  • Synthesis of Fe(3)O(4)/SiO(2) core-shell composite microspheres.
  • Molecular imprinting of phenylephrine onto the core-shell microspheres.
  • Characterization of MCSIMs structure and properties.
  • Affinity and selectivity evaluation using Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) and electrochemical measurements.
  • Determination of sensor performance metrics including sensitivity, response time, linear range, and detection limit.

    • Main Results:

    • Successfully synthesized stable and monodisperse MCSIMs with Fe(3)O(4)/SiO(2) core-shell structure.
    • MCSIMs demonstrated high affinity and selectivity for Phen over structurally related molecules (DA, EP, Phe, Tyr) with a binding selectivity ratio of Phen:DA:EP = 40:5:1.
    • The sensor exhibited high sensitivity (400 microA mM(-1)), rapid response (98% within 10 s), a broad linear range (1 microM to 0.1 mM), and a low detection limit (0.1 microM).
    • Control experiments with non-imprinted microspheres showed negligible signal, confirming the imprinting effect.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed MCSIMs provide a stable, monodisperse, and highly selective platform for phenylephrine recognition and separation.
    • The use of superparamagnetic Fe(3)O(4)/SiO(2) microspheres significantly simplifies sample preparation and washing steps.
    • This strategy offers a promising approach for sensitive and efficient detection of phenylephrine in various applications.
