Abstract

A Ni-MOF superstructure composed of 2D nanosheet (2D Ni-MOFss) was prepared and further combined with reduce graphene oxide (rGO) for electrochemical detection of acetaminophen (AP). The structure and properties of the 2D Ni-MOFss were characterized by SEM, XRD, XPS, and electrochemical method. The loosened 2D lamella structure endowed the 2D Ni-MOFss with improved electrocatalysis and low charge transfer resistance than bulky Ni-MOF. After integration with rGO, the composite 2D Ni-MOFss/rGO shows significantly enhanced catalysis for redox reaction of AP with high current response and low over-potential. An electrochemical sensor for AP based on the 2D Ni-MOFss/rGO shows a wide linear range of 0.036 to 50 μM, and a low detection limit of 0.012 μM. The sensor with high sensitivity, good selectivity, and stability also show satisfied recovery for detecting AP in real sample. The facile preparation and enhanced catalysis make these 2D MOF composite attractive materials for electrochemical sensors.
