Abstract

Recent advances in pH-responsive materials have prompted the development of pH-responsive electrochemical systems. Up to date, many types of electrochemical reactions have been incorporated into pH-responsive electrochemical systems. The intelligent electrochemical interfaces have been widely used in many applications. The present review shows the recent progress in the combination of pH-responsive materials, including inorganic, organic and biological materials, with various redox species for constructing the pH-responsive electrochemical interfaces.

Keywords: pH-responsive materials, pH-responsive electrochemical interaces, polymers, carbon nanotubes.
