  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Handbook of II-VI Semiconductor-Based Sensors and Radiation Detectors

Abstract

II–VI semiconducting nanomaterials have been attracting a great deal of interests in sensors and biosensors development for decades owing to their excellent optical, catalytic, sensing and electrochemical properties, etc, especially for food analysis and food safety field in recent years. In this book chapter, we comprehensively introduce and analyze the recent progress of II–VI semiconducting nanomaterials in food analysis and food safety. More importantly, we discuss the application and analytical performance of different types of II–VI semiconducting nanomaterials like zinc sulfide (ZnS), cadmium selenide (CdSe), etc, in certain food matrix. In addition, challenges and limitations of such sensing platforms were commented for their versatile value. Ultimately, conclusion and future prospects were summarized.
