An electrochemical sensor (carboxylatopillar[5]arene-coated nitrogen-doped carbon dots, namely CCDs) based on carboxylatopillar[5]arene (CP[5]) functionalized nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) has been developed in a facile and economic manner. To improve the performance of this electrochemical sensor in pesticide detection, the optimal solution pH (pH 7) and loading amount of CCDs on the electrode (0.50 mg/mL) have been determined. By virtue of the good conductivity of N-CDs and the molecular recognition property of CP[5], CCDs modified glassy carbon electrode, namely CCDs/GCE, shows excellent anti-interference capability, selectivity, stability, and reproducibility in the sensitive detection of paraquat. The peak currents are proportional to the paraquat concentration (from 0.1 µmol/L to 10 µmol/L) with a detection limit of 6.4 nmol/L (S/N = 3), indicating a great potential in pesticide detection. In comparison with the electrochemical sensors that require expensive metal nanoparticles and complex preparation processes, CCDs/GCE exhibits excellent detection capability of paraquat with lower cost and simpler preparation processes.
