The authors describe an inexpensive electrode for the sensitive amperometric determination of the pesticide methyl parathion. A glassy carbon electrode was modified with a nanocomposite consisting of molybdenum disulfide nanosheets (MoS2) and graphene that was prepared via a hydrothermal process. Its morphology, elemental composition, diffraction, impedance and voltammetric characteristics were studied. The modified electrode displays excellent electrocatalytic ability towards methyl parathion, and the reduction peak current, measured typically at -0.60 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) is related to the concentration of methyl parathion. The effect of concentration, scan rate and solution pH value were optimized. The calibration plot is linear in the 10 nM to 1.9 mM concentration range, with a 3.2 nM detection limit (at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3). The electrode is selective, stable, adequately repeatable and reproducible. The method was successfully applied to the determination of methyl parathion in spiked samples of homogenized apple, kiwi, tomato and cabbage.
