Carbon Nanomaterial-Based Sensor for the Electrocatalytic Detection of Water Pollutants
摘要
The increasing global population and the poor disposal of emerging contaminates have caused water pollution, damaging the environment and the lives of living beings. In this sense, carbon nanostructures have been widely used for electrochemical sensor development and employed in the determination of this species because they improve the electrocatalytic characteristics of sensors, promoting the emergence of new physical-chemical characteristics when combined with other nanomaterials, increasing Lewis basic-acid sites and enhancing the mass transference process. In this context, a variety of electrochemical sensors constructed with different carbon hybrid nanomaterials will be described in the review article, such as carbon black nanostructures, carbon dots, graphene oxide species, carbon nanotubes, rGO/Carbon dots, AgNP/CarbonDot/MWCNT, SiO2/ZrO2/Cdot-N, polypyrrole-3-carboxylic acid/Sb2O5/reduced graphene oxide, rGO/Carbon dots/AuNPs, CuONPS/Cdot(N) nanostructures, SiO2/Sm2O3/Carbon Modified with Meldola Blue, and others carbon nanocomposites. These modified electrodes performed excellently in the different water pollution determinations.
