The ever-increasing environmental pollution is a severe threat to the ecosystem’s healthy sustainability, and therefore environmental monitoring of these pollutants has become a burning issue throughout the world. In recent years, cost-effective, selective, portable, sensitive, and rapid sensing devices must be developed in urgent need. Advancement in nanotechnology has urged the use of different types of nanomaterials as an excellent electrode material to amplify the electrochemical detection in terms of long-term stability and electrocatalytic activity of the electrochemical sensors in addition to fulfill the aforementioned desires. This review article intimates significant advancement in developing the enzymatic and non-enzymatic electrochemical sensors based on different nanomaterials for the detection of resorcinol (RS) in the absence or presence of other phenolic compounds. This also concludes the current associated challenges as well as future perspectives for the analysis of RS in the environment. There is plethora of reported articles on RS sensors, but this review mainly discusses the selective reports on the applications of RS sensors.

日益严重的环境污染严重威胁着生态系统的健康可持续性，因此对这些污染物的环境监测已成为世界范围内的一个紧迫问题。近年来，迫切需要开发具有成本效益、选择性、便携、灵敏、快速的传感设备。纳米技术的进步促使使用不同类型的纳米材料作为优异的电极材料，除了满足上述要求之外，还可以在电化学传感器的长期稳定性和电催化活性方面放大电化学检测。这篇综述文章表明，在开发基于不同纳米材料的酶促和非酶促电化学传感器方面取得了重大进展，用于在不存在或存在其他酚类化合物的情况下检测间苯二酚 (RS)。这也总结了当前相关的挑战以及环境中 RS 分析的未来前景。有大量关于 RS 传感器的报道文章，但本综述主要讨论关于 RS 传感器应用的选择性报道。
