Abstract: This article aims at providing a critical review of some most recent developments in the electrochemical detection and measurement of hydrogen sulphide and the related species, which are of great significance to a variety of industries and in environmental moitoring. The molecular recognition processes are initiated by using either an organic precursor or a catalytic complex, leading to extensive ranges of detection. A series of advanced chemical and simulation techniques are used to probe the mechanistic details of the analytical chemistry involved.
