Applications of Electrochemistry at Liquid/Liquid Interfaces for Ionizable Drug Molecule Sensing

Abstract

Electrochemistry at an interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES) offers a great opportunity to be applied to electroanalytical, biological and energy related research fields. In particular, ion transfer processes across a polarized ITIES have been employed as powerful electrochemical ion sensing platforms. This review will highlight recent developments in addition to some challenges and future aspects on developing ion selective sensing platforms utilizing ITIES specific to ionizable pharmaceutical reagents (drugs).
