Development and application of 3-chloro-1,2-propandiol electrochemical sensor based on a polyaminothiophenol modified molecularly imprinted film.
In this work, a novel electrochemical sensor for 3-chloro-1,2-propandiol (3-MCPD) detection based on a gold nanoparticle-modified glassy carbon electrode (AuNP/GCE) coated with a molecular imprinted polymer (MIP) film was constructed. p-Aminothiophenol (p-ATP) and 3-MCPD were self-assembled on a AuNP/GCE surface, and then a MIP film was formed by electropolymerization. The 3-MCPD template combined with p-ATP during self-assembly and electropolymerization, and the cavities matching 3-MCPD remained after the removal of the template. The MIP sensor was characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Many factors that affected the performance of the MIP membrane were discussed and optimized. Under optimal conditions, the DPV current was linear with the log of the 3-MCPD concentration in the range from 1.0 × 10(-17) to 1.0 × 10(-13) mol L(-1) (R(2) = 0.9939), and the detection limit was 3.8 × 10(-18) mol L(-1) (S/N = 3). The average recovery rate of 3-MCPD from spiked soy sauce samples ranged from 95.0% to 106.4% (RSD < 3.49%). Practically, the sensor showed high sensitivity, good selectivity, excellent reproducibility, and stability during the quantitative determination of 3-MCPD.
