amplification.
期刊介绍:
Talanta provides a forum for the publication of original research papers, short communications, and critical reviews in all branches of pure and applied analytical chemistry. Papers are evaluated based on established guidelines, including the fundamental nature of the study, scientific novelty, substantial improvement or advantage over existing technology or methods, and demonstrated analytical applicability. Original research papers on fundamental studies, and on novel sensor and instrumentation developments, are encouraged. Novel or improved applications in areas such as clinical and biological chemistry, environmental analysis, geochemistry, materials science and engineering, and analytical platforms for omics development are welcome.
Analytical performance of methods should be determined, including interference and matrix effects, and methods should be validated by comparison with a standard method, or analysis of a certified reference material. Simple spiking recoveries may not be sufficient. The developed method should especially comprise information on selectivity, sensitivity, detection limits, accuracy, and reliability. However, applying official validation or robustness studies to a routine method or technique does not necessarily constitute novelty. Proper statistical treatment of the data should be provided. Relevant literature should be cited, including related publications by the authors, and authors should discuss how their proposed methodology compares with previously reported methods.
