Electrochemical determination of phenothrin in fruit juices at graphene oxide-polypyrrole modified glassy carbon electrode

An electrochemical sensor was developed based on graphen oxide-polypyrrole modified glassy carbon electrode (GO/PPy/GCE) for sensitive determination of phenothrin in fruit samples. GO/PPy/GCE was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Ul...
