Three-dimensional porous MXene/NiCo-LDH composite for high performance non-enzymatic glucose sensor

摘要

In this paper, Nickel-Cobalt layered double hydroxide (NiCo-LDH) nanosheets were first in situ synthesized on MXene (Ti3C2) via a simple hydrothermal method, then glucose sensing performance based on three-dimensional porous MXene/NiCo-LDH nanocomposite was explored. At a working potential of 0.45 V (vs. SCE), the glucose sensor exhibits a wide linearity range (0.002 mM-4.096 mM), a low limit of detection (0.53 mu M) and a rapid response ( < 3 s). Moreover, good selectivity, reproducibility and stability were also obtained. And the excellent performance can attribute to large area of contact of materials surface with glucose, fast electron transfer rate and easy diffusion of electrolyte provided by the novel 3D porous NiCo-LDH nanosheets on the conducive MXene substrate. Therefore, MXene/NiCo-LDH composites will be a candidate for electrochemical detection of glucose.
