Ruthenium complex based nanocomposite film with enhanced and selective electrochemical sensing of bifenthrin pesticide.

ABSTRACT: Bifenthrin (BF), a widely used pyrethroid pesticide in farming, lacks highly sensitive and selective sensors despite its extensive application. Ruthenium complexes are very effective for selective sensing applications but suffer from structural instability at elevated conditions, electrochemical activity, and the use of costly electrolytes. This work improves their electrochemical activity and mechanical strength by incorporating silver nanowires and replacing the costly electrolyte with abundant KCl + PBS, resulting in enhanced signal performance. Herein, a ruthenium complex containing composite film was immobilized on a platinum (Pt) electrode using Langmuir Blodgett technique. The fabricated sensor has been characterized by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) based electrochemical tech
