Fabrication of Nanostructured Materials with Rare-Earth Elements for Bioanalytical Applications

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Rare-Earth Metal Recovery for Green Technologies

Abstract

The use of rare-earth element-based nanomaterials plays an essential role in biomedical applications due to their luminescent (upconversion, downconversion, and permanent luminescence), magnetic properties, and absorption ability of X-rays. Rare-earth elements have been widely used for the fabrication of nanomaterials that are shown attractive properties including absence of blinking, high photostability, large Stokes shifts, extremely narrow emission lines, and long lifetimes, respectively. This book chapter explores the recent applications of rare-earth element-based nanomaterials for the detection of various biomolecules in various biofluids.
