Ag@TiO2 nanoribbon array: a high-performance sensor for electrochemical non-enzymatic glucose detection in beverage sample

Developing an accurate, cost-effective, reliable, and stable glucose detection sensor for the food industry poses a significant yet challenging endeavor. Herein, we present a silver nanoparticle-decorated titanium dioxide nanoribbon array on titanium plate (Ag@TiO2/TP) as an efficient electrode for non-enzymatic glucose detection in alkaline environments. Electrochemical evaluations of the Ag@TiO2/TP electrode reveal a broad linear response range (0.001 mM - 4 mM), high sensitivity (19,106 and 4264 μA mM-1 cm-2), rapid response time (6 s), and a notably low detection limit (0.18 μM, S/N = 3). Moreover, its efficacy in measuring glucose in beverage samples shows its practical applicability. The impressive performance and structural benefits of the Ag@TiO2/TP electrode highlight its potential in advancing electrochemical sensors for small molecule detection.

Hierarchical N-doped porous carbon scaffold Cu/Co-oxide with enhanced electrochemical sensing properties for the detection of glucose in beverages and ascorbic acid in vitamin C tablets

This research focuses on the development of a highly efficient electrocatalyst, CuxO/NPC@Co3O4/NPC-10-7, for detecting glucose and ascorbic acid. In a 0.1 M NaOH solution, the modified electrode exhibits a sensitivity of 3314.29 μA mM-1 cm-2 for glucose detection. The linear range for ascorbic acid sensing is 0.5 μM - 23.332 mM, with a detection limit as low as 0.24 μM. In a 0.1 M PBS solution, the linear range for ascorbic acid detection extends to 43.328 mM, which represents the best performance reported to date by chronoamperometry. Moreover, the electrode demonstrates high accuracy, with a recovery rate of 96.80 % - 103.60 % for glucose detection and a recovery rate of 95.25 % - 104.83 % for ascorbic acid detection. These results suggest that the CuxO/NPC@Co3O4/NPC-10-7 modified electrode shows significant potential for practical applications in food detection.

Highly sensitive detection of glucose at a novel non-enzyme electrochemical sensing based on Mo-doped CoO Nanosheets

In this work, a Mo doped CoO nanosheet grown on nickel foam (labeled as: Mo-CoO) with defect-rich and improved electron transfer capacity was designed to be used as a novel non-enzyme electrode material. Physical characterizations demonstrated the Mo elements were doped inside of the samples and they were mutually stabilized with each other, resulting in a high structural stability electrochemical catalytical activity even if the content of Mo was low. For non-enzymatic glucose electrochemical sensing, the prepared Mo-CoO-1 showed a remarkable sensitivity of 89.3 mA cm-2  mM-1 , and a low detection limit of 0.43 μM. Density functional theory (DFT) studies revealed that the doped Mo atom exhibited a higher d-band center compared to the Co atom. A stronger p-d orbital hybridization between the glucose and the Mo atoms indicated the enhancement of glucose adsorption and activation. Importantly, Mo-CoO-1 provided a good selectivity and long-term stability, which can be expected to be used in future practical applications.
