    Abstract:
    Pesticides play a critical role in improving crop yield in modern agriculture, but their residues significantly harm the environment and human health. Herein, a novel and simple colorimetric sensor array built on sulfuric acid assisted KMnO4 fading strategy has been developed for pesticides detection and discrimination. This sensor array is facilely fabricated by KMnO4 and sulfuric acid through simply adjusting their concentrations and ratios. Hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA) demonstrates that the as-fabricated colorimetric sensor array has a high dimensionality, and shows excellent capability to recognize common kinds of pesticides from potential interferants. Semi-quantitative detection was achieved through combining HCA and corresponding fitting curves. Moreover, the proposed sensor array was successfully applied to detect pesticide residues (e.g. carbaryl) in real samples. The strategy described herein will not only "maximally" simplify the design and fabrication approach, but expand the application fields of colorimetric sensor array methodology towards weak-reactive analytes.
