NH2-MIL-125/Ti3C2 composite film as a ultrasensitive photoelectrochemical glucose sensor

In this study, a photoelectrochemical sensor for the detection of glucose was developed by combining the unique properties of NH 2 -MIL-125 and Ti 3 C 2 film. The relationship between the microstructure of the samples and their performance in glucose detection was investigated. Experimental results demonstrated a linear decrease in the differential pulse voltammetry current of the Ti 3 C 2 /NH 2 -MIL-125-3 photoelectrochemical sensor with increasing glucose concentration. Below 200 μM, the relationship between DPV current and glucose concentration was found to be: I (mA) = − 3.86667 × 10 –8 ·c g (μM) + 3.66 × 10 –4 (c g denoted as the concentration of glucose). Above 200 μM, the relationship was: I (mA) = − 4.03049 × 10 –8 ·c g (μM) + 3.68268 × 10 –4 . Density functional theory calculations were in agreement with the experimental data. The Ti 3 C 2 /NH 2 -MIL-125-3 photoelectrochemical sensor demonstrates exceptional glucose detection capability. This technology has the potential to advance the development of MXenes/MOFs-based photoelectrochemical biosensors.
