Silicene and Germanene for Biosensing and Imaging Application
subject: bioimaging; biomedicine; biosensing; electronic devices; germanene; graphene; Silicene; two-dimensional materials
description: The discovery of two-dimensional materials creates an immense effect in the field of biomedicine especially in sensing applications. Silicene and germanene are group 14 elements, analogs of graphene. Several experiments and theoretical information have proven the excellent properties of silicene and germanene as semiconductors, capacitors, photocatalysts, and sensors. Computational and other studies show the ability of these two-dimensional materials in biosensing applications. These graphene analogs have fascinating characteristics there are no band gaps in the semiconductors which leads to a lack of stability and is liable to oxidation. Since there is an essentiality of band gap for biosensing applications which can be corrected by making some modifications in these analogs using certain metal substrates. In this chapter, we will summarize silicene and germanene elements, their various properties and their applications in biosensing and bioimaging. This suggests silicene and germaneneas promising nanoelements for the evolution of new electronic equipment for biosensing and other uses in future. 2025 Scrivener Publishing LLC.
