Abstract
Anelectrocatalytic sensor for hydrazine using copper sulfide-ordered mesoporous carbon (CuS-OMC) isdescribed. A facile solvothermal synthetic strategy was adopted for CuS-OMC and the ordered mesoporous carbon was obtained through nanocasting method. The synthesized CuS-OMC was characterized using microscopic and spectrochemical techniques. CuS-OMC was immobilized on GCE and evaluated for its electrochemical sensing of hydrazine using cyclic voltammetry and amperometry. CuS-OMC modified GCE exhibited better hydrazine sensing at an optimized pH7.4 in terms of oxidation potential and current compared with that of GCE, CuS, and OMC. The observed sensing performance of CuS-OMC was attributed to the presence of Cu (I/II) in CuS dispersed in OMC which acts as an electrocatalytic center for the sensing of hydrazine. Amperometry under optimized experimental condition with an applied potential of 270mV was employed to obtain a linear calibration plot in the range 0.25 to 40μM (R2 = 0.9908) with a detection limit of 0.10μM with a sensitivity of 0.915 (± 0.02) μA cm-2μM-1. Real sample analyses were carried out by spiking of hydrazine in differentwater samples and the recoveries were in the range of 97 ± 2.1% (n = 3). Graphical abstract.
