Abstract
The robust, sensitive, and selective finding of various biomolecules and
environmental factors by potential nanostructures holds much promise for accurate
electrochemical sensors. However, to be competitive, present electrochemical sensor
technologies need noteworthy developments, particularly in specificity output rate, and
long-lasting steadiness in complex biological environments. Bimetallic carbon
nanocomposites are newly emerging materials with fascinating physicochemical
properties and are very prospective in the innovative point-of-care study of various
healthcare issues. Particularly, the multidimensionality of bimetallic carbon composites
and their structural, optical, electronic, and electrocatalytic properties are suitable for
the design of various electrochemical sensing devices. This chapter summarizes the
sensing applications of bimetallic @C and its modern advances in the detection of
different analytes. The chapter begins with a brief introduction to the advancement of
bimetallic @C based electrochemical sensors followed by the discussion of the
structure and properties of the bimetallic @C nanocomposites. We also discuss in
detail the utilization of these bimetallic @C nanocomposites with graphene, MWCNTs,
CQDs, and g-C3N4
for their worthwhile application in electrochemical sensors. Finally,
the chapter concludes with a positive outlook on the use of bimetallic @C
nanocomposites for day-to-day life and clinical applications based on the present
growth.
