Abstract
AbstractTriclosan (TCS) is an antifungal and antimicrobic component used in various cosmetic, healthcare, and personal care products; therefore, many people are exposed to this compound. Literature and related studies have shown inflammatory skin conditions and endocrine disruption after exposure to TCS. Low concentrations of TCS released into environmental wastewater and soil eventually increase the toxicity. Hence, the detection and sensing of TCS is an important process. Nanostructured semiconductor materials are widely used for the selective and sensitive sensing of TCS because of their high accuracy, wide linear range, and high conductivity. This Review describes the progress made in the use of nanostructured particles such as metal oxides and metal oxide nanocomposite, multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), carbon nanodots (CNDs), graphene, molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs), organic polymers, polymer nanocomposite, quantum dots (QDs), gold nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles, and other nanoparticles as electrode active materials for the electrochemical sensing of TCS in environmental samples.
