Nonenzymatic Electrochemical Glucose Sensor Based on Pt Nanoparticles/Mesoporous Carbon Matrix

A nonenzymatic amperometric sensor for sensitive and selective detection of glucose has been constructed by using highly dispersed Pt nanoparticles supported onto mesoporous carbons (MCs). The Pt nanoparticles/mesoporous carbons (Pt/MCs) composites modified electrode displayed high electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of glucose. At an applied potential of 0.1 V, the Pt/MCs electrode has a linear dependence (R=0.996) in the glucose concentration up to 7.5 mM with a sensitivity of 8.52 mA M^?1 cm^?2. The Pt/MCs electrode has also shown highly resistant toward poisoning by chloride ions and without interference from the oxidation of common interfering species.     

Amperometric Glucose Biosensors Based on Glassy Carbon and SWCNT‐Modified Glassy Carbon Electrodes

Different carbonaceous materials, such as single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and glassy carbon submitted to an electrochemical activation at +1.80 V (vs. SCE) for 900 s, have been used with the aim of comparing their performances in the development of enzyme electrodes. Commercial SWCNTs have been pretreated with 2.2 M HNO₃ for 20 h prior to use. The utility of activated GC as promising material for amperometric oxidase‐based biosensors has been confirmed. With glucose oxidase (GOx) as a model enzyme, glucose was efficiently detected up to 1 mM without the use of a mediator. Both electrodes operated in stirred solutions of 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 5.5), containing dissolved oxygen, at a potential of ?0.40 V vs. SCE. Although the performances of the two carbonaceous materials were comparable, the biosensors based on activated GC were characterized by a practically unchanged response 40 days after the fabrication, a better signal to noise ratio, and a little worse sensitivity. In addition, the preparation procedure of such biosensors was more simple, rapid and reproducible.     

A Non‐Enzymatic Glucose Sensor Based on Ni/MnO2 Nanocomposite Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode

A novel flower like 3D nickel/manganese dioxide (Ni/MnO₂) nanocomposite was synthesized by a kind of simple electrochemical method and the formation mechanism of flower like structure was also researched. In addition, morphology and composition of the nanocomposite were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Then the Ni/MnO₂ nanocomposites were applied to fabricate electrochemical non‐enzymatic glucose sensor. The electrochemical investigation for the sensor indicated that it possessed an excellent electrocatalytic property for glucose, and could applied to the quantification of glucose with a linear range from 2.5×10^?7 to 3.5×10^?3 M, a sensitivity of 1.04 mA mM^?1 cm^?2, and a detection limit of 1×10^?7 M (S/N=3). The proposed sensor also presented attractive features such as interference‐free, and long‐term stability. The present study provided a general platform for the one‐step synthesis of nanomaterials with novel structure and can be extended to other optical, electronic and magnetic nanocompounds.

Elecrochemical Determination of Ethanol by a Palladium Modified Graphene Nanocomposite Glassy Carbon Electrode

Pristine palladium nanoparticles were decorated on graphene nanosheets for the development of a low-cost, nonenzymatic ethanol sensor. The nanocomposite was characterized by ultraviolet–visible absorbance spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and field emission scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry were used to quantify ethanol in alkaline media. A graphene palladium nanocomposite-modified glassy carbon electrode provided a detection limit of 2?mM with a linear dynamic range of 2–210?mM for ethanol determination. The nanocomposite exhibited excellent stability for 100 cyclic voltammetry scans. Ethanol oxidation was performed across a range of temperatures, unlike enzymatic based sensors. Moreover, the catalytic material showed a low activation energy and low onset potentials for the oxidation of ethanol. Interference studies with congeners of ethanol in fermentation chambers showed good selectivity for the analyte. The enhanced catalytic activity for ethanol detection involves the combination of pristine palladium nanoparticles with the enhanced conductivity of graphene.     

