Simple Preparation and Characterization of Hierarchical Flower-like NiCo2O4 Nanoplates: Applications for Sunset Yellow Electrochemical Analysis

Abstract

The current work was performed to construct a novel electrochemical sensing system for determination of sunset yellow via the modification of screen-printed graphite electrode modified with hierarchical flower-like NiCo2O4 nanoplates (NiCo2O4/SPGE). The prepared material (hierarchical flower-like NiCo2O4 nanoplates) was analyzed by diverse microscopic and spectroscopic approaches for the crystallinity, composition, and morphology. Chronoamperometry, differential pulse voltammetry, linear sweep voltammetry, and cyclic voltammetry were used for determination of the electrochemical behavior of sunset yellow. The as-fabricated sensor had appreciable electro-catalytic performance and current sensitivity in detecting the sunset yellow. There were some advantages for NiCo2O4/SPGE under the optimized circumstances of sunset yellow determination, including a broad dynamic linear between 0.02 and 145.0 µM, high sensitivity of 0.67 μA/(μM.cm2), and a narrow limit of detection of 0.008 μM. The practical applicability of the proposed sensor was verified by determining the sunset yellow in real matrices, with satisfactory recoveries.

“…The sensitivity of the sensor response is 113.1 ± 0.7 and 188.1 ± 0.9 μA M -1 for the first and the second analytical ranges, respectively, which is higher than that reported for the electrodes modified with hierarchical flower-like NiCo2O4 nanoplates [51], muti-walled carbon nanotube/poly(4-aminobenzoic acid) [73], poly(Alizarin Red-S)/functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes [74], flower-like MoS2 [75], etc. The detection limit of SY FCF calculated as 3SDa/b equals 8.0 nM.…”

“…Despite various advantages, these methods have some disadvantages because they are costly, time-consuming, and environmentally incompatible, and require much experience. Electrochemical approaches have aroused great attention because of their merits such as cost-effectiveness, simplicity, portability, rapidity, and high selectivity in biological fluids, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical products [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ].…”
