Abstract
Nanomaterials have revolutionized the sensing and biosensing fields, with the
development of more sensitive and selective devices for multiple applications.
Gold, silver and iron oxide nanoparticles have played a particularly major role in
this development. In this review, we provide a general overview of the synthesis
and characteristics of gold, silver and iron oxide nanoparticles, along with the main
strategies for their surface functionalization with ligands and biomolecules. Finally,
different architectures suitable for electrochemical applications are reviewed, as well
as their main fabrication procedures. We conclude with some considerations from
the authors’ perspective regarding the promising use of these materials and the challenges to be faced in the near future.
