  • Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy (SECM) to analyze the electrode's diffusion layer characteristics.

    • Main Results:

    • A linear relationship was established between the amperometric response current and ACh concentration under optimized conditions.
    • The developed sensor demonstrated a rapid response time of 10 seconds.
    • The influence of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) electrolyte concentration on sensor sensitivity was systematically evaluated.

    Conclusions:

    • The nickel catalytic electrode provides an effective platform for sensitive and rapid amperometric detection of acetylcholine.
    • The sensing mechanism relies on the electrochemical oxidation of choline generated from ACh hydrolysis.
    • This method holds promise for practical applications in ACh quantification.
