Abstract
A highly sensitive 4-cyanophenol (4-CP) sensor was fabricated using multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-embedded dual-microporous polypyrrole nanoparticle-modified screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCE/DMPPy/MWCNT). The well-defined dual pores of DMPPy and MWCNT (~ 0.53 and ~ 0.65 nm) acted as good analyte absorption agents (shortening the ion diffusion path) and conducting agents (reducing the internal electron-transfer resistance). This enhanced electrical conductivity resulted in the improved electro-oxidation of 4-CP. A higher sensitivity (19.0 μA μM-1 cm-2) and lower limit of detection (0.8 nM) were achieved with a wide detection range of 0.001-400 µM (R2 = 0.9988). The proposed sensor exhibited excellent recovery of 4-CP in real-world samples. Therefore, the SPCE/DMPPy/MWCNT sensor is regarded highly suitable for rapidly detecting 4-CP.
