Sensing Materials: Carbon Materials

Ferrari, A; Crapnell, RD; Banks, CE

Abstract

Carbon materials, from their traditional forms such as graphite or carbon black, to the more novel forms such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene, graphene oxide (GO), and their variants have been used extensively transducer elements for sensing platforms. In this chapter, we explore the variety of carbon shapes and nanomaterials, their synthesis methods and their applications as the basis of electrochemical sensors. These include different carbon allotropes utilized within the literature but also recent advances in manufacturing solutions such as 2D printing and additive manufacturing (3D printing) of graphitic structures for their applications to sensors.
