A novel synthesis of non-aggregated spinel nickel ferrite nanosheets for developing non-enzymatic reactive oxygen species sensor in biological samples
Herein, the synthesis of novel non-aggregated spinel nickel ferrite, NiFe2O4 nanosheets (NiFe2O4 NSs) and its application towards the selective electrocatalytic reduction of hydrogen peroxide are described. Initially, NiFe2O4 NSs is synthesized by one-step hydrothermal approach, and numerous characterizations deliberately explain the compound's composition and structure. Finally, the NiFe2O4 NSs underwent direct non-enzymatic electrochemistry and succeeded, it as mimicking Horseradish Peroxidase properties. The significance of non aggregated NiFe2O4 NSs together with good electrocatalytic properties leads the material to the platform for electrochemical sensors. Moreover, NiFe2O4 NSs is fabricated and validated as an enzyme-free biosensor for the sensitive detection of H2O2. The demonstrated sensor revealed excellent detection of H2O2 with the pico-molar detection limit (12.4 pM), and also it offered good analytical parameters with more extensive linear range and higher sensitivity, Likewise, the non-enzymatic biosensor annexes good durability, reproducibility, and selectivity towards the determination of H2O2. Due to the nourishing capacity of the prepared NiFe2O4 NSs, it is employed for the enzyme-free detection of H2O2 in human blood and rat brain serum samples.
