Abstract: This study investigates the development of a Cr (VI)-selective electrode based on Cr (VI) imprinted polymer nanoparticles and its application in detection of chromium ions by differential pulse voltammetry. In methanol, precipitation polymerization of meta-acrylate acid (the functional monomer), 2, 2'-azobisisobutyronitrile (the initiator), ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (the cross-linker), 1, 5-Diphenylcarbazide (the chromium-binding ligand), and chromium ions (the template ion) produced IP-NPs. After polymerization, Cr (VI) was leached out from the polymer nanoparticles using NaOH/EDTA 0.5/0.1 mol L-1 to create holes for Cr(VI). After sorption of Cr (VI) ions and reduction to metallic shape, the detection method of differential pulse stripping voltammetry was performed on a carbon paste electrode modified with IP-NPs. The response of electrodes modified with IP-NPs differed significantly from that of electrodes modified with non-IP-NPs. The modified electrode reacts to Cr (VI) linearly in the 0.1 nM to 10.0 nM range with sensitivity of 0.9594 nA/nM and linearly in the 10.0 nM to 100.0 nM range with sensitivity of 0.1958 μA/μM. At signal to noise of 3, the sensor's method detection limit was 30 pM. The sensor was employed to detect Cr (VI) traces in ambient water samples that had been contaminated
