The development of methods for lead ion determination in various biological and environmental samples is both necessary and challenging.

Abstract

The development of methods for lead ion determination in various biological and environmental samples is both necessary and challenging. In this context, considering the properties of both SBA-15 and MCM-41 mesoporous materials and the role of NH2-functional groups grafted on the silica surface (SBA-15-NH2 and MCM-41-NH2), the aim of the study was to investigate the electrochemical detection of Pb2+ by means of silica-modified glassy carbon electrodes (GCEs). The square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV) was used to characterize the modified electrodes with four different samples of ordered mesoporous silica (OMS) powders, mentioned above. Additionally, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to characterize these modifiers. Pb2+ exhibits a well-defined oxidation peak (around − 0.5 V vs. Ag/AgCl/KClsat) and high peak current at either bare or OMS-modified glassy carbon electrodes, but the best response was recorded in the case of GC/SBA-15-NH2-modified electrode in 0.1 M acetate buffer. The performance of the prepared electrodes is highlighted by good analytical parameters (satisfies the requirements of low cost and rapid results), which recommends them to be used for real sample analysis.
