Designing hollow spheres (HS) structures with uniformly dispersed SiOx and surface attributes is of great interest in catalysis and energy storage applications. This study presents an ultrafast molecular polymerization strategy to fabricate uniformly dispersed SiOx/C-HS for electrocatalysis. The obtained SiOx/C-GA modified electrode shows excellent electrochemical performance for azathioprine detection, with low detection limit, high sensitivity, and good repeatability.
Designing hollow spheres (HS) structures of polymer materials with uniformly dispersed SiOx and surface attributes is currently attracting much attention due to their vital roles in catalysis and energy storage applications. Instances of their compilation exist, but such morphological scaffolds require easy yet versatile conceptual approaches. Despite the easy yet controllable assembly of uniformly adorned SiOx and carbon HS (C-HS), producing copious voids simultaneously through a one-step reaction still remains a major challenge. In this study, an ultrafast additive and template-free molecular polymerization strategy were designed to fabricate uniformly dispersed SiOx/C-HS for electrocatalysis. Dualaldehydes and (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) were judiciously designed as C and silicon precursors to yield the polymer HS (P-HS) via a simple one-step aldimine condensation. Two different P-HS morphologies were obtained utilizing glyoxal (GL) and glutaraldehyde (GA) as the cross-linkers, proving the great tunability of the methodology. Prominently, in situ carbonization of the P-HS guarantees the uniform integration of SiOx in C-HS at a nanoscale range. As an example of the application of the synthesized P-HS and SiOx/C-HS, the electrochemical performance for azathioprine (AZP) detection was tested. Benefiting from high conductivity, large surface area, and fast electron transfer due to the welldispersed SiOx in the C-HS substrate surface, the resultant SiOx/C-GA modified electrode showed a low limit of detection (2.26 nM), high sensitivity (4.26 mA mM(-1)cm(-2)) and good repeatability and reproducibility for AZP detection. Detection was also validated in actual samples. The strategy adopted, not only implements Si-based C-HS composites as efficient and scalable electrode materials but also paves the way toward a new platform for the synthesis of additive and template-free HS.
