Carbendazim (CBD) is widely used as a fungicide that acts as a pesticide in farming to prevent crop diseases. However, CBD can remain on crops for a long time. When consumed by humans and animals, it produces a range of toxic symptoms and poses a serious threat to their health. Therefore, the detection of CBD is necessary. Traditional assay strategies for CBD detection, although sensitive and practical, can hardly achieve fast, robust monitoring during food processing and daily life. Here, we designed a novel electrochemical sensor for CBD detection. In this method, iron oxyhydroxide nanomaterial (β-FeOOH) was first prepared by hydrothermal method. Then, a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) layer was electropolymerized on the surface using CBD as the template and resorcinol (RC) as the functional monomer. The synergistic interaction between β-FeOOH and MIP endows the MIP/β-FeOOH/CC-based electrochemical sensor with high specificity and sensitivity. Under optimal conditions, the MIP/β-FeOOH/CC-based sensor showed a wide linear range of 39 pM-80 nM for CBD and a detection limit as low as 25 pM. Therefore, the as-prepared sensor can be a practical and effective tool for pesticide residue detection.
多菌灵(CBD)被广泛用作杀菌剂,在农业中用作农药,以防止作物病虫害。然而,CBD 可能在作物上长时间残留。当人类和动物食用时,会产生一系列有毒症状,对其健康构成严重威胁。因此,需要对 CBD 进行检测。用于 CBD 检测的传统分析策略虽然灵敏且实用,但在食品加工和日常生活中很难实现快速、稳健的监测。在这里,我们设计了一种用于 CBD 检测的新型电化学传感器。在该方法中,首先通过水热法制备了氧化铁纳米材料(β-FeOOH)。然后,以 CBD 为模板、间苯二酚(RC)为功能单体,在表面电聚合分子印迹聚合物(MIP)层。β-FeOOH 和 MIP 之间的协同相互作用赋予了基于 MIP/β-FeOOH/CC 的电化学传感器对 CBD 具有高特异性和灵敏度。在最佳条件下,基于 MIP/β-FeOOH/CC 的传感器对 CBD 的线性范围为 39 pM-80 nM,检测限低至 25 pM。因此,所制备的传感器可以成为一种实用有效的农药残留检测工具。
