ABSTRACT
Nitrite has been widely used in industrial and agricultural production,and is commonly found in food,drinking water,biology sample and environment.However,nitrite is a toxic inorganic pollutant that is very harmful to the health of human.A variety of strategies have been proposed for nitrite detection in recent years.Electrochemical approaches have gained more and more attention owing to simplicity,rapidity,sensitivity,low cost,etc.The research progresses of nanocomposite material sensor for electrochemical detection of nitrite based on carbon material,metal material,metal organic frameworks,and conducting polymer and enzyme in recent years are introduced from the perspective of composite electrode modification layer.The construction approaches and sensing performances of modified electrode are put special emphasis.At last,future trends of nitrite electrochemical sensor are also discussed.
