A series of nanocomposites with a chemical formula of (1−x) (Al0.2La0.8TiO3) + x (BiFeO3)/ALTBF is prepared through low temperature hydrothermal method. The tetragonal phases are detected at x = 0.2 and the x = 0.4–0.8 composites show the existence of cubic phases. The transmission electron microscope pictures show the presence of well‐defined spherical particles for all composites. Furthermore, photocatalytic activity is observed for x = 0.2–0.8 composites during time intervals ranging from 0 to 240 min. The x = 0.2, 0.6, and 0.8 nanocomposites reveal the usual behavior of ac‐electrical conductivity (σac), dielectric modulus parameters (M′ and M″), and impedance parameters (Z′ and Z″). However, interestingly, x = 0.4 composite performs the negative values of electrical parameters like σac, M′, M″, and Z″. This implies that x = 0.4 composite behaves like a metamaterial possessing negative indexed electrical parameters. Therefore, x = 0.4 composite can be well suited for microwave device applications at high frequency.

Identifying and quantifying the biological concentrations of certain biomolecules such as dopamine, glucose, tyrosine, and cholesterol, etc. has become the basis for medical diagnosis in the treatment of a number of related diseases. In most cases, the concentrations of these biomolecules in biofluids like blood acts as a biomarker and becomes crucial in the treatment of diseases. On the other hand, advanced ceramics refers to oxides (alumina, zirconia), non-oxides: (carbides, borides, nitrides, silicides), Composites (particulate reinforced combinations of oxides and non-oxides), etc. This review article discusses recent developments in the field of electrochemical sensors developed using metal and metal oxide based advanced ceramics with an emphasis on developments in the field over the past five years. The article presents the key results, important findings, and interesting chemistry of biosensing advanced ceramic based electrochemical biosensors for some important biomolecules such as acetaminophen, glucose, and dopamine, etc.
