Abstract

A new sensitive and selective molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensor was developed for Azorubine determination. This sensor was based on molecularly imprinted polymer composed of poly(1-naphthylamine), triphenylamine (as cross-linkers) and dispersed MnO2 nanorod particles on graphite nanopowders. The structure of the prepared nanocomposite was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Calibration curve of the imprinted sensor was linear in the concentration range 1–12 mg L− 1 with a detection limit of 0.57 mg L− 1. The application of the sensor was checked by the determination of Azorubine in a water sample.
