In recent years, there has been considerable interest in advanced sensor-driven technologies with their excellent properties for real-time, non-invasive, and continuous monitoring, sensing, and detecting chemical, physical, thermal, and mechanical parameters. Sensitive and selective detection of functionalized material-based sensors with relevant experimental data focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of pathogens, the risk assessment of quality biomarkers, and water and food quality management. This chapter gives points to all aspects of preparation, characterization, and sensing mechanisms of functionalized material-based sensors. In addition, the chapter presents the structure, preparation process, and applications of different functionalized material-based sensors, biosensors, and nanosensors. Furthermore, there has been great attention in the preparation and sensing behavior of inorganic functional nanomaterial-based sensors, polymer framework-based sensors, metal-organic framework-based sensors, functional nanomaterial-based sensors, two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterial-based sensors, and 2D metal carbide and nitride (MXenes)-based sensors. Consequently, some advanced strategies for synergistic sensing platforms, as well as a comprehensive understanding of the properties, current methodological limitations, applications, and future outlook of next-generation and functionalized sensing materials, are highlighted.
