In the presence of uricase, uric acid generated H2O2, which further decomposed CoOOH nanoflakes to release Co2+, resulting in smaller nanoparticles with lower light scattering. Based on the relationship between the reduced light scattering and uric acid concentration, the simple strategy was applicable to uric acid sensing in human serum samples.
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.
