Impact of nano-morphology, lattice defects and conductivity on the performance of graphene based electrochemical biosensors

J Nanobiotechnology. 2019 Oct 3;17(1):101. doi: 10.1186/s12951-019-0535-6.

Abstract

Diverse properties of graphenic materials have been extensively explored to determine properties that make good electrochemical nanomaterial-based biosensors. These are reviewed by critically examining the influence of graphene nano-morphology, lattice defects and conductivity. Stability, reproducibility and fabrication are discussed together with sensitivity and selectivity. We provide an outlook on future directions for building efficient electrochemical biosensors.

Keywords: Biosensors; Electrochemistry; Graphene; Morphology, Lattice defects.
