Cadmium telluride (CdTe) quantum dots have emerged as versatile nanomaterials for constructing highly sensitive analytical platforms for trace contaminant detection. Their unique size-dependent electronic structure, tunable surface chemistry, and compatibility with hybrid interfaces enable diverse signal transduction modes across electrochemical, electrochemiluminescent, and redox-responsive sensing systems. This review systematically examines recent advances in CdTe quantum-dot-based sensors, focusing on their roles in converting molecular recognition events into measurable analytical signals through distinct but interconnected transduction strategies. This review provides, for the first time, a unified perspective on CdTe quantum-dot (QD) sensing platforms categorized according to electrochemical detection architectures, electrochemiluminescent emission systems, and redox-driven signal modulation approaches. Particular attention is given to hybrid nanointerfaces, doped QD systems, and molecularly engineered recognition layers that enhance sensitivity and analytical performance in trace-level contaminant detection. The integration of CdTe quantum dots with carbon nanostructures, biomolecular recognition elements, and redox-active species is highlighted as a key design direction for improving selectivity and signal efficiency. Finally, emerging trends in system integration, analytical reliability, and application-oriented development are outlined to support future advancements in environmental monitoring and food safety analysis.
