Abstract
The synthesis of manganese cobaltate (MnCo2O4) with the hybrid three-dimensional architecture has beendeveloped as an electrocatalyst for the electrochemical sensing of paraoxon-ethyl (PEL). The detailed physicochemical and structural characterization of MnCo2O4 is meticulously examined. The MnCo2O4-modified screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) exhibits good electrocatalytic activity for the reduction of PEL compared with the bare SPCE due to numerous unique properties. By profiting from these advantages, the proposed MnCo2O4/SPCE shows superior sensing performance toward the determination of PEL, including low cathodic peak potential (- 0.64V), wide detection range (0.015-435µM), low limit of detection (0.002µM), high detection sensitivity (2.30 µA µM-1cm-2), excellent selectivity, and good reproducibility. Notably, the electrochemical performance of the MnCo2O4-based electrocatalyst is superior to those previously reported in the literatures. The practical application of the MnCo2O4/SPCE is effectively assessed in the analysis offood and water samples with satisfied recoveries of 96.00-99.35%. The superior performance of the proposed MnCo2O4 electrocatalyst holds considerable potential for future development of electrochemical sensing platforms.
