Abstract
Larger and more frequent recurrences of harmful algal blooms (HABs) are becoming an urgent challenge globally with potentially deadly and economically devastating consequences. HAB monitoring and remediation is a multidisciplinary field which would benefit from inputs from electrochemists. Phytoplankton cells naturally contain various biomarkers such as species-specific DNAs, toxins, and chlorophyll pigments which can be strategically targeted via electrochemistry, either directly or indirectly, for sensing purposes. In this review, we discuss recent electrochemical advances that enable early HAB warning systems with the inclusion of AI to be developed as well as the separation of algae from water via electrocoagulation methods.
期刊介绍:
The development of the Current Opinion journals stemmed from the acknowledgment of the growing challenge for specialists to stay abreast of the expanding volume of information within their field. In Current Opinion in Electrochemistry, they help the reader by providing in a systematic manner:
1.The views of experts on current advances in electrochemistry in a clear and readable form.
2.Evaluations of the most interesting papers, annotated by experts, from the great wealth of original publications.
In the realm of electrochemistry, the subject is divided into 12 themed sections, with each section undergoing an annual review cycle:
• Bioelectrochemistry • Electrocatalysis • Electrochemical Materials and Engineering • Energy Storage: Batteries and Supercapacitors • Energy Transformation • Environmental Electrochemistry • Fundamental & Theoretical Electrochemistry • Innovative Methods in Electrochemistry • Organic & Molecular Electrochemistry • Physical & Nano-Electrochemistry • Sensors & Bio-sensors •
