Abstract

In this study, we present the development of a novel CaMn4O8–G–SiO2 (CaMnGS) sensor to detect the presence of Penicillium italicum mold. CaMnGS as ternary type nanocomposite was synthesized using a self-assembly technique. CaMnGS sample demonstrated outstanding stability, high selectivity, and notable characteristics for Penicillium italicum fungus detection. For Penicillium italicum fungus sensing, the CaMnGS displayed a large linear range of (50–100) μL, and a low detection limit of 0.50 μL. Significantly, the CaMnGS sensor was capable of swiftly detecting the Penicillium italicum fungus in wastewater. The CaMnGS has been proven to improve the selectivity for Penicillium italicum and had tremendous potential for Penicillium italicum fungal sensing. The mesoporous CaMnGS sensor may also detect the presence or absence of the fungus Penicillium italicum. This method might be used to identify the fungus Penicillium italicum. This is also the first attempt to discuss the fabrication of an electrochemical sensor employing a mesoporous CaMnGS nanoparticle composite as a platform for the selective detection of Penicillium italicum.
