Oxide nanoparticles
Oxide nanoparticles have received wide attention in electroanalysis for the detection of biomolecules. The significant advantage of metal oxide nanoparticles are: (i) structural changes that allow the altering of lattice symmetry and cell parameters, (ii) a change in electrochemical characteristics due to the quantum confinement effect, and (iii) change in surface properties leading to a drastic increase in the band gap that influences the conductivity and the chemical activity of the nanoparticles. Another important property is their biocompatibility toward the immobilization of enzymes that aid in selective sensing of biomolecules.
