This work presents a simple and rapid electrochemical method employing a conical nanochannel modified with bismuth ferrite (BFO) nanoparticles for the direct determination of 4-aminophenol (4-AP), a commonly used drug intermediate in pharmaceutical preparations. The phase pure BFO nanoparticles were synthesized by the coprecipitation technique. Subsequently, we created the single conical nanochannels within polyethylene terephthalate (PET) membranes using the asymmetric track-etching method. To facilitate the immobilization of BFO nanoparticles onto the nanochannel's surface, we initially functionalized it with poly (allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH). The BFO-modified single conical nanochannel obtained was utilized for sensing 4-AP, demonstrating significantly improved sensitivity within a linear dynamic response range from 400 μM to 1 mM, as compared to both unmodified and PAH-modified channels. To gain further insights into the interaction between BFO and 4-AP, we employed cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry techniques. Our in-depth analysis, based on scan rate voltammograms, revealed that the interaction mechanism primarily involved the adsorption phenomenon between BFO nanoparticles and 4-AP. This enhancement in sensitivity, as corroborated by the electrochemical techniques, underscores the efficacy of the BFO-modified nanochannel for 4-AP detection. Robust conical nanochannels functionalized with nanoparticles, show promise in developing highly selective, cost-effective, and portable biosensors.
