The prevalent use of silver nanoparticles ( A g NP s) in commercial goods has brought forth an urgent need for environmental salvation. With the global river systems being contaminated by A g NP s, fast and efficient detection systems are needed to trace the presence of A g NP s in common water to prevent detrimental effects to the public health. In this work, the detection of A g NP s via electrochemical oxidation has been achieved on a “ L ab‐on‐chip” platform. This platform provides a fast, convenient, and portable detection system for the detection of A g NP s in common water.
