Engineering Co2+/Co3+ redox activity of Ni-mediated porous Co3O4 nanosheets for superior Hg(II) electrochemical sensing: Insight into the effect of valence change cycle and oxygen vacancy on electroanalysis

Shan-Shan Li et al.

Summary: Transition metal oxides (TMOs) have been recognized as promising sensing materials for heavy metal ions (HMIs) detection, mainly due to strong adsorption of HMIs on surface oxygen vacancies (OVs) of TMOs. However, the role of valence change induced redox activity of TMOs in HMIs detection has not received sufficient attention, hindering further development. This study proposes a facile strategy to co-engineer the redox activity and surface OVs of porous Co3O4 nanosheets by Ni doping, achieving enhanced redox activity and adsorption simultaneously. The results demonstrate that the valence change cycle of Co cations plays a more important role in electrochemical detection than the adsorption of Hg(II) on OVs, and Ni-doping facilitates this valence change cycle. This work provides a feasible way to develop TMOs-based sensing materials by synergizing their redox activity and adsorption ability towards HMIs.
