Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
In this paper, we report a simple one-step synthesis of well-dispersed amorphous cobalt hydroxide/oxide-modified graphene oxide (CoOxH-GO) possessing peroxidase-like catalytic activity, and its application for the detection of H2O2, glucose, and CN- ions. CoOxH is formed and deposited in situ on the GO surface through the reaction between GO (size similar to 240 nm) and Co2+ in basic solution at room temperature. We investigated the enzyme-mimicking activity of the CoOxH-GO nanohybrid in detail via the H2O2-mediated oxidation of Amplex Red (AR) to form fluorescent resorufin. The peroxidase-like activity of CoOxH-GO is utilized herein for the quantitation of H2O2 in a wide concentration range, from 100 nM to 100 mu M. When coupled with glucose oxidase (GOD), the AR/CoOxH-GO system can determine glucose level in blood samples. Interestingly, cyanide ions (CN-) significantly inhibit the catalytic activity of the CoOxH-GO nanohybrid, which allows for the construction of a probe for the detection of CN- in water samples and laboratory wastes. We fabricated a membrane-based CoOxH-GO probe for the visual detection of CN- by preparing a thin film of CoOxH-GO on a positively charged and porous nylon membrane (N+M). The CoOxH-GO/N+M operates on the principle that CN- inhibits the catalytic activity of CoOxH-GO towards the H2O2-mediated oxidation of AR to form reddish resorufin on the membrane. The intensity of the red color of the membrane decreases with increasing CN- concentration, which can be easily observed with the naked eye at the nanomolar level. This cost-effective sensing system allows for the rapid and simple determination of the concentrations of CN- in complicated wastewater samples.
