Carbon‐Based Nanomaterials in Analytical Chemistry

Diagnosis of cancer using carbon nanomaterial-based biosensors

“…Fullerenes are extremely symmetrical polyhedral clusters or closed cage-like structures where each sp 2 hybridized carbon atom bonded in an arrangement of fused six and five-membered rings and these rings are formed by a total of 70 and 60 atoms, known as C70 and C60, respectively. 45 The next stable homolog after C60 is C70 followed by C74, C76, C80, C82, and so on. 46 Since their invention, fullerenes having extraordinary electrochemical properties and stability have attracted so many researchers.…”

Point-of-Care for Evaluating Antimicrobial Resistance through the Adoption of Functional Materials

“…Semiconductors, based on graphite, were used in the Space Race throughout the 1960s. In the 1990s, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology created a new type of material that could be utilized to produce solar cells . Novel carbon-based materials have widely been preferred for biosensor development due to outstanding physicochemical characteristics, such as high mechanical strength, high conductivity, appealing optical qualities, chemical flexibility etc. , Consequently, it has found use in the areas of electronics, materials science, and chemistry.…”

Graphene Oxide Nanostructures as Nanoplatforms for Delivering Natural Therapeutic Agents: Applications in Cancer Treatment, Bacterial Infections, and Bone Regeneration Medicine

“…The development of nanotechnology has produced a wide variety of carbon-based tiny materials, each with a unique nanostructure designed for a particular use. These include fullerenes, small diamonds, carbon nanocones, carbon nanohorns, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), graphene oxide (GO), and nanosized graphene oxide (NGO) [3][4][5][6][7]. The utilization of carbon-derived nanotechnologies in biomedical applications for nanomedicine and drug delivery systems (DDSs) has accelerated significantly, as indicated by trends throughout time and extensive reviews in more recent years [8][9][10][11].…”