Glucose Biosensor Based on Multi‐Walled Carbon Nanotube Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode

An amperometric glucose biosensor based on multi‐walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) modified glassy carbon electrode has been developed. MWCNT‐modified glassy carbon electrode was obtained by casting the electrode surface with multi‐walled carbon nanotube materials. Glucose oxidase was co‐immobilized on the MWCNT‐modified glassy carbon surface by electrochemical deposition of poly(o‐phenylenediamine) film. Enhanced catalytic electroreduction behavior of oxygen at MWCNT‐modified electrode surface was observed at a potential of ?0.40 V (vs. Ag|AgCl) in neutral medium. The steady‐state amperometric response to glucose was determined at a selected potential of ?0.30 V by means of the reduction of dissolved oxygen consumed by the enzymatic reaction. Common interferents such as ascorbic acid, 4‐acetamidophenol, and uric acid did not interfere in the glucose determination. The linear range for glucose determination extended to 2.0 mM and the detection limit was estimated to be about 0.03 mM.     

Immobilized Fullerene C60‐Enzyme‐Based Electrochemical Glucose Sensor

A mixed‐valence cluster of cobalt(II) hexacyanoferrate and fullerene C60‐enzyme‐based electrochemical glucose sensor was developed. A water insoluble fullerene C60‐glucose oxidase (C60‐GOD) was prepared and applied as an immobilized enzyme on a glassy carbon electrode with cobalt(II) hexacyanoferrate for analysis of glucose. The glucose in 0.1 M KCl/phosphate buffer solution at pH = 6 was measured with an applied electrode potential at 0.0 mV (vs Ag/AgCl reference electrode). The C60‐GOD‐based electrochemical glucose sensor exhibited efficient electro‐catalytic activity toward the liberated hydrogen peroxide and allowed cathodic detection of glucose. The C60‐GOD electrochemical glucose sensor also showed quite good selectivity to glucose with no interference from easily oxidizable biospecies, e.g. uric acid, ascorbic acid, cysteine, tyrosine, acetaminophen and galactose. The current of H₂O₂ reduced by cobalt(II) hexacyanoferrate was found to be proportional to the concentration of glucose in aqueous solutions. The immobilized C60‐GOD enzyme‐based glucose sensor exhibited a good linear response up to 8 mM glucose with a sensitivity of 5.60 × 10² nA/mM and a quite short response time of 5 sec. The C60‐GOD‐based glucose sensor also showed a good sensitivity with a detection limit of 1.6 × 10^‐6 M and a high reproducibility with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 4.26%. Effects of pH and temperature on the responses of the immobilized C60‐GOD/cobalt(II) hexacyanoferrate‐based electrochemical glucose sensor were also studied and discussed.

Dopamine and Glucose Sensors Based on Glassy Carbon Electrodes Modified with Melanic Polymers

This work deals with the study of polymers electrogenerated from different catechols at glassy carbon electrodes and the analytical applications of the resulting modified electrodes for dopamine quantification and glucose biosensing. The electropolymerization was performed from a 3.0×10^?3 M catechol solution (catechol, dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine or L ‐dopa in a 0.050 M phosphate buffer pH 7.40) by applying 1.00 V for 60 min. The properties of the polymers are very dependent on the nature of the catechol, L ‐dopa being the best. Glassy carbon electrodes modified with melanic polymers electrogenerated from L ‐dopa and norepinephrine were found to be suitable for dopamine determinations in flow systems, although the behavior was highly dependent on the nature of the monomer. Detection limits of 5.0 nM dopamine and interferences of 9.0 and 2.6% for 5.0×10^?4 M ascorbic acid and 5.0×10^?5 M dopac, respectively, were obtained at the glassy carbon electrode modified with a melanin‐type polymer generated from L ‐dopa (using 1.0×10^?3 M AA in the measurement solution). The advantages of using a melanin‐type polymer generated from dopamine to improve the selectivity of glucose biosensors based on carbon paste electrodes containing Pt and glucose oxidase (GOx) are also discussed. The resulting bioelectrodes combines the high sensitivity of metallized electrodes with the selectivity given by the polymeric layer. They exhibit excellent performance for glucose with a rapid response (around 10 seconds per sample), a wide linear range (up to 2.5×10^?2 M glucose), low detection limits (143 μM) and a highly reproducible response (R.S.D of 4.9%). The bioelectrodes are highly stable and almost free from the interference of large excess of easily oxidizable compounds found in biological fluids, such as ascorbic acid (AA), uric acid (UA) and acetaminophen.     

