Submission status
Closed
With the development of nanoscience and nanotechnology, various nanomaterials, including 0D, 1D and 2D nanomaterials have been synthesized and explored. Taking advantages of their unique physical and chemical properties, different nanomaterials have been used for the development of electrochemical (bio-)sensors, and many promising electrochemical assaying systems with attractive sensing performances, such as enhanced sensitivity and lowered limit of detection, have been constructed for the detection of various biomolecules and biomarkers. The major advantages of using nanomaterials in electrochemical (bio-)sensors include but are not limited to: enlarged electroactive surface area, enhanced electron transfer and catalytic property, unique substrate for immobilization of probes, and providing sensing signals. This topical collection is focused on the synthesis of truly novel functional nanomaterials with unique properties/structures, and the use of such nanoparticles for electrochemical (bio-)sensors with groundbreaking applications.
