A flower-like S, N-codoped carbon nanosheets with hybrid magnetic nanoparticles derived from MOFs for the construction of disposable nitrofurazone sensor

A flower-like S, N-codoped carbon nanosheets loaded with hybrid magnetic nanoparticles (HMNPs/S,N-CNSs) by using MOF as precursor was prepared. The morphology, composition, microstructure, and property were evaluated by SEM, HRTEM, EDS, XRD, XPS, magnetic analysis, and cyclic voltammetry. The hybrid nanoparticles were composed of most Fe 3 O 4 , some CoFe alloy, and a few Fe 2 S. The magnetic material showed high magnetism and brilliant electrocatalysis towards the electrochemical reduction of antibiotic nitrofurazone (NFZ). By utilizing screen-printed electrode (SPE) and HMNPs/S,N-CNSs, a disposable electrochemical NFZ sensor (HMNPs/S,N-CNSs/SPE) was fabricated by magnetic control. The current signal of NFZ at HMNPs/S,N-CNSs was 6.38 times higher than that of bare SPE. It displayed a wide detection range of 0.01–50 μM with a detection limit of 4.2 nM (S/N = 3). The practical applicability of the sensor in real samples presented satisfactory results. The disposability, low cost, high sensitivity, low consumption volume in analyses, and good selectivity make the proposed sensor a promising tool for NFZ detection.
