Abstract
Flexible electrochemical sensors are pioneering sensing technology by providing innovative, flexible, and user-friendly solutions to many kinds of everyday issues. These flexible sensors are essential for the next-generation uses in industry, health, and the environment because of their ability for integrating flexibility, mechanical strength, high conductivity, functionality, high sensitivity, adjustable shape, desired size, and cost-effectiveness. The importance of using flexible carbon cloth electrodes (CCE) as sensing interfaces for various analytes was thoroughly discussed in this review paper. This was followed by an overview of the electrochemical sensing concept and related technical terms. Furthermore, the composition and properties of CCE relevant to electrochemical sensing were thoroughly evaluated, as well as compared to other conventional carbonaceous working electrodes. Furthermore, by considering several types of analytes such as neurotransmitters, pharmaceuticals, food safety, and heavy metal detection, it was showed that modifications and different approaches were required to create an effective CCE-based sensing interface. Overall, in this review study, we critically examine and attempt to narrow the gap between the principles of electrochemical sensors and the importance of flexible CCE in next generation cutting-edge applications.
期刊介绍:
Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials is a leading international journal that promotes interdisciplinary collaboration among materials scientists, engineers, chemists, biologists, and physicists working on composites, including nanocomposites. Our aim is to facilitate rapid scientific communication in this field.
The journal publishes high-quality research on various aspects of composite materials, including materials design, surface and interface science/engineering, manufacturing, structure control, property design, device fabrication, and other applications. We also welcome simulation and modeling studies that are relevant to composites. Additionally, papers focusing on the relationship between fillers and the matrix are of particular interest.
Our scope includes polymer, metal, and ceramic matrices, with a special emphasis on reviews and meta-analyses related to materials selection. We cover a wide range of topics, including transport properties, strategies for controlling interfaces and composition distribution, bottom-up assembly of nanocomposites, highly porous and high-density composites, electronic structure design, materials synergisms, and thermoelectric materials.
Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials follows a rigorous single-blind peer-review process to ensure the quality and integrity of the published work.
