Abstract:
A portable smartphone-based electrochemical device was successfully developed with the sensitive UiO-66@polydopamine (PDA) modified screen-printed electrode (SPE), exhibiting the sensing performance of a low detection limit (0.004 μM) and a wide linear range (0.073-18.2 μM). The device provides excellent reproducibility, stability, and resistance to interference. Further studies have demonstrated that the lower LOD of the UiO-66@PDAmodified SPE compared with the bare SPE is mainly attributed to the strong adsorption of Mn2+ on the UiO-66@PDA surface. In addition, our equipment has been found to be around 90% accurate in detecting manganese (Mn2+) in various water sources. These include manganese slag leachate, surface water and groundwater collected at varying distances from the mining area, as well as drinking water in nearby urban areas. This electrochemical device with UiO-66@PDA modified SPE is validated to hold great practical potential for rapid and inexpensive detection of Mn levels, making it particularly valuable for the frequent monitoring of water environment near manganese mines.
