Abstract
A selective electrode based on molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was developed by the polymerization of methyl methacrylate polymer on a screen-printed electrode for pesticide detection. Cypermethrin is one of the pesticides in the pyrethroid group, which has high toxicity in an organism and humans and causes environmental pollution. Cypermethrin-MIP and non-imprinted polymer films on electrodes were characterized for their surface morphology. The electrochemical analysis of cypermethrin pesticide was measured by amperometry under the potential of −0.23 V versus Ag/AgCl. Decreasing the current was directly proportional to the concentration of cypermethrin in the range of 15.50 ppb–10.00 ppm, and the limit of detection value was calculated to be 15.00 ppb. The proposed modified electrode has high sensitivity of 0.094 μA ppm−1 and effective selective detection of cypermethrin in samples of real vegetable juice. The computational analyses were performed with the density functional theory at M06-2x/6-31 g(d,p), which predicted interaction and study mechanism between the MIP matrix with target pesticides.
