The on-site electrochemical detection of environmental pollutants

What is it about?

It is about the designing of electrochemical sensors for the real-time detection and monitoring of pollutants. Their appeal lies in their portability, ease of use, high sensitivity, and selectivity. To enhance their sensitivity, the surfaces of the electrodes are modified with specific materials that promote effective interactions with target analytes. These modifications enable the formation of host-guest complexes, which significantly amplify the signals associated with the analytes of interest.
