Abstract

We report a facile solvothermal method to prepare troilite FeS two-dimensional nanoflakes. The morphology and size were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), the intrinsic crystallography of the obtained FeS nanoflakes was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and high-resolution TEM, and the composition was analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Furthermore, the prepared FeS nanoflakes were successfully modified on an electrode to fabricate a sensor for Hg2+ detection. The electrochemical detection mechanism was expected that Hg2+ ions interact with FeS to form stable HgS in the nanoflakes, which provided a sensitive approach for electrochemical detection of Hg2+ selectively. The detection limit for Hg2+ was 4 nM in a PBS solution. The prepared sensor based on the FeS nanoflakes shows the better performance than that with bulk-FeS materials for the Hg2+ detection. The proposed FeS nanoflakes also exhibit good applicability for monitoring Hg2+ in real water specimens.
