In this study, plasmonic MoO3-x colloidal nanosheets with a deep blue color were fabricated using a simple anodic oxidation method and examined for colorimetric sensing of hydrogen peroxide. The concentration of hydrogen peroxide was found to weaken the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) and the blue color of the colloids in a sigmoidal sensing behavior. The impact of anodizing potential and time on sensing performance was investigated, and a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.2-0.9 mu M was achieved. The study also demonstrated the immobilization of MoO3-x nanosheets on felt fibers for colorimetric assay, enabling naked eye detection of hydrogen peroxide in a concentration range of 800 mu m to 100 mM. Overall, this research provides a facile approach to detect hydrogen peroxide at the human-positive diabetes level and has significant implications for the development of hydrogen peroxide sensors.
Hydrogen peroxide sensing is crucial for various medical diagnostics and industrial monitoring. On the other hand, doped metal oxides have recently emerged as cost-effective materials with localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) for colorimetric sensing of hydrogen peroxide. In this paper, using a simple anodic oxidation method, plasmonic MoO3-x colloidal nanosheets with deep blue color were fabricated and examined for the colorimetric sensing of hydrogen peroxide. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed the presence of a considerable level of oxygen vacancy in the nanosheets composition. Depending on its concentration, hydrogen peroxide weakens the LSPR and the blue color of colloids with a sigmoidal sensing behavior. The impact of anodizing potential (10, 20, and 30 V) and time on a sensing performance was investigated and a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 0.2-0.9 mu M was obtained. Furthermore, it was found that the LSPR undergoes redshift and the optical bandgap increases in a sigmoidal manner with analyte concentration that was explained by the existing theory on plasmonic semiconductors. To make a colorimetric assay, we immobilized MoO3-x nanosheets on felt fibers, which was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) images. The assay was examined to detect hydrogen peroxide by the naked eye in the concentration range of 800 mu m to 100 mM and was analyzed using digital image analysis. Overall, our study develops a facile approach to produce MoO3-x nanosheets to detect hydrogen peroxide at the human-positive diabetes level (2.8-5.6 mM). (C) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
