Abstract

Efficient and rapid detection methods for antibiotics are of great practical importance to achieve environmental safety and protect human health. PEC sensors have been widely employed in antibiotics analysis due to their advantages of low background signal, high sensitivity, simple operation, and wide dynamic response range. This review is focused on the recent progress in photoactivities regulating of inorganic semiconductors from metal oxides/sulfides, metal-based quantum dots to metal-free carbon nitride and various types of PEC sensors in antibiotics monitoring which covers sensing strategies without or with a recognition element (antibody, molecularly imprinted polymer and aptamer). Finally, the challenges and the development prospects of the PEC sensors for antibiotics detection are discussed.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a systematic review, done in people. Its evidence level is 1 of 5 (Highest · pooled evidence). Pooled evidence from several studies sits at the top of the evidence pyramid.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
