Enticing 3D peony-like ZnGa_2O_4 microstructures for electrochemical detection of N, N-dimethylmethanamide chemical

摘要

We demonstrate the hydrothermal synthesis of three dimension (3D) peony-like morphology of zinc gallate (ZnGa2O4), dominated by assembled nanosheets and applied as electrode material in electrochemical detection of N,N-dimethylmethanamide chemical. The crystalline, structural and compositional characterizations deduced the formation of high quality ZnGa2O4 with spinal crystal structure. Peony-like 3D ZnGa2O4 was benefited by a high surface area of similar to 62.3 m(2) g(-1), good pore distribution (mean pore diameter of similar to 23.3 nm) and large pore volume of similar to 0.3622 cm(3) g(-1). N,N-dimethylmethanamide chemical sensor based on peony-like 3D ZnGa2O4 electrode presented a linear curve in the working dynamic range of 1 nM 10 mM. Significantly improved chemical sensitivity of similar to 154.2 mA mM(-1) cm(-2) with low detection limit value of similar to 0.14 mu M were achieved. The fabricated sensor based on peony-like 3D ZnGa2O4 electrode endorsed real sample analysis and ascertained the selectivity towards N,N-dimethylmethanamide chemical by analyzing a range of interfering analytes, viz. ethanol, tetrahydrofuran, methyl amine chemical.
