摘要

Abstract

To meet the sustainable development demands of environmental monitoring

developing high-efficiency and low-environmental-footprint sensing technologies has become a critical industry priority. This study focuses on graphene-biomass composites

systematically elucidating the molecular interaction mechanisms between biomass components and graphene

along with interface modulation strategies. It comprehensively reviews three breakthroughs in green fabrication technologies: biomolecular template-induced self-assembly

biomimetic mineralization enhancement

and solid waste resource utilization. The research delves into multidimensional performance optimization principles including electrochemical sensitivity

mechanical flexibility

and multimodal response capabilities. Through validation applications in real-time heavy metal monitoring in water bodies

intelligent identification of atmospheric volatile organic compounds

and distributed soil pollutant detection

the study identifies industrialization bottlenecks such as mass production quality control

environmental signal interference mitigation

and biosafety assessment. Future trends including AI-assisted design

self-powered system integration

and closed-loop recycling system development are explored

providing systematic material science theories and technical implementation pathways for environmentally friendly monitoring equipment development.
