The components and types of conventional sensors and nanosensors are presented. The nanodevices of carbon nanotubes and nanoribbons are shown. These nanotubes and nanoribbons can serve as chemical, physical, or biological nanosensors. The architecture of nanosensor devices is illustrated. Examples of chemical nanosensors of ethanol and oxygen on carbon nanotubes is given. Carbon nanotubes mechanical as well as mass nanosensors are depicted. Furthermore, graphene-based and graphyne-based chemical nanosensors for H\(_2\)O, CO, CO\(_2\), NO, NO\(_2\), and NH\(_3\) molecules are explained. In addition, boron clusters and fullerenes as chemical nanosensors are discussed. |
