Conductive fabrics electrodeposited with Iridium Oxide films can measure pH change. A fully stretched Stainless steel mesh shows the best overall response to pH change. A sweat pH measurement in human skin shows a relative error of 4% when compared with a standard method *Research Highlights
In recent years, several devices have been developed for the direct measurement of hydrogen peroxide (), a key compound in biological processes and an important chemical reagent in industrial applications. Classical enzymatic biosensors for have been recently outclassed by electrochemical sensors that take advantage of material properties in the nano range. Electrodes with metal nanoparticles (NPs) such as Pt, Au, Pd and Ag have been widely used, often in combination with organic and inorganic molecules to improve the sensing capabilities. In this review, we present an overview of nanomaterials, molecules, polymers, and transduction methods used in the optimization of electrochemical sensors for sensing. The different devices are compared on the basis of the sensitivity values, the limit of detection (LOD) and the linear range of application reported in the literature. The review aims to provide an overview of the advantages associated with different nanostructures to assess which one best suits a target application.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
