摘要

Reduced graphene oxide is modified with sulfanilic acid diazonium salt followed by copper(II) chelating to form a Cu complex nanocomposite. Characterization by Raman spectroscopy, FTIR and EDS, XPS, cyclic voltammetry demonstrates the successful functionalization of the graphene surfaces. Electrodes that are prepared by drop-casting the suspended nanocomposite solution on interdigitated electrodes (IDE) are tested for a novel pulsed amperometric detection of a series of sulfurated organophosphorus (SOP) pesticides, parathion, fenitrothion and malathion. A linear relationship of the pulsed amperometric current to the logarithmic value of concentration of the three SOPs is demonstrated with a R-2 value of similar to 0.95 at the S-OP concentration range of 1 ppb to 10(4) ppb. Negligible amperometric currents are observed in the control experiments using diethyl ethylphosphonate (DEEP) and dimethyl methyl phosphonate (DMMP), or S-2(-), SO32-, SO42- ions, suggesting sensing specificity to sulfurated compounds.
