Resumo

Homemade screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) were developed using conductive inks based on graphite and alkyd resin. The SPEs were optimized by varying the graphite content (50% and 60% by mass) with the incorporation of toluene (T) as a solvent into the conductive inks to improve homogeneity. The SPEs were characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The optimized SPE (SPE 50:50 T) demonstrated higher peak currents and a significant decrease in charge transfer resistance (Rct) from 619 +/- 8 ohm to 283 +/- 5 ohm compared to the SPE without toluene (SPE 50:50). Additionally, SPE 50:50 T exhibited a more homogeneous surface and an electroactive area 1.4 times larger than that of the SPE 50:50. To enhance sensitivity, SPE 50:50 T was modified with a dispersion of functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in ethanol (1 g L-1) and applied to the electroanalytical determination of diuron pesticide (C9H10Cl2N2O). The results showed that the oxidation peak potential was approximately 0.75 V vs. Ag/AgCl in pH 2.0 buffer solution, which is lower than the reported literature value of approximately 1.10 V. The linear concentration range was between 1.07 mu mol L-1 and 7.51 mu mol L-1 using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) in pH 2.0 solution, with limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) of 0.112 mu mol L-1 and 0.373 mu mol L-1, respectively. Recovery tests in samples of seawater and grape juice were successfully performed. (AU)
