Abstract

Metal oxide nanomaterials (MONMs) have captivated a lot of attention due to their unique analytical properties such as fast electron transfers kinetics, large surface area, catalytic ability, conductivity (enhancement of charge flow), biocompatibility and excellent electrochemical properties. These properties have allured scientists towards employing MONMs as an upcoming platform for the development of various biosensors for different electroanalyte, biological compounds, biological molecules or cancer biomarkers. It is important to highlight that the early detection of cancer biomarkers will assist in solving the long-standing health problems in the world. In view of this, the present chapter underscores the construction of different biosensors using metal oxide nanomaterials as a novel platform for the determination of various biological molecules.
