Abstract The fabrication of smart, efficient, and innovative devices critically needs highly refined thin‐film nanomaterials; therefore, facile, scalable, economical methods thin films production are sought‐after for the sustainable growth hi‐tech industry. chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique is widely implemented at industrial level due to its versatile features. However, common issues with a precursor, such as reduced volatility thermal stability, restrict use CVD produce novel unique materials. A modified approach, named aerosol‐assisted (AACVD), has been center attention remarkable tendency fabricate uniform, homogenous, distinct nano‐architecture in an uncomplicated straightforward manner. Above all, AACVD can utilize any custom‐made or commercially available precursors, which be transformed into transparent solution organic solvent; thus, vast array compounds used formation nanomaterial films. This review article highlights importance fabricating heterobimetallic oxide their potential making energy (e. g., photoelectrochemical water splitting), storage supercapacitors), environmental protection electrochemical sensors) devices. system involves two metallic species either composite, solid solution, metal‐doped metal oxides. Moreover, tunable parameters, temperature, time, drastically affect microstructure performance device applications, also discussed. Lastly, key challenges scaling up processing emerging functional materials highlighted.

AbstractIn view of ever-increasing environmental pollution, there is an immediate requirement to promote cheap, multiplexed, sensitive and fast biosensing systems monitor these pollutants or contaminants. Aptamers have shown numerous advantages in being used as molecular recognition elements various devices. Graphene graphene-based materials/nanohybrids combined with several detection methods exhibit great potential owing their exceptional optical, electronic physicochemical properties which can be employed extensively For monitoring applications, aptamers been successfully nanohybrids produce a wide range innovative methodologies. are immobilized at the surface graphene based via covalent non-covalent strategies. This review highlights design, working principle, recent developmental advances applications nanohybrid aptasensors (GNH-Apts) (since January 2014 September 2021) special emphasis on two major signal-transduction methods, i.e., optical electrochemical for pesticides, heavy metals, bacteria, antibiotics, organic compounds from different samples (e.g., water, soil related). Lastly, challenges confronted by scientists possible future outlook also addressed. It expected that high-performance would find broad field monitoring.Keywords: Aptasensorsenvironmental monitoringgraphene nanohybridsheavy metalspesticides Credit author statementQurat ul Ain Zahra: Investigation, Methodology, Writing– original draft; Zhaofeng Luo: Funding acquisition, & editing; Salim Ullah: Shazia Fatima: writing, Sadaf Batool: Xiaona Fang: Writing – Bensheng Qiu: Supervision, editing, Resources.
