SUSNANO Project Partners Publish Authoritative Review on Graphene-Based Biosensors in ChemElectroChem

The University of Tirana, ICN2, and Palacký University Olomouc – partners in the SUSNANO project – have recently published a joint review paper in the prestigious journal ChemElectroChem. The article, entitled "Graphene Derivatives as Efficient Transducing Materials for Covalent Immobilization of Biocomponents in Electrochemical Biosensors," marks a significant contribution to the rapidly evolving field of biosensor technology.

The review explores the transformative potential of graphene derivatives in electrochemical biosensors, with wide-ranging applications across diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and industrial sensing. By focusing on innovations in both synthesis and covalent functionalization, the paper highlights how these advanced materials enhance the stability, specificity, and scalability of biosensing platforms.

A particular emphasis is placed on the role of covalent immobilization strategies, which ensure durable and reproducible sensor performance – a critical requirement for real-world applications. The paper also discusses emerging approaches such as inkjet-printed graphene inks, which pave the way for sustainable, low-cost, and portable sensing solutions.

With its forward-looking perspective and detailed technical insights, the publication positions graphene-based biosensors at the forefront of modern analytical technologies, supporting the SUSNANO project’s broader vision of fostering sustainable innovation in nanomaterials and sensor development.
