Carbon Nanotubes for Clean Water

Part of the book series: Carbon Nanostructures ((CARBON))

Abstract

This chapter discusses sensing and monitoring water pollutants using carbon nanotube (CNT)-based electrochemical methods. The classes of the electrochemical methods reported for monitoring water pollutants have been described in detail, and the role of CNTs in analytical sensors has been discussed. CNTs are commonly used for modifying electrochemical sensors for water pollutants due to their high surface area and good electrical conductivity.
