Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) ultrathin nickel-cobalt phosphate nanosheets were synthesized using a simple one-step hydrothermal method. The morphology and structure of nanomaterials synthesized under different Ni/Co ratios were investigated by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Moreover, the influence of nanomaterials' structure on the electrochemical performance for glucose oxidation was investigated. It is found that the thinnest nickel-cobalt phosphate nanosheets synthesized with a Ni/Co ratio of 2:5 showed the best electrocatalytic activity for glucose oxidation. Also, the ultrathin nickel-cobalt phosphate nanosheet was used as an electrode material to construct a nonenzymatic electrochemical glucose sensor. The sensor showed a wide linear range (2-4470 μM) and a low detection limit (0.4 μM) with a high sensitivity of 302.99 μA·mM-1·cm-2. Furthermore, the application of the as-prepared sensor in detection of glucose in human serum was successfully demonstrated. These superior performances prove that ultrathin 2D nickel-cobalt phosphate nanosheets are promising materials in the field of electrochemical sensing.
