Abstract:In order to achieve the sensitive detection of nitrite in meat products, this study used nickel foam as the carrier and prepared nickel foam supported Co3O4 composite material by hydrothermal method and high-temperature calcination method, which was used to construct a highly sensitive nitrite electrochemical sensor. The morphology and structure of the prepared nanocomposites were characterized by scanning electron microscope(SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy(HRTEM) and X-ray diffraction(XRD). Meanwhile, cyclic voltammetry(CV) and chronoamperometric titration were used to further study the electrochemical behavior and electrocatalytic mechanism of the modified electrode for rapid detection of NO2- ions. The results showed that the peak current of the sensor exhibited a good linear relationship with NO2- concentration in the range of 5~2 100 μmol/L, with a detection limit of 3.14 μmol/L. Using soy sauce beef as the real sample, the content of nitrite was determined by standard addition method, with a recovery range of 97.9% to 101.2%. The sensor has the advantages of easy preparation, high sensitivity, easy operation, good stability and short detection time. It is suitable for the rapid detection of nitrite in meat products.
