MOFs-Derived Nano-CuO Modified Electrode as a Sensor for Determination of Hydrazine Hydrate in Aqueous Medium.

ABSTRACT: It very important to be able to efficiently detect hydrazine hydrate in an aqueous medium due to its high toxicity. Here, we have proposed a new idea: to construct a sensor for the rapid determination of hydrazine hydrate based on the nano-CuO derived by controlled pyrolysis of HKUST-1 [Cu3(BTC)2(H2O)3]. The as-prepared CuO at 400 °C possesses a uniform appearance with nano-structure via SEM images, and the nano-CuO-400 has exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity towards hydrazine oxidation. Amperometric i-t curves shows the peak current as linearly proportional to the hydrazine concentration within 1.98-169.3 ?mol L-1 and 232-2096 ?mol L-1 with the detection limit of 2.55 × 10-8 mol L-1 and 7.01 × 10-8 mol L-1, respectively. Moreover, the sensor constructed in the experiment shows good selectivities, and it is feasible to determining actual water samples.
