Abstract

This study focuses on the determination of new contaminant fluoroquinolone antibiotics. Using ciprofloxacin (CIP) as a research representative, a novel electrochemical sensor for the detection of CIP was prepared by combining the material Cu(BDC-NH2) with the acetylene black (ACET) with good electrical conductivity. Cu(BDC-NH2) was synthesized by rapid conversion of (Zn, Cu) hydroxy nitrate (HDS) at room temperature rather than high temperature reported in literature. The optimal preparation and detection conditions were investigated, the materials and sensors were characterized using XRD, SEM, FTIR, and XPS, and the electrochemical behavior of the sensors was characterized using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results showed that the Cu(BDC-NH2)/AECT/Nafion sensor exhibited a good linear relationship with the peak currents between CIP concentrations of 2.4 × 10–7 ~ 1.2 × 10–5 mol/L, with the detection limit of 6.2 × 10–8 mol/L, the sensitivity of 8.69 A L/mol, and the spiked recoveries of 93.5 to 105.4%. The method has potential application in the determination of fluoroquinolone antibiotics (e.g., CIP) in environmental waters.
