Herein, an innovative enzyme free electrochemiluminescence chlorpyrifos sensor was reported based on the incorporation of ternary nanocomposite (ruthenium nanobeads/silver nanoparticles/graphene oxide) on the surface of glassy carbon electrode. The silver nanoparticles as a robust signal enhancing agent were well deposited on the modified graphene oxide/glassy carbon electrode and exhibited supreme electrocatalytic proficiency. Then, Ru(bipy)32+ species in bead-like nanoparticles were uniformly anchored on the surface of the modified electrode with the help of chitosan, as a good crosslinking agent. Boron nitride quantum dots as a new coreactant species showed the excellent proficiency for signal enhancement of the fabricated electrode. The fabricated electrode was successfully used as an ultra-sensitive sensor for trace analysis of chlorpyrifos by ECL technique. The wide linear range and the low detection limit were obtained from 5.0 × 10-15 to 4.2 × 10-9 M and 6.5 × 10-16 M, respectively.