An Antibacterial Nonenzymatic Glucose Sensor Composed of Carbon Nanotubes Decorated with Silver Nanoparticles

A glucose sensor composed of silver nanoparticles decorated carbon nanotubes (Ag‐NPs/CNTs) prepared by ion implantation is described. Ag‐NPs with size of 2–4 nm are uniformly distributed in the CNTs after ion implantation. This process provides a strong combination between Ag‐NPs and CNTs and can effectively prevent the Ag‐NPs from aggregation. A linear range of 125 µM to 10 mM towards glucose determination was obtained. The Ag‐NPs/CNTs electrode shows minimal interferences from co‐existence species such as uric acid and ascorbic acid and an antibacterial rate of 94 % towards E. coli.     

Electrochemical Sensor for Detection of Glucose Based on Ni@Pt Core‐shell Nanoparticles Supported on Carbon

In this work, Ni@Pt core‐shell nanoparticles with diameter of 3–4 nm and thin Pt shell was synthesized by a successive reduction approach using carbon as support to develop high‐performance non‐enzymatic glucose sensor. The resulting electrochemical sensor displayed good catalytic activity toward glucose oxidation, presenting a high current density of 66.9 µA mM^?1 cm^?2 at an applied potential of ?0.1 V. It showed a wide linear range of 0.1–30.1 mM and the limit of detection was down to 30 µM (S/N=3). Notably, it was found that the proposed sensor exhibited good selectivity to avoid the interference from ascorbic acid, uric acid, fructose and acetamidophenol. Furthermore, the feasibility of the as‐prepared non‐enzymatic glucose sensor in the determination of glucose in serum samples was successfully implemented.     

A Highly Sensitive Nonenzymatic Glucose Sensor Based on Carbon Electrode Amplified with PdxCuy Catalyst

Approximately global Pd and Pd₉₄Cu₆ alloy nano catalysts of average diameter 10.5 and 5.9 nm respectively, have been synthesized hydrothermally by wet chemical reduction and co-reduction methods without addition of any capping agent. X-ray diffraction and various microscopic studies are used to characterize the crystal phase and the morphology of the catalysts. Non-enzymatic amperometric glucose sensors based on these synthesized catalyst materials are tested and compared in alkali at different potentials by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The sensors characterized by fixed potential chronoamperometry are found to be sufficiently sensitive to glucose at different negative potentials like −0.65 V, −0.40 V, −0.10 V with respect to Hg/HgO electrode (E⁰≈0.1 V), where the reactions of glucose oxidation are different. The sensor constructed with Pd₉₄Cu₆ nanocatalyst shows an outstanding sensitivity of 10.1 mA cm⁻² mM⁻¹ which is considerably higher than that constructed with similarly synthesized Pd nanoparticles at any potential and that found in the literature of Pd based glucose sensors. The lower detection limit and response time obtained with Pd₉₄Cu₆ nanoparticles are 10 μM and 3 s respectively. These sensors also exhibit high specificity to glucose and significant anti-interference property against some common species like ascorbic acid (AA), uric acid (UA) and some monosaccharides whose interfering effects are found to decrease with decrease of potential of glucose oxidation. The electrocatalytic ability of the synthesized Pd and Pd₉₄Cu₆ nanoparticles toward glucose oxidation has also found promising in blood sample at different potentials.     

