Abstract
This chapter provides a summary of the significance and necessity of H2O2 sensing to avoid abnormal amounts of H2O2 in the human body, which can provoke serious illnesses including Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disorders. The chapter continues with three subtopics that gives a detailed explanation of the role of graphene-based nanocomposites in this field: the sensing mechanism of H2O2, techniques for H2O2 sensing by graphene-based nanocomposites, and graphene nanocomposite-based transducers for H2O2 sensing.
