Carbon‐based materials applied to the development of chemically modified sensors: Trends to environmental applications**

Abstract

Nowadays, carbon‐based materials applied to the development of chemically modified sensors have been highlighted once they can generate methods with high sensitivity, stability, conductivity, accuracy and low cost. Hence, these sensors have been used in environmental monitoring in aneco‐friendlyy, sensitive, fast, efficient, inexpensive and robust way. In this review, firstly we described about carbon‐based materials and their derivatives, followed by the chemically modified carbon‐based sensors manufacturing overview and their applications in environmental analytical chemistry related to inorganic and organic compounds determinations. Future perspectives on trends of the carbon‐based materials applications in the sensor modifications are also described.
