Scientists have recently developed a new high-performance electrochemical sensor that can detect biochar derived from pineapple waste. The sensor was developed by researchers at the University of Malaya, Malaysia, and is capable of detecting biochar at concentrations as low as 0.1mg/L. The sensor has a rapid response time of just 30 seconds and can detect biochar even in difficult environmental conditions. This new sensor could lead to major advances in the field of environmental sensing, allowing for the detection of biochar at low levels, even in the presence of other environmental contaminants. The development of this sensor could also open the door to new ways of using pineapple waste, allowing it to be reused in the form of biochar for various applications.
