Abstract

Nanostructures of graphene were synthesized for electrochemical carbendazim (CBZ) fungicide detection via metal–organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The arduous process of graphene transfer is eliminated by this innovative approach to MOCVD graphene development. It also generates several defects and impurities and ultimately leads to the uniform deposition of graphene on SiO2/Si. SEM, EDX, and ICP-AES were used to assess the morphological properties and chemical composition of the materials. To obtain in-depth knowledge of the entire system, the electrochemical behavior was also investigated using voltammetric techniques and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The interaction of particles of copper with CBZ and the enhanced surface area of graphene, which causes a strong oxidation current, has been demonstrated to achieve the ideal CBZ sensing behavior. The electrode responded linearly at CBZ concentration levels of 1 to 50 nM, and the sensitivity of the sensing materials was estimated to be 0.0337 Ω nM−1. The statistical analysis validates the electrode’s exceptional selectivity and remarkable reproducibility in determining CBZ.
