Preparation of Pt nanoparticles embedded on ordered mesoporous carbon hybrids for sensitive detection of acetaminophen

In this work, we report a facile microwave-assisted route to rapidly synthesize Pt species embedded on ordered mesoporous carbon (Pt/OMC) hybrids. During synthesis, positively charged poly-(diallydimethylammonium chloride) was used to wrap OMC and attached Pt species via the intermolecular electrostatic attraction. The formation of the electrocatalysts was tested by characterization (e.g., X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectra, and TEM). Due to the synergetic effects and special structural, Pt/ OMC hybrids can act as an effective and sensitive electrocatalyst for the detection of acetaminophen (AP). It can be anticipated that the successful fabrication of Pt/OMC could provide new opportunities for the preparation of electrochemical sensors for the determination of pharmaceutical products.
