Abstract:Sleep is an inherent property of human beings, and it is mainly associated with the sleep hormone melatonin (MEL). Abnormal levels of MEL can lead to disorders like hypertension, stress, dementia, Alzheimer's disease, etc. Therefore, continuous monitoring of this hormone is of great concern. In this study, we have developed a sensing platform by combining Nb 2 CT x MXene nanosheets with a zinc-based metal−organic framework (Zn-MOF). The MOF was synthesized using a zinc ion as the metal part and L-glutamic acid… Show more
