The enzymatic electrochemical biosensor has the advantages of simple operation, speed, and integration in the detection of organophosphorus pesticide (OPs) residues. It has the potential to become the best alternative to the traditional OP detection technology. This article introduces the OP identification principle of different enzymes, the OP detection mechanism of several common sensors, and the enzyme assembly method. In addition, the article discusses application of nanomaterials in sensor preparation and sensor performance parameters in the past decade. The related content of early sensors is outside the scope of this article.
Keywords: carrier material; cholinesterase; electrochemical sensor; organophosphorus pesticides.
