Summary
This study describes the fabrication and characterisation of a novel electrochemical sensing platform combining hollow manganese-doped ZIF-67 with carboxylated carbon nanotubes for rapid detection and removal of methyl parathion, a toxic organophosphorus pesticide. The heterojunction material demonstrated sensitive analytical performance with broad linear range and low detection limit, alongside rapid removal kinetics from aqueous solutions. The work provides a potentially useful tool for pesticide residue monitoring in fresh produce and environmental water samples.
Regional applicability
The study is a materials chemistry and electroanalytical chemistry contribution without geographic specificity. The methodology could be adapted for pesticide residue screening in United Kingdom produce safety testing and regulatory compliance monitoring, though practical implementation would require validation against UK food safety standards and matrix effects in authentic fruit and vegetable samples.
Key measures
Detection limit (0.024 μM), linear range (0.3-100 μM), maximum adsorption capacity (584.8 mg·g−1), removal efficiency (92.52% in 5 minutes)
Outcomes reported
Development and characterisation of an integrated electrochemical sensing platform (H-Mn/ZIF-67@COOH-CNTs) for detection and removal of methyl parathion residues. The platform achieved a detection limit of 0.024 μM with 92.52% removal efficiency within 5 minutes.
