Nanowires for Biosensors

Abstract

Strong biomedicine sensors may enable the detection and classification of chemical and biological species in a wide range of applications, from illness diagnosis to medicine development, thus increasing the possibility of life-saving and intervention. Over the previous decade, synthetic nanomaterials, particularly nanowire materials, have already led to advances in a range of fields, including biological sensors. When compared to macro-sized materials, the huge surface area-to-volume ratio of nanowire dramatically boosted sensitivity. Its applications in the detection of biomarkers, viruses, and coronaviruses (COVID-19), as well as illness diagnostics, are also highlighted. Recent advancements include self-powering, renewability, sensitivities in high ionic strength solvents, and long-term stability. Nanowires are expected to significantly enhance biological sensors in the near future. This book chapter gives a comprehensive explanation of the nanowire sensor’s operation and manufacturing process.
