Development of 1D nanostructures with novel morphology is a recent scientific attraction, so to say yielding unusual materials for advanced applications. In this work, we have prepared solution grown, single-pot 1D ZnWO4 nanowires (NWs) and the morphology is assessed for label-free but selective detection of chloramphenicol. This is the first report where, such structures are being investigated for this purpose. Transmission electron microscopy shows the presence of strands of ZnWO4 of about 20 nm in diameter. The formed NWs were highly dispersed in nature with uniform size and shape. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed high purity of the designed NWs despite solution synthesis. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed surface valence state of ZnWO4. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was employed for the ascription of functional groups, whereas, optical properties were investigated using photoluminescence. NWs were employed for the detection of a model antibiotic, chloramphenicol. The developed sensor exhibited excellent limit of detection, 0.32 mu M and 100% specificity as compared to its structural and functional analogues such as thiamphenicol and clindamycin. This work can broaden new opportunities for the researchers to explore unconventional nanomaterials bearing unique morphologies and quantum phenomenon for the label-free detection of other bioanalytes.
