We successfully designed and prepared a g-C₃N₄-ZnS-DNA nanocomposite by a simple method and systematically investigated its morphology, microstructure, and electrocatalytic properties. The as-prepared g-C₃N₄-ZnS-DNA nanocomposite possessed the electrocatalytic activity of g-C₃N₄-ZnS and the conductivity of DNA. The presence of DNA was found to enhance the electrocatalytic response of the nanocomposite towards environmental hormones, e.g. pentachlorophenol and nonylphenol, owing to the interaction between g-C₃N₄-ZnS and DNA, indicating that a stable nanocomposite was formed. The three components showed synergistic effects during electrocatalysis. Electrochemical impedance spectra indicated that the g-C₃N₄-ZnS-DNA nanocomposite dramatically facilitated the electron transfer of a modified electrode. The co-doping of g-C₃N₄ film with ZnS and DNA doubled the electrochemical response of the modified electrode in comparison with that of unmodified g-C₃N₄ film. The detection limits (3 S/N) of pentachlorophenol and nonylphenol were 3.3×10^-9 mol L^-1. Meanwhile, we propose a possible Z-scheme mechanism for electron transfer in the g-C₃N₄-ZnS-DNA nanocomposite and the possible pentachlorophenol and nonylphenol electrocatalytic oxidation mechanism. The g-C₃N₄-ZnS-DNA nanocomposite-modified electrode was demonstrated to be effective for electrochemical sensing of trace environmental hormones in water samples.
