Advances in Electrochemical Sensor Applications Using Nano-structured MaterialsCheck Access

Various nanomaterials can be used as possible electrocatalysts for the determination of huge amounts of bioactive compounds, surfactants, dyes, toxic chemicals, food additives, fertilizers, heavy metals, etc. The detection of such compounds in the human body, the environment, food or water is very important for our safety and well-being.

There are many methods available to detect these compounds and determine their concentration, but electrochemical methods are proved to be:

• Highly responsive

• Comparatively inexpensive

• Sensitive

• Simple

This state-of-the-art book focuses on recent electrochemical and nanomaterials research, taking the reader from basic principles to recent advances, before discussing different techniques and tools for determining the presence of a variety of compounds.

Written for academics working in the fields of electrochemistry, nanomaterials, and biomedical and materials engineering, this book is edited by Dr Shashanka Rajendrachari of SR University, Warangal, India.
