  • HIGHLIGHTS
    (1) As a new detection and analysis device, the detection limit, sensitivity and linear range of the electrochemical sensor are affected by the electrode modification materials.
    (2) The advantages and disadvantages of three different biochar preparation methods and the performance parameters and technical indexes of the synthesized materials were summarized.
    (3) The latest application progress of biochar based electrochemical sensors in the analysis of environmental pollutants, drugs and biomolecules was reviewed.
    (4) The development direction of biochar based electrochemical sensors is to broaden the detection range, improve the detection performance, determine the field detection and explore the detection mechanism.

    Electrochemical sensors have become a research hotspot in the field of analytical chemistry due to their high sensitivity, good selectivity, and fast reaction rate. Using biochar materials to construct electrochemical sensors is a low cost, accessible and effective route to achieve excellent detection performance. This review summarizes the research progress of biochar based electrochemical sensors in the detection of environmental pollutants, drugs and biomolecules on the basis of briefly describing the synthesis methods and the structural properties of biochar-based materials. The synthesized biochar and the corresponding constructed sensors indicate that electrochemical sensors hold significant advantages in high-precision and high-stability chemical-signal testing. Further research will focus on optimizing the structure of carbon materials, regulating the composition of them, and preparing high-performance biochar-based materials that are more suitable for electrochemical sensors, so as to reduce the detection limit and improve the sensitivity. Besides, it is urgent to fabricate portable sensors based on biochar to determine rapid and intelligent analysis and detection, and the sensing mechanism and testing performance improvement mechanism are problems that must be deeply explored.
