The development of modern analytical science has set a higher requirement for the sensitivity, selectivity and response speed of analytical methods. The detection and control of target molecules at the single molecule level is a challenging field that chemists have long dreamed of, and also a frontier for the development of analytical science in recent years. One of the challenges for direct analysis of single molecule by electrochemical methods is that the current caused by electron exchange of a single molecule during the redox process is too small to be detected by modern instruments. The direct electrochemical single-molecule analysis can be achieved through current amplification from massive repeat of electron exchange process on the electrode surface during redox reaction. This review summarized and compared the recent techniques and equipments for direct detection of single molecule electrochemically through amplification cycle. The future direction of development of single molecule electrochemistry was prospected too.
