The Development of Silicon Nanowire as Sensing Material and Its Applications Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The application of silicon nanowire (SiNW) as a sensing nanomaterial for detection of biological and chemical species has gained attention due to its unique properties. In this review, a short description is also demonstrated on the synthesis techniques of SiNWs and recent progress on sensor development based on electrochemical methods, fluorescence field‐effect transistors (FET), and surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy. We also discussed the challenges of SiNW‐based sensors in the future.
