Abstract:
Rapid and efficient detection of dopamine is crucial for disease prevention and clinical diagnosis. Herein, ZnCoP nanopolyhedra synthesized via a metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived phosphidation route are employed as an electrocatalyst for electrochemical dopamine sensing. The constructed sensor exhibits outstanding analytical performance, featuring a wide linear range (0.5-1500 μM), high sensitivity (1038 μA mM-1 cm-2), and a low detection limit of 0.19 μM. Additionally, the sensor demonstrates excellent selectivity, long-term stability, and reliable repeatability. The superior performance is attributed to the well-defined polyhedral architecture inherited from the MOF precursor, which offers abundant electroactive sites and facilitates efficient electron transfer. These results establish ZnCoP nanopolyhedra as a promising sensing platform for dopamine detection, with strong potential for applications in medical diagnostics and bioanalytical monitoring.
