A novel bismuth nanoparticle (BiNP) and tyrosinase (Tyr) biosensor offers rapid, selective detection of toxic phenolic compounds in water. This mediator-free amperometric device provides accurate measurements at a low potential, minimizing interference for real-world applications.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Trace phenolic compounds in water pose significant toxicity risks.
  • Electrochemical tyrosinase (Tyr) biosensors offer selective, cost-effective, and rapid monitoring of phenols.
  • Existing methods may lack sensitivity or be prone to interference.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a mediator-free amperometric biosensor for the rapid determination of phenolic compounds.
  • To investigate the synergistic effects of bismuth nanoparticles (BiNPs) and Tyr for enhanced detection.
  • To evaluate the biosensor's performance for real-world water sample analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a screen-printed electrode (SPE) modified with BiNPs and Tyr using glutaraldehyde cross-linking.

  • Amperometric measurements at a low direct current (DC) potential of -200 mV.
  • Electrochemical studies and optical characterizations to elucidate the response mechanism.

    • Main Results:

    • The BiNPs/Tyr biosensor demonstrated a linear detection range up to 71 μM for phenol and 100 μM for catechol.
    • High correlation coefficients (0.995 for phenol, 0.996 for catechol) indicate excellent linearity.
    • The low working potential effectively avoided common interferences, enhancing applicability.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed BiNPs/Tyr biosensor is a highly sensitive and selective tool for detecting phenolic compounds in contaminated water.
    • The mediator-free design and low operating potential offer significant advantages for practical environmental monitoring.
    • This work highlights the potential of BiNPs in advancing biosensor technology for various applications.
