TLDR
A growing number of applications of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in analytical chemistry are discussed in this paper, where the largest number of reported applications concern design of novel gas sensors, voltammetry, enzymatic biosensors, immunosensors and DNA probes.Abstract:
Discoveries of new materials have significant impact on development of new methods and instrumentation for chemical analysis. Based on 104 references, this article illustrates a growing number of applications of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in analytical chemistry. The largest numbers of reported applications concern design of novel gas sensors, voltammetry, enzymatic biosensors, immunosensors and DNA probes. The sorptive properties of CNTs are also employed for analytical purposes in various ways.read more
