Abstract
Detection and recognition of chemical and biological species via sensor electronics are important not only for various sensing applications but also for fundamental scientific understanding. In the past two decades, sensor devices using one-dimensional (1D) nanowires have emerged as promising and powerful platforms for electrical detection of chemical species and biologically relevant molecules due to their superior sensing performance, long-term stability, and ultra-low power consumption. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of the recent progress and achievements in 1D nanowire synthesis, working principles of nanowire-based sensors, and the applications of nanowire-based sensor electronics in chemical and biological analytes detection and recognition. In addition, some critical issues that hinder the practical applications of 1D nanowire-based sensor electronics, including device reproducibility and selectivity, stability, and power consumption, will be highlighted. Finally, challenges, perspectives, and opportunities for developing advanced and innovative nanowire-based sensor electronics in chemical and biological applications are featured.

Abstract
Since the first introduction of one-dimensional nanochannels for single-molecule detection, there has been increasing interest in modern nanofluidic systems, such as chemical and biological sensing applications. Recently developed nanowires (NWs) and nanotubes (NTs) have received tremendous attention due to their unique geometrical, physical and chemical properties, which are very attractive in this field. Here, we review the recent research activities in the field of novel nanofluidic cells based on NWs and NTs. First, we give a brief introduction of this field. Then the common synthesis methods of NWs and NTs are summarized. After that, we discuss the working principle and sensing mechanism of nanofluidic devices, which is fundamental to the interaction between these nanostructures and small molecules. Finally, we present the NW- and NT-based devices for chemical and bio-sensing applications, such as gas sensing, pathogen detection, DNA sequencing, and so forth.

Abstract
Industrial fermentation generates products through microbial growth associated with the consumption of substrates. The efficiency of industrial production of high commercial value microbial products such as ethanol from glucose (GLU) is dependent on bacterial contamination. Controlling the sugar conversion into products as well as the sterility of the fermentation process are objectives to be considered here by studying GLU and ultraviolet light (UV) sensors. In this work, we present two different approaches of SnO2 nanowires grown by the Vapor–Liquid–Solid (VLS) method. In the GLU sensor, we use SnO2 nanowires as active electrodes, while for the UV sensor, a nanowire film was built for detection. The results showed a wide range of GLU sensing and as well as a significant influence of UV in the electrical signal. The effect of a wide range of GLU concentrations on the responsiveness of the sensor through current–voltage based on SnO2 nanowire films under different concentration conditions ranging was verified from 1 to 1000 mmol. UV sensors show a typical amperometric response of SnO2 nanowires under the excitation of UV and GLU in ten cycles of 300 s with 1.0 V observing a stable and reliable amperometric response. GLU and UV sensors proved to have a promising potential for detection and to control the conversion of a substrate into a product by GLU control and decontamination by UV control in industrial fermentation systems.
