A facile synthesis of nanostructured CoFe₂O₄ for the electrochemical sensing of bisphenol A.

ABSTRACT: This work reports a novel, highly sensitive and cost-effective electrochemical sensor for the detection of bisphenol A in environmental water samples. Attractive non-noble transition metal oxide CoFe₂O₄ nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using a sol-gel combustion method and further characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Under optimal conditions, the CoFe₂O₄ nanoparticle modified glassy carbon electrode exhibits high electrochemical activity and good catalytic performance for the detection of bisphenol A. The linear calibration curves are obtained within a wide concentration range from 0.05 μmol L^-1 to 10 μmol L^-1, and the limit of detection is 3.6 nmol
