Abstract
Escherichia coli (E. coli) as a pathogenic bacterium may cause food contamination and foodborne diseases, it is desired to develop a facile way such as newly-emerged gas sensing detection of indole biomarker to indirectly monitor E. coli. Here, we report an advanced indole sensing built with polypyrrole encapsulated ferric vanadate nanorods decorated with palladium nanoparticles (Pd@FeVO4-ppy). Experimentally, the Pd@FeVO4-ppy nanocomposites (NCPs) have been synthesized by combined microwave hydrothermal and subsequent doping, which are observed of porous FeVO4 nanorods decorated with Pd and ppy nanoparticles (NPs). Beneficially, the sensor prototypes with Pd@FeVO4-ppy NCPs show selective and stable sensing response to 1-50 ppm indole. Meanwhile, high temperature and humidity dependence of indole sensing have been investigated. Theoretically, the sensing resistance variations of Pd@FeVO4-ppy NCPs is interpreted as the redox reaction between chemisorbed oxygen and indole, the decoration of Pd and ppy NPs increased active oxygen species and electron transfer. Practically, the Pd@FeVO4-ppy NCPs sensor prototype has been simulated for detection of indole and has been communicated with a smartphone, showing the potential in monitoring E. coli.
