Abstract

It’s very essential to exploit a portable wireless integrated sensing platform for field simultaneous, on-site detection of heavy metal ions pollution that has been exhibited to Serious ecological and health risks even under trace levels, including Cd (II) and Pb (II) ions. In this work, we developed a portable sensing platform, consisting of an integrated screen-printed electrode (SPE) with the calcium/aluminum-layered double hydroxide (CaAl-LDH) nanocomposite based on carboxyl functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-COOH), a hand-held wireless electrochemical potentiostat and a tablet with a specially designed app, for field simultaneous rapid detection of both Cd (II) and Pb (II) in water environmental sample. The CaAl-LDH was produced through a facilely hydrothermal method, and the CaAl-LDH nanocomposite with MWCNTs-COOH was prepared by a one-step ultrasonic route, which demonstrated superior sensing performance for simultaneous determination of both Cd (II) and Pb (II) with a broad detection range (2–250 μg L−1 for Cd (II) and 5–250 μg L−1 Pb (II)) and low limit of detection (LOD) (0.96 μg L−1 Cd (II) and 0.74 μg L−1 for Pb (II)).Furthermore, the proposed tablet-operated portable wireless sensing platform was utilized for detection of both Cd (II) and Pb (II) in farmland irrigation canals with acceptable recoveries.
