Abstract
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are key pollutants due to their persistence, refractory biodegradation, high toxicity and bioaccumulation in the food chain. This review (with 93 refs.) covers the progress made in the past decades in the application of carbonaceous materials for electrochemical detection of POPs as listed in the Stockholm Convention. Following an introduction into the field, typical carbonaceous materials for use in electrodes are discussed, with subsection on carbon nanotubes, graphene, reduced graphene oxide, graphitic carbon nitride and carbon dots. This is followed by a section on application of carbonaceous materials in electrochemical detection, with subsections on the use of carbon nanotubes, of (doped-) graphene, of reduced graphene oxide, of graphitic carbon nitride, and of carbon dots. The review concludes with conclusions and future perspectives. The detection mechanisms of POPs are also discussed.
