Toxic chemicals including pesticides, organic/inorganic compounds etc. are potential threat to the environment as well as the living beings. Indeed, their end products are potential carcinogen and/or mutagens. Use of graphene has been the cutting-edge innovation in nanoengineering due to its unique electrochemical properties. The wide array of chemical modifications of graphene (also termed as functionalization) confers million adjunctive properties to the graphene and significantly improves its performance. Further, graphene-based nanomaterials provide inexpensive, reusable and eco-friendly option overcoming the limitations associated with commercially available electrochemical sensors. Recent development in functionalized graphene-based sensors holds promises for rapid and simultaneous detection of several chemicals. Future efforts aim to further improve the existing electrochemical sensors in terms of their performance for proper management of toxic and hazardous waste and protecting our ecosystem. This chapter aims to provide a comprehensive understanding on the latest researches on development of functionalized graphene-based nanomaterials for designing electrochemical sensors, engineering and fabrication of graphene for detection of different group of toxic chemicals and its role in improving the existing nanocomposite based electrochemical sensors.
