MOF-derived porous nanostructured Ni2P/C material with highly sensitive electrochemical sensor for uric acid

Schematic illustration of the synthesis of nanostructured Ni2P/C and as modified electrode material for detection of uric acid using a straightforward strategy utilizing the adsorption properties of MOFs, nanostructured Ni2P/C was successfully synthesized and studied as electrode modification material of electrochemical sensor for detection UA. The modified glassy carbon electrode showed a high stability, low detection limit and good sensitivity for the detection of UA concentration due to porous hollow interior structure, ultrasmall and monodispersed Ni2P nanoparticles, compliant conductive carbon matrix, and strong phosphorus/carbon interfacial coupling and provided a new method for the determination and research of UA.
