Abstract

In this study, gold nanoparticles decorated on nickel–iron layered double hydroxide with black phosphorus nanosheets (AuNP/Ni-Fe LDH/BPNSs) composite were prepared using a stirring method. Analyte tracing is required for developing viable sensors. The AuNP/Ni-Fe LDH/BPNSs composite exhibited a large specific surface area, high conductivity, high electrocatalytic activity, and rapid electron transfer. These properties play a vital role in monitoring diphenylamine (DPA) in food samples. The formation of the AuNP/Ni-Fe LDH/BPNSs composite was confirmed using various structural and morphological characterization techniques. The electroanalytical character of the AuNP/Ni-Fe LDH/BPNSs composite was evaluated using voltammetry. Interestingly, the AuNP/Ni-Fe LDH/BPNSs showed a wide linear range of 0.0125–1003.82 μM and a detection limit of 4.63 nM with a sensitivity of 0.399 µA µM−1 cm−2. The constructed sensor shows considerable selectivity, stability, repeatability, and reproducibility, and the practicability of DPA was monitored in the apples, sweet tomatoes, pears, and grapes with satisfactory recoveries.
