6 - Functionalized carbon material-based electrochemical sensors for day-to-day applications

Abstract

In recent years, electrochemical biosensors have received much attention due to their characteristics such as being easy to use, being affordable, sensitive, and mobile. The types of these sensors can be sorted as amperometric sensors, electrochemical impedance sensors, and electrochemical luminescence sensors, and photoelectrochemical sensors. Thanks to their recognition of electrochemical changes in their field of use, these sensors offer very different applications and detection opportunities for analyzing chemical and biological differences. This leads to a wide range of analyses with the help of a variety of sensors, making them more and more effective in everyday life. One of the main elements to be considered in biosensor applications is simplicity and economy. At the same time, the accuracy and repeatability, and reliability of the measurements are also important. It is very important that it gives only appropriate values for the analysis, that is, original to the targeted study. Biosensors produced with highly sensitive nanomaterials offer highly advanced technological applications in the early diagnosis of diseases. Even for these applications, it is aimed that they can be applied at home, at work or wherever desired without going to a health care facility, which will lead to a breakthrough in the early diagnosis and treatment of diseases. For this reason, it offers the study of electrochemical biosensors and nanomaterials used in the construction of these biosensors. In addition, thanks to this study, it is aimed to give information about different medical applications of electrochemical biosensors. This topic has been tried to be conveyed through a multidisciplinary approach such as chemistry, biology, medicine, medical medicine, nanomaterial synthesis, and applications.
