Popis: By raising the explosive-based terrorism during the last years and environmental concerns, the innovation of high efficiency sensors for detection of explosives has become one of the major demands in societies. Because of their unique electrical and optical properties, nanomaterials show high potential to cover all the requirements for producing selective, sensitive, simple, and low cast sensors for trace explosives detection. This review focuses mainly on the recent advances on nanomaterial-based sensors for detection of nitroaromatic-based explosives. Especially, the optical and electrochemical detection of nitroaromatic-based explosives through quantum dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene, metal nanoparticles and the hybrid nanomaterials are discussed. Specific characteristics of involved nanomaterials, their modification, detection mechanism, and analytical aspects are reviewed in details.
