Abstract
This work described the fabrication of a gold nanoparticles/single-walled carbon nanotubes/glassy carbon electrode containing mono-6-thio-β-cyclodextrin (SH-β-CD) self-assembled monolayer (SH-β-CD/AuNPs/SWCNTs/GCE) and its application for electrochemical determination of methyl parathion (MP) pesticide in solution using square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWV) method. The SH-β-CD/AuNPs/SWCNTs nanohybrids had a three-dimensional porous nanostructure with large active surface area, and the SH-β-CD monolayer on AuNPs/SWCNTs surface could greatly enhance the sensitivity and selectivity in detecting MP pesticides. The SWV response of the MP on the SH-β-CD/AuNPs/SWCNTs/GCE was ca. 3.9 and 5.1 times that of MP on the SH-β-CD/AuNPs/GCE and AuNPs/SWCNTs/GCE, respectively. The sensor demonstrated a wide linear response range from 2.0–80.0nM, with a lower detection limit of 0.1nM (S/N=3) using 180s of preconcentration time. The interference experiments showed that other aromatic insecticide, such as, chlorpyrifos, 2,4-dDichlorophenoxy acetic acid, methamidophos, triazophos, parathion had little influence on the MP signal. The proposed sensor was further employed for detection of MP in the real environmental water sample.
