Abstract

Several hybrid sensing materials, which are organized by interaction of organic molecules onto inorganic supports, have been developed as a novel and hopeful class of hybrid sensing probes. The hybrid silica-magnetic based sensors provide perfect properties for production of various devices in sensing technology. The hybridization of silica and magnetic NPs as biocompatible, biodegradable and superparamagnetic structures provides the opportunity to produce capable sensing materials. The fluorescence, electrochemical and calorimetric sensors based on silica-magnetic materials can be applied in quantitative detection of various analytes. This review touches upon a subject of the design and synthesis of different sensors based on magnetic-silica hybrid nanomaterials and discusses their applications for improved detection of analytes in environmental and biological fields.
