Abstract
Immobilization of biomaterials is a very important task in the development of biofuel cells and biosensors. Some semiconducting metal-oxide-based supporting materials can be used in these bioelectronics-based devices. In this article, we are reviewing some functionalization methods that are applied for the immobilization of biomaterials. The most significant attention is paid to the immobilization of biomolecules on the surface of semiconducting metal oxides. The improvement of biomaterials immobilization on metal oxides and analytical performance of biosensors by coatings based on conducting polymers, self-assembled monolayers and lipid membranes is discussed.
