Research Abstract

In this work, an electrochemical platform was developed for detection of D-pencillamine utilizing highly responsive molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). This platform operates on a ratiometric principle and is constructed on nitrogen-doped porous carbon nanosheets (N-PCNS) derived from zeolite imidazolate frameworks (ZIF-12) in the presence of saturated solution of zinc sulfate. Subsequently, silver nanoparticles (Ag) were introduced onto the surface of N-PCNS/GCE to enhance conductivity and surface area, and serve as a standard signal. The MIP layer was formed on the Ag@N-PCNS/GCE surface through o-phenylenediamine (o-phen) electro-polymerization in the presence of the D-pencillamine (D-PAN) as a template. Detection of D-PAN relies on measuring ID-PAN/IAg response ratio employing differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). This ratio exhibits a linear correlation with the concentration of D-PAN in …
