Electrochemical Surface Plasmon Resonance for Efficient Sensing and Analysis

Abstract

The optical phenomenon of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is widely used for a variety of applications viz. sensing, drug-target interactions and dielectrics in material science. Several sensing applications based on optical perception do exhibit a change in electrochemical behavior. Therefore, integrating electrochemical platform in SPR measurement may ensure a simultaneous observation of the optical and electrochemical responses. The sensing platform based on such multiparameters is more reliable in decision making and therefore it can be a potential transducer for the next generation of sensing. This chapter briefly discusses the fundamentals of SPR and electrochemical SPR (eSPR), instrumentation and a variety of sensing applications.
