Abstract

AbstractA promising nitrite sensor based on one‐dimensional polyoxometalate hybrid nanofibers was prepared and developed by electrospinning of a mixture of poly(vinyl alcohol) and α‐K6[P2W18O62]⋅14H2O (P2W18) onto the surface of an indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode. After thermal crosslinking, the P2W18 hybrid nanofibers are insoluble in aqueous solutions even after a period of 24 hours, which ensures the electrochemical stability of the P2W18 hybrid nanofiber‐modified ITO electrode. The cyclic voltammetry results have demonstrated that the P2W18 hybrid nanofiber‐modified ITO electrode exhibits excellent electrocatalytic activity toward the reduction of nitrite in acidic solutions. Additionally, long‐term stability and reproducibility have been observed.
