PtRu bimetallic nanoparticles embedded in MOF-derived porous carbons (PtRu-PCs) were synthesized by first loading PtRu bimetallic nanoparticles into a UiO66-NH 2 host matrix and then going in situ carbonization at high temperatures. In the synthetic strategy, UiO66-NH 2 was used not only as a precursor to limit the aggregation and migration of PtRu bimetallic nanoparticles, but also as a self-sacrificial template to improve the conductivity. The as-prepared PtRu-PCs were characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, and XPS. The PtRu-PC-based sensor had excellent sensitivity with a detection limit of 0.024 μM (S/N = 3). The developed method was successfully applied to real water samples with a recovery rate of 92-107%.
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.
