Summary
This study presents a novel paper-based sensor for detecting organophosphate pesticides (OPs). The sensor utilizes a bioenzyme-nanozyme system for sensitive and portable detection of pesticide residues.
Area of Science:
- Environmental Science
- Analytical Chemistry
- Biotechnology
Background:
- Organophosphate pesticides (OPs) pose significant risks to human health and the environment due to improper usage and residue.
- Current detection methods often lack the simplicity, portability, and sensitivity required for widespread application.
- There is a critical need for advanced sensing technologies to monitor OPs effectively.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a simple, portable, and sensitive all-in-one paper-based sensor for organophosphate pesticide detection.
- To integrate bioenzyme and nanozyme components for enhanced catalytic efficiency in pesticide sensing.
- To establish a reliable method for on-site detection of pesticide residues in food samples.
Main Methods:
- Synthesis of a Ce/Zr-MOF@FP (cerium/zirconium-metal-organic framework on filter paper) with peroxidase-like activity.
