Abstract:
The aim of this work is to fabricate a sensitive and novel enzymeless electrochemical sensor for the simultaneous determination of parathion and paraoxon using the Nd-UiO-66@MWCNT nanocomposite. For this purpose, Neodymium (Nd) was introduced into a Universitetet i Oslo (UiO-66) structure to construct Nd-UiO-66 and then, adding multi-walled carbon nanotubes to the Nd-UiO-66 to increase the electrocatalytic activity and surface area of the obtained composite. The Nd-UiO-66@MWCNT has numerous advantages like excellent conductivity, tunable texture, and large surface area and can be used as a distinctive structure for the construction of modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) to enhance the charge-transfer and the efficiency of electrochemical sensors. This modified electrode showed sensitive and selective determination of paraoxon and parathion over the linear ranges of 0.7-100 and 1-120 nM, with detection limits of 0.04 and 0.07 nM, respectively. The proposed Nd-UiO-66@MWCNT/GCE sensor in this study can be applied in environmental and toxicological laboratories and field tests to detect parathion and paraoxon levels.
