Abstract
Industrial and mining activities have polluted the environment by releasing heavy metal ions into surrounding areas. Heavy metal ions like cadmium, lead, zinc, and copper causes serious problems for human beings, including cancer, asthma, neurological issues, global warming, heart and lung ailments, and acid rain. Quantifications of these coal mine pollutants are necessary and urgent. Magnetic graphene nanocomposites with high sensitivity, selectivity, and reusability are considered promising for the detection of these heavy metal ion pollutants. Among the detection techniques, electrochemical detection has been widely accepted for its ease of operation, low cost, and rapid responsiveness. Combining these traits, we summarize the reported magnetic graphene/graphene oxide-based electrochemical sensors for detecting and subsequently removing coal pollutants like Cd, Zn, Cu, and Pb. Additionally, we discuss the advantages and challenges associated with these materials from a perspective point of view.
