Simultaneous determination of tert-butylhydroquinone, butylated hydroxyanisole and phenol in plant oil by metalloporphyrin-based covalent organic framework electrochemical sensor

In this study, a Zinc porphyrin based covalent organic framework (COF-366-Zn) was synthesized by imine condensation reaction . And the multi-walled carbon nanotubes(MWCNTs) were interspersed on COF-366-Zn to enhance the electron transfer between the material and the electrode surface. The composite material was used to design a COF-366-Zn/MWCNTs/Nafion/GCE sensor. The sensor performance for simultaneous electrochemical detection of antioxidants was investigated. It was found that the COF-366-Zn/MWCNTs/Nafion/GCE sensor could simultaneously detect tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and phenol in actual samples with good detection performance. At the same time, the mutual interference between the three analytes was studied. The detection limits are 0.025 μM, 0.056 μM and 0.051 μM, respectively. In addition, the sensor also exhibits excellent anti-interference performance and storage performance.
