Abstract
Herein, the synthesis of novel non-aggregated spinel nickel ferrite, NiFe2O4 nanosheets (NiFe2O4 NSs) and its application towards the selective electrocatalytic reduction of hydrogen peroxide are described. Initially, NiFe2O4 NSs is synthesized by one-step hydrothermal approach, and numerous characterizations deliberately explain the compound's composition and structure. Finally, the NiFe2O4 NSs underwent direct non-enzymatic electrochemistry and succeeded, it as mimicking Horseradish Peroxidase properties. The significance of non-aggregated NiFe2O4 NSs together with good electrocatalytic properties leads the material to the platform for electrochemical sensors. Moreover, NiFe2O4 NSs is fabricated and validated as an enzyme-free biosensor for the sensitive detection of H2O2. The demonstrated sensor revealed excellent detection of H2O2 with the pico-molar detection limit (12.4 pM), and also it offered good analytical parameters with more extensive linear range and higher sensitivity. Likewise, the non-enzymatic biosensor annexes good durability, reproducibility, and selectivity towards the determination of H2O2. Due to the nourishing capacity of the prepared NiFe2O4 NSs, it is employed for the enzyme-free detection of H2O2 in human blood and rat brain serum samples.
