The electrochemical method for highly sensitive determination of arsenic(III) in real water samples with noble-metal-free nanomaterials is still a difficult but significant task. Here, an electrochemical sensor driven by noble-metal-free layered porous Fe3O4/Co3S4 nanosheets was successfully employed for As(III) analysis, which was prepared via a facile two-step method involves a hydrothermal treatment and a subsequent sulfurization process. As expected, the electrochemical detection of As(III) in 0.1 M HAc-NaAc (pH 6.0) by square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV) with a considerable sensitivity of 4.359 mu A/mu g.L-1 was obtained, which is better than the commonly used noble metals modified electrodes. Experimental and characterization results elucidate the enhancement of As(III) electrochemical performance could be attributed to its nano-porous structure, the presence of oxygen vacancies and strong synergetic coupling effects between Fe3O4 and Co3S4 species. Besides, the Fe3O4/Co3S4 modified screen printed carbon electrode (Fe3O4/Co3S4-SPCE) shows remarkable stability and repeatability, valuable anti-interference ability and could be used for detection in real water samples. Consequently, the results confirm that as-prepared porous Fe3O4/Co3S4 nanosheets is identified as a promising modifier to detect As(III) in real sample analysis. (C) 2021 Elsevier B.V.
