Electrochemical sensing performance of Eu-BTC and Er-BTC frameworks toward Sunset Yellow
Two lanthanide metal-organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs) using 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (H 3 BTC) and Ln(III) nitrate hydrate (Ln = Eu, Er) as precursors have been prepared through a one-step solvothermal approach. The as-synthesized compounds were characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy, confirming that the targeted Ln-MOFs were successfully synthesised, with a straw-sheaf appearance. Their sensing properties were studied using cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy , and the results showed that the prepared Ln-BTCs possessed larger electrochemical-response areas and stronger electron-transport capability, especially the Er-BTC. The oxidation behaviour of Sunset Yellow was investigated, and it was found that the Er-BTC exhibited a superior enhancement effect. Chronocoulometry was used to prove that Er-BTC more strongly adsorbs Sunset Yellow, resulting in a larger electrochemical response signal. The novel Sunset Yellow sensor exhibited a linear response in the range of 0.2–100 nM with a low limit of detection (0.05 nM, S/N = 3), and was applied in drink samples. The results were validated by high-performance liquid chromatography , indicating this sensor is a promising tool for Sunset Yellow detection.
