Abstract

Due to the 2019 SARS-CoV-2 outbreak, low-cost, fast, and user-friendly diagnostic kits for biosensing SARS-CoV-2 in real samples employing multiple working electrodes are in high demand. Choosing SARS-CoV-2 detecting electrodes is difficult because each has advantages and limitations. Carbon-based electrochemical sensing applications have attracted attention from the electrochemical sensing community because carbon and carbon-based materials have been a godsend for testing utilizing an electrochemical platform. Carbon working electrode electrochemical platforms are cost-effective and fast. Covid-sensors use carbon-based materials because they can be easily changed (with inorganic and organic functionalities), have quick response kinetics, and are chemically resistant. Covid-19 sensing materials include graphene and graphite. This review explains how carbon materials have been employed in N and S protein electrochemical detection. Here, we discussed a carbon-based technology for SARS-CoV-2 biosensing. We've compared carbon-based electrochemical sensing to different electrodes.
