Abstract

Vegetable fiber based porous carbonaceous materials are highly recommended for the development of electrochemical sensors due to their unique features like cost-effectiveness, distinctive structure, sustainability, and regenerative nature. The electrochemical and catalytic activity of the sensors vary based on the surface morphology of the materials including their surface area, pore-volume, and pore size. Their performances could be enhanced by using various techniques like activation and doping. This chapter distinct the significance of various vegetable fiber derived carbonaceous materials for detecting diverse target analytes like heavy metal ions (Lead, Pb2+), biomolecules (progesterone, ascorbic acid, dopamine and uric acid), pollutants (nitrite and hydrogen peroxide), and flavonoids (rutin).
