Abstract

Additive manufacturing or three-dimensional (3D)-printing is an emerging technology that has been applied in the development of novel materials and devices for a wide range of applications, including Electrochemistry and Analytical Chemistry areas. This review article focuses on the contributions of 3D-printing technology to the development of electrochemical sensors and complete electrochemical sensing devices. Due to the recent contributions of 3D-printing within this scenario, the aim of this review is to present a guide for new users of 3D-printing technology considering the required features for improved electrochemical sensing using 3D-printed sensors. At the same time, this is a comprehensive review that includes most 3D-printed electrochemical sensors and devices already reported using selective laser melting (SLM) and fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D-printers. The latter is the most affordable 3D-printing technique and for this reason has been more often applied for the fabrication of electrochemical sensors, also due to commercially-available conductive and non-conductive filaments. Special attention is given to critically discuss the need for the surface treatment of FDM 3D-printed platforms to improve their electrochemical performance. The insertion of biochemical and chemical catalysts on the 3D-printed surfaces are highlighted as well as novel strategies to fabricate filaments containing chemical modifiers within the polymeric matrix. Some examples of complete electrochemical sensing systems obtained by 3D-printing have successfully demonstrated the enormous potential to develop portable devices for on-site applications. The freedom of design enabled by 3D-printing opens many possibilities of forthcoming investigations in the area of analytical electrochemistry. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. (AU)
