This review focuses on recent advances in the application of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for the development of sensors and biosensors. The paper discusses various configurations of these devices, including their integration in analytical devices. Carbon nanotube-based sensors have been developed for a broad range of applications including electrochemical sensors for food safety, optical sensors for heavy metal detection, and field-effect devices for virus detection. However, as yet there are only a few examples of carbon nanotube-based sensors that have reached the marketplace. Challenges still hamper the real-world application of carbon nanotube-based sensors, primarily, the integration of carbon nanotube sensing elements into analytical devices and fabrication on an industrial scale.
这篇综述重点介绍了碳纳米管（CNTs）在传感器和生物传感器开发方面的最新应用进展。本文讨论了这些器件的各种配置，包括它们在分析设备中的集成。已经开发出基于碳纳米管的传感器，用于广泛的应用，包括用于食品安全的电化学传感器、用于重金属检测的光学传感器以及用于病毒检测的场效应器件。然而，目前只有少数基于碳纳米管的传感器已经进入市场。挑战仍然阻碍着基于碳纳米管的传感器的实际应用，主要是将碳纳米管传感元件集成到分析设备中以及在工业规模上制造。
