A novel self-assembled gold nanoparticles-molecularly imprinted modified carbon ionic liquid electrode with high sensitivity and selectivity for the rapid determination of bisphenol A leached from plastic containers

In the present work, a new nanocomposite, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) decorated by mercaptamine- gold nanoparticles (AuNPs-MCA-rGO) was synthesized for the first time by a facile hydrothermal method. The carbon ionic liquid electrode (CILE) was modified by AuNPs-MCA-rGO and molecular imprinted polymer (MIP) to sensitive and selective electrochemical microanalysis of bisphenol A (BPA). The modifier provides a large surface area, selective sites...
