Graphitic Carbon Nitride-Wrapped Metal-free PoPD-Based Biosensor for Xanthine Detection.

ABSTRACT: A metal-free, enzymatic biosensor was developed using graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄)-wrapped poly-ortho-phenylenediamine (PoPD) for the determination of xanthine (Xn). Field emission scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction confirmed the successful formation of the PoPD, g-C₃N₄ nanosheets and PoPD@g-C₃N₄ nanocomposite. Furthermore, the electrochemical behavior of the biosensor was characterized by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The prepared enzyme electrode exhibited maximum response at pH 7.5 with a response time of 5 s, and its sensitivity was 5.798 μAM^-1. The nanocomposite shows exceptional sensing capabi
