Abstract
Monodispersed PEG-coated ZnS (P-ZnS) nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by facile microwave process and utilized as efficient electron mediators for the fabrication of highly sensitive hydrazine chemical sensor. The detailed morphological and structural properties revealed the monodispersity and good crystallinity for synthesized P-ZnS NPs. A high-sensitivity of â¼89.3 μA cmâ2 μM and low limit of detection of 1.07 μM, based on S/N ratio, were obtained for the fabrication of hydrazine chemical sensor based on P-ZnS NPs. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report which demonstrates the utilization of P-ZnS NPs for the fabrication of efficient hydrazine chemical sensor. By this work, it could be concluded that simply synthesized ZnS NPs can be used as efficient electron mediators for the fabrication of effective hydrazine chemical sensors.
