Electrochemical sensors based on carbon nanomaterials for acetaminophen detection: A review

• State of the art in (bio)sensors with nanomaterials for acetaminophen detection.
• Electrocatalytic effects and increase of the electroactive surface were described.
• CNT and graphenes proved to electrocatalyse acetaminophen detection.
• Critical review of the newest achievements in acetaminophen electrochemical detection.

This study describes the advancements made over the last five years in the development of electrochemical sensors and biosensors for acetaminophen detection. This study reviews the different configurations based on unmodified and chemically modified carbon nanotubes and graphene. The influence of various modifiers on the two types of materials is presented along with their role on the enhancement of the selectivity and sensitivity of (bio)sensors. The review is focused on a comparative description of the applications of carbon-based nanomaterials towards acetaminophen detection and presents the results in a critical manner.
