NH<sub>2</sub>-MWCNTs are better dispersed by CMC, and NH<sub>2</sub>-MWCNTs are cross-linked with ZIF-67, which further improves the response and sensitivity of the electrode to the Lut due to the peroxide-like properties of ZIF-67.

The prepared electrochemical sensor is also used to analysis Lut content in various parts of dandelion. The results show that the flowers part of dandelion exhibits the highest concentration of Lut; while, the leaves contain a moderate amount, and the roots are nearly devoid of Lut.
