Abstract
Carbon-based nanomaterials have significantly influenced the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology with multifunctional applications in various sectors including catalysis, medicine, energy, and environment. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene-based nanomaterials have been widely applied for the sensor applications due to their tunable optoelectronic, physicochemical, and electrochemical properties. A large variety of sensors have been developed for different applications. We present a detailed discussion on various types of sensors based on carbon-based nanomaterials in which electrochemical methods are applied for various analyte detections. In addition, this chapter presents overview on the functioning of the electrochemical sensors prepared using the fabricated carbon nanomaterials. The authors also explained various novel synthetic methods applied to synthesize CNTs and graphene-supported nanomaterials for the purpose of development of modern electrochemical sensors for varieties of applications targeting the analytes of interest or substances with high specificity and fast signal response.
