摘要

FDU-15 is a hexagonal mesoporous material with nanometer-sized, highly ordered arrays and large special surface area. In this work, FDU-15-Pt with 2.0%, 5.0% and 8.0% Pt loading were synthesised and used for electrochemical detection of trace nitroaromatic compounds (NACs). The FDU-15-Pt samples were characterised by CO Chemisorption, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). It has been demonstrated that FDU-15-Pt with 2.0% Pt loading has the smallest Pt particle size of 2.9 nm, highest Pt metal dispersion of 37.7% and largest Pt metal surface area of 21.36 m(2) g(-1). The FDU-15-Pt/PDDA modified electrode were assembled by electrostatic adsorption of Poly (diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA) and FDU-15-Pt. The 2.0% FDU-15-Pt modified sensor showed higher selectivity for NACs than those of 5.0% and 8.0% FDU-15-Pt, which were verified by electrochemical experiments. A linear response over TNT concentration ranging from 8.8 x 10(-9) M to 1.2 x 10(-5) M was exhibited with a low detection limit of 2.9 x 10(-9) M(S/N=3). Moreover, the proposed 2.0% FDU-15-Pt/PDDA modified sensor has been applied to the detection of NACs in spiked environmental water samples and shows promise for fast and accurate determination of trace NACs in real samples.
