Molecularly Imprinted Electrochemical Sensor Based on SnS2 Nanoflower and Polyethyleneimine Modified Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes for Highly Sensitive and Specific Detection of Diuron
The improper application of pesticides has resulted in significant environmental contamination. Therefore, determining the level of residual contamination in environmental samples is crucial. Herein, a novel molecularly imprinted polymer-based electrochemical (MIP-EC) sensor based on polyethyleneimine-modified carbon nanotubes/tin sulfide (MWCNTs-PEI/SnS 2 ) was developed for the sensitive and selective assay of diuron (DU) in soil samples. The MWCNTs-PEI/SnS 2 was prepared by simply mixing MWCNTs-PEI and SnS 2 nanoflower via ultrasonic dispersion. The as-prepared MWCNTs-PEI/SnS 2 exhibited a large effective surface area, low electron transfer resistance, and superior electrocatalytic activity. Subsequently, a film of MIP was then fabricated in situ on the MWCNTs-PEI/SnS 2 modified glassy carbon electrode surface (MWCNTs-PEI/SnS 2 /GCE) by electropolymerization, using DU as template molecule and o-phenylenediamine (o-PD) as functional monomer. Under the optimal conditions, the developed MIP-EC sensor exhibited two segments of linear relationships in the DU concentrations range of 0.1–2.0 μM (R 2 =0.997), and 2.0–60 μM (R 2 =0.996) with a detection limit of 0.02 μM. Besides, the proposed sensor possessed outstanding analytical performance such as superior selectivity, excellent reproducibility, and great stability. Moreover, the MIP-EC sensor has been successfully applied for DU determination in farm soil and achieved satisfactory recoveries.
