▎ 摘 要
In our work, a NiCo2O4/nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide/ionic liquid (NiCo2O4/N-rGO/IL) nano-composite was prepared using hydrothermal treatment and calcination followed by a facile reaction with stirring. The composite material was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), FTIR spectra and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The biosensing properties of NiCo2O4/N-rGO/IL, NiCo2O4/N-rGO and NiCo2O4 towards glucose were studied based on a glassy carbon electrode. The NiCo2O4/N-rGO/IL nanocomposite exhibits excellent electrocatalytic activity towards glucose, with a sensitivity of 3.76 mA mM(-1) cm(-2) and a good linear response from 0.001 mM to 4.555 mM at a potential of +0.5 V. The limit of detection can reach 0.18 mu M. It also shows significant electrochemical sensitivity, reproducibility and long-term stability. The good electrocatalytic activity is attributed to the synergistic effect of the metal oxides, graphene oxide and the IL. The N-doping of rGO accelerates the electron transfer of the IL further and enhances its electrochemical properties. In addition, the sensor is effectively applied to the determination of glucose in a human blood serum sample.
