Ascorbic acid (AA) is a vital biomarker for human metabolic processes, and many diseases are strongly linked to aberrant variations in its content. It is crucial to detect the levels of AA with sensitivity, speed, and accuracy. In this work, three-dimensional honeycomb-like porous carbons derived from discarded walnut (green) husks (DWGH-HCPCs) were synthesized using a process involving hydrothermal treatment, freeze-drying, and carbonization. The DWGH-HCPCs, with a high specific surface area of 419.72 m2 g&minus:1, large pore volume of 0.35 cm3 g&minus:1 and high density of defective sites, are used to fabricate the electrochemical sensor for the detection of AA. The electrochemical performance of the DWGH-HCPC-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) (DWGH-HCPC/GCE) was investigated through chronoamperometry, differential pulse voltammetry, and cyclic voltammetry. Compared with the GCE, the DWGH-HCPC/GCE exhibits higher sensitivities (34.7 &mu:A mM&minus:1 and 22.7 &mu:A mM&minus:1), a wider linear range (10&ndash:1040 &mu:M and 1040&ndash:3380 &mu:M), and a lower detection limit (0.26 &mu:M) for AA detection. Specifically, the real sample concentrations of AA in beverages and artificial urine were successfully identified by DWGH-HCPC/GCE. Additionally, the DWGH-HCPC/GCE demonstrated great feasibility in the simultaneous detection of AA, dopamine (DA), and uric acid (UA). Therefore, as a green, eco-friendly, and low-cost electrode modifier, DWGH-HCPCs have broad prospects in the development of electrochemical sensing platforms for food and medical applications.
