Abstract

In this work, we study the electrochemical performance of Nb₂CT_x and Nb₄C₃T_x MXenes in the aqueous media and their application as a sensing platform for small biomolecules. Both Nb₂CT_x and Nb₄C₃T_x are electrochemically stable up to an anodic potential of 0.5 V. It was found that Nb₄C₃T_x is more electrochemically active than Nb₂CT_x. Based on this, Nb₄C₃T_x was evaluated for the electrochemical detection of aqueous media solutions containing ascorbic acid, uric acid and dopamine. This work opens the door for the wider application of Nb-based MXenes in aqueous electrochemical sensing applications.
