- Description
- In this work, azide-funtionalised CdSe/ZnS QDs are conjugated with tetrakis(5-hexyn-oxy) Fe(II) phthalocyanine for the electrocatalytic detection of paraquat. The conjugate was fully characterised using various techniques to confirm the success of the reaction. They also showed good electrocatalytic ability towards the electroreduction of paraquat with limits of detection (LoD) of 5.9 × 10−9 μM which is a great improvement compared to other reported sensors for this analyte.
