Some of the advantages and disadvantages of different electrochemical transducers.

Type of detection method Advantages Disadvantages Ref.
Potentiometric Simple assembly technique, mass production, cost-effective, simple monitoring instrument/in field detection, fast operation, high sensitivity towards targeted ions, easy management system for POC measurement Low selectivity, temperature-dependent system, impact solution changes, enormous mistake caused by logarithmic response, need additional components such as B. For signal amplification as the potential depends on the concentration of the analyte 80–82
Voltammetric Real-time detection, simultaneous analysis of several samples Environmentally sensitive, time consuming, and temperature sensitive 83 and 84
Impedometric Small amplitude perturbation from steady state The sensitivity of measurement depends on the technical accuracy of the equipment and on the operating techniques 85 and 86
Piezoelectric High frequency response, high sensitivity, high accuracy, high dynamic range Poor spatial resolution, dynamic sensing only, charge leakages 87