Glassy Carbon Electrodes Modified with Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes Dispersed in Polylysine

We report the analytical performance of glassy carbon electrodes (GCE) modified with a dispersion of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) in polylysine (Plys) (GCE/MWCNT‐Plys). The resulting electrodes show an excellent electrocatalytic activity towards different bioanalytes like ascorbic acid, uric acid and hydrogen peroxide, with important decrease in their oxidation overvoltages. The dispersion of 1.0 mg/mL MWCNT in 1.0 mg/mL polylysine is highly stable, since after 2 weeks the sensitivity for hydrogen peroxide at GCE modified with this dispersion remained in a 90% of the original value. The MWCNT‐Plys layer immobilized on glassy carbon electrodes has been also used as a platform to build supramolecular architectures by self‐assembling of polyelectrolytes based on the polycationic nature of the polylysine used to disperse the nanotubes. The self‐assembling of glucose oxidase has allowed us to obtain a supramolecular multistructure for glucose biosensing. The influence of glucose oxidase concentration and adsorption time as well as the effect of using polylysine or MWCNT‐Plys as polycationic layers for further adsorption of GOx is also evaluated.

A Nonenzymatic Glucose Sensor Using Nanoporous Platinum Electrodes Prepared by Electrochemical Alloying/Dealloying in a Water‐Insensitive Zinc Chloride‐1‐Ethyl‐3‐Methylimidazolium Chloride Ionic Liquid

We report here a nonenzymatic sensor by using a nanoporous platinum electrode to detect glucose directly. The electrode was fabricated by electrochemical deposition and dissolution of PtZn alloy in zinc chloride‐1‐ethyl‐3‐methylimidazolium chloride (ZnCl₂‐EMIC) ionic liquid. Both SEM and electrochemical studies showed the evidences for the nanoporous characteristics of the as‐prepared Pt electrodes. Amperometric measurements allow observation of the electrochemical oxidation of glucose at 0.4 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) in pH 7.4 phosphate buffer solution. The sensor also demonstrates significant reproducibility in glucose detection; the higher the roughness factor of the Pt electrode, the lower the detection limit of glucose. The interfering species such as ascorbic acid and p‐acetamidophenol can be avoided by using a Pt electrode with a high roughness factor of 151. Overall, the nanoporous Pt electrode is promising for enzymeless detection of glucose at physiological condition.     

Reagentless Glucose Biosensor Based on the Direct Electrochemistry of Glucose Oxidase on Carbon Nanotube‐Modified Electrodes

The direct electrochemistry of glucose oxidase (GOD) was revealed at a carbon nanotube (CNT)‐modified glassy carbon electrode, where the enzyme was immobilized with a chitosan film containing gold nanoparticles. The immobilized GOD displays a pair of redox peaks in pH 7.4 phosphate buffer solutions (PBS) with the formal potential of about ?455 mV (vs. Ag/AgCl) and shows a surface‐controlled electrode process. Bioactivity remains good, along with effective catalysis of the reduction of oxygen. In the presence of dissolved oxygen, the reduction peak current decreased gradually with the addition of glucose, which could be used for reagentless detection of glucose with a linear range from 0.04 to 1.0 mM. The proposed glucose biosensor exhibited high sensitivity, good stability and reproducibility, and was also insensitive to common interferences such as ascorbic and uric acid. The excellent performance of the reagentless biosensor is attributed to the effective enhancement of electron transfer between enzyme and electrode surface by CNTs, and the biocompatible environment that the chitosan film containing gold nanoparticles provides for immobilized GOD.     

Nonenzymatic Electrochemical Biosensor Based on Novel Hydrophilic Ferrocene‐terminated Hyperbranched Polymer and its Application in Glucose Detection

We designed a novel water soluble topological structure polymer‐ferrocene‐ terminated hyperbranched polyurethane (HPU‐Fc) with good water solubility. The redox behaviors and the electrochemical kinetics parameters of HPU‐Fcs were explored by cyclic voltammetry (CV) according to electrochemical principle. The topological structure polymer was applied for the design and engineering of non‐enzymatic glucose sensor. The designed sensor showed good response to glucose concentration with good stability, favorable accuracy and high selectivity. The electrode was also used to detect glucose in blood samples, and the glucose contents detected by the electrode were in good agreement with those from the hospital where a common automatic biochemical analyzer (HF240–300) was used. This finding makes HPU‐Fc a promising biosensor for directly sensing glucose.
