A brief review of bisphenol derivatives and their electrochemical detection methods

The ubiquitous use of bisphenols, an endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC), in consumer goods, plastics, food coatings, and other daily life has been documented in past years. Research has indicated that the existence of bisphenol can cause both environmental and health-related problems. Although bisphenol derivatives were synthesized as an alternative to bisphenol-A (BPA), recent research indicates they may be just as hazardous as the original compounds. Thus, there is a pressing need for precise and sensitive sensors to identify compounds of bisphenol. This review presents complete insights into derivatives of bisphenol, electrochemical techniques including differential pulse voltammetry, square wave voltammetry, cyclic voltammetry, and amperometry, and provides insights on how quickly, accurately, and affordably these approaches could be used to analyze substances that alter hormones. Along with any potential downsides, it covers these method's sensitivity, selectivity, and detection limits. The importance of ongoing research and development in this field is discussed to address the difficulties associated with EDC exposure and safeguard human health and the environment. Additionally, highlights are made of the differentially modified electrode with various materials used to detect BPA derivatives with the help of electrochemical sensors.
