Tannic acid functionalized N-doped graphene modified glassy carbon electrode for the determination of bisphenol A in food package

A rapid, environmental friendly, and sensitive sensor for the detection of bisphenol A (BPA) was developed at glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with Tannic acid functionalized N-doped graphene (TA/N-G) immobilized by Nafion. Compared with other sensors, the proposed sensor greatly enhanced the response signal of BPA due to the active surface area of N-G and high absorption efficiency of TA. Under the optimal conditions, the oxidation current increased linearly with increasing the concentration of BPA in the range of 0.05–13µM with the detection limit of 4.0nM. The fabricated electrode showed good reproducibility, stability and anti-interference. The developed electrochemical sensor was successfully applied to determine BPA in food package.
