Hematite (α-FeO) is a promising photoelectrode material for photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensors. However, it still suffers from serious surface charge recombination and slow interfacial charge transfer kinetics. In this work, NiAl-layered double hydroxides decorated on α-FeO (NiAl-LDH/α-FeO) was successfully fabricated via a facile hydrothermal method. The NiAl-LDH/α-FeO exhibits excellent PEC response toward glucose, with a good linear range from 0.01 to 2 mM, a high sensitivity of 274.7 μA·mM·cm and a low detection limit of 0.005 mM. NiAl-LDH/α-FeO PEC sensor could be used for glucose determination in various food samples, such as bread, toast and glucose oral solution, which achieved comparable results with that of HPLC. PEC and electrochemical characterizations indicate NiAl-LDH could act as and/or provide active sites for glucose detection, enlarge the band bending and decrease the charge transfer resistance, thus significantly improve the PEC response of α-FeO toward glucose.

Nickel-based hydroxides [Ni(OH)] have attracted significant attention as effective oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts. In recent years, defect engineering has been extensively utilized in Ni(OH) modification research. Numerous studies have confirmed that the generation of defects can expose more active sites and regulate electronic states, particularly through the introduction of Al cationic vacancies, which enhance conductivity and thereby improve the catalytic performance.

Environmental pollution resulting from the use of pesticides such as fenuron poses significant health risks due to the carcinogenic and teratogenic properties of these compounds. There is an urgent need to develop rapid and cost-effective detection methods for quantifying fenuron. In this study, an inorganic-organic composite material was obtained by intercalating sodium dioctylsulfosuccinate (DSS) within the interlayer space of a nickel-aluminum-layered double hydroxide (NiAl-LDH).
