Abstract:
Tyrosine (Tyr) is a kind of amino acid that can regulate emotions and stimulate the nervous system, and it is of great importance to realize its ultrasensitive detection. A unique material of graphdiyne chelated AuNPs (GDY@AuNPs) is designed and developed to realize high-performance electrochemical sensing of Tyr. GDY promotes the absorption of Tyr via π-π interaction, and its CC strongly chelates with AuNPs for greatly improved sensitivity. GDY@AuNPs delivers a sensitivity of up to 181.2 μA mM-1 cm-2 and a wide range of 0.1-600 μM, among the best for carbon or AuNPs-based materials for the detection of Tyr. It demonstrates the accurate detection of Tyr in human sweat for potential practical applications.
