Development of electrochemical sensors for trace detection of explosives and for the detection of chemical warfare agents

Cyclic voltammetry can be used to detect nitro- and aminotoluenes in soils and waters. Due to the high sensitivity of electrochemical methods, the detection of chemical substances with a low vapor pressure is also possible. In particular, the electrochemical detection of TNT, RDX, HMX and chemical warfare agents is feasible.
