Cover Story: Single-atom nanomaterials (SANs) with high atom utilization efficiency and homogenous active sites have been utilized for the construction of electrochemical sensors, which are favorable for improving the sensitivity and selectivity of detection. In this review, we first describe the characteristics and advantages of SANs. Strategies to improve the performance of sensors by modulating the active centers, including metal atoms and their coordination environments, of noble metal-based and non-noble metal-based SANs are then presented. Subsequently, the construction of electrochemical, electrochemiluminescent and photoelectrochemical sensors based on SANs and their applications in biochemical and environmental analysis are summarized. Finally, the potential and challenges of SANs for electrochemical sensing applications are outlined. View this paper
