Sensitive and Stable Electrochemical Sensor for Folic Acid Determination Using a ZIF-67/AgNWs Nanocomposite

Abstract

An electrochemical sensor using silver nanowires (AgNWs)-doped with a zeolite-like metal–organic framework (ZIF-67) was developed for highly sensitive and stable determination of folic acid (FA). The ZIF-67/AgNWs nanocomposite was prepared by a one-step reaction via a template method and drop-coated onto the surface of a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) to form a ZIF-67/AgNWs@SPCE electrochemical sensing platform. The electrochemical square wave voltammetry (SWV) curve for this sensing platform was measured in an electrolyte solution containing FA under the optimum experimental conditions. The redox peak current of FA (IFA) increased with increases in the FA concentration (CFA). There was a linear relationship between IFA and CFA in the range of 0.1 μM to 10 μM, and the determination limit was 30 nM. The ZIF-67/AgNWs@SPCE was used as an electrochemical sensor for FA which maintained a good stability over 7 days and showed good determination performance in real samples with a high recovery rate (100.9–102.1%, n = 6).

Colorimetric and naked-eye detection of arsenic(iii) using a paper-based microfluidic device decorated with silver nanoparticles

“…This trait distinguishes them for use in a wide range of spectroscopic studies. 57,58 The formation of Ag NWs is endorsed by the appearance of absorption bands at 298 and 420 nm (Fig. S14 (see ESI †)).…”

Fate of Sniff-the-Diseases Through Nanomaterials-Supported Optical Biochip Sensors

“…19 However, electrochemical sensors have the potential to significantly improve sensitivity and selectivity in several applications, such as glucose detection, according to recent research. 20 An example of a sensor that combines optical and electrochemical approaches is the electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) sensor. 21 This type of sensor combines mass sensing with electrochemical detection.…”

Preparation of anisotropic AgNWs/PVA/Ag2S nanocomposites via a vapor-phase sulfidation process

“…Thus, the use of AgNWs as llers for the preparation of AgNWs conductive polymer nanocomposites retains the advantages of high surface area and high electrical conductivity, while compensating for the disadvantages of AgNWs. 11,12 One of the polymer materials that can be used in this regard is PVA. Thus, PVA has many applications in terms of its biocompatibility, high dielectric properties, transparency, and easy solubility in water.…”
