Abstract

Graphene is one of the most studied materials ever, owing to its exceptional electronic, mechanical and thermal properties, which allow for many different types of application. In this review, we shall concentrate on the use of graphene and derivatives for electrochemical sensors and biosensors, where emphasis is placed on the importance of surface functionalization as this permits synergistic combinations with other nanomaterials and biomolecules. In addition to describing recent advances in graphene-based electroanalytical applications, we discuss a few examples of their use in detecting small biomolecules and in immunosensing for a few diseases using films and composites. Also discussed are the possible methods for mass production of graphene, which is key to low-cost biosensors for implantable devices and portable systems in point-of-care diagnosis. (AU)
