ABSTRACT

The synergy between biology and electronics has revolutionized the material science and biological science world and have been emerged as a new field of science known as bioelectronics. The fabrication of novel bioelectronic devices integrates the estates of materials as well as biology and will bridge the gap between these two branches. The design and development of bioelectronic devices such as bio-actuators, biofuel cells, and biosensors will open new horizons and prospects in the fields of electronics, biology, medicine, health care, forensic, environmental protection, etc. Among the nanomaterials, carbon-based nanomaterials have the bourgeoning power to act as an interface material in bioelectronic devices. The intriguing chattels of graphene, the allotropic form of carbon have emerged as an innovative and elegant nano-biosensing interface material in recent times. The unique characteristics of graphene such as excellent electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, and larger surface area, brand this material as an auspicious contender in diverse application fields like biosensors, energy storage, and hydrogen storage devices. The striking and brilliant assets of graphene-based nanomaterials have surfaced the assembly of novel bioelectronic devices with amended analytical performances. The biological recognition processes as well as sensing studies can be achieved with a lower detection limit and with a high degree of accuracy by integrating the graphene-based materials. The present chapter will be comprised of structure, synthesis, characterization, and excellent properties of graphene-based interface materials with their promising applications in the fields of bioelectronics and will focus on the future projections of graphene-based bioelectronic interfaces.
