In this study, a novel copper-aluminum metal hydroxide doped graphene nanoprobe (labeled as CuAl\u2013LDH\/Gr NC) was first developed to construct a non-enzymatic electrochemical sensor for detection trace glyphosate. The characterization results showed that the synthesized CuAl\u2013LDH had a high-crystallinity flowered structure, abundant metallic bands and an intercalated functional group. After mixed with Gr, the nanocomposites provided a larger surface area and better conductivity. The as-prepared CuAl\u2013LDH\/Gr NC dramatically improved the enrichment capability for glyphosate to realize the stripping voltammetry detection. The logarithmic linear detection range of the sensor was found to be 2.96 \u00d7 10\u22129\u20131.18 \u00d7 10\u22126 mol L\u22121 with the detection limit of 1 \u00d7 10\u22129 mol L\u22121 with excellent repeatability, good stability and anti-interference ability. Further, the sensor achieved satisfactory recovery rates in spiked surface water, ranging from 97.64% to 108.08%, demonstrating great accuracy and practicality.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20154146","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,27]],"date-time":"2020-07-27T04:39:50Z","timestamp":1595824790000},"page":"4146","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":52,"title":["Performance of CuAl-LDH\/Gr Nanocomposite-Based Electrochemical Sensor with Regard to Trace Glyphosate Detection in Water"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Chuxuan","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Environmental and Resource Sciences, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xinqiang","family":"Liang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Environmental and Resource Sciences, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Water Pollution Control and Environmental Security Technology, Hangzhou 310058, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuanyuan","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Physical and Theoretical Chemistry Laboratory, University of Oxford, Oxford OX1 3QZ, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hua","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Environment, Resource, Soil and Fertilizer, Zhejiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Hangzhou 310021, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiangyang","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Environmental and Resource Sciences, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Water Pollution Control and Environmental Security Technology, Hangzhou 310058, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"114840","DOI":"10.1016\/j.watres.2019.07.007","article-title":"Degradation of glyphosate and bioavailability of phosphorus derived from glyphosate in a soil-water system","volume":"163","author":"Sun","year":"2019","journal-title":"Water Res."},{"key":"ref_2","first-page":"19","article-title":"Concerns over use of glyphosate-based herbicides and risks associated with exposures: A consensus statement","volume":"15","author":"Myers","year":"2016","journal-title":"Environ.
