Sub-5 nm nanogap electrodes towards single-molecular biosensing

Copyright © 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved..

Nanogap electrodes (NGEs) with sub-5 nm gap has been widely used in single-molecule sensing and sequencing, with the characteristics of label-free, high sensitivity, rapid detection and low-cost. However, the fabrication of sub-5 nm gap electrodes with high controllability and reproducibility still remains a great challenge that impedes the experimental research and the commercialization of the nanogap device. Here, we review the common currently used fabrication methods of nanogap electrodes, such as gap narrowing deposition, mechanical controllable break junctions and the fabrication methods combined with nanopore or nanochannel. We then highlight the typical applications of nanogap electrodes in biological/chemical sensing fields, including single molecule recognition, single molecule sequencing and chemical kinetics analysis. Finally, the challenges of nanogap electrodes in single molecule sensing/sequencing are outlined and the future directions for sensing perspectives are suggested.
