Abstract

Bismuth-based materials (BBMs) have attracted considerable attention in the field of electrochemical sensors due to their excellent electrical performance, biocompatibility, and environmental friendliness. This paper reviews the primary synthesis methods of BBMs, including hydrothermal/solvothermal synthesis, electrodeposition, and self-assembly, and discusses the effects of material structure, morphology, and composition on electrochemical properties. The application and technical progress of BBMs in the detection of heavy metal ions, biohormone detection, and gas detection were analyzed in detail, demonstrating that BBMs have excellent potential for application in the field of electrochemical sensors.
