In this work, an enhanced electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor based on gold nanoflower@graphitic carbon nitride polymer nanosheet-polyaniline hybrids (AuNF@g-C3N4-PANI) was prepared for the detection of dapamine (DA). First, the bulk g-C3N4 was prepared through polymerizing melamine under 600 °C. And then the g-C3N4 nanosheet was obtained by ultrasonication-assisted liquid exfoliation of bulk g-C3N4. Finally, polyaniline (PANI) and gold nanoflowers (AuNFs) were successively formed on the g-C3N4 nanosheet through an in situ synthesis method. The resulting AuNF@g-C3N4-PANI hybrids were modified onto the surface of glassy carbon electrode to achieve a sensor (AuNF@g-C3N4-PANI/GCE) for detecting dopamine. Under the optimal conditions, the ECL signal increased linearly with the concentration of dopamine. The linear range of 5.0 × 10(-9) to 1.6 × 10(-6) M was obtained, while the detection limit was 1.7 × 10(-9) M. The prepared sensor exhibited a low detection limit and high sensitivity for the determination of dopamine. The combination of g-C3N4 nanosheet, PANI and AuNF would provide a new opportunity for the ECL sensor.
The anodic electrochemiluminescence (ECL) behavior of poly(9,9-dioctylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl) (PFO) dots was studied and applied in oxidoreductase-based ECL biosensing using Chox as the model enzyme.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
