Electrochemical sensor based on confined synthesis of gold nanoparticles @ covalent organic frameworks for the detection of bisphenol A.
Abstract
Covalent-organic frameworks (COFs), a kind of conjugate crystalline polymers, has great potential for high performance electrochemical sensors due to high porosity, controllable pores and structure, and large specific surface area, etc. Herein, we developed an electrochemical sensor based on confined synthesis of gold nanoparticles @ 1,3,5-triformylphloroglucinol (Tp) and benzidine (BD) connected COFs (Au NPs@TpBD-COFs) for electrochemical detection of bisphenol A (BPA). Firstly, Au NPs were grown on the surface and in the pores of COFs by confinement synthesis strategy, which aimed to improve the conductivity and catalytic activity of COFs. Then, this composite was used to constitute electrochemical sensor for the oxidation of BPA, resulting a good electrocatalytic activity in the phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.4). Due to high conductivity of Au NPs and TpBD-COFs recognize BPA via π-π stacking interactions and hydrogen bonds, the proposed sensor for the detection of BPA has the linear range of 5-1000 μM and the detection limit of 1 μM. Finally, the proposed sensor was used to measure the content of BPA in real water samples with a satisfactory recovery from 98.6 to 106.9%. Those good results confirmed that the proposed electrochemical sensors for monitoring of BPA in the application of COFs provided a significant guidance.
