Abstract:An AB@Co3O4@MWCNTs-COOH electrochemical sensor for rapid detection of trace BaP in foods was prepared. The electrochemical reaction of BaP on various sensors was determined by cyclic voltammetry (CV), exhibiting a well-defined oxidation peak but no reduction peak, indicating that is irreversible oxidation-reduction process. AB@Co3O4@MWCNTs-COOH sensor were characterized by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The experimental conditions were optimized, the results as follow: electrolyte solution, 0.3 mol/L lithium perchlorate solution (pH=2); Modification solution composition, VCo3O4@MWCNTs-COOH: VAB=2:1; Cosmetic volume: 6 μL; Enrich time: 15 minutes. Under optimal conditions, the oxidation peak current has a well linear increases with BaP concentration (Ip=3.1939CBaP+1.5439, R2=0.996), with LOD is 3.12×10-10 mol/L and recovery rates ranged from 85.7 % to 94.21 %. The developed method was utilized to determine the content of BaP in food samples, and the results obtained are consistent with those from other methods. It was practical to determinate the content of BaP in foods with is easy to operate, had a low detection limit, good anti-interference ability, good stability, and was suitable for on-site quantitative analysis of BaP in food.
