Abstract

In recent years, the application and development of nanomaterials in the field of biosensors has become a hot topic in scientific research. With their unique physical and chemical properties, such as size effect, surface effect, and quantum effect, nanomaterials provide new research ideas and technical approaches for the development of biosensor technology. This paper systematically overviews the main types of nanomaterials and biosensors, and introduces in detail the preparation methods and key physical properties of various nanomaterials, including plasmonic nanomaterials, carbon-based nanomaterials, metal-organic frameworks, etc. On this basis, this paper focuses on summarizing the latest research progress of nanomaterials in the field of biosensors in recent years, specifically involving four key application directions: disease screening and diagnosis, drug residue detection, material performance optimization, and environmental monitoring. By systematically sorting out and looking forward to the cutting-edge applications of nanomaterials in the field of biosensors, it aims to provide valuable references for researchers in related fields and bring new inspiration to the basic research and application development of nanomaterials in the future.
