摘要

A simple, fast, and cost-effective colorimetric nitrite (NO2) sensor based on ZIF-67-derived Co3O4 nanocomposite (ZCo-2 NC) structure has been developed. The prepared colorimetric sensor (ZCo-2 NC) was employed to sensitively detect NO2 in drinking water system by the exhibition of promising peroxidase-mimicking nanozyme-like features. The sensor manifest well-determined sensing response with excellent linear and wide range of NO2 sensitivity (0.001–0.810 μM). The lower detection-limit (LOD) and lower quantification-limit (LOQ) were 0.14 ± 0.05 nM and 0.72 ± 0.05 nM, respectively, which is far below the US-EPA limit (21.7 μM). Further, the sensor also provides strong selectivity response to NO2, better reversibility (12 cycles), and commendable stability of 10 weeks. In addition, it also perceived astonishing practicality towards NO2 in real water samples. Thus, this study opens a new pathway for the sensitive detection of NO2 in drinking water for future endeavor.
