Abstract

This review (with 131 references) summarizes the progress made in the past years in the field of nanomaterial based sensing of serotonin (5-HT). An introduction summarizes the significant role of 5-HT as a biomarker for several major diseases, methods for its determination and the various kinds of nanomaterials for use in electrochemical sensing process relies principally on a precise choice of electrodes. The next main section covers nanomaterial based methods for sensing 5-HT, with subsections on electrodes modified with carbon nanotubes, graphene related materials, gold nanomaterials, and by other nanomaterials. A concluding section discusses future perspectives and current challenges of 5-HT determination. [Figure not available: see fulltext.]. © 2019, Springer-Verlag GmbH Austria, part of Springer Nature.
