2D Materials-Based Sensors: Technology and Applications is a comprehensive book covering the latest innovations on sensors using the unique properties of 2D materials. The primary aim of the book is to present up-to-date information on these sensors in a concise form for students, scientists, and technologists engaged in sensor research and development. Commencing from an introductory survey of the 2D materials family, including graphene, graphitic carbon nitride, hexagonal boron nitride, layered metal chalcogenides, 2D-Xenes and MXenes, layered double hydroxides, metal-organic frameworks, and metal oxides, the book describes the impressive properties of these materials, and their top-down and bottom-up synthesis techniques. The succeeding chapters present detailed descriptions of 2D materials-based mechanical sensors, photodetectors, magnetic sensors together with quantum sensors, heavy-metal ion sensors, gas sensors, and biological sensors. The book concludes with the research challenges, emerging trends, and future outlook providing a balanced perspective of the advances in 2D material sensors including their limitations. Key Features Describes 2D materials process technology and integration of these materials into sensor fabrication. Provides an in-depth coverage of the underlying physics, operation, and performance metrics of 2D materials-based sensors. Highlights state-of-the-art developments in 2D material sensors vis-à-vis challenges faced in their fabrication.

Presents glimpses of emerging 2D materials-based sensor technologies that will shape the future. Expedites understanding and learning through plain, lucid explanations, and clear, insightful diagrams.
