Solvent-assisted iron oxide nanoparticles for selective electrochemical detection of chlorogenic acid in real samples
Backgrounds
Iron oxide (α-Fe2O3, hematite) is a widely available, cost-effective, and highly stable p-type semiconductor with significant potential for various applications. Due to its excellent electrochemical properties, hematite has been extensively employed in detecting toxic pollutants. However, optimizing its synthesis conditions can enhance its electrocatalytic efficiency, making it a promising material for electrochemical sensing applications.
Methods
Hematite (α-Fe₂O₃) nanoparticles were synthesized using a solvothermal method by varying solvents. The structural and morphological properties were characterized using PXRD, FT-IR, BET, XPS, FE-SEM, and HR-TEM techniques. Electrochemical performance was evaluated using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square wave voltammetry (SWV), while the analysis of electron transfer kinetics was conducted via electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The Fe₂O₃-E (Iron oxide prepared using ethanol as solvent) modified GCE (glassy carbon electrode) sensor was then tested for chlorogenic acid (CGA) detection under optimized conditions.
Significance
The developed Fe₂O₃-E modified GCE sensor exhibited outstanding electrocatalytic activity for CGA detection, demonstrating a low detection limit (0.0066 µM) and a wide linear range (0.05–668 µM). It showed excellent selectivity despite potential interferences and maintained high stability. Furthermore, the sensor successfully detected CGA in human fluids (blood) and food samples (coffee beans, carrots, and tea) with satisfactory recoveries. Its integration with screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCE) highlights its potential for real-time, portable sensing applications in biological and environmental analysis.
