Printable metal oxide nanostructures based chemiresistive non-biological analyte sensors

Abstract

Non-biological analyte sensing refers to the ability to detect and quantify various chemical and physical parameters present in the environment or biological samples that are not directly associated with biological entities such as cells, tissues, or organisms. The field of non-biological analyte sensing has its roots in the early detection of any analytes, and over the years, it has expanded to include a wide range of applications such as environmental monitoring, food safety, and medical diagnostics. This perspective focuses on the current status, challenges and future prospects of metal oxide nanostructures-based non-biological analyte sensors. In this context, the present review aims to delve into the intricate mechanisms, fabrication techniques, and applications of printable chemical sensors for non-biological analytes. Through a comprehensive exploration of the scientific advancements and technological breakthroughs in this domain, this review seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the evolving landscape of printable chemical sensors and their pivotal role in modern analytical endeavours.
