Multi-functionalization Strategies Using Nanomaterials: A Review and Case Study in Sensing Applications

Abstract Remarkable advances in nanomaterials and nanotechnology have led researchers various fields. The scale effects imparted by are associated with unexpected macroscale phenomena properties that find many applications. However, multi-functionalization may be accompanied physical commercial limitations. Therefore, research must proceed several different directions. Here, we define the electrical applications thereof terms of increasing performance, addition new valuable properties, multi-physics play. We deal sensors, actuators, energy harvesters, solar cells explore seeks to increase sensitivity, append “stretchability”, facilitate untethered communication. Furthermore, analyze trends materials use manufacturing, highlight useful fabrication methods. With aim predicting future trends, our review presents a roadmap will aid on sensing multi-functional
