'Dispersible electrodes': a solution to slow response times of sensitive sensors.
Herein, we introduce the concept of utilizing conductive gold-coated magnetic nanoparticles as 'dispersible electrodes', which serve as the active element in the selective capture and direct electro-analytical quantification of analytes. This concept reduces response times and decreases detection limits by bringing the sensor to the analyte rather than the conventional paradigm of the analyte finding the sensor.
