A novel, eco-friendly multi-walled carbon nanotubes functionalized copper metal-organic framework for ultrasensitive potentiometric detection of cadmium ions
2021
Abstract Designing a simple and on-site detection technique for Cd2+ is highly demanding. In the current study, an electrochemical sensor based on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and copper metal-organic framework (Cu-MOF) was synthesized via one-pot hydrothermal reaction for the rapid and economical monitoring of the Cd2+ level. The structure, morphology and physical properties of prepared CNT-Cu-MOF were characterized by different physicochemical techniques. The surface of the glassy carbon electrode was modified with CNT-Cu-MOF to detect Cd2+ in 01 M phosphate Buffer. The detection limit was found to be 0.275 nM (S/N = 3), with linear calibration curves ranging from 0.2 to 10 μM. Furthermore, the developed electrochemical sensor demonstrated excellent selectivity, stability, and repeatability. The recovery of the CNT-Cu-MOF is found to be 100.4% in a real-time sample of tap-water. The well-designed sensor employs a promising approach for on-site monitoring of Cd2+ in tap water.
