Facile hydrothermal synthesis of manganese sulfide nanoelectrocatalyst for high sensitive detection of Bisphenol A in food and eco-samples

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a renowned plasticizer, and a key component of various plastics, resins, and food packaging materials. However, BPA have been identified as an endocrine disruption compound and cause severe consequences such as infertility, diabetic, obesity, carcinoma, and possess high risk of exposure in aquatic ecosystem. To this, we crafted an ultrasensitive electrochemical sensor based on the manganese sulfide nanoparticles (MnS NPs) catalyzed electrochemical oxidation of BPA, and its eventual application in rapid screening of BPA contamination. The physiochemical characteristics and electrocatalytic performance of the MnS nanocatalyst have been well studied and utilized in the fabrication of MnS/GCE based BPA sensor. The fabricated BPA sensor has shown a broad dynamic range (20 nM-2.15 mM), lower detection limits (6.52 nM) and promising towards rapid screening of BPA contaminations in food and environmental samples under mimicked real-world conditions with excellent accuracy and precision.
