Abstract
Afacile and novel electrochemical sensing platform is reportedfor quercetin determination with MoS2 nanoflowers-3D graphene aerogel (3D MoS2-GA) nanocomposite as signal amplified material. The 3D MoS2-GA nanocomposite was synthesized through a two-step hydrothermal method, in which MoS2 nanoflowers were prepared in advance. Characterizations of 3D MoS2-GA were performed by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Ramanspectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The 3D MoS2-GA-modified glassy carbon electrode (3D MoS2-GA/GCE) was used to investigate the electrochemical behaviors of quercetin with electrochemical parameters calculated, reaction mechanism discussed, and experimental conditions optimized. Notably, the redox peak current densities of quercetin on 3D MoS2-GA/GCE raised 5.14 and 6.40 times compared with those on a bareGCE. Furthermore, a novel electroanalytical approach was proposed for the sensitive determination of quercetin within the concentration range 0.01 ~ 5.0μmol/L, accompanied by a low detection limit of 0.0026μmol/L (at a working potential of 0.38V vs. Ag/AgCl). The recovery for practical sampleanalysis ranges from 97.0 to 105%, and the relative standard deviation is less than 4.2%. This established method shows reliable performance in determination of quercetin in tablets and urine samples.
