2D materials such as borophenes, graphene, graphitic carbon nitride and Mxenes are becoming the materials of choice for a range of applications such as electrochemical sensing, electrochemical water splitting and charge storage applications. The fabrication of electrodes using 2D materials is an area of significant interest given that they exhibit unique nanostructured and electrochemical properties. This proposed issue will bring together the progress, challenges and opportunities in the utilization of 2D materials for electrochemical and biosensing.
Electrochemical and biosensors are of great interest compared to conventional analytical methods due to their simplicity, low cost and potential for in-field analysis. Electrochemical sensors provide rapid sensitive detection and they generally do not require sophisticated instrumentation and expertise. The selection of electrode materials is a key component to achieve the desired electrochemical sensor selectivity and stability.
Recent advances in the synthesis of 2D materials have led to the development of materials with inherent advantages in that they are capable of allowing targeted reactions on one side and the ability of charge transfer to occur on the other. These properties provide an opportunity to construct 2D material-based electrodes for applications relating to electrochemical sensing. Emerging 2D materials include borophene, graphitic carbon nitride, 2D metal organic frameworks, metal chalcogenides, metal nitrides and several others. Theoretical and experimental studies to explore the practical applications of these materials are on the rise and provide an opportunity to attain the required sensing properties which are not imaginable with conventional electrode materials. This issue will bring together the advancements in electrode materials for electrochemical sensing and biological sensing materials.
