Abstract

AbstractA simple and sensitive amperometric method for the detection of glyphosate based on a porous copper nanowire electrode is presented. The porous nanowires were fabricated simply by a one-step electrodeposition using hydrogen bubbles generated during the deposition to produce pores. These porous nanowires provided a 1.4 times larger surface area than a porous copper film. After the fabrication process the porous copper nanowires can be applied directly as a working electrode with the same custom-built flow cell. The detection was carried out by measuring the oxidation signal of copper; this increased with the concentration of glyphosate due to dissolution of the copper from the electrode. Under optimal conditions, the responses of the sensor were linear between 0.010-5.0 μmol L
