Electrochemical Sensors Using Carbon Nanomaterials for Chemical and Biological Detection
This community develops highly sensitive electrochemical sensors and electrodes, primarily using carbon-based nanomaterials, to detect specific chemical compounds, heavy metals, and biological markers in various samples.
The research focuses on modifying electrodes with graphene oxide, reduced graphene, carbon nanotubes, and gold nanoparticles to enhance detection capabilities. Recurring applications include the simultaneous determination of analytes such as uric acid, ascorbic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and glucose in water samples and biological fluids. The work frequently employs voltammetric methods and molecularly imprinted polymers to achieve selective, non-enzymatic sensing. A significant portion of the literature addresses the synthesis of nanocomposites for use in biosensors and immunosensors, targeting both environmental contaminants and clinical biomarkers.
The largest share of the community's output is found in carbon research, accounting for 2.1% of all carbon research, and 19,525 papers here. Gold research follows with a 2.8% share, representing 5,739 papers.
The community comprises 55,375 papers, publishing most frequently in Analytica Chimica Acta, Talanta, and Electroanalysis.
Recent work continues to focus on the development of wearable and smartphone-integrated electrochemical devices for continuous biomarker monitoring and environmental contaminant detection, alongside advancements in green analytical chemistry and AI-assisted sensor design.
