• obtained, which will be used as an electrochemical nanosensor in further studies for malathion detection (Figure 1). Characterization FTIR, Raman, UV–vis, and fluorescence spectroscopy measurements were carried out to determine the optical properties of GQDs. A Perkin Elmer LAMBDA 750 spectrophotometer was

• malathion detection (Figure 10). Conclusion Graphene quantum dots (size range 5 to 40 nm) were chemically synthesized by using glucose as a precursor in a hydrothermal method. This paper describes the fabrication of an electrochemical nanosensor by modifying a bare glassy carbon electrode with GQDs. The

• stability (≈180 days), good reproducibility, and repeatability for interference-free detection of PT residues in actual samples. This electrochemical nanosensor is suitable for point-of-care detection of PT in a wide dynamic range of 3 × 10−11–11 × 10−6 M with a lower detection limit of 10.9 pM. The

• performance of the nanosensor was validated by adding PT to natural samples and comparing the data via absorption spectroscopy. PT detection results encourage the design of easy-to-use nanosensor-based analytical tools for rapidly monitoring other environmental samples. Keywords: electrochemical nanosensor

• sensing platform was not cost-effective, stable, and sensitive in order to develop a robust electrochemical nanosensor for on-site monitoring of organophosphates in agricultural samples. To date, no reliable sensing system is available for the rapid quantification of parathion residues in environmental
