This review describes the current state and the challenges of Analytical Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (AN&N) regarding the use of carbon nanomaterials as nano tools for nanoparticle characterization and determination, which is included in the “Third Way” of AN&N.
Therein, this review article attempts to provide a systematic comparison of the recent analytical methodologies involving carbon nanoparticles
as analytical tools in this context, which focuses, on the one hand, on the preconcentration and capture of nano analytes and, on the other hand, on the sensing and detection of other nanoparticles.
