Abstract
The escalating concern over environmental pollutants, particularly brominated flame retardants (BFRs), demands sophisticated detection methodologies for compounds like Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) and Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD). Amidst these challenges, advancements in electrochemical detection have notably focused on the integration of inorganic modifiers within carbon electrodes. Inorganic nanoparticles, known for their catalytic and surface-enhancing properties, play a pivotal role in augmenting the sensitivity and selectivity of electrode-based detection systems. These modifiers, encompassing materials such as graphene, CeO2 nanocubes, and metal-organic frameworks, among others, have revolutionized the capabilities of carbon-based electrodes in accurately identifying specific BFRs.
