Abstract
Objective: Uncomplicated, low-cost, highly discerning, and sensitive electrochemically active nanosensors have been synthesized using copper salt as a precursor, surfactants, and structural directing agents. These synthesized CuO Nanoparticles (NPs) were electroactive and EC treatments were also performed by modifying these NPs with graphite powder (CPE) to enhance the electrocatalytic activity, sensitivity.
Material and Method: The characterization of these fabricated nanosensors was done by cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
Result and Discussion: The EC behavior of Organophosphorus (OP) pesticides in the real samples was examined by these fabricated sensors. Parameters such as pH of solution scan rate of the experiment, accumulation time, and potential difference have been optimized in the experiment for trace determination of OP pesticides.
