Abstract

In the last few years, the design and development of novel methods for the degradation and removal of pesticides followed by an analysis with high accuracy, precision, and low detection limits have proven to be a challenge in the field of environmental sciences. The use of nanocomposites (NCs) such as graphene nanocomposites (GNCs) and magnetic nanocomposites (MNCs) for degradation, removal, and sensing strategies guarantees a high sensitivity as well as selectivity for pesticide detection. This review covers the synthesis, characterization, and applications for the destruction and removal of pesticides or residues from a variety of environmental samples. In addition, pesticide detection strategies also involve spectroscopic and electrochemical detection after the separation of pesticides using NCs as the separating and degrading probes. In addition, this compiled work enhanced our knowledge of the pathway mechanisms for the degradation and removal of pesticides from a variety of samples.
