Abstract

Biosensors are briefly discussed in this chapter. Components, properties and types of biosensors are discussed. Nanomaterials having 1D, 2D and 3D materials and their application as biosensors are described. The surface chemistry of biomolecules with nanostructured materials iswell explored. Nanomaterials improve selectivity, sensitivity, response rate and reduce the cost of fabrication. Ultrasensitive biosensors with higher efficiency have been fabricated by using carbonaceous materials (CNTs, GO, rGO, CNF), metals, metal oxides, conducting polymers, functionalized materials and composites. The exceptional properties of the nanostructured materials such as surface area, biocompatibility, optical and electrochemical properties have been explored to improve the selectivity and sensitivity of the biosensors.
