Development of effective methods for pesticide detection in food and environment is crucial, highlighting the need for ECL sensing platforms resistant to interference and contamination.
This study introduces an innovative ECL sensing system using graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets combined with a vertically ordered mesoporous silica film on a glassy carbon electrode, designed for detecting pollutants like 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP) and the insecticide prochloraz.
The sensor demonstrates high sensitivity, with detection limits as low as 2.2 nM for TCP and successfully identifies prochloraz indirectly by measuring TCP levels, effectively working in real samples like pond water and orange peel extract.
