Abstract:
A novel electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor was constructed for the detection of permethrin by modifying Fe3CuO4-Ru(bpy)32+ and GO-CdS@ZnS on the electrode. Fe3CuO4 was used as a carrier to adsorb more luminous reagent Ru(bpy)32+ to promote luminescence. Meanwhile, it also can be used as a co-reaction promoter to amplify the initial signal of Ru(bpy)32+-tri-n-propylamine (TPrA) system. When GO-CdS@ZnS was introduced into this system, the ECL signal was further enhanced. The porous nature of graphene oxide (GO) was utilized to load a large amount of CdS@ZnS, in which CdS@ZnS acted as the co-reactant to amplify the ECL signal. The amount of permethrin (PMT) increased and the ECL signal decreased. Under the optimum conditions, the ECL response was linearly related to the logarithm of PMT concentration. The developed ECL sensor allowed for sensitive determination of PMT and exhibited a wide linear range from 1.0 × 10-11 mol L-1 to 1.0 × 10-7 mol L-1. The limit of detection was 3.3 × 10-12 mol L-1 (S/N = 3). It can be used for the detection of PMT in vegetable samples.
