ABSTRACT

Graphene (GR), a single-atom-thick nanostructured sheet arranged in a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice, has attracted tremendous research interest due to its distinctive properties, such as superior chemical and mechanical stability, large specic surface area, and extraordinary electronic transport properties. Owing to these unique properties, GR can greatly improve the performance of electrochemical responses and have attracted considerable attention in the eld of electrochemistry and bioelectrochemistry. The application of GR as a kind of novel electrochemical sensing material is a most promising research hotspot. In this chapter , we examine the use of GR and GR-derived materials in electrochemical sensors. In the rst part, we will overview those aspects of GR’s properties most relevant to electrochemical applications and then examine the latest advances in electrochemical sensors made from GR derivatives and in the second part of the

chapter, the effects of GR as an electrode modier will be compared with other modiers.
