Abstract

In this study, a sensitive electrochemical sensor for parathion was developed on the basis of the synergistic effect of the zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) and a pyrrolidinium ionic liquid (PIL). Cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were employed to characterize the electrochemical properties of the modified electrodes. The PIL/ZIF-8-modified carbon paste electrode (PIL/ZIF-8/CPE) exhibited a high electrode surface area and a more rapid electron-transfer rate compared with the other electrodes. In addition, the electrochemical behavior of parathion at various electrodes was examined. The voltammetric response of parathion at the PIL/ZIF-8/CPE significantly increased in comparison with those at the bare carbon paste electrode (CPE), ZIF-8, and PIL-modified CPE. These results were possibly related to the synergistic effect between ZIF-8 and PIL, both exhibiting unique electronic and catalytic properties. Under optimized conditions, the calibration curve for parathion exhibited a linear range of 5.0–700 μg/L, with a limit of detection of 2.0 μg/L. The proposed electrochemical sensor was applied for the determination of parathion in vegetable samples with recoveries from 90.5 to 109%.
