Surface Plasmon Resonance Platforms for Chemical and Bio-Sensing

ABSTRACT

Light is being vastly explored towards favoring the advancement of technology and the improvement of the life quality of the population. Photonic materials that can manipulate light in a nanometric scale have become very competitive for the construction of chemical and bio sensors, mainly because they can be more sensitive, specific, and of a lower cost. Considering the serious health crisis experienced worldwide due to COVID-19, the importance of research in this field has become even clearer and greater. In this article, sensing platforms based on the exciting and promising plasmonic materials is broadly addressed. The sections covered here seek not just to introduce the theoretical concepts and state-of-the-art techniques, but also highlight the achieved advances and inspire future research on this rich and promising area. © 2023 Elsevier Ltd.
