Abstract
An organoclay/copper-based metal-organic framework (MOF) composite was synthesized using a solvothermal method by growing a Cu-BTC (copper(ii) benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate) MOF from a mixture of the MOF precursor solution in which various amounts of organoclay had been dispersed. The organoclay was obtained by intercalating a cationic dye, namely thionin, into a natural Cameroonian clay sampled in Sagba deposit (North West of Cameroon). The organoclay and the as-synthesized composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Brunauer, Emmett and Teller (BET) techniques. From Scherrer's equation, the crystallite size of the composite was found to be between 55 and 58 nm, twice as large as the pristine MOF's crystallite size. The organoclay/Cu-MOF composite (Sa-TN50/Cu3(BTC)2) exhibiting a BET surface area of 192 m2 g−1, about twice that of pristine clay and about one seventh that of pristine MOF, was then utilized to form a stable thin film onto glassy carbon electrodes (GCE) by drop coating (Sa-TN50/Cu3(BTC)2/GCE). These electrodes demonstrated electrocatalytic behavior toward deoxyepinephrine (DXEP) and thus enabled selective and simultaneous sensitive detection of three analytes: DXEP, acetaminophen (AC) and tyrosine (TYR) compared with bare GCE and clay modified electrode. Under optimum conditions, Sa-TN50/Cu3(BTC)2/GCE exhibited good performance including large calibration curves ranging from 5.0 μM to 138.0 μM for DXEP, 4.0 μM to 153.0 μM for AC and 1.0 μM to 29.4 μM for TYR. The detection limits were found to be, 0.4 μM, 0.7 μM and 0.2 μM for DXEP, AC and TYR, respectively. The developed sensors have been applied successfully in the quantification of AC in a commercial tablet of AC, and DXEP, AC and TYR in tap water.
