Highly sensitive turn-on electrochemical sensing of organophosphorus pesticides by integration of homogeneous reaction and heterogeneous catalytic signal amplification

Enzyme-inhibited electrochemical sensor is a promising strategy for detecting organophosphorus pesticides (OPs). However, the poor stability of enzymes and the high oxidation potential of thiocholine signal probe limit their potential applications. To address this issue, an indirect strategy was proposed for highly sensitive and reliable detection of chlorpyrifos by integrating homogeneous reaction and heterogeneous catalysis. In the homogeneous reaction, Hg
