Abstract

In the field of nanotechnology, nanocomposites have gained increasing and significant attention owing to their unique physico-chemical characteristics. This outstanding characteristic makes them a suitable candidate in various fields of application, such as electronics, sensors, biotechnology and catalysis. The development of nanocomposites has proven to be a basis for the development of accurate electrochemical sensors with low limit of detection, high sensitivity and selectivity. The high performance electrochemical sensors have found their way in various application fields, such as biomedical, analysis of food products and other environmental pollutants present in the atmosphere. In this chapter, we present a survey of the application of various tailored nanocomposites as sensing platforms for hydrazine. Particularly, electrochemical sensors based on carbon-based nanomaterials, metallic nanomaterials, and related nanocomposites are given special attention.
