Preparation of electrochemical sensors based on conducting polymers for the determination of emergent pollutants

Chemical waste from different industries and residential areas have become an issue for the environment. Particularly, phenolic compounds, nitrites, pharmaceuticals, nitroaromatic compounds and hydrogen peroxide are hazardous and toxic environmental pollutants released into aquatic ecosystems. Recently, efforts have focused in real-time, quantitative and fast detection methods because commonly used approaches do not fulfill these requirements. In this work, recent progress in conducting polymers (CPs) based electrochemical sensors are reviewed in the last five years, as a promising system for fast, accurate and sensitive detection method for aqueous environmental contaminants. Special focus is put into the preparation and elaboration of the CPs based electrodes for developing microstructures and networks, which can be widely diverse, going from linear structures to tridimensional arrays.
