Abstract

Meeting the continuous glucose monitoring requirements of individuals necessitates the research and development of sensors with high sensitivity and stability. In this study, a straightforward strategy was proposed for synthesizing ultra-thin oxygen-rich graphitized carbon nanosheets (denoted as GCS-O). These nanosheets are obtained by calcining a topologically two-dimensional indium-based coordination polymer. Subsequently, the growth of FeNi Prussian blue analogue (PBA) on GCS-O effectively introduces active sites and increases the nitrogen content within the carbonaceous matrix. The resulting FeNi-PBA/GCS-O composite exhibits excellent glucose sensing performance with a broad linear range of 1 to 1300 μmol·L−1. Meanwhile, it also achieves a high sensitivity of 2496 μA·mmol−1·L·cm−2, a limit of detection of 100 nmol·L−1 (S/N = 3), and commendable long-term durability. The relatively simple synthesis process, exceptional sensitivity, and satisfactory electrochemical sensing performance of FeNi-PBA/GCS-O open up new directions for biosensor applications.

摘要

为满足个体连续血糖监测的需求，需要研究和开发高灵敏度、高稳定性的传感器。在这项研究中，作者提出了一种简单的策略来合成超薄富氧石墨化碳纳米片(记为GCS-O)。这些纳米片是通过煅烧二维铟基配位聚合物获得的。随后，FeNi普鲁士蓝类似物(PBA)在GCS-O上生长从而有效地引入了活性位点，增加了碳质基质内的氮含量。所得FeNi-PBA/GCS-O复合材料在1 ~ 1300 μmol·L−1M的宽线性范围内具有良好的葡萄糖传感性能。同时具有2496 μA·mmol−1·L·cm−2的高灵敏度，100 nmol·L−1的检出限(S/N = 3)，较好的长期耐用性。FeNi-PBA/GCS-O相对简单的合成工艺、优异的灵敏度和令人满意的电化学传感性能为生物传感器的应用开辟了新的方向。
