Hierarchical Co(OH)2-Ni(OH)2/Ni nano-flakes modified electrode with highly rough surface for advanced determination of glucose
摘要
A highly sensitive nano-flakes like electrochemical glucose sensor was fabricated via a highly surface-roughened Ni(OH)2/Ni electrode decorated with Co(OH)2 (NF Co(OH)2-Ni(OH)2/Ni electrode). The composite electrode is binder-free, which was fabricated by immersing a commercial Ni disk electrode in 1 M HNO3 and 0.1 M NaOH solution at room temperature and subsequent electrodeposition of 0.1 M Co(NO3)2 precursor in aqueous solution. The composite electrode has a large surface area, which enhances the electro-oxidation of glucose and the performance in sensing. The catalytic activity of NF Co(OH)2-Ni(OH)2/Ni towards electrooxidation of glucose was examined. It shows high sensitivity (1244 µA·mM−1·cm−2), low detection limit (0.08 µM), wide linear range (2 µM ~ 8.11 mM). Moreover, the sensor exhibited good selectivity, repeatability and stability, and accurate analysis of glucose in glucose injection.
