Explosive TNT is the most important weapon energy source in military activities. It not only has a powerful damaging effect， but also has chemical toxicity. Even a trace amount of TNT will pose a serious threat to the natural environment and human health. Therefore， the development of trace explosive detection technology with high sensitivity， high accuracy and fast response has far-reaching research significance for protecting the ecological environment and maintaining human health. Among many trace detection technologies， biosensing technology has the advantages of good selectivity， simple synthesis， fast response and high sensitivity， and has good application prospects. This paper reviews the research progress of biosensor technology in the detection of trace explosives in recent years， focusing on the advantages and limitations of five types of biosensors： antibody immunity， peptides， aptamers， enzymes and multi-parameter loading. Among them， the sensor prepared based on aptamer has good affinity and specificity for explosive molecules， the detection limit is 1000 times lower than other types of sensors， and has good stability， easy modification and modification， and strong structural expansion ability. Future research will focus on the construction of high-throughput trace explosives sensing systems based on bioreceptor components such as aptamers， combined with neural network algorithms and machine learning to construct biosensors with multiple detection and bionic remote sensing properties.
