Green molecularly imprinted polymer-based electrochemical sensors: Toward sustainable analytical applications
Abstract
The escalating global pollution crisis, driven by population growth, urbanization, industrialization, and overconsumption, poses significant risks to ecosystems, environmental sustainability, and human health. Green molecular recognition strategies, particularly molecularly imprinted polymer-based electrochemical sensors, offer highly selective and sensitive platforms for pollutant detection, mimicking natural biological recognition sites while providing stability, reusability, and cost-effectiveness. Plant-assisted MIP-based electrochemical sensors represent a sustainable approach that integrates renewable and biodegradable materials to reduce the environmental footprint of traditional analytical techniques. Various construction methods for green MIPs, including energy-efficient polymerization techniques and sustainable solvents, further enhance environmental compatibility without compromising analytical performance. Plant-based materials play a crucial role in MIP fabrication by enhancing biocompatibility, mechanical stability, and functional versatility. Electrochemical MIP sensor development benefits from plants by enabling portable, in situ detection platforms for real-world environmental sample analysis and pollutant tracking in industrial and agricultural settings. Analytical applications of green MIPs demonstrate high selectivity and sensitivity toward a wide range of contaminants, including pollutants, pharmaceuticals, and biomolecules, highlighting their potential…
