摘要

Using 3-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane(APTES) as a single silica source, an amino-rich ultrafine organosilica-nanoparticle-modified Au electrode was fabricated, following the formation of (3-mercaptopropyl)-trimethoxysilane (MPTS) monolayer on Au surface (MPTS/Au). With cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as an additive, APTES-based gel particles on the electrode have a narrow particle size distribution of 4-7nm and crystal-like structure. AFM and electrochemical characterization confirmed the successful grafting of APTES nanoparticles on MPTS/Au. The APTES/MPTS/Au electrode is highly sensitive for the detection of copper(II) ions with a detection limit as low as 1.6x10(-12)molL(-1) (S/N>3) by square wave voltammetry. The current is linear to copper(II) concentration between 1.6x10(-12) and 6.25x10(-10)molL(-1).
