Current Developments in CuS Based Hybrid Nanocomposite for Electrochemical Biosensor Application: A Short Review

Abstract

Development of rational synthesis methods for the hybrid metal chalcogenides is of great importance nowadays, due to their promising synergistic effect. The hybrid nanocomposites with well-defined nanostructures offers unique properties and fascinating applications. Recently, the CuS and its hybrid structures are largely adopted for the electrochemical sensor applications. In this review article, we have attempted to provide brief overview about synthesis and structural features of selected CuS and their composites. The review provide more detailed insights into their electrochemical sensor property with respect to selected biomolecule, such as glucose, tertazine, dopamine, hydrazine, Xanthine, and bisphenol A. In addition to the electrochemical sensing property of pure CuS, the importance of hybrid CuS with other nanomaterials, such as carbon fibers, and rGO, is also discussed in detail. Finally, this review provides summary and future scope of this work. This review would be very helpful for those who are working on copper sulfide based sensors to design their experiments and correlate their experimental results.
