Abstract A core-shell ZIF-8@ZIF-67 was synthesized and pyrolyzed to get a Co nanoparticles-embedded N-doped carbon nanotube hollow polyhedron (Co@NCNHP). Then Au nanoparticles were formed on the surface and core of Co@NCNHP to obtain an Au-Co bimetal decorated NCNHP (Au-Co@NCNHP). The resultant nanocomposite was characterized by various methods including transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The Au-Co@NCNHP-based electrochemical sensor displayed an obviously high electrocatalytic response to the oxidation of quercetin, which was attributed to the synergistic effects of Au-Co bimetal nanoparticles and N-doped carbon nanotube with hollow polyhedron. Under the optimal conditions, the oxidation peak currents exhibited a wide linear dynamic range for quercetin concentration from 0.050 to 35.00 μmol/L, and the detection limit was 0.023 ± 0.002 μmol/L (S/N = 3). The analytical applications of the proposed electrochemical sensor were checked by determining the content of quercetin in medical and onion samples with satisfactory results.

Because biological functions are very advantageous for human’s health, sensitive determination of QR is very crucial, especially in natural pharmaceutical chemistry, biochemistry, and clinical medicine. Compared with other analytical methods such as high-performance liqui
