Nanosensors Made of Halloysite and Kojic Acid Metal Complexes for Dopamine Detection.

ABSTRACT: A nanocomposite sensor has been developed by integrating halloysite nanotubes (HNTs), kojic acid (K), and Cu²⁺ ions (HNTK-Cu), marking a significant advancement in the field of dopamine detection. This cutting-edge sensor leverages the synergistic properties of its components to deliver exceptional analytical performance with promising implications for biomedical diagnostics and food safety monitoring. This innovative sensor exploits the unique properties of halloysite nanotubes and kojic acid to achieve a superior performance. Among its most notable features, the HNTK-Cu sensor exhibits exceptional sensitivity, reaching a limit of detection (LOD) of as low as 68 nM, enabling the accurate quantification of even trace levels of dopamine. Furthermore, it demonstrates remarkable se
