Graphene-Based Electrochemical Sensors for Biomolecules presents the latest on these nanomaterials that have gained a lot of attention based on 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 an enhancement of the electrocatalytic activity of the new nanocomposite material. This book discusses the electrochemical determination of a variety of biomolecules using graphene-based nanocomposite materials.

Finally, recent progress in the development of electrochemical sensors using graphene-based nanocomposite materials and perspectives on future opportunities in sensor research and development are discussed in detail.

Zielgruppe

<i> <p>This book is for early carrier researchers and engineers not only academics but also industries. It is because so many books have been published in nanoscale materials-based sensors. But no book has been published in electrochemical sensing of biomolecules using graphene-based nanocomposite materials. So this book will extensively focus on graphene-based nanocomposite materials for electrochemical determination of biomolecules.</p></i>
