Abstract

Abstract:

Nano materials with special size effect and excellent photoelectric properties have been highly valued and widely used in sensing analysis for greatly improving the performance of sensor analysis technology. In recent years, with the rapid development of smart agriculture, the quality and safety of agricultural products as an important part of agricultural production have attracted more and more attentions. There are many harmful ingredients, including pesticides, veterinary drugs, mycotoxins, and environmental contaminants etc, can potentially affected the quality and safety of agricultural products. Therefore, high performance analytical methods and sensing technologies are essential. Thanks to the emerging of nano materials, they provide a novel approach to improve the analytical performances of the sensing technologies. Furthermore, the sensors based on nano materials have also been utilized into monitoring the harmful substances in agricultural products. This review briefly described the properties and characteristics of several commonly used nano materials, including carbon nano materials, noble metal based nano materials and metal-organic framework materials, follow discussed on the common sensing and analysis technologies and devices based on nano materials, such as chemical sensor, biosensor, electrochemical sensor and spectral sensor, as well as the application of nano sensing technology in the quality and safety monitoring of agricultural products. Especially, the function of nano materials in sensors and analytical performances of the developed sensors had been discussed in detailed. Chemical sensor devices had the characteristics of fast response speed and high sensitivity. They were widely used in environmental monitoring, food safety and medical diagnosis, such as monitoring hazardous substances, clenbuterol and melamine, metronidazole, dioxins, etc. Biosensors were widely used to monitor prohibited additives, mycotoxins, and so on. Electrochemical sensors were typically equipped with miniaturized analysis equipment, which detected trace targets, including small organic molecules, metal ions and biomolecules, by measuring changed in current and other electrochemical signals. This article introduced surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) , which was one of spectral sensor, and its applications. SERS technology had the advantages of good sensitivity, single molecule detection capability and rich spectral information. It had become a promising spectral technology in the rapid sensing analysis of target objects, and is developing rapidly in the fields of food safety, environmental monitoring and health. Finally, the existing problems of nano sensing and analysis technology, such as achievement of high-performance nano materials, fabrication of sensing devices and construction of high flux sensing arrays were summarized. The development trend and prospect of nanosensor were also discussed. It is believed that the review could provide a lot of useful information for the readers to understand the development of sensing technology for the quality and safety of agricultural products.
