MIPs of Diuron Analysis Based on Screen-Printed Carbon Electrode Modification
Abstract:
Pineapple and sugarcane monocultures are prevalent in Thailand, where growers often misuse pesticides and fertilizers during post-harvest soil preparation. The presence of herbicide residues poses a threat to the natural ecosystem and local communities. Diuron, a common herbicide, is frequently detected on pineapple farms. Although qualitative and quantitative tests are conducted to identify diuron, extracting it from contaminated soil remains a challenging and time-consuming process. This study employs electrochemistry to explore molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). Polypyrrole films are synthesized on a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE), using diuron as a template for creating MIPs. The findings identified optimal conditions for the synthesis of polypyrrole coatings o the working electrode, with adjustments made to the supply voltage and synthesis time for enhanced results. Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) was utilized to characterize the physical surface of the electrode, while voltammetry was used to assess the dynamic behavior and performance of the electrochemical sensors. The sensor exhibited a linear sweep voltammetric current response ranging from 0.05 to 0.4 mM (R²=0.9746), with a detection limit of 0.05 mM and a sensitivity of 2.0441×10⁻⁶ A/mM for diuron. In comparison to other insecticides and inorganic salts, the MIPs demonstrated superior selectivity and electrochemical characteristics. The developed sensor effectively detected diuron in groundwater samples.
