A corn-like CeO/C coaxial cable textured by a cerium oxide shell and a carbon core was designed to sense NO. The carbon core possesses high electrical conductivity, and the CeO surface delivers excellent electrocatalytic activity. The sensor, typically operated at 0.8 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), exhibits a detection limit of 1.7 nM, which is 4-times lower than that of CeO nanotubes based one (at S/N = 3). It also displays wide linear response (up to 83 μM), a sensitivity of 0.81 μA μM cm, and fast response (2 s). These values are highly competitive to that of a CeO tube (0.92 μA μM cm and 2 s). The sensor was used to quantify NO that is released by Aspergillus flavus. Graphical abstractSchematic representation of corn-like CeO/C which can more sensitively and effectively detect NO released from A. flavus than when using CeO nanotubes, benefitting from its unique coaxial cable structure.
一种玉米状的 CeO/C 同轴线,由氧化铈外壳和碳芯组成,被设计用来感测 NO。碳芯具有高导电性,而 CeO 表面则具有出色的电催化活性。该传感器通常在 0.8 V(相对于 Ag/AgCl)下工作,其检测限为 1.7 nM,比基于 CeO 纳米管的传感器低 4 倍(在 S/N = 3 时)。它还显示出宽的线性响应(高达 83 μM),灵敏度为 0.81 μA μM cm,响应速度快(2 s)。这些值与 CeO 管(0.92 μA μM cm 和 2 s)相比具有很强的竞争力。该传感器用于量化黄曲霉释放的 NO。示意图玉米状 CeO/C 的示意图,与 CeO 纳米管相比,它可以更敏感和有效地检测到黄曲霉释放的 NO,这得益于其独特的同轴电缆结构。
