Metal Chalcogenide Biosensors (eBook)

Metal Chalcogenide Biosensors: Fundamentals and Applications provides an overview of advances in materials development of chalcogenides for use in biosensing and sensing applications. The metal chalcogenides discussed include highly reactive metals, noble metals and transition metals. Particular attention is given to the morphology, porosity, structure and fabrication of materials for biosensing applications. The connection between the chalcogenides' physical and chemical properties and device performance is explored. Key parameters for biosensor devices are investigated such as thermodynamics, kinetics, selectivity, sensitivity, efficiency and durability to aid in materials selection. Finally, a range of biosensor devices are addressed including gas biosensors, chemical biosensors, environment biosensors and biological molecule sensors. This book is suitable for those in the fields of materials science and engineering, chemistry and physics. - Reviews the latest advances in fabrication methods for metal chalcogenide-based biosensors - Discusses the parameters of biosensor devices to aid in materials selection - Provides readers with a look at the chemical and physical properties of reactive metals, noble metals and transition metals chalcogenides and their connection to biosensor device performance

Dr. Ali Salehabadi obtained his PhD in Polymer Chemistry from School of Chemical Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia in 2014. Ali is currently postdoctoral fellow in the Environmental Technology Division, School of Industrial Technology, Universiti Sains Malaysia. He is a chemist with the background of polymer chemistry and solid-state energetic materials (Nanomaterials, MOFs, Polymers), with applications in sensors, storage and solar systems. His academic and research experiences provided him with a strong background in multiple disciplines in chemistry, advanced materials, and environments. He published more than 40 papers in top-tier journals including three US-patents, and chapter books.
