A Review of the Construction of Nano-Hybrids for Electrochemical Biosensing of Glucose

Abstract

Continuous progress in the domain of nano and material science has led to modulation ofthe properties of nanomaterials in a controlled and desired fashion. In this sense, nanomaterials,including carbon-based materials, metals and metal oxides, and composite/hybrid materials haveattracted extensive interest with regard to the construction of electrochemical biosensors. Themodification of a working electrode with a combination of two or three nanomaterials in the formof nano-composite/nano-hybrids has revealed good results with very good reproducibility, stability,and improved sensitivity. This review paper is focused on discussing the possible constructs ofnano-hybrids and their subsequent use in the construction of electrochemical glucose biosensors.
