Abstract

The chemical and biomedical sensors are most frequently used for detecting and monitoring the physical or chemical properties of various substances. In such biochemical sensors, the recognition elements respond to the target material that produces a detectable electrical signal, which can be correlated with the analyte concentration and the nature of the biomedical solutions. The sensing materials are the integral part to the control of a number of important industrial processes. The electronic oxide materials are suitable for a wide variety of sensing applications in the biosensor area. Although extensive research activity is devoted to the development of new sensor technology, the detail structural and sensing characteristics of each of the sensing elements and their components are not well understood yet. This article helps the need for a detailed characterization of the materials behavior, including microstructure and sensing chemistry, for the sensor research and development to meet the new technology standards.
