Effective SWCNTs/Nafion Electrochemical Sensor for Detection of Dicapthon Pesticide in Water and Agricultural Food Samples
Journal Title: Chemical Methodologies - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
In this study, we report an effective electrochemical sensor of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs)/Nafion glassy carbon electrode (SWCNTs/Nafion/GCE) for determination of dicapthon in water and agricultural food samples. The electroanalytical performance of SWCNTs/Nafion/GCE toward the reduction of dicapthon was analyzed via cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry. The optimum parameters like the effect of pH, concentration of dicapthon solution, scan rate, accumulation potential and accumulation time were thoroughly optimized. At electrochemical optimum conditions, voltammetric reduction peak exhibited a linear with the concentration of dicapthon from 0.2‒60.0 µg mL−1, with a detection limit of 0.036 µg mL−1. The modified electrochemical sensor showed good stability and reproducibility. The determination of dicapthon was examined with SWCNTs/Nafion/GCE in water and agricultural food samples.

Preparation of Graphene/Graphene Oxide Microsupercapacitor by Using Laser-Scribed Method
Graphene is a flat layer of carbon atom, and is a layer of graphite with a thickness of a few tenths of a nanometer that, due to its porous structure and high ionic transfer rate, has been considered in electronic applic...
Prediction of the structural and spectral properties and reactivity of the silicon analogs of cyclobutadiene C4-nSinH4 (n=0-4) by density functional theory computations
In recent years, it has been noted that the silicon analogs of compounds have more pharmaceutical applications because of their more lipophilicity properties. The present research paper studies the structural and spectra...
Solvent Free Stereoselective Iodoacetoxylation of Alkenes and Glycals Using N-Iodosuccinimide and Acetic Anhydride
The reactions of glycals with N-iodosuccinimide and acetic anhydride under solvent free conditions provide 2-deoxy-2-iodo-α-mannopyranosyl acetates with good stereoselectivity. The developed process is in accordance with...
