Graphene-Based Electrochemical Sensors for Biomolecules

Graphene and graphene-based nanomaterials have gained great attention owing to their unique properties of high mechanical flexibility, large surface area, chemical stability, superior electric and thermal conductivities that render them great choices as alternative electrode materials for electrochemical energy storage and sensor applications. The hybridization of graphene with other nanomaterials induces a synergetic effect, leading to the improvement in electrical conductivity, stability, and enhancing the electrocatalytic activity of the new nanocomposite material. In this aspect, this book will elaborately discuss the electrochemical determination of a variety of biomolecules using graphene-based nanocomposite materials.

Ultrasensitive and selective detection of biomolecules is important and demanding, especially for the early diagnosis and treatment of diseases. In recent years, the graphene-based nanocomposite materials have shown high potential in the electrochemical detection of different biomolecules. In addition to the instrumental simplicity, the electrochemical methods show the improved sensor performance through the synergetic effect of graphene and the other nanomaterial present in the nanocomposite. Thus, detailed information on the electrochemical sensing of biomolecules using graphene-based nanomaterials must be obtained in order to realize their high potential to the maximum. The recent progress in developing electrochemical sensors using graphene-based nanocomposite materials and the perspectives on future opportunities in sensor research and development will also be discussed in this book.
