Abstract: A novel quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensor with a high selectivity and sensitivity has been developed for the determination of Cu(II) ions, based on the modification of Cu(II) ion-imprinted polymer (Cu(II)-IIP) film onto a quartz crystal. The performance of the developed MIP-QCM sensor was evaluated and the results indicated that a sensitive MIP-QCM sensor could be fabricated. The obtained MIP-QCM sensor presents high-selectivity monitoring of Cu(II) ions, better reproducibility, shorter response time (6ámin), wider linear range (0.001-50áμM) and lower detection limit (8á+á10-4áμM). The practical analysis of the MIP-QCM sensor confirms the feasibility of Cu(II) determination in wastewater
