Abstract
Carbon nano‐onions (CNOs) promise to improve the range of applications of carbon materials for electroanalytical applications. In this review we explore the synthesis, characterization, and electrochemical applications of CNOs. CNOs‐based sensors present impressive features, including low detection limits in the femtogram per milliliter range, a wide linear detection range spanning up to 7 orders of magnitude, exceptional selectivity, reproducibility, and stability. Synthetic methods and characterization techniques for CNOs were thoroughly examined, shedding light on their pivotal role in biosensing technologies. Comparative analyses with other carbon materials underscore CNOs' competitive performance, either surpassing or matching many counterparts. Despite their relatively recent integration in biosensing applications, CNOs exhibit comparable or superior results concerning other carbon‐based materials. Indeed, the incorporation of CNOs into hybrid nanocomposites have shown promising outcomes, indicating a synergistic potential for future advancements in biosensing technologies. Our review provides a broad approach of the application of CNOs to the field, with emphasis in breakthroughs of the last 5 years.
