Characteristics and Applicability Analysis of Nanomorphological Structures for Chemosensors: A Systematic Review

Abstract

The necessity for complex functionality materials is increasing due to the emergence of high-tech technologies and the deepening needs of B-to-B companies in the industry. Study on advanced multifunctional materials is also increasing due to interest in fields such as the the Internet of Things (IOT), Fourth Industrial Revolution, and artificial intelligence (AI). Nanomaterials have the advantage of having a large surface area, making it easier to express more efficient properties, and they have been widely applied recently in various fields. When designing new materials for specific applications, it is often important to control the shape, size distribution, surface properties, dispersion, and agglomeration stability of synthetic nanoparticles, as well as the elemental and nanocrystalline compositions of the materials. Nanomaterials have infinite potential, but there are not many cases of collection and structural classification. Therefore, I attempted to conduct an in-depth systematic review by categorizing nanomaterials into nanoparticles, nanoplates, nanowires, and nanorolls according to their nanostructures. Additionally, the representative materials of nanowires include CuNW (copper nanowire), AgNW (silver nanowire), and GaAsP single nanowire. Moreover, nanoroll-type materials include SWCNTs (single-walled carbon nanotubes), DWCNTs (double-walled carbon nanotubes), and MWCNTs (multi-walled carbon nanotubes). In conclusion, this study, through a systematic review, is intended to provide a cornerstone for application plans when designing cutting-edge chemosensors.
