Abstract
Baicalin (Bn), a natural flavonoid compound, possesses high pharmacological effects. Here, an electrochemical sensor has been proposed based on an MIL-101-NH2(Fe)-derived Fe porous carbon composite (Fe-C) doped with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) for detecting Bn, designated as Fe-C/rGO. Fabricated through a straightforward physical doping process, Fe-C/rGO exhibits remarkable electrochemical activity. This superiority stems primarily from two key factors. Firstly, the porous structure of Fe-C efficiently concentrates Bn, facilitating its capture and recognition. Secondly, graphene oxide, serving as a substrate for anchoring metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), boosts the electrochemical performance of the composite due to its distinctive two-dimensional structure, abundant active sites, and unparalleled stability. The synergistic interaction between Fe-C and rGO maximizes their respective advantages, leading to a significant enhancement in the sensitivity and selectivity of the electrochemical sensor. Boasting a low detection limit of 7.5 nM and a broad detection range spanning from 30 to 180 nM, this sensor holds immense potential in clinical applications and drug monitoring, offering a reliable and efficient method for Bn detection.
