Fast and In-Depth Reconstruction of Two-Dimension Cobalt-Based Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework in Glucose Oxidation Processes

Currently, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as viable candidates for enduring electrode materials in nonenzyme glucose sensing. However, given the inherent water susceptibility of MOFs and their complete self-reconstruction during the process of electrochemical oxygen evolution in alkaline conditions, we are motivated to explore the truth of MOFs catalyzing glucose oxidation. In this work, we fabricated a two-dimensional cobalt-based zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-L) as the electrode material for catalyzing glucose oxidation in alkaline conditions. Our explorations revealed that while the initial glucose catalytic response varied among ZIF-L samples with differing thicknesses, the ultimate steady-state catalytic performance remained largely consistent. This phenomenon arose from the transformation of ZIF-L with distinct thicknesses into CoOOH with uniform morphological and structural characteristics during the glucose catalysis process. And in situ Raman spectroscopy elucidated the sustained equilibrium within the glucose catalytic system, wherein the dynamic interconversion between CoOOH and Co(OH)2 governs the overall process. This study contributes to an enhanced understanding of the glucose catalytic mechanism aspects of nonenzymatic glucose sensor electrode materials, offering insights that serve as inspiration for the development of advanced glucose electrode materials
