The selection of materials and fabrication techniques is crucial for an adequate sensor function and the performance of a sensor often ultimately depends upon these factors. Consequently, future developments in sensor design will inevitably focus upon the technology of new materials. Materials used in electrochemical sensors are classified as (1) materials for the electrode and supporting substrate (metals platinum, gold, silver, and stainless steel carbon-based materials graphite, carbon black, and carbon fibre new mixed materials or organic electroconductive... 

Chapter 1 contains a review of carbon materials, and emphasizes the stmeture and chemical bonding in the various forms of carbon, including the foui" allotropes diamond, graphite, carbynes, and the fullerenes. In addition, amorphous carbon and diamond fihns, carbon nanoparticles, and engineered carbons are discussed. The most recently discovered allotrope of carbon, i.e., the fullerenes, along with carbon nanotubes, are more fully discussed in Chapter 2, where their structure-property relations are reviewed in the context of advanced technologies for carbon based materials. The synthesis, structure, and properties of the fullerenes and... 

Fig. 10. Temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of various carbon-based materials. The data on HOPG (H//c) are taken at 200 Oe. The data reported for nanolubes, graphite (H in-plane), and diamond, were taken at 4 kOe, those on diamond at 8 kOe. The ordinate axis is negative (after Heremans et al.[26 ).

Carbonaceous materials with varying degree of graphitic order are the most common commercial anodes in secondary lithium-ion batteries. Among carbon-based materials, natural graphite is the most promising anode... 

The pore structure and surface area of carbon-based materials determine their physical characteristics, while the surface chemical structure affects interactions with polar and nonpolar molecules due to the presence of chemically reactive fimctional groups. Active sites—edges, dislocations, and discontinuities—determine the reactivity of the carbon surface. As shown in Fig. 1, graphitic materials have at least two distinct types of surface sites, namely, the basal-plane and edge-plane sites [11]. It is generally considered... 

The key to the successful development of this method lies in the development of inexpensive electrodes possessing high electrical conductivity, chemical and physical stability, large selective ion removal capacity, and reasonable electrochemical efficiency. Graphite and carbon-based materials are considered to be the most promising. 

Preparation of an MIP-based composite is a valuable method for immobilization of MIP on the transducer surface. For instance, a carbon-based material, such as graphite, is mixed in this procedure with MIP particles to form a composite [173]. This composite and transducer surface (graphite) is then brought in contact to enhance binding of the sensing element and the conducting substrate. The most important aspect of this procedure is that abrasive polishing can readily renew the surface of the chemosensor.

Elemental carbon is usually handled in three forms graphite, diamond, and amorphous carbon. Graphite and amorphous carbon have been extensively used in electrochemistry because of their high electrical conductivity, chemical stability, versatility, and low cost. For electrochemical applications, such materials can be manufactured in bars, powders, and fibers or can even form conducting composites when appropriate binders are used. A number of carbon-based materials, such as pyrolytic carbon, carbon blacks, activated carbons, graphite fibers, whiskers, glassy carbon, etc., have been used in electrochemistry for decades (Yoshimura and Chang, 1998).
