Abstract

Advent of advanced analytical techniques for nanoscale characterization complemented by novel synthesis methodologies has led to a plethora of functional nanomaterials. These nanomaterials have opened avenues for application of electrochemical sensors in medical diagnostics, biotechnological, environmental monitoring, wellness monitoring and food markets. This chapter presents an overview of the accomplishments of electrochemical sensor devices based on carbon nanomaterials, noble metals, nanostructured polymers, and metal/metal oxides/composite nanostructures. Also, attempt is made to address several concerns around the selection of appropriate nanomaterials, their characterization and means to utilize the interesting chemistry they offer, especially from the point of view of electrochemical sensing.
