Abstract

This chapter covers the advances in the development of a variety of composite materials ranging from noble metal/metal oxide nanoparticles, carbon composites, polymer composites and metal-organic framework-based composite materials specific to glucose. The advantages of nanocomposites as ‘electrode materials’ have been highlighted. The utilization of above-mentioned nanocomposites in non-enzymatic glucose sensors and their mechanism has been discussed. Further, special attention has been given to the MOF-based nanocomposites, which elaborates the applications of MOF-based materials in biosensing in recent years. This chapter gives an overall view of various nanocomposites used as electrochemical glucose sensors and opens up a new trend in materials science research to engineer advanced functional materials with tailor-made properties to suit relevant real-time applications within electroanalysis.
