Abstract

Antibiotics, valued for their remarkable efficacy, are widely employed across diverse domains. However, their rampant overuse has precipitated severe environmental and health crises, necessitating the development of efficient techniques for rapid and selective antibiotic detection. Electrochemical detection has emerged as a highly promising approach, offering unmatched advantages such as cost-effectiveness, speed, and reliability. The field has witnessed significant advancements through the innovation of advanced electrode modification materials. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of recent progress in the development and application of modified materials for antibiotic detection. Furthermore, the increasing need for real-time monitoring has spurred the development of wearable electrochemical sensors, which are revolutionizing applications in human health and food safety. Looking ahead, future research is poised to focus on synthesizing nanocomposites with superior electrochemical properties and advancing the miniaturization of sensors, promising transformative practical applications in antibiotic detection.
