Glyphosate (GLY) is a systemic herbicide used in
agriculture and has a carcinogenic effect after long-term usage. Herein, a molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensor
based on palladium@yttrium oxide@boron nitride nanosheets (Pd/Y2O3@BN)
nanocomposite was developed for the detection of GLY in drinking water. After
the preparation of Pd/Y2O3@BN nanocomposite by using
sonication and NaBH4 reduction methods, Pd/Y2O3@BN nanocomposite as electrode material
was applied on glassy carbon electrode by infrared lamp. Then, a molecularly imprinted glassy carbon electrode based on Pd/Y2O3@BN
(MIP) was designed with cyclic voltammetry (CV) in
presence of pyrrole monomer and GLY molecule. After the spectroscopic and
microscopic characterizations,
the linearity in the range of 1.0×10-9 – 1.0×10-8 M with a detection limit (LOD) of 3.3×10-10 M was obtained for GLY
molecule. After MIP electrode was applied to drinking water samples with high recovery, the selectivity,
stability, repeatability and reproducibility features were studied. These promising results
suggested that the as-fabricated MIP
electrode presented
a novel and highly effective approach for GLY assay.
