Abstract

The increasing demand for ultra sensitive, selective and rapid analytical techniques has driven significant interest in nanostructured material platforms. Materials engineered at the nanoscale exhibit unique physicochemical properties, including large surface-tn o-volume ratios, tunable electronic structures and enhanced optical responses, which are not present in bulk materials. These properties make nanostructured materials highly effective in improving detection sensitivity, lowering limits of detection and enabling miniaturized analytical systems. This review presents a comprehensive discussion of nanostructured material platforms used in high-sensitivity analytical techniques, including spectroscopic, electrochemical and separation based methods. The design principles, performance enhancement mechanisms, applications and existing challenges are critically examined. Future prospects for integrating nanostructured materials with smart analytical systems are also highlighted.
