The development of advanced gas and chemical sensors and biosensors has been significantly enhanced in the last years, due to their noteworthy importance for the detection of gas and chemical substances in many advanced applications. This Symposium aims to explore the latest innovations in inorganic, organic, and hetero-structured nanomaterials, for chemical- and bio-sensor applications, with special focus on their optical, electrical, and electrochemical properties. Heterostructure-based gas sensors and bio-sensors are at the forefront of environmental monitoring and medical diagnostics, providing enhanced stability and responsiveness and offering innovative solutions for detecting a wide range of toxic gases and biochemical markers, respectively.
The use of sustainable materials in chemical sensing is also emphasized, showcasing the environmental benefits and life cycle advantages of green nanomaterials. Green and natural dyes have shown great promise in optical sensing due to their unique optical properties and tunability. Green nanocomposites, derived from environmentally friendly materials, are being developed for gas sensing and electrochemical applications, too, offering a sustainable alternative with excellent performance metrics.
While presenting and discussing the fundamental principles, synthesis, and characterization of these advanced materials, along with their practical applications in various sensing technologies, future trends and challenges in the commercialization and large-scale production of these sensors will also be discussed, providing a comprehensive overview of the current state and future potential of nanomaterial-based chemical sensor and biosensors.
