Abstract

Pharmaceutical pollutants pose a significant threat to environmental and human health due to their persistence and bioaccumulation. Electrochemical sensing has emerged as a powerful technique for detecting these contaminants with high sensitivity, selectivity, and rapid response times. Among various electrode materials, modified glassy carbon electrodes (GCEs) incorporating nanostructures have gained considerable attention for their enhanced electrochemical performance. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in the electrochemical sensing of pharmaceutical pollutants using nanostructure-modified GCEs. We discuss different types of nanomaterials, including metal nanoparticles, carbon-based nanostructures, and metal–organic frameworks, highlighting their roles in improving electron transfer, surface area, and analyte interaction. Furthermore, we explore the analytical performance of these sensors, challenges in their practical application, and future perspectives on the development of highly efficient electrochemical platforms for pharmaceutical pollutant detection.
