Abstract The determination of organic and inorganic environmental and food pollutants is a key matter of concern in analytical chemistry due to their effects as a serious threat to human health. Focusing on this issue, several methodologies involving the use of nanostructured electrochemical platforms have been recently reported in the literature. Among these methods, those employing the use of quantum dots (QDs) stand out because of features such as signal amplification, good reproducibility and selectivity, and the possibility for multiplexed detection, and because they preserve the outstanding characteristics of electrochemical methodologies with respect to simplicity, ease-of-use, and cost-effective instrumentation. This review describes recent electrochemical strategies, in which design QDs play a key role, for the determination of pollutants in food and environmental samples. The particular role of QDs in the reported methodologies, their preparation, and the electrochemical platform design, as well as the advantages that QDs provide in the analysis of target analytes, are critically discussed.

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as an excellent supporter covered with a thick layer of cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) were prepared by in-situ synthesis. Platinum particles were adopted to enhance the conductivity of CoPc-MWCNTs. The final nanocomposite Pt-CoPc-MWCNTs was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Strong aromatic π-π stacking between MWCNTs and CoPc made CoPc in-situ forming on MWCNTs. With homogeneous thickness of CoPc covered on the MWCNTs and Pt particles equally distributed, the nanocomposite was used as electrocatalyst. The electrochemical properties of the composite got researched by casting the dispersion of Pt-CoPc-MWCNTs on the glassy carbon electrode. Compared with other modified electrodes, Pt-CoPc-MWCNTs/GC electrode exhibited excellent electrochemical activity towards dopamine (DA) and uric acid (UA). Linear responses for DA and UA were obtained in the ranges of 5 to 170 μM and 5 to 100 μM, and limits of detection were 2.6 and 1.4 μM (S/N= 3), respectively. Simultaneous detection of DA and UA in the presence of ascorbic acid (AA) also displayed selective property, with no interference to each other.

Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode

A modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) compositing multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), Nafion and bismuth film was prepared and applied for the sensitive detection of trace Pb (II). MWCNTs were dispersed into ethanol by ultrasonication in the presence of Nafion and the nanotubes are coated onto the bare GCE. After that, an extra Nafion adhesion agent is added to the electrode. By the in situ plating, a bismuth film was fabricated on the MWCNTs-NA/GCE, making the desired electrode, MWCNTs-NA-Bi/GCE. The modified electrode was characterized by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry, scanning electron microscopy, and cyclic voltammetry. A deposition potential of –1.4 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) and a deposition time of 300 s were applied to the working electrode under stirred conditions after optimizing. Nanotubes and Nafion concentrations and pH were carefully optimized to determine trace lead ions by using the electrode as an electrochemical-sensing platform. Nafion effectively increased the stability and adhesivity of the composite film. The MWCNTs-NA-Bi film modified electrode can remarkably increase the anodic peak current of Pb2+. The sensitivity of MWCNTs-NA-Bi/GCE is 4.35 times higher than that of the bare GCE with bismuth film. The prepared electrode showed excellent stability and reproducibility and can be applied for determination of Pb2+ contained wastewater.
