Abstract
Herein, we report a fast (10 min) and simple surface treatment of pure carbon cloth (CC) only by an air plasma. The structural characterizations indicate that the air plasma process brings out higher rugosity, more defects, and increased oxygen-related groups on CC surfaces than Ar- or N2-plasma, which can offer abundant capture sites, large electroactive area, and superhydrophilic interface for analytes. As a result, the air-treated CC (CC-PAir) electrode achieves a pronounced improvement of electrocatalytic activity for the [Fe(CN)6]3-/[Fe(CN)6]4- probe evidenced by increased peak currents, decreased peak-to-peak separation, and the lowered resistance of charge transfer. It is also demonstrated that the self-supported CC-PAir electrode possesses excellent sensing performance toward dopamine (DA) and uric acid (UA). The feasibility of the simultaneous electrochemical detection of DA and UA can be verified by their large peak potential gap (∼112 mV) for differential pulse voltammetry. The chronoamperometric sensor yields wide linear ranges of 0.05-100 μM for DA and 0.5-300 μM for UA. The corresponding detection limits are estimated to be 2.6 and 20.4 nM for DA and UA, respectively. The sensor also displays satisfactory selectivity, stability, and reproducibility. Due to good flexibility, the CC-PAir electrode presents great potential for manufacturing wearable and soft electronics for human health monitoring.
期刊介绍:
Talanta provides a forum for the publication of original research papers, short communications, and critical reviews in all branches of pure and applied analytical chemistry. Papers are evaluated based on established guidelines, including the fundamental nature of the study, scientific novelty, substantial improvement or advantage over existing technology or methods, and demonstrated analytical applicability. Original research papers on fundamental studies, and on novel sensor and instrumentation developments, are encouraged. Novel or improved applications in areas such as clinical and biological chemistry, environmental analysis, geochemistry, materials science and engineering, and analytical platforms for omics development are welcome.
Analytical performance of methods should be determined, including interference and matrix effects, and methods should be validated by comparison with a standard method, or analysis of a certified reference material. Simple spiking recoveries may not be sufficient. The developed method should especially comprise information on selectivity, sensitivity, detection limits, accuracy, and reliability. However, applying official validation or robustness studies to a routine method or technique does not necessarily constitute novelty. Proper statistical treatment of the data should be provided. Relevant literature should be cited, including related publications by the authors, and authors should discuss how their proposed methodology compares with previously reported methods.
