Copper Oxide Anchored Carbon Nanofibers: A Versatile Platform for Multiplex Detection of Antibiotics, Heavy Metals and Pesticides
In this study, copper oxide-dispersed graphitic carbon nanofibers (CuO-CNFs) grown via chemical vapour deposition were employed as a robust platform for detecting a variety of environmental pollutants. This array-based sensor adeptly identifies three different classes of analytes, i.e., antibiotics (chloramphenicol (CP) and tylosin tartrate (TT)), heavy metals (cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb)), and pesticides (quinalphos (QP) and imidacloprid (IP)). The CuO-CNF-modified GCE array rapidly discerns (<15 sec) a broad linear range: 1-20 ppm for CP, 1-13.33 ppm for TT, 0.66-11.66 ppm for Cd, 20-33.33 ppm for Pb, 1.6-11.6 ppm for ...
