Abstract

Acetamiprid is a kind of broad-spectrum pesticides that has been largely applied in agriculture and household pest control. In this paper, a simple, novel and highly sensitive electrochemiluminescence aptamer sensor (ECL aptasensor) based on Ag3PO4-NH2-SnO2 was proposed. The ECL signal was greatly amplified with the synergistic effect of Ag3PO4 and NH2-SnO2 (Ag3PO4-NH2-SnO2) which was dropped on a glass carbon electrode (GCE) and used as working electrode. We designed an “on–off” ECL sensing strategy for the sensitive and specific detection of acetamiprid. Under the optimal conditions, the linear range of the sensor for acetamiprid detection was 1.0 × 10−11 ∼ 1.0 × 10−5 M, with a detection limit of 2.5 × 10−12 M (S/N = 3). The method showed simple and fast operation, high sensitivity and selectivity, strong anti-interference ability and good stability. More importantly, the developed aptasensor exhibited excellent recognition ability towards residual acetamiprid in actual water samples, which might open promising avenues to develop new ECL systems for biological analysis and environmental water monitoring.
