We report a facile and green synthetic approach to synthesize a silver nanoparticle (AgNPs)–graphene oxide (GO) composite using beta cyclodextrin as a stabilizing agent and ascorbic acid as a reducing agent.

Graphene nanosheets (GNS) and amberlite XAD‐2 (XAD2) modified glassy carbon paste electrode (GNS‐XAD2‐GCPE) were fabricated for voltammetric determination of Carbendazim (MBC). GNS was synthesized by Hummer’s method and characterized by SEM, EDAX, and XRD techniques. After optimizing the analytical conditions in 0.4 M citrate buffer (pH 4.0), the peak current was found to be linear in the range of 8.36×10−9 to 4.13×10−6 M (r=0.9986) with detection limit of 3.14×10−9 M (S/N=3) by AdSDPV. The method was validated for the determination of MBC in soil, fruit, blood serum, urine, waste and ground water samples with satisfactory recoveries.

A silicon carbide nanoparticle‐coated glassy carbon electrode (SiCNPs‐GCE) was employed for electrochemical determination of Quinalphos (QNP) using different electroanalytical techniques. QNP showed an enhancement in the reduction peak current at SiCNPs modified GCE in pH 7.0 (BR Buffer). The peak current was found to be linear with the QNP concentration in the range from 6.69×10−9 to 1.34×10−6 M (r=0.995) with detection limit of 1.34×10−9 M (S/N=3). The developed sensor (SiCNPs‐GCE) was employed for QNP determination in tap water, lake water, soil, mango as well as in biological samples.
