Nanostructured Materials Use in Sensors: Their Benefits and Drawbacks

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Carbon and Oxide Nanostructures

Part of the book series: Advanced Structured Materials ((STRUCTMAT,volume 5))

Abstract

The development of nanoscale materials for optical chemical sensing applications has emerged as one of the most important research areas of interest over the past decades. In this chapter we firstly present some general aspects of nanostructured materials and give a description on the analytical aspects of sensors and sensing principles. The broad variety of nanomaterials as well as sensors’ design made us to limit our presentation, which concentrates on nanomaterials, such as quantum dots, polymer- and sol-gel-based particles. The benefits and drawbacks of the properties of these nanomaterials used in optical sensing applications are given, and the recently developed optical chemical sensors and probes based on photoluminescence are overviewed. Finally, some future trends of the nanomaterial-based optical chemical sensors are given.
