Full review: The progress and developing trends of nanosheet-based sensing applications

Due to the extremely high area-to-thickness, nanosheets have become one of the rising research fields with vast applications. In comparison with other bulk materials, the 2D structure reveals unique physical (e.g., ultra-thin thickness, high flexibility and stretchability, excellent adhesion, etc.), electrochemical properties (e.g., superior electrical, catalytic properties, etc.) and expected to have immense potential for high-performance sensors. In this review, the state-of-the-art research in nanosheet-based sensing applications are discussed into three subtopics of the electrocatalytic sensor, gas sensor and epidermal sensor.
