Electrochemical Sensor Based on Nickel-Substituted Phosphomolybdate/Functionalized Carbon Nanotube-Gold Nanoparticles for Nitrofurantoin Detection
摘要
A novel electrochemical sensor was fabricated by integrating nickel-substituted phosphomolybdate (Ni-PMo11) with polyethyleneimine-functionalized carbon nanotube-gold nanoparticles (PEI-MWCNT-AuNPs) for sensitive detection of nitrofurantoin (NFT) in aquatic products. The Ni-PMo11/PEI-MWCNT-AuNPs nanocomposite modified glassy carbon electrode demonstrated exceptional electrocatalytic activity toward NFT reduction via a surface-controlled 4e–/4H+ pathway, validated through cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Optimized conditions yielded a wide linear range (0.04–40 μM) and low detection limit (0.042 μM) in PBS (pH 5.0). The sensor exhibited excellent stability (50 cycles), repeatability (RSD = 1.5%), reproducibility (RSD = 1.5%), and anti-interference capability (≤ 5% signal deviation against tenfold interferents). Practical application in croaker samples showed recoveries of 88.7–98.3% (RSD 1.1–2.3%), confirming reliability for monitoring NFT residues in food safety control.
