Abstract
Electrochemical (EC) sensing of bisphenol A (BPA), a notorious persistent contaminant, is of pressing interest. However, the state-of-the-art BPA sensors are challenged by two performance parameters: limited EC catalysis and sensitivity. Herein, a two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic framework (MOF) superstructure-derived Ni2P@C probe elicits a novel EC sensor that exhibits high-efficiency BPA detection. Thanks to the abundant Niδ+ active sites exposed uniformly on cross-linked layers stemming from the inherited 2D-MOF superstructures as the precursors, high conductivity results from the organic linkers-derived graphitic carbon. The prepared Ni2P@C composites-based EC sensors demonstrated exceptional BPA-induced sensing responses with a wide dynamic response range, high sensitivity of 0.951 μA cm−2·μM−1, a low limit of detection (LOD, 56.8 nM) in the linear range of 1 μM–100 μM. Below 1 μM, the response followed the logarithm of BPA concentrations, indicating the potential for detection down to 5 pM. The excellent selectivity in the presence of similar interferents, combined with high reproducibility and chemical stability, underscores the potential of 2D MOF-derived Ni2P@C for accurate monitoring of hazardous phenols, opening new avenues for environmental sensing and remediation.
期刊介绍:
Biosensors & Bioelectronics, along with its open access companion journal Biosensors & Bioelectronics: X, is the leading international publication in the field of biosensors and bioelectronics. It covers research, design, development, and application of biosensors, which are analytical devices incorporating biological materials with physicochemical transducers. These devices, including sensors, DNA chips, electronic noses, and lab-on-a-chip, produce digital signals proportional to specific analytes. Examples include immunosensors and enzyme-based biosensors, applied in various fields such as medicine, environmental monitoring, and food industry. The journal also focuses on molecular and supramolecular structures for enhancing device performance.
