The use of carbon nanotubes (CNT) for fabrication of sensors and biosensors has increased considerably over the past decade. This review covers the progress and advances made during the years (2014-2018) in the utilisation of carbon nanotubes for fabrication of electrochemical biosensors. The focus of the review is on reported CNT-based biosensors for detection of, important substances, such as glucose, H2O2, (DNA), ascorbic acid, uric acid, dopamine, metal ions, and pesticides. The review starts by first discussing the structures and properties of CNTs, followed by discussion of some of the synthetic methods for CNTs preparation. The working principles and performances of CNT-based biosensors are then discussed. Considerations for future developments in CNT-based biosensors are also outlined.

A novel composite was firstly synthesized by compositing graphenes (G) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and then a new composite modified electrode (G/CNTs/GCE) was prepared by coating the resulting composite on the surface of the glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The composite modified electrode G/CNTs/GCE showed great electrochemical activities which were studied by sensitive determining the electrochemistry behaviors of uric acid (UA). It revealed when the concentration range of UA changed from 1×10-7 mol/L to 1×10-3 mol/L, the peak currents had linear relationship with the concentration of UA in the phosphate buffer solution (PBS) which the value of pH is 7.0. And the linear equation is ip (μA) = 21.55C+28.94 (C: mmol/L), with the related coefficient 0.9964.

In this paper, we demonstrated a gold nanoparticle based two-photon photoluminescence (TPPL) assay for the detection of dopamine with the detection limit of 0.3 μM. Protonated dopamine molecules can bind bidentately to surface of gold atoms through the catechol group. The adsorption of dopamine displaces the stabilizing agent of citrate groups, and neutralizes the charge of solution, resulting in non-cross linking aggregation of Au NPs. Aggregation of Au NPs could induce significantly enhanced TPPL. Thus, a simple TPPL assay was designed. We have shown that when Au NPs solution was mixed with dopamine, TPPL intensity increased by about 47 times. The mechanism of sensing assay has been discussed. In addition, the TPPL assay was highly selective to dopamine and it can distinguish from uric acid, ascorbic acid and metal ions.
