Recent advances in nanoparticle–based potentiometric sensors

Abstract

Nanomaterials have become an important research topic in recent years due to the advantages they provide. Nanoparticles, which can be especially applied in many areas of industry, also come to the fore as sensor materials. Potentiometry-based devices offer significant advantages including wide concentration range, short response time, low cost, low detection limit, high selectivity and sensitivity. These important advantages allow potentiometric devices to be successfully applied in many fields such as food, environmental monitoring, medicine, pharmacy, industry and agriculture. In this mini review, we present a perspective on sensor and biosensor devices prepared with the unique properties of nanoparticles and potentiometry technique.
