Simultaneous determination of paracetamol and Dopamine, and detection of bisphenol a using Three-dimensional interconnected porous carbon functionalized with ionic liquid

Three-dimensional interconnected porous carbon (3DIPC) materials were successfully prepared by a simple one-step pyrolysis reaction from sodium citrate. Then, the 3DIPC was combined with 1-vinyl-3-ethylimidazolium tertrafluoroborate [(VEIM)BF4] and ultrasonicated to form 3DIPC-ionic liquid (3DIPC-IL). The 3DIPC-IL modified glassy carbon electrode (3DIPC-IL/CS/GCE) displayed good electrocatalytic activity toward paracetamol (PA), dopamine (DA), and bisphenol A (BPA).
