Abstract: Bisphenol A (BPA) is an important endocrine disrupter in environments, for which sensitive and selective detection methods are highly necessary to carry out its recognition and quantification. Here a novel electrochemical sensor was developed based on molecularly imprinted polypyrrole/graphene quantum dots (MIPPy/GQDs) composite for the detection of bisphenol A (BPA) in water samples. A MIPPy/GQDs composite layer was prepared by the electropolymerization of pyrrole on a glassy carbon electrode with BPA as a template. The MIPPy/GQDs composite could specifically recognize BPA in aqueous solutions, which resulted in the decrease of peak currents of K3[Fe(CN)6] at the MIPPy/GQDs) modified electrode in cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). There was a linear relationship between BPA concentrations ranging from 0.1 μM to 50 μM and the response value (Δ IDPV) in DPV, with a limit of detection of 0.04 μM (S/N = 3). The sensor was applied for the detection of BPA in tap and sea water samples, with recoveries of 94.5% and 93.7%, respectively. The proposed method provides a powerful tool for rapid and sensitive detection of BPA in environmental samples
