Abstract

ABSTRACTGraphene quantum dots (GQDs) have emerged as promising nanomaterials for electrochemical sensing due to their unique optical, electronic and catalytic properties. GQDs can be synthesised using top-down and bottom-up approaches, with green synthesis gaining popularity. The size, surface chemistry and doping of GQDs affect their electrochemical performance for sensing applications. GQDs enhance electron transfer and provide catalytic sites for signal amplification in electrochemical sensors for diverse analytes including neurotransmitters, biomarkers, metal ions and pollutants. However, challenges remain in improving GQD synthesis yield, property control, sensor stability and selectivity. This review summarises recent advances in GQD synthesis methods, strategies for property modulation, and applications in electrochemical sensors for biomedical, environmental and food analysis. The unique properties of GQDs that enable enhanced sensitivity and selectivity of sensors are discussed. Future research directions to address current challenges and realise the full potential of GQDs for next-generation sensor technology are also presented.KEYWORDS: Graphene quantum dotselectrochemical sensingpropertiesapplicationssensorsbiosensors Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

期刊介绍： International Journal of Environmental Analytical Chemistry comprises original research on all aspects of analytical work related to environmental problems. This includes analysis of organic, inorganic and radioactive pollutants in air, water, sediments and biota; and determination of harmful substances, including analytical methods for the investigation of chemical or metabolic breakdown patterns in the environment and in biological samples. The journal also covers the development of new analytical methods or improvement of existing ones useful for the control and investigation of pollutants or trace amounts of naturally occurring active chemicals in all environmental compartments. Development, modification and automation of instruments and techniques with potential in environment sciences are also part of the journal. Case studies are also considered, particularly for areas where information is scarce or lacking, providing that reported data is significant and representative, either spatially or temporally, and quality assured. Owing to the interdisciplinary nature of this journal, it will also include topics of interest to researchers in the fields of medical science (health sciences), toxicology, forensic sciences, oceanography, food sciences, biological sciences and other fields that, in one way or another, contribute to the knowledge of our environment and have to make use of analytical chemistry for this purpose.
