Abstract

A new, high sensitivity and selectivity electrochemical sensor for determination of trace lead in tea by differential pulse stripping voltammetry was investigated. For modification of the screen-printed carbon electrode, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate was applied as a super conductive binder and multi-walled carbon nanotubes were used after being functionalized. They improved the conductivity and signal transduction of electrode surface. In pH4.5 NaAc-HAc buffer containing 0.006mol/L I^¯, Pb²⁺ adsorbed onto the surface of MWCNTs-IL film coated SPCE at the deposition potential of –1.1V. During the positive potential sweep, lead was oxidized, and a good stripping peak appeared at –0.30V. Low concentration of I^¯ significantly enhanced the stripping peak current of lead. The liner relationship between stripping peak value and concentration of Pb²⁺ was in the range of 2~600μg/L with the R value of 0.99926 and detection limit of 0.63μg/L. No significant difference existed after the detection results were compared with ICP-MS method using t test. The high sensitivity and stability of this method demonstrated the application for a simple and economical determination of trace lead in tea.
