Advances in cutting-edge technologies including nanotechnology, micmfluidics, electronic engineering, and material science have boosted a new era in the design of robust and sensitive biosensors. In recent years, carbon black has been re-discovered in the design of electrochemical (bio)sensors thanks to its interesting electroanalytical properties, absence of treatment requirement, cost-effectiveness (c.a. 1 (sic)/Kg), and easiness in the preparation of stable dispersions. Herein, we present an overview of the literature on carbon black-based electrochemical (bio)sensors, highlighting current trends and possible challenges to this rapidly developing area, with a special focus on the fabrication of carbon black-based electrodes in the realisation of sensors and biosensors (e.g. enzymatic, immunosensors, and DNA-based).
