Potentiometric Nanostructured Sensors

The use of nanostructured materials has promoted a new impulse in the chemical sensors area. Electrochemical sensors have taken advantage of the new properties associated with the nanometer-sized objects, and these properties have greatly influenced the performance and operational parameters of the sensing devices. This article provides an overview of the advantages and limitations of different nanomaterials used for the development of the potentiometric sensors. Different dimensional structures, from nanoparticles to graphene, have been used as elements in the recognition layer or the transducers of field-effect transistors and potentiometric electrodes. Moreover, the introduction of nanomaterials has enabled the development of new miniaturized sensors that display good performance, rapid responses, and reduced cost and are easy to use. These sensors can be used in situ or incorporated in garments and other everyday life objects. That is, the era of wearable chemical sensors has started.
