The development of Diazinon sensor has been studied using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA-CuO membrane on the surface of the screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) as a receptor. The membrane used consisted of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) 5% (w/v), citric acid 5% (w/v), glutaraldehyde 4% (v/v), Diazinon solution 40 ppm (v/v), and CuO 5% (w/v). This study established the effect of Diazinon at 0.01,0.02 and 0.03 (w/w). besides, the concentration of CuO was 0.5 and 1 (w/w). Signal measurements were carried out in the concentration range of the Diazinon 10-12 - 10-5 M solution in Britton-Robinson buffer at pH 2 - 5. Besides, the influence of the electrolyte type was studied using HCl pH 4, 10-5 M KCl, pH 3 phosphate and phosphate-KCl pH 3 buffers. The results of the Diazinon sensor characterization showed that the highest sensitivity was obtained at 42 mV/decade with a response time of 180 seconds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
