The widespread use of bisphenol A (BPA), a plastic additive, is becoming a troubling trend due to its harmful effects on the environment. To date, graphene-based materials (GBMs) have piqued interest among researchers in the detection and remediation of BPA attributed to their salient properties of having large surface area, high conductivity, high functionalities, etc. Recent progress in GBMs has provided researchers with a wide array of synthesis techniques for various applications. Unfortunately, literature pertaining GBMs lagged in providing up-to-date research in BPA detection and remediation. Often, published review articles focused on the wide array of pollutants detection and remediation without a specific focus on a single pollutant. Hence, this review intends to reduce the knowledge gap by focusing on the recent studies pertaining usage of GBMs applications as electrochemical-based sensors and remediators via adsorption and photocatalysis of BPA. In sensing applications, GBMs sensors have evolved to be among the preferred choice for the detection of BPA. Provided that ample comprehensive reviews on the usage of GBMs as adsorbents and photocatalyst for various pollutants have been previously published, we focused our discussion solely on BPA as the model pollutant by providing up-to-date information on their synthesis route and performance ability. Certainly, this review will be useful to new entrants and experienced researchers intending to employ GBMs as the material of interest for the detection and remediation of BPA.

使用基于石墨烯的材料检测和修复双酚 A (BPA):小型综述
双酚 A (BPA) 是一种塑料添加剂,由于其对环境的有害影响,其广泛使用正成为一种令人不安的趋势。迄今为止,石墨烯基材料 (GBMs) 因其具有大表面积、高导电性、高功能性等显着特性而引起了研究人员对 BPA 检测和修复的兴趣。 GBMs 的最新进展为研究人员提供了适用于各种应用的广泛的合成技术。不幸的是,有关 GBM 的文献在提供 BPA 检测和修复方面的最新研究方面滞后。通常,已发表的评论文章侧重于广泛的污染物检测和修复,而没有特别关注单一污染物。因此,本综述旨在通过关注最近关于通过 BPA 的吸附和光催化将 GBM 应用用作基于电化学的传感器和修复剂的研究来缩小知识差距。在传感应用中,GBM 传感器已发展成为检测 BPA 的首选。假设之前已经发表了关于 GBM 作为吸附剂和光催化剂用于各种污染物的充分综合评论,我们通过提供有关其合成路线和性能的最新信息,仅将讨论重点放在 BPA 作为模型污染物上。当然,这篇综述对于打算使用 GBM 作为检测和修复 BPA 的感兴趣材料的新进入者和有经验的研究人员是有用的。
