Recent Developments in Electrode materials and Methods for Pesticide Analysis - An overview

摘要

Different types of electrode materials have been developed recently for the potential application inpesticide sensor analysis. These electrodes are employed for the determination of organophosphates,carbamates and methyl parathion. This short review article gives an overview of different analyticaland electrochemical methods (High performance liquid chromatography, cyclic voltammetry, squarewave voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry and electron impedance spectroscopy) reported forthe pesticide detection and new kinds of electrode materials including carbon nanomaterials, metaloxides, conducting polymers and clays based materials for the detection of environmentally andbiologically toxic pesticides and herbicides. The recently developed electrode materials which are ableto detect upto lower level concentrations of pesticides with high sensitivity and specificity have beenreviewed. Real sample studies carried out in apple, cabbage, tap water and lake water were alsooverviewed.
