biostudies-literatureUnknown16(3)Alsaeedi HRecently, the active surface modification of glassy carbon electrodes (GCE) has received much attention for the development of electrochemical sensors. Nanomaterials are widely explored as surface-modifying materials. Herein, we have reported the hydrothermal synthesis of molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) and its electro-catalytic properties for the fabrication of a resorcinol sensor. Structural properties such as surface morphology of the prepared MoS₂ was investigated by scanning electron microscopy and phase purity was examined by employing the powder X-ray diffraction technique. The presence of Mo and S elements in the obtained MoS₂ was confirmed by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Finally, the active surface of the glassy carbon electrode was modified with MoS₂. This MoS₂-modified glassy carbon electrode (MGC) was explored as a potential candidate for the determination of resorcinol. The fabricated MGC showed a good sensitivity of 0.79 µA/µMcm² and a detection limit of 1.13 µM for the determination of resorcinol. This fabricated MGC also demonstrated good selectivity, and stability towards the detection of resorcinol.Materials (Basel, Switzerland)1180https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9920819biostudies-literatureHydrothermally Grown MoS₂ as an Efficient Electrode Material for the Fabrication of a Resorcinol Sensor.PMC9920819Alsaeedi HAlsalme AfalseHydrothermally Grown MoS₂ as an Efficient Electrode Material for the Fabrication of a Resorcinol Sensor.Recently, the active surface modification of glassy carbon electrodes (GCE) has received much attention for the development of electrochemical sensors.
