Abstract
Herein, a novel electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor was developed using a dual signal amplification mechanism based on a typical HKUST-1 metal-organic framework, [Cu3(BTC)2(H2O)3, BTC=1,3,5-benzene tricarboxylate], CdS quantum dots (QDs) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) for ultrasensitive determination of catechol. HKUST-1 not only has a dispersion effect to carry more CdS QDs for enhancing stability, but also acts as effective catalyzer to accelerate the transformation of persulfate ion (S2O8
2−) for generating more sulfate radical anions (SO4
•−), therefore amplifying the signal of the ECL sensor. Meanwhile, the introduction of MWCNTs to the ECL process could promote the electron transfer rate and accelerate the kinetics of the electro-catalytic reaction attributing to its stronger conductivity, achieving dual-amplifying effect, which could obviously increase the sensitivity of the ECL sensor. The proposed sensor displayed a wide linear range of 1 × 10−7 − 1 × 10−3 M and a low detection limit of 3.8 × 10−8 M with excellent stability, high repeatability and outstanding anti-interference ability under the optimal conditions. Impressively, the sensor possessed commendable feedback when detecting catechol in real samples. Therefore, this research provided a new strategy combining the advantages of MOFs, QDs and MWCNTs materials for phenolic pollutants detection.
