Fluorescence sensing by carbon nanoparticles

Abstract

Sensing is one of the most important fields in which chemists, engineers and other scientists are involved to realize sensoristic devices that can detect different analytes, both chemicals and biologicals. In this context, fluorescence sensing paves the way for the realization of smart sensoristic devices due to the possibility to detect the target analyte via a change in colour or emission. Recently (since 2006), carbon nanoparticles, which are a “new class” of nanostructures based on carbon atoms, have been widely used in sensing applications due to their intriguing optical properties. The scientific literature on this topic started from 2006 and a progressive increase in the corresponding number of publications has been observed. This review summarises the application of carbon nanoparticles in the sensing field, focusing on chemical and ion sensing.
