“…8,9 Nevertheless, effective sensing can only be achieved if the sensing materials can offer high analytical performance in terms of sensitivity, selectivity, and stability. 10,11 Electrochemical detection of hormones has been made with fluorine-doped tin oxide electrodes, 12 indium tin oxide electrodes, 13 hanging mercury drop electrodes, 14 glassy carbon electrodes, 15 boron-doped diamond electrodes, 16 carbon paste electrodes, 17 screen-printed carbon electrodes, 18 and carbon papers 19 incorporated with carbon nanotubes, 15 reduced graphene oxide, 20 phthalocyanine, 13 and metal and metal oxide nanoparticles of gold, 15 silver, 21 palladium, 22 ruthenium, 23 and iron oxide. 13 One of the main challenges in designing electrochemical sensors for hormones is to reach high sensitivity, which is often provided by a large electrode surface area and efficient electron transfer, while specificity prevents interference of other compounds found in water matrices.…”
