A novel Bisphenol A (4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol, BPA) sensor was developed harnessing an electrochemical platform comprising a layer-by-layer assembled reduced graphene oxide (rGO) electrode and a designer probe specifically recognizing BPA. The BPA detection probe, a recombinant protein (LacI-BPA), was constructed by fusing a disulfide-constrained high affinity BPA binding peptide (CKSLENSYC) to the C-terminus of Lac repressor (LacI). Following expression and purification, the LacI-BPA was heat-denatured on-purpose to facilitate its direct adhesion on the rGO electrode surface via pi-stacking interaction. When the performance of the fabricated BPA sensor (LacI-BPA/rGO) was assessed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), it showed a wide linear dynamic range of BPA detection spanning from 100 fM to 10nM. Moreover, our BPA sensor exhibited negligible cross reactivity to BPA analogs such as Bisphenol S (BPS) and Bisphenol F (BPF) and almost complete spike recovery of BPA from plastic extracts containing various potential interferents. With these merits, the BPA sensor developed in the present study is expected to find practical application in selective and sensitive detection of BPA from diverse sample solutions.

17-Estradiol (E2) is a natural steroidal estrogen essential for a variety of physiological functions in organisms. However, external E2, which is renowned for its potent biological effects, is also considered to be an endocrine-disrupting compound (EDC) capable of disturbing the normal operation of the endocrine system, even at nanogram-per-liter (ng/L) concentrations. Studies have revealed that medical and livestock wastewater can be contaminated with E2, which poses potential risks to human health.

Bisphenols, as common industrial raw materials, are widely used in food packaging such as plastics. However, their migration and residue may affect the hormone secretion of the human body and then lead to health problems. Therefore, a low-cost, rapid and simple detection method that can simultaneously detect multiple bisphenols is very necessary.

Background: Bisphenol A (BPA) has been identified as an endocrine disruptor with numerous detrimental effects on human health. There is an urgent need to develop fluorescence/colorimetric dual-mode sensing approaches with expanded detection linear range, increased accuracy, and enhanced application flexibility for BPA detection. The utilization of fluorescence and colorimetric signals in point-of-care applications and real-time sensitive sensing further highlights the significance of developing novel and efficient fluorescence/colorimetric dual-mode sensing platform with high-efficiency probes.

A composite material based on CuFe-ZIF-derived CuFeO nano-microspheres grown in situ and well-ordered on carbon sheets (CS) was prepared and applied for highly effective determination of bisphenol A (BPA). The composite material possessed inherently high redox activity due to the presence of both Cu and Fe ions with various oxidation states (Cu²⁺/Cu⁺ and Fe³⁺/Fe²⁺), high specific surface area, uniform distribution of Cu and Fe ions, and a robust framework imparted by its precursor CuFe-ZIF. This led to increased active sites for electrochemical reactions, improved electron transfer efficiency, and structural integrity during electrochemical cycling.
