Abstract
This review provides a comprehensive overview of current research involving the use of metallic and polymeric nanowires (NWs) for electrochemical sensing and biosensing. The excellent characteristics of these 1-D nanomaterials and their inherent versatility make them important building blocks for novel electrochemistry on (microfluidic) analytical devices. We outline and critically discuss synthesis, characterization, analytical performance and applications of NWs for electrochemical sensing and biosensing along with examples selected from the literature. With nanowires, we also see a horizon full of possibilities for the scientific community.
