Abstract

The synthesis of heterojunction materials is regarded as an efficient way to enhance catalytic activities in various catalytic reactions. However, the existing fabrication approaches often rely on complex multi-step synthesis process. In this work, we fabricate sweater-ball shaped nanostructured MOF/TMS (Ni-MOF/NiS_1.03) heterojunction by one-pot, one-step solvothermal method. According to the results of discrete Fourier transform (DFT) calculations and experiments, the formation of Ni-MOF/NiS_1.03 heterojunction interfaces improves electron transfer and charge redistribution, and increases the adsorption energy of glucose molecules as well, which is conducive to enhance electrochemical activity of electrode materials. The as-prepared Ni-MOF/NiS_1.03 heterojunction exhibit enhanced glucose sensitivity, wide detection range and low detection limit. This study paves the way towards the development of MOF-based heterojunctions for electrochemical applications.
