We report a sensitive voltammetric sensor for chlorpyrifos based on TiO2@Fe-imidazole MOF nanocomposite through hydrothermal process modified glassy carbon, screen printed carbon and graphene electrodes (MGCE, MSPCE & MSPGE). The electrode surface morphology and enhancement study was performed through SEM, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy Randels fit analysis and the results revealed that the TiO2@Fe-imidazole MOF modified electrodes reduced the resistance of the redox probe, which helps to promote the sensing ability and electro oxidation behaviour of chlorpyrifos. A voltammetric result revealed that the TiO2@Fe-imidazole MOF at MGCE, MSPCE and MSPGE detects potential at 8.91E−07:0.161 V, 2.52E−06; 0.26 V and 4.86E−06; 0.322 V respectively. The developed sensor exhibits low detection limit of 10 pg/drop through DROPSENS and revealed excellent degradation efficiency through spectroelectrochemical degradation of chlorpyrifos with TiO2@Fe-imidazole MOF. The real time drop sensing of TiO2@Fe-imidazole MOF at modified electrodes performed with real samples exhibits good sensitivity and selectivity towards chlorpyrifos. Hence, this characteristic of MOF helps to improve the futuristic environmental applications at one drop.
