The electrocatalytic activity of TiC is similar to noble metals but is much less expensive. Herein, carbon nanofibers (CNFs)-supported TiC nanoparticles (NPs) film (TiC\/C) is prepared by electrospinning and carbothermal processes. Well-dispersed TiC NPs are embedded tightly into the CNFs frameworks. The electrochemical oxidation of pyrimethanil (PMT) at the TiC\/C-modified electrode displays enhanced redox properties, and the electrode surface is controlled simultaneously both by diffusion and adsorption processes. When TiC\/C is applied for PMT determination, the as-fabricated sensor shows good sensing performance, displaying a wide linear range (0.1\u2013600 \u03bcM, R2 = 0.998), low detection limit (33 nM, S\/N = 3), and good reproducibility with satisfied anti-interference ability. In addition, TiC\/C shows long-term stability and good application in natural samples. The facile synthetic method with good sensing performance makes TiC\/C promising as novel electrode materials to fabricate efficient sensors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19071531","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,29]],"date-time":"2019-03-29T03:50:21Z","timestamp":1553831421000},"page":"1531","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["A Sensitive Pyrimethanil Sensor Based on Electrospun TiC\/C Film"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Ling","family":"Sui","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Jiangxi Normal University, Nanchang 330022, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tingting","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Jiangxi Normal University, Nanchang 330022, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lijuan","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Jiangxi Normal University, Nanchang 330022, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Honghong","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Jiangxi Normal University, Nanchang 330022, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qingqing","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Jiangxi Normal University, Nanchang 330022, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Haoqing","family":"Hou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Jiangxi Normal University, Nanchang 330022, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qiaohui","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Jiangxi Normal University, Nanchang 330022, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"456","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ecoenv.2004.12.001","article-title":"Toxicity assessment of 40 herbicides to the green alga Raphidocelis subcapitata","volume":"64","author":"Ma","year":"2006","journal-title":"Ecotoxicol.
