Picloram (PCR), a vastly utilized chlorinated herbicide, is very stable in water and soil with severe ecological and health impacts. It is necessary to establish a fast and highly sensitive technique for accurately detecting trace level PCR in agricultural and environmental samples. We employed a temperature-responsive poly(N-vinylcaprolactam)-tethered multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT-PVCL) decorated gold nanoparticles (Au@MWCNT-PVCL) catalyst on the electrochemical sensor for the sensitive "On/Off" switch-like detection of PCR. The effect of temperature-sensitive catalyst surface chemistry on electrocatalytic activity was scrutinized. Results showed that the hydrophilic surface of PVCL at 25 °C (LCST) that immensely upgraded PCR oxidation on the catalyst in the electrochemical reaction, signifying the "On" state. The detection of the Au@MWCNT-PVCL modified electrode ranged from 0.02-183 µM with a low detection limit (LOD) of 1.5 nM at 40 °C toward PCR. The proposed sensor was successfully used to detect PCR in real agricultural and environmental samples.
