Abstract

Heavy metal ion (HMI) pollution is threat to human health and environment. Here, a sensor for the electrochemical detection (ECD) of Pb+2 along with simultaneous detection of Cd+2, Cu+2 and Hg+2 utilizing the synergic effect of dopants like graphene-oxide (GO) and iron oxide (Fe3O4) into hydrogels of polyaniline (H-PANI/Fe-GO) displays an excellent square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV) performance towards Pb+2, with an impressive limit of detection (LOD) of 5.15 nM. The oxidative peaks were observed for simultaneous detection at −0.7306, −0.4899, −0.0092 and 0.3417 V vs. Ag/AgCl for Cd+2, Pb+2, Cu+2 and Hg+2 with good sensitivity, reproducibility and stability. Additionally, H-PANI/Fe-GO sensor is effectively employed to detect Pb+2 in real water samples.
